GAME PLAN

Let's get started. I'm a die-hard Rams fan. I had season tickets both at the Coliseum and Anaheim Stadium for many years. And even photographed several games from the sidelines over the final two seasons before they moved. This blog was created after reading a newspaper column by Bill Plaschke in the Los Angeles Times Sports section (read it here) about the lack of identity for former L.A. Rams players. I decided to see how many Rams fans still have an appreciation for what the Rams meant to L.A. If you're a real fan, you've got stories to tell and opinions to share. Even if you're bitter about losing our team to St. Louis, air it out right here.

KURT WARNER


OK. . .Kurt Warner no longer plays for the Rams. And he was never a Los Angeles Ram. But if you've remained a Rams fan all these years, you've got to like this guy. Number one, he came out of nowhere and won a Super Bowl for the Rams in St. Louis. After injuring his hand and going through a couple of trades, he ends up in Arizona in what would most likely be a backup role and mentor to Matt Leinart. But he hangs in there and guides the Cards to the playoffs and upsets Atlanta and Carolina in the first two rounds, leading his team into the NFC title game next week at home against the Eagles. I'd love to see Warner and the Cards come through as the underdogs and win it all.

2/1/09 Postscript. Well they reached the Super Bowl, Warner came through in the clutch and the Cards took a late lead, but their defense couldn't finish the job. Congratulations Steelers.
