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.

WILLIE ELLISON


Willie Ellison played for the Rams from 1967-1972. His first four seasons were spent in relative obscurity. Then he busted out in 1971 with his first and only 1000 yard season as a pro. What put him on the NFL map that year was his record-breaking game late in the season against the New Orleans Saints, when he rushed for a single-game record of 247 yards. The record was broken a few years later, and Ellison finished his career with the Kansas City Chiefs.
