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.

JEROME BETTIS


Though he will be remembered more for his career as "The Bus" with the Pittsburgh Steelers, running back Jerome Bettis was drafted by the L.A. Rams in 1993. He ran for over 1,400 yards that year and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year. Known as The Battering Ram, he quickly established himself as a hard runner with plenty of power. He was traded to the Steelers after the 1995 season and retired after winning the 2006 Super Bowl, finishing his career as the 5th leading rusher in NFL history.
