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.

REMEMBERING THE FINAL GAME IN L.A.

Last month, I was interviewed by Emily Kaplan of Sports Illustrated for a story about the Rams final game in L.A. in 1994. The story is now online at The MMQB (Monday Morning Quarterback), along with a couple of my photographs, including the "cover shot" of the game program & ticket. It's an interesting read. Check it out at the link here:

MIKE LANSFORD

Mike Lansford was the kicker for the L.A. Rams for 9 seasons beginning in 1982. He was one of only a handful of kickers in NFL history who kicked barefoot. It's hard to imagine how painful that would be, but he was good at it. Not known for long field goals (over 50 yards), he was however a very clutch kicker and made several game-winning kicks in his career.
