Candid Sports Welcome to Los Angeles. Memorial Stadium…Home of
the Rams.
Who is the only National Football League Franchise to win three
Championships in three different cities?
Yes the Rams… like most people that
live in LA, they started out in the Midwest,
but got out of there.
But also like most people when they got to LA,things didn’t go well
at first
Until the Fearsome Foursome showed up.
And him.
And Merlin Olson… from Little House on the
Prarrie.
And Jack Youngblood… from this horrible
TV movie.
When these legends of Hollywood weren’t
on the big screen… they were demolishing
opposing offenses…
Which got the Rams here…where they did what everyone
did in the 70’s… lose to the Steelers in the Super Bowl
After the Fearsome Foursome left… and Jack Youngblood
retired…
Enter Eric Dickerson… just about the only
highlight from the Rams during that time.
But the team couldn’t work out a long-term deal
with him…so he left for Indianapolis…
Oh… here is another highlight.
What do most people do when they achieve middle
of the road success in Hollywood?
They return to the mid-west… and believe
they are better than everyone around them…
because they use to live in California.
And the Rams were better!
The Greatest Show on Turf emerged.. led by Kurt Warner…Who
went from Arena League quarterback… to National Football League
Hall of Famer…
And of course Marshall Faulk… rushing for
a 1,000 yards in a season… no problem..
receiving for a 1,000 yards in that same season..No
problem.
Marshall was actually drafted by the Colts…
who couldn’t work out a long term deal with
him… so looks like the teams are even with the
whole Eric Dickerson thing..
And finally delivering a Super Bowl to the Rams
But just when it looked like a dynasty was
being born…
Well… there was…just not in St. Louis….
And then the Rams  pretty much went away again after that…
What do you do… when you started out in the
mid-west… went to L.A. to chase your dreams…
didn’t quite succeed… returned to the
Midwest… enjoyed success, but started struggling
again?
Move back to L.A.
Now the Rams in L.A., and back in a big way..
led by third year quarterback Jared Goff..
And Marshall Faulk 2.0 in Todd Gurley.
And with these additions… seriously…
No ensemble movie has anything on this cast.
So enjoy L.A., and even if you aren’t going
to the game… your in Hollywood.
And enjoy the game, and watch football the
way it was meant to be watched… with a coach
who is younger than your high school football
coach… and looks younger than you did in
high school.
Go Rams!
