After 21 years (my whole life) I am going to see the Rams play a home game!

Hey guys, sorry I have been so busy with everything and have barely been able to post articles on here or even take part in a discussion. I have been working on setting up special guests on the podcasts, working full time at my day job, ramping up the website content and yada yada. However, the reason I mainly have died down or burned out or however you want to call it is because I literally just spent about a month planning a "kind of sort of" last second trip in September to fly to Vegas and Los Angeles from Albany, NY and of course see the Rams play the Redskins week two of the NFL season. Anyway, lets cut to the chase. I will be going down to L.A. and I can't wait to see the Rams play at home, but also I am hoping to meet up with as many people as I can. I hear lot 2 is the place to be so I am planning on going there with my father. If any of you want to meet up please feel free to let me know! This is going to be special and I honestly can't wait for this. I will be going down there to promote my Downtown Rams brand and meet some of my networks I have established, but also I want to go down there to have some fun. So please let me know if you are going to the game and I will do my best to meet up with you!

Have fun! I'd like to go to a game in LA this year but it will have to be later in the season as sitting in the Coliseum with a bunch of drunks in 90 degree weather is not my idea of a good time. I went to the opener in San Fran last year, Monday night game, $150 for ticket, $50 for parking, 28-0 loss...LOL If the season starts to go sour again I'll probably do what I did the rest of last year and watch them at home.

Excellent choice of opportunity cost!

Haha thats fair enough! Thank you! I am looking forward to it. I have to start getting used to flying as I will be flying in January to cover the Senior Bowl and flying to LA will be my first time flying since I was 4.

Sounds good, man. If I end up going, I will let you know. The 'skins game is definitely one of the games I had my eye on attending.

Have fun Jake..1st Ram's home game is special, AND it's the Coliseum.

 

[TexasRam]

Jake,
You literally bust me up how driven you are and successful at such a young age, and polite. I am doing pretty well for myself now at 46 but at 21 I was a beach bump taking a few college classes on the side.

So tell us, how does someone become so laser focused at 21 years of age? Are your parents to credit or did you come out of the womb ready to kick some butt?

I have a 12 year old and am wondering how to turn him into a Jake!

Awesome! Definitely, let me know!

Thank you! I absolutely will, the Coliseum will be intense and I can't wait.

Hahaha thank you so much! Basically it's a combination of the fact I've been into sports like as soon as I was born practically and I have two loving parents that have supported me every step of the way with my decision to drop out of college and go work full time and this and now the trip to LA. Mainly one thing to know about me is while many play Madden games for the game itself, I can tell you that I honestly spend way more time with the rosters and franchise building than I do with any element in that said video game. I don't know I'm just different, while people shout at the tv and whatnot, I like to delve into game film and further dissect the play, I just think my passion has always been sports. It goes past just football. It's ridiculous how many stats I have embedded in my memory. I have certain stats like Sam Bradford's season by season stats, the 2009 Yankees team and each player's batting average. Just crazy stuff that isn't normal haha. But I am honored that you view me in that way. My biggest advice for your 12 year old is once you have something you are passionate in. Figure out a way to maximize it. I always loved sports, but until I was like 16 I always thought I could play in the MLB, I realized that wasn't the case so I started getting into Sports Management and wanting to be a GM. Unfortunately I will never be a GM in the NFL since I refuse to go to college for all the required stuff I would have to take. However, I was always good at writing and I decided to try it and I love it and now I have branched out into podcasting. I have not one regret, but the fact I wish I started sooner haha.

That's pretty cool. I've always been fanatical with sports (Rams and dodgers) as well and stats to an extent but never saw it as a field I could make money in.

Where did you pickup the skills to run your own site and what skills does it require. Assuming you learned some Php and JavaScript?

Hey guys, sorry I have been so busy with everything and have barely been able to post articles on here or even take part in a discussion. I have been working on setting up special guests on the podcasts, working full time at my day job, ramping up the website content and yada yada. However, the reason I mainly have died down or burned out or however you want to call it is because I literally just spent about a month planning a "kind of sort of" last second trip in September to fly to Vegas and Los Angeles from Albany, NY and of course see the Rams play the Redskins week two of the NFL season. Anyway, lets cut to the chase. I will be going down to L.A. and I can't wait to see the Rams play at home, but also I am hoping to meet up with as many people as I can. I hear lot 2 is the place to be so I am planning on going there with my father. If any of you want to meet up please feel free to let me know! This is going to be special and I honestly can't wait for this. I will be going down there to promote my Downtown Rams brand and meet some of my networks I have established, but also I want to go down there to have some fun. So please let me know if you are going to the game and I will do my best to meet up with you!

I'm still waiting for my opportunity to go watch the Rams - one day I'll make it!

Nice Jake, i fly into Vegas and drive up to LA for the games as well. i'm going to the home opener this year vs Indy. Already got my flight, tickets, and rooming. Can't wait, and with the suggestions of others last year when i went to the game. I park at the Metro and take that into the stadium. Also make sure you bring some cash with you on game day. The vendors outside the stadium selling the bacon wrapped hot dogs are a must have!!! Enjoy your trip i'm looking forward to mine.

Go Rams!!

It's on my bucket list to see the Rams play in the Coliseum and I've been given that chance due to the move back to LA but it just won't happen this year. Jake, you need to post this in the ROD Events section so people can sign up and y'all can plan from there. It works the best to keep all responses and contacts in one place and that works well. Hope you get a big group going and y'all have a blast!!!!!

Yeah, I wanted to go out there this year but am going to Europe instead (first time since '82).

Next year, for sure!

they are at twickers this year again

I know - and on my birthday - unfortunately business hasn't been that great this year and when the tickets went on sale I'd just lost a contract...
