Note: These questions will change almost daily. I will unsticky them as soon as I post the answer.

OK so here is the deal. Years ago I found an LA Rams Trivia Game in a Goodwill. I pretty much bought it as a piece of memorabilia. Now with the Rams moving back, I thought it might make for a fun game for some of us old timers. Odd thing is that about 70% of the questions have nothing to do with the Rams.

So here is what I will do. I will post the questions that are Rams related and let you guys answer. I will then post the answers the next day. These are not easy questions as far as I can tell but maybe the memory function of my brain has been compromised.

There is only basically one rule. No search engines or internet sites to look up answers that you will post later. I realize some will still look up the answers. I know I would if I didn't have the cards. But I want to see how many out there actually know the answers. So if you do feel like looking them up on the internet, just don't post the answers. Comment all you want.

Now - keep in mind. I said the internet is off limits. But if you have books, magazines, football cards, etc... feel free to use them. That may seem hypocritical but it's about time some of us got some use out of all that stuff we've bought over the years.

Cheers.

Five for 1 swap and a great trade for the L.A. Rams.

Ha! I put that one in there just because it was so obvious.

And yet - not. :cool:

Too obvious a hint?

Nah. This is more like bowling. No matter how many gutter balls you toss, another ball pops up and away you go.

Unless you lived through it, granted I was only 7, but I was shocked when it happened and really did not understand what draft choices could amount to. On top of that, this player demanded the trade something people don't usually bring up.

The player demanded the trade? Didn't know that. Wow. If I got the question right, it's shocking. I remember having a lot of fun in those days, at least that's what they tell me!

So the answer was NOT Ron Ja-shutthehellup-ski. Roman Gabriel was traded to the Iggles when the Rams brought in ProBowl QB John Hadl. Interestingly, both QBs would have Probowl seasons in their first with their respective new teams.

And this information from Den:
Something you might want to add in the thread...Roman Gabriel demanding the trade because he did not want to share the job with John Hadl who the Rams just acquired. Gabriel missed some games in 1972 and the Rams did not have a good back-up and had to make a trade for Pete Beathard who was not very good.

Rosenbloom and Klosterman wanted to ensure the Rams had two QB's in 73, but Gabriel wanted no part of it so they dealt him to the Eagles for Harold Jackson, Tony Baker and two first round choices (74 & 75) and a third round pick in 75 too.
