The Win

[ramsince62]

There it was, in the middle of the field, two warriors (Bradford & Long) embracing in pure joy. You could tell by the way they met and hugged that this was something special...., a new beginning with promises of more to come....a celebration of sorts, the signaling of a new era and this win, the first of many to follow. I found the display between them meaningful on many levels, it was like instinctively they knew that this win, this lovely win was not just a singular victory but a validation that at last the Rams had transitioned from years of frustration and sadness into one of hope and a promise of better things to come.

Ah yes, it's been a long time in coming, but this Sunday was special, after all, how long had it been since this team had actually battled back from such adversity and seemingly over come even the demons of referee substitution and incompetence....and finally this little quote: . “Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.”

Good stuff man! Today I'm actually enjoying my Monday. It's been a long time since I was able to walk into work with my Rams coffee cup while feeling good about it. Happy Monday to all, and lets get ready for the Bears!

That exchange between him and Long was awesome.

Someone that's capable should make a gif of this. It was close to my favorite moment.

Yeah it's pretty apparent those two are close friends .
Watching the post game after seeing that and the way Howie could barely contain his elation I get the drift Sam has been to the Long family home and Howie is proud of his boy and his good friend
