The silly season of speculation is all we fans have in the long offseason of Pro Football so why not dare to dream?
There are 5 reasons I would enjoy watching the Rams play the Browns in SoFi that extend beyond simply wanting them to make it that far and win.
1. John Johnson and Troy Hill were integral to the rise of the Rams' defense and will always carry a special place in my heart as a fan. JJIII was an underrated leader and T Hill rose from relative obscurity through hard work and perseverance, I hated losing players like Hacksaw and The Bus to other teams but that doesn't diminish my love of what they did for the Rams when they wore the Horns.
2. Those many years of futility in Cleveland forged a fan base that died hard and often for decades. We long term Ram fans know what that feels like even though we've enjoyed several epic seasons along the way. When Mike Jones made "The Tackle", I felt more relief than elation. Those fans deserve some reward for their perseverance.
3. The Rams were born in Cleveland long before I was born but the history of our franchise deserves to be recognized and that would happen if this game occurred.
4. The matchups and storylines would be plentiful, making the number of quality articles before and after the game even more enjoyable. Donald over Garrett. Stafford and Mayfield careers contrasted. The Brown's locomotive running game v the Rams' immovable object-like defense.
5. Living in Springfield Missouri, I suffered all those years surrounded by Chiefs fans and not seeing Rams apparel in stores and many games not televised on Sundays in the third largest city of this state. I like their team but would enjoy the vindication of seeing them fall to the Browns. I suppose a Rams/Chiefs Super Bowl with the Rams winning would be a close second for me but the aforementioned reasons give the Browns my nod.
