Do you have any opinions regarding the Rams that might be a bit controversial?

Here are 3 of mine:

1. Though ultimately not the most successful, the most talented Rams team ever was the 2001 squad.

2. Eric Dickerson’s status as an all-time Rams great is tainted by his fumbling problems and his exit (which, the team’s role aside, he handled horribly).

3. Kurt Warner, despite a carefully cultivated image, has a pretty big ego and is not so selfless.

What are your controversial takes?

We would have kicked NE's ass if not for the cheating

Brady did jack shit the entire game and that was a fucking intentional grounding on that last drive

Fucking bears defensive player who took a cheap shot on Bradford
Panthers player, Mike Mitchell - fuck that guy. Stood over him and flexed after tackling him out of bounds. No flag as it was Vinovitch's crew, so no surprise there.

The 1st season-ending knee injury was against the Panthers. Mike Mitchell, an average safety, with a reputation for playing close-to-the-line hit Bradford as he was running out-of-bounds. It was a borderline dirty-play. I thought it was completely unnecessary.

Analyst Brian Billick ... the perfect example of an ex-player / ex-coach simply going through the motions as an analyst ... insisted it was not serious and suggested it was a hamstring injury. I am sitting in front of my TV, shaking my head thinking ... that's the knee and my Rams are in deep trouble ... AND, I will never again listen to or speak well of Brian "Fucking" Billick.

Billick was #1 on my Shit List for several years before Michael "Stupid Fat Fuck" Lombardi came along.

Everyone knows we were robbed in SB XXXVI. But we were also cheated in LIII. AD was being held all game- nothing given. As soon as we had any decent offensive plays, we were flagged.

So we should have two more titles and the Cheatriots two fewer.

Marshall Faulk should be remembered as the greatest running back in history if he didn't play on the two worst surfaces during his career in Indianapolis and St Louis.

Who knows how his career would have turned out had he not played on those turfs and suffered knee injuries throughout his career.

My bad - for some reason I thought it was the bears player

I think the greatest Rams team was the 2000 squad the year after our Super Bowl victory. First 6 games the Rams were on a historic offensive pace under new head coach Martz, then, Warner broke is thumb against I believe the Chefs. I remember the first game on Monday night when the Rams torched the Broncos and Dennis Miller was calling Holt and Az-Hakim Romulus and Remus. It was amazing.

That scank woman had her "husband" / Ram owner killed in South Beach once she knew he had changed his will making her the person who would inherent the team. He did not drown in the calm ocean on the beach that day. The waves on South Beach are basically nothing. Nobody is surfing on South Beach... much less drowning.
