Thank you Thank you Thank you.
MY most vivid memory of a game in the year I got hooked on the Rams for life. And with my memory this is the game that closed the deal.
And on my birthday today! .
Happy Belated Birthday and you and I share becoming a Ram fan the same year. That game was nationally televised and I still recall yelling at the TV being 7 years old then cover Stowe (WR Otto Stowe) who Eddie McMillan could not cover and my parents were entertaining my Aunt and her husband back then. My Aunt, who was a teacher told my parents not to worry, I would find another passion, I told her back then..."Doubtful."
Anyway the irony is my Aunt's second marriage is a very passionate sport fan and a Cleveland Brown fan at that, in fact, they go to Cleveland several times a year to watch the Browns with my Aunt being just as an avid fan as her husband and she has some depth about the team too, but she's a smart woman, just had to find a passion.
I'm sure some remember back then, that some people thought we were too passionate about the game or sports in general, there were people who thought that way, sports being a waste of time. My son was very much into video games and many scoffed and felt that was not a good thing, I always stood by my son and informed them, if he likes it, leave him alone...Today my son is a Software Engineer. If you enjoy something, it's okay as long as it does not consume you to a point, where other things go undone.
