All stl fans must die, la fans are the best muahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah jk. :slap!:
seriously though this subject is fucking retarded, stl fans are going to want them to stay and la fans are going to want them to come back. The reality is that it does not fucking matter what we all think when stan decides to do whatever it is he is going to do, that will be it. :beating:
We all like the Rams get the fuck over it, k ty bye.

Too funny. I did the same exact thing in Seattle. I have a T-shirt that I've had since I was in HS. Real basic. All it says is "LA Rams". Of course I then pointed to my Superbowl Championship hat and said, "ain't got one of these though do yuh?" That was at the game where we were down by 17 with 5 minutes left and came back and won it in OT.

You should have been there. My dad flew up from CA for the game and shecock fans were giving us shit all game until we started the come back. You could have heard a pin drop after we tied the game. And THAT is saying something for being in Qwest Field.

I went to three Big Red games with my dad and we got killed every game. He refused to go to any more games. Claimed he was bad luck. All I can remember about them (I was 10 & 11 years old) was how depressing the drive home was. You're so lucky to have shared that with him. :bg:
in defense of RRF and the thread there, the poster mentioned the "Bring back the Los Angeles Rams" Facebook page, and commented that the page is both "infuriating yet entertaining"
But as Psycho mentioned, alot of folks there at RRF are VERY passionate about the Rams and where they are going to end up, whether it be LA or STL, and the conversations often get heated with both sides spewing facts supporting one side or the other. At one time is was very informative for someone in my neck of the woods (I prefer they stay in STL...cheaper flights !!) but now it seems that every thread there is a combat zone, and causes alot of threads to turn into personal war of words between several posters, which is one of the reasons why I joined here. After almost 6 years there, kind of grew tired of the childish attitudes and needed some fresh air

It felt Fucking Fantastic. Like the suffering I endured through the 90's had almost been vindicated.
The same kind of satisfaction that I'm sure you felt at that game. Wow,,, I was at that game "in spirit"... watching on TV,,, but being there had to be The Shit.
Fucking shecocks. Fuck them and their 12th gay men.

I've never been to your fair city but my wife has and is really pressing on me to go back. It may be another year but I WILL get there.
And yes - short minded. I really trust her on places to go. If she wants to head back - that's all I need to hear. Combine that with my favorite team in all of sports? Fuhgetaboutit - we're heading your way whether you like it or not. :sly:

I don't have a problem with most of the STL fan base. There is one element that irritates me. Those that don't care about Rams history before '95.
When Merlin Olsen passed, the PD didn't even run a story; they used an AP byline, for God's sake. I wrote a post expressing my disgust and the bulk of the responses were, Who cares? A Rams fan cares for ALL things Rams. I hope that doesn't offend anyone.
And the media outlet that follows everything current about the Rams should also cover everything about their alumni, especially HOF members.

Man - I couldn't agree more. The history of this franchise didn't start in '95 and it is unacceptable for the media to gloss over a RAM HOFer.
Putting it back on the fan however, is not really appropriate IMO. And I realize that is not what you are doing here.
Us long term fans are not necessarily going to acknowledge the passing of Cards football greats. And by the same token, we can't just EXPECT St Louis fans to acknowledge LA Rams greats.
I put that disconnect on the former regime. They moved on from LA and there was NOTHING that they were going to do to keep that lineage. If they had their way, Deacon would be just another player.
Now in defense of the media a little bit here.... I can't recall where I heard it or read it but my understanding was that the LA Rams were not to be put in print without club approval. We all know Georgia's and de facto Shaw's reluctance to recognize anything LA Rams. They left and said fuck you. That by my understanding is one of the things so many Cards fans are sick about what Bidwell did to them. Write a story about it and you are no longer covering our team. Effing bullshit!
But this is also one of the most refreshing things about the new regime. I really think that they get it that we are all RAMS FANS. They are making a concerted effort to recognize Rams greats - no matter when they were Rams greats. As a fan - I love that. As a pragmatist, that tells me that they feel they can tap the largest market in the US to an extent by recognizing the LA audience while remaining in St Louis. Brilliant!
So while many may feel they are being used in all this, I look at it as being shrewd. The team is going to be in St Louis for the long run. Why not do the little things that make sure us old timers want to continue to support the team? Why the hell not build a history lesson for young fans based on the RAMS greats - no matter what era?
Again - this regime gets it. Let's enjoy the ride Rams fans because I get the feeling we are in for some good times ahead.
Cheers my bruthuhs.

I'm conflicted about the whole issue. For so many years I rooted against the Rams. I remember the the Big Red's best team ever losing to the Rams in the playoffs in 1975. Youngblood broke my heart that year and I doubt I'll ever completely forgive him for that interception return for a TD.
I'm cognizant and appreciative of the Rams history but I'm also cognizant and appreciate of the history of every team in the NFL. They weren't my team when Deacon played and why should I revere him anymore than any other great football player of the past? He, along with other Ram greats like Olsen are special to me only because they are special to my fellow Ram brethren. Other than that, for me the Rams only became special in 1995.
Why would anyone hate me for that? How many of you shed a tear when Larry Wilson died? Or were even aware of it?
As for not paying tribute to Merlin when he died, there is no excuse for that. We inherited the Ram history when the Rams moved to St, Louis and with that inheritance comes certain responsibilities. But as was said, it's not the fault of the St. Louis based fans, it's the fault of the Rams FO.

I'm a Calif lifelong Rams fan and it just hit me. They have been gone now something like 19 years and I still love the team. I need them back here like I need a hole in the head. I like going to the AZ-Rams game in Glendale every year. I would love them back here, but for the St. Louis fans, it would not be right for them to move. L.A. will get the expansion team in 2055, when the red tape is all sorted out with the new stadium deal and I'll be dead. Ha!
