Enjoying watching Sam continue to play well tonight and it made me wonder:

Do you root for former Rams once they leave (aside from when they play the Rams), are you indifferent, or do you root against them?

If the player is a decent guy, yeah I'll root for him.
Provided he doesn't play for the Axis of Evil.

It was nice seeing Sam and Jenkins give each other a good game/how you doing hug before the last play of the game.

Same as the others above. If they aren't playing the Rams, were good guys, and did not leave on bad terms I always wish them well. I'm really happy for Bradford. It's a shame the organisation totally mishandled him.

Even on teams like New England, I still wish the individual player well as long as the Rams aren't the opposition. I still like seeing Amendola put up points.

I'll be happy for guys when they have success on other teams, but I only follow guys week to week who were legends or I was a huge fan of.

Guys I kept tabs on week to week once they left:
Bruce, Holt, Jackson

Yes, always. Especially if they suffered through the dark ages (SJack, Chris Long, Danny Amendola, Torry Holt, Sam Bradford, even Ike Bruce).

I have too much respect for those guys.

Yes I almost always follow them and wish them well. I rooted for Kurt even with the Cardinals.

I remember especially following Henry Ellard with the Foreskins.

I know i'm telling my age, but the departure of Jackson was the first that broke my heart. After that, CL and JL leaving didn't mean much to me. I will only route for you if you're a stud, but i have to say i'm kind of interested in Bradford's Cinderella story with the Vikings.

Now there are some players i hope play worse after they leave. When we played the 9ers, did anyone else hope Dahl would whiff or a take a bad angle on an open-field play? When we play the Giants, i hope we go straight for Jenkins adn whoop his ass!

I don't root for them nor do I root against them unless of course they are playing the Rams. Once they no longer don the horns, I simply don't care now if they are on my fantasy team, it's a different story.

Meh, I don't root against any of them unless they are schmucks. Agree with @-X- tho. You cease to exist for me if you end up playing for .......them.

Way too many choices to actually pick one but like others I cheer for the ones I liked as long as it doesn't effect the Rams. I don't want the Patriots to win anything but if they do I'm happy for Chris Long cause out of almost anyone in the NFL that dude deserves to experience it. One of the genuinely good guys in the NFL.

I like seeing Bradford tear it up in Minnesota.

If we play him in the playoffs, well, we're going to kick his ass.

Normally, no. But I definitely rooted for Kurt Warner with both the Giants and the Cardinals.

Jenkins and Mcleod pointing at each other after they got burned, one blaming the other . Way too many times I saw that. I don't miss it. Glad they're both gone.

Usually do, Amendola, Long, Jackson, Hoomanawanui played for the Pats and I root them to meet with modest success. The hardest pill to swallow was Bruce to the Whiners though.
