Grass IS turf. I said nothing about it being "artificial".

And the talking heads and everyone else who want to call what the Rams are doing on offense "system", go right ahead. As long as Goff keeps slinging dimes and putting up 30 something a game and those "W's, they can call it whatever they want.

Why do people like the Greatest Show on Surf? They don't play on water or go surfing. Just cause it rhymes with turf? I'm not feeling it.

Now, someone here started "The System"
I kinda like that!

Yeah the surf is not very creative...

Weren't they were originally called the Greatest show on Earth ? but it quickly was changed by Chris Berman or someone in the NFL media to turf because of how fast they ran on the carpet inside the STL dome?

They play on grass now and the last time I checked, it's a natural part of our earth.

that is great. i went back and had a look. the first time i saw it was mentioned by @Q729 .

@rdw put up the first meme.

then social media had them popping up everywhere. i hope it sticks.

Haha i thought a few of us were talking about The System at the time. I believe it was a reference to Goff, not the team. I guess it could work though!

It's a perfect nickname for Goff. If people keep pushing it then it will stick.

From WIKI:

The term "Greatest Show on Turf" was not used to describe the Rams offense until several weeks into the 2000 season; initially the nickname for the Rams offense had been "The Warner Brothers", a play on the movie studio and a reference to new quarterback Kurt Warner, who'd assumed leadership from center after slated starter Trent Green was injured against San Diego in the preseason, and his receivers. The first appearance of the term came whenESPN's Chris Berman, preparing to cover highlights of a 57-31 win over the San Diego Chargers that year, said to television audiences, "Forget Ringling Brothers; the Rams are the Greatest Show on Earth." Over the following weeks, "Earth" was replaced with "Turf" to signify the artificial playing surface of the Trans World Dome and how it magnified and enhanced the Rams' already speedy offense. The term was retroactively applied to the 1999 team, as the offensive philosophy and key players were the same.

I really hope the System sticks as a Goff nickname. Really organic beginning and would be kind of a tongue in cheek look back at some of the early flack he was getting before he took off.
Reminds of when the Lakers brought Sasha Vujacic in. Kobe introduced himself and Sasha introduced himself to Kobe as "the machine"......gotta have self confidence.
Haha.
