Correct ! They are absolutely stupid as can be. Give every team we play some juvenile lame ass version of their real name. Like we are supposed to hate every team other than our favorite one.
Once in awhile, but every team we play. Dumb.
I try and call everyone by their given name. I don't call people by their nicknames if they have one. Some are derogatory so I call them whatever their mom called them.
As yes, calling Shanahan rat face all the time is also shitty. Always going with personal appearance cut downs is weak. He beat our brains in for years. We all would have gladly taken him if the Rams went that way. And he is McVays close friend, good enough for me. If he was a total POS he would not be the greatest Rams coach in history's pal. So I have to believe he is a good dude.
BTW, the 49ers actual name is much more of a cut down than the Shitters. The real 49ers were a bunch of Native murdering pieces of human garbage.
We already have a So Ram round these parts.

So....
the dumb nicknames I used one time to refer to the two the teams that are our specifically our division rivals, who I'm free to hate on all I fucking want, aren't up to par for @Londoner and others.
I need to show respect to our rivals names because if not the Rams might not take them seriously.... then its my fault. Did I get that part right???

The Redbirds are the dead birds because it rhymes and I didn't invent it nor do I care if it's cool, same with shitbirds and and the Seahawks but most importantly because I felt like using dumb and redundant names for each team.... but hey feel free to clutch pearls over how another Rams fans refers to our rivals in one post one time. Now it's a whole thing huh? Purile shit. Maybe, but its the holiday season, so why be a prick for no reason?

Shitbirds? Deadbirds?

What type of birds are the Seahawks?

Not having a go at you personally, by the way, but these puerile nicknames are fucking stupid.

Most of the time, I have no idea who they are referring to, but I figure it might be our next opponent. These names are not creative or funny. They make people who use these derogatory nicknames sound like snotty fifteen-year-olds.

I'd be embarrassed if my friends/family saw that I referred to other teams or people by these juvenile nicknames. I'm all for talking smack and that's part of the fun of being a fan but it isn't clever and makes the person seem like they have no idea about the sport, team or players.

Worst of all, I imagine classless fanbases of specific teams acting this way.

It's more about showing respect to yourself.

You're not low-IQ, but people who communicate that way, are seen as such, and no one will ever hear your clever shit-talking that can actually sting your rival after you utter crass (and many times confusing) digs.

Good grief.

If taking your online football message board conversation way too seriously is how you want to spend your time, feel free to do you as you wish but ROD isn't a school or a church and it isn't your front yard either. You moving on from posts you don't like is way easier and more effective than you telling anyone else how they should be posting.

There's enough of that kind of crap in the real world, please leave it there..

Who’s being a prick?

I just said that I find these nicknames childish. If you want to disagree, fine.

But I haven’t insulted anyone or called anyone names, so I think that calling me a prick is uncalled for.

Enough guys. State your opinions on other’s behavior if you must, and move on. Talk football.

Or PM a moderator about board concerns. We read everything.

What Cardinals fans are saying…

We will get crushed….

No pressure on KM now so he will probably light it up next two games.

Gotta say, not sure I'm even interested in watching, I mean if we lose who cares and if we win.... who cares lol

we have to wait all day to get our ass kicked tomorrow - it'll be getting dark by the time it starts getting dark

Oh, we gonna get BEAT beat. They have not forgotten this home game. It's been circled on their calendar and they will not let up. Take the over on points, as it will be the rams covering by themselves.
Arizona is expected to play Jackson Barton at right tackle and Kelvin Beachum at left tackle.
We won the first game 41-10. Much has changed since then. The score could be inversed. We have lost 4 of the last five, and the Rams have won 4 in a row. It's hard to believe they are in the middle of the playoff scenario after starting 1-4.

Anyone thinking upset?

And finally even more…
Come on redbirds let's seed what we can do..slam the clams... bloat the goats....yeet the sheep.....

Fuggit I got mutton
I foresee a 41-10 payback ass whooping on national tv. McVay wants his pound of flesh Saturday night. What was NBC thinking
It's on NFL Network, so not quite as embarrassing
I suggest keeping children away from the television for this one.
This one screams beat down.

Am I reading this correctly? So, even though I plopped down my $300ish bucks for Direct Ticket I still don't get a game that was flexed into "prime time"?! Sounds like the Christmas Day FU the NFL sent fans by limiting games to Netflix. Greedy bastards!!

I hope the zona fanbase is right and the Rams finally blow somebody out.
…but the Rams never make it easy, do they?
No, I’m expecting a tight game unless Stafford comes out sharp and makes zona pay on play action.
