Hello All, I'm Chuck. Originally from NJ. Been in Phoenix for over 30 years. My Ram fandom started when I was 10 years old or so. I knew nothing about football. But another kid was looking for someone to bet on the Rams in a Rams/Packer game. I took the bet, won a quarter, and have been a devoted fan ever since. I love the sport and have watched virtually every game for the past 20 years or so. Most of that time, the franchise was in disarray. Of course, I want to see them competitive and even title contenders. But I watch anyway, and have become fascinated in the story of the franchise and the players, no matter what happens in the games. I believe we have a solid ownership/management/coaching team and a much improved, dynamic, talented, young roster that has great things just ahead of them. I look forward to a positive experience on this site. I have become completely fed up with the tone of the forum talk on the Post-Dispatch site. The ignorance, arrogance, egotism and negativity of some of the posters there are breathtaking. It is amazing to me how many people now live in a virtual reality, fantasy football world, that has nothing to do with the reality of incredibly athletic human men trying to impose their will upon each other on a real-life field of play. Go Rams! 2014 looks like it is going to be very exciting.
