Strange, But True Facts

[Karate61]

Can anyone come up with any strange but true Rams observations. I noticed one, so I'll go first:

Both Rams Super Bowl victories, the Rams scored 23. Not easy to score 23, but the Rams did in both SB wins. Strange, but true!

Super Bowl XXXIV
Rams 23
Titans 16

Super Bowl LVI
Rams 23
Bengals 20

Donald
Whit
Stafford
V Miller
Kupp (over half way there, 3-4 more positive years)
J Hekker (strong possibility)
Ramsey (over half way there)
Weddle (these playoff games cemented his ticket IMO)
McVay punched his ticket with this win at 36

In the week leading up to the game, I told quite a few people that the Bengals this year reminded me of the ‘79 Rams. Happy to be in the SB, undermanned, but will probably be leading in the 4th but we’ll win in the end.

Well, I never expected to even have their 1st TD be a pass from their RB just like McCutcheon.

So that to me seemed very odd statistically.

Found another one. Only non-player ever to be hit with a personal foul penalty. You just can't make this stuff up. The guy is not a player in this game, but gets a penalty.

That reminds me.

We have a "Dumbass Of The Day" thread we need to resurrect.

I think he had this planned from the start of the game. Just wanted his 15 minutes..oops 15 yard penalty of fame.

I wonder if Whit is the first player to start his career with one team, and then play his last game against the team he started with, as a Superbowl Winner of course

Now we need to find the “23” connection. Why 23 in our wins?

The 1951 Rams World Championship Banner is where?

The "World Championship" banner awarded to the Rams was given as a gift to Tom Bergin after the game in gratitude for hosting the post-game dinner. As of 2016 it still hangs in the Tom Bergin's Irish pub in Los Angeles, the only one in private ownership. Area code phone number for the Pub: 323

ESPN be like…

Andrew Whitworth is the first player in the modern era to play 11 seasons with 1 team, 5 with another, become the oldest player in the nfl in week 21 and win the Super Bowl.

I thought about that the other day!

Here's a real mind bender....

My Pops went to the '51 Championship victory, game was won on a 73yd strike to Tom Fears, After Cle ties the game 17-17
I went to the '99 Super Bowl and the game was also won on a .........73yd strike to Isaac Bruce. After Tenn ties the game 16-16

'51 - Rams- 24
Browns - 17

'99 - Rams - 23
Titans - 16

2022-1999= 23

Wouldn't it have to be 2021-1999 or 2022-2000?
Edit: Nah. The start of the last SB winning season to the end of the latest. Carry on!
