The Countdown to Kickoff Thread

[Loyal]

Times have changed. Player movement is more prevalent and unashamed.

And…no. I will choose to hate “the man whose name I do not speak.” I can do that because it was my heart he broke.

Me to. He was my favorite Rams' player.

That autograph looks like a fake. It’s got a G at the start, not a J.

It's a J, a G would be totally different.

Who the fuck writes a capital G like that?

Who the fuck writes a capital G like that?

Well, nobody truly writes anymore cursive or old English style, it’s more a combination of printing & writing.

Everybody about 55 years ago.

Sometimes I write cursive just to see if I can after all of these years. Plus, it's sort of a crypto to confuse the young-uns because they can't read it!

Why do you think I said “writes”, not “wrote”...

They sure do struggle to read cursive, I have done that myself a few times, changed my email font to that just for fun one day and the millennials plus the generation Z crowd went crazy.

You have a very full life.

Isiah Robertson ...

This man could really play.

10th overall pick in 1971 ... Started almost immediately ... Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Six Pro Bowls in his eight seasons with the Rams. More impressive ... 4X 1st Team All Pro, and 2X 2nd Team

Back when OLBs were mostly used in pass defense, Robertson was tremendous in pass coverage. Sealed the Rams' first playoff win in more than two decades, with an interception of a Sonny Jurgensen pass returned for a touchdown in 1974.
