I've been through Eufaula before. It's one of the prettiest cities, I've ever been through. This video does not do it justice. It's a city of old Victorian style houses. It's pretty much on its own peninsula and is on the Georgia Alabama state line. If you are ever planning a trip to Panama City, Pensicola, Destin, etc in the FL panhandle, go through Eufaula its gorgeous.

I haven't watched this video yet but I'm assuming there are shots of young Les with exactly the same hair he has now.
He looks much bigger as a player, in the weight room, than he does today!
Might be the best thing ever happened to the Rams.
Actually, I take that back - he IS the best thing.
All we ever read (and some say), is the Rams haven't - blah blah blah - for the last 11 years.
Fuck that - the Rams are entering their 4th year, and this team is light years, repeat, light years ahead of where it was 3 years ago, in talent, in attitude, in coaching, and obviously in management, (although, since that was non-existent under the showgirl and her cronies, this may not qualify as an improvement).
Anyone that doesn't see that, and continues to focus solely on the W-L record, just doesn't get it, and are missing out on a miraculous transformation.
Damn, that felt good! :rockon:

I had a good friend in the USAF that was from Eufaula. I went home with him one weekend and we had a blast. His family was great folks. We went to a Red Canyon, I believe it was called, and that place was pretty neat.

We were joke for a long time - with no hope and it didn't seem we'd ever get better. Snead and Fisher brought respectability and competitiveness back. The Rams always compete now. That's been the turnaround in the toughest division in football - and its only going to get better too.
