Well I was born in 91' so by the time i was big on football it was the late 90's or early 2000's so I got all my Rams news from ESPN.

 

[Prime Time]

I'm surprised the Mexican guy didn't have an unfortunate accident!

Nah, he was actually pretty funny.

Rams vs. 49ers:

During the 60's: Rams(10 wins, 9 losses with 1 tie)

Ah Yes! That wonderful Atlanta game, too bad we didn't feel like running up the score on them! Or it would have been worse than 59-0!! You either loved Howard or hated him! On this day Rams Fans Loved him!!:mrburnsevil:

I used to love watching Howard and Dandy Don. They would get pretty messed up some weeks.

Sports Illustrated was junk for Rams.

Rampages, used to wait for the mailman every Thursday lol

I used to get that subscription as a Xmas gift...

 

[Rmfnlt]

Growing up in Boston the only reliable news I could get was from the Sporting News. Every NFL team was covered in the last section. I would wait for every Thursday to get my paragraph of Rams news!! Thank you internet!!

Same thing growing up in NJ.

Sporting News and that show that NFL Films put on every week... never missed those!

I was putting the Christmas lights up today and what did I find in the bottom of the box?! I knew I had them somewhere. I'm going to have to give them a read for old-times sake.

 

[Ramstien]

I seems to recall a national weekly paper type publication known as Rampages.I'm talking late 60's early 70"s. Along with the Herald and the Times. A writer named Bob Oates comes to mind as well as Melvin Durslag. Jim Murray delivered the funny side of the story occasionally too.

Me too.

 

[TK42-RAM]

Bump. I just found some of my old NFL magazines that I thought I had thrown out. 1992.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

The Sporting News and I also paid for USA Today for the little snippets that they had on each team.

It was pathetic.

Yup. Same here....that TJ Simers guy was a sour-puss.

Lived in NYC for many years, and from the mid 80s to early 90s, had the Orange Count Register delivered to my office. Yes, the news was a week or two late, but soaked up every inch of coverage. Couple Laker fans would stop by my office to read up on the awesome Magic-lead Lakers.

 

[bubbaramfan]

Melvin Durslag was the main Rams reporter for the Herald Examiner on the Rams for almost 50 years. He died at 95 in 2016.

Amazing...Being in Dayton, Ohio from 84-92 I would go to the Base Library (Wright-Patterson AFB) to read the LA Times and the Campus Library (University of Dayton) to read the Orange County Register. I still recall one day at the campus library waking in with a Dodger hat, Ram Shirt, Laker shorts and King wrist bands and the young Librarian shaking her head at me....We dated for six months, could never resist the studious look with glasses.

Yep, you’d have to look at the back page in sports section under “ transactions” to get the goods.

Back in the mid-70s as a young teenager they had these magazines on newspaper stock that were like $1.25.

I would save up my allowance and grab one when it came out.

They were so inaccurate in comparison to today's detailed magazines but I was in heaven when I had that thing in my hot little hands.
And I still am!
Living on the East Coast it was not like I could pick up the LA Times.
