Pittsburgh 79 Super Bowl was before my time, sorry. I was 3 years old and into peeing my pants, not football.
I began liking the Rams in 1984, Eric Dickerson had 2105 yards and they lost to Chicago in the NFC Championship game in 1985.
Flipper Anderson had 330 yards in that game, I remember. I loved Henry Ellard and Flipper. But I remember Everett against the Giants hitting Flipper in stride to win a playoff game on the opening play of overtime. They lost 31-3 the next week against San Fran.
Everett, of course, got the nickname Chris Evert from the sports radio guy Jim Rome because he was such a pussy. Everett would sack himself if there was any pressure later in his career. He always threw off the back of his foot because he got so gun shy.
Greg Bell is Greg Fum-Bell.
Of course the best memory is 1999!!!! My favorite player of all-time, Isaac Bruce, caught the game winning ball in the most entertaining super bowl ever. Bruce is the last LA Ram.
John Robinson only ran the ball until oblivion. Chuck Knox... Rich Brooks who was the coach of my Mighty Ducks of Oregon my freshman year, and later became the coach of my favorite NFL team. I never, ever understood that one, Brooks was not a great college coach.
Anyway, I digress and not many people want to hear about my favorite team. But my dad was a Rams fan and passed his love down to me. I have my small Dickerson jersey still from when I was a little boy.
