I really liked the Oakland Raiders, but started paying more attention to the Rams in 1977 because I thought they had a great defense. They always seemed to force turnovers.

Rod Perry, Monte Jackson, and Pat Thomas were good cornerbacks, and Bill Simpson and Dave Elmendorf were the safeties.

I officially gave my full allegiance to the Rams in 1978. I've also been a big fan of defensive football ever since then too.

I'm probably the only person in America who felt like last year's Super Bowl was one of the worst ever.
