To be a Rams Fan...

[b]"They were growing up, they had grown up, and they did grown up things. Paid bills, avoided debt, and were always where they were supposed to be when the clock and calendar demanded.

But the Rams were a shackle and chain back to their childhood. A tie that couldn’t be broken. But it wasn’t an unpleasant shackle, or one they wanted escape from.

No one understood this, and they weren’t sure themselves. Only that the Rams mattered. It was possession. An oppression could be broken, shaken off, transferred out…but their Ramdom was a possession, it owned them, it twisted and turned them. It was an irrational thermostat that set their mood not only by wins and losses, but by trades, drafts, cuts, and free agent signings.

It was wrong, it was wrong, it was wrong…but the nectar of the club’s success was violently sweet. An opiate that flooded the bloodstreams of the soul."[/b]
