While my Dad, my Brother and me put up our Christmas tree, we watched the Rams beat Dallas 14 to 12 in the playoffs. My only clear memory of the game was a Haden TD run, the Rams making a big 4th down stop very late and the Rams punter taking a safety as time expired. Early in the game, I asked my Dad if the Rams could win (Even then I did not like Dallas) He said it'd be tough in Dallas. My Brother commented on how cool the Rams jerseys looked. Looking up to my 6 year older Brother, I agreed. I was 9 at the time. We were actually all Dolphins fans in those days but I liked the idea of having MY team. My Dad took note and a few days later, I had my first Sears Catalog Rams shirt. I lost my Brother in May 2011 and my Dad in Aug 2013 so it's a very special memory.
