Rams43
Once upon a time the sports fans in Los Angeles were treated to the daily writings of some amazing sports writers.
Mel Durslag
Doug Krikorian
Allan Malamud
And Jim Murray, the greatest of them all.
And one could buy a copy of either the LA Times or the Herald Examiner to read these guys every day from a vending machine for 10 cents!
All due respect to today’s crop of sports writers that cover the Rams, but the above named were giants.
Ahh, those were the days...
I'm old enough to appreciate those names .
Krickorian not only commented on Rams on field performance but was able to compare his speed off field vs a famous Ram OLB #58 lol.
Great era of reporting and report ers .
Never will be duplicated for because don't have the Herald Examiner vs the Times anymore.
The Great Czarneki as I remember him from "the National" isn't writing anymore either.
I think he's with Fox Network or the NFL Network behind the scenes.
I'm thankful even more for this board just thinking about the other sources we've lost.
