I'm visiting my parents for the holidays (no, no big gatherings, and I quarantined/got tested!) and they didn't get Sunday Ticket this year, so I've been stuck with streaming most games.
Which is par for the course for me because my current apartment doesn't have AT&T, and while my landlord will let me get AT&T, I have to pay an extra $150 on the following month's rent for "changing providers" on top of paying AT&T, and I'm not paying that much just to watch football. HD streams do me just fine.
And look, I know the Rams didn't play that well last year, but I've been really disappointed with the scheduling coverage of Rams games this year.
Last year, I was able to watch more Rams games than I ever have without Sunday Ticket.
Guess that's what a Super Bowl trip will earn you.
And I'm not big on bashing the media, but the Rams get no respect. Midwest or West Coast, (Cue Rodney Dangerfield). Maybe it's the veritable carousel the Rams franchise has been on with the moves.
Meanwhile, teams like the Pats and Cowboys get disproportionate media coverage regardless of how terrible they are.
The Rams have been a consistent winner since McVay came aboard. They deserve better and broader TV coverage.
But it also seems like a not-so-inside joke that Rams fans are like spotting a unicorn. Just go look at YouTube lol.
My anecdotal evidence is that this is true. I live in Chiefs country, so they make up roughly 80% of the apparel I see people wearing. But hardly
ever Rams stuff. Your usual Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Denver and even the Raiders. Occasionally some Bears stuff.
And rarely are discussions I hear or partake in about the Rams. I either bring them up or someone notices the Rams apparel I'm sporting. It's like people just forget the Rams exist.
They just ain't popular. <shrug>
Kinda got off topic with this lol. I am stoked to see them in HDR 4K on my 55" TV. TCL is an underrated brand, folks! And way cheaper than similar models like Samsung, Sony, or Vizio.
