But lemme' begin by saying I hate the Niners.... that's fact.
However, I never saw the big rivalry with the Niners that others did. First... I don't live in LA or SF or close to either.. so I have no affiliation with the 'geographic' rivalry... that meant nothing to me.
Now late things have changed somewhat... but for most of my Ram fan years the Rams and Niners played VERY few meaningful game, true 'do or die' games I mean. Mostly either the Rams were up and the Niners were down or vice versa.
funny to me that you sat that James. I remember the Rams handling the Niners regularly back in the day. they never bothered me. why i throw them in the hate bucket is largely 2nd hand. i drifted off of football in the mid-late 80's for basketball. i did not witness 1st hand the 9ers beating the rams for however many straight games that coined the phrase "same old sorry ass rams". only heard about it afterwards and it pissed me off. today they are a worthy rival so i think they belong in the permanent hate bucket.
