Outside of Rams fans in the USA and the well to do in that town in China who is going to mark this date on their calendar? This is miles away from a global opportunity. You are in marketing if I recall.......you know this.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Look at MLB and the NBA. Nobody in Japan gave a crap about MLB until some players from Japan came to the USA to play. The NBA is popular in nations where players on the court are from. International marketing, just like local and national marketing, starts with "stars".by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Fisher signed off on the hire, and may have even made the final decision, but the performance of the two will always be judged independently and that's the smart way to do it IMO. Snead is intelligent and skilled as a GM it would appear. Maybe he's been lucky a few times, some guys have careers that start well and fizzle out. But IMO he may be eventually drawing some comparisons to Ozzie Newsoby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
There were a couple of down years, and keep in mind the NBA set attendance records......check out this link: NBA LINK From the article..... The NBA set an attendance record for the second consecutive season. Fans totaling 21,972,129 attended games, passing last season’s mark of 21,926,548. The NBA also set a record for sellouts (723) and per-game attendance (17,864) and equaled last seasby LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
You did not see 4 and 5 steps!!!!! Admit I am right and lets talk HOOPS!!!!!by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
I don't care how you do it, but please just do it!!!!! :spintoungeby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Unless he is a "good deal" I'd let him go to sign the "A List" players. But I'm not optimistic about anything when it comes to free agency in this new CBA era.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Westbrook to the Cavs for Irving and their first rounder. I don't buy it at all however. I don't know where it came from but I don't see it playing out.by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
And with Kroenke as owner I have my doubts.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
RamRock......remember OH? He'll know it doesn't mean Ohio!by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
No idea where he will go but I bet he wants to go somewhere..........Spurs maybe?by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
I didn't even know it was possible to do that without causing major injury. Mebbe you have to work up to it LOL. Needless to say RamRock, whom we all love (and miss) dearly, got ribbed about it for years.by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
Well actually two. He had good to fantastic QB's and good to fantastic RB's at his disposal. That helped an awful lot. Imagine if he had a scrub at backup when Green went down.........things would have been very different.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Not Theresa but pretty effing strong!!!by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Not everyone will automatically love LA. Plus for a lot of guys it's the money and that's all. So if a bigger offer comes along, especially in a state with no local and state taxes they will bolt. The rookie cap is making more guys go after the big second contract, I don't like it, but it's the truth.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
They haven't drafted as well as they did, or at least the hit rate seems lower because there are no new stars other than the RB. 11-3 12-4 10-6 Hmmmmmm...............possibly a slow decline like the Bucs saw in their heyday..........of having a QB that has developed into a good one will help A LOT, but when you lose a lot of support it makes it harder to win and I think that's what's goiby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Their career finales being similar that there was no passing.......by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
It was one or two of the knuckleheads on ESPN......... It means nothing really if he isn't on the field as a starter for the early portion of the season. If he is getting mop up duty but Fisher isn't having him start I don't see a big deal.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Seeing all these old posts from way back........great fun!!!by LesBaker - The RamsFootballFans.com Tailgate Party

He posted with the title The Original Hottie He was intending to post a pic of Heather Locklear if I recall. The pic somehow got changed up with the famous pic called Goatse. Hilarity ensued..........after we were all done vomiting.by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
First come first served!!! :beer2by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
There are a few of us around who saw it........did you?by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
The NBA we have seen the last several years has been really good and you're missing out!!! Get back in front of the TV? Did you see any of the payoffs in the past few years?by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
The mega contracts are because of the cap flying through the rook. Imagine if the NFL cap went from 155MIL to 220MIL over the course of two years.We'd see the same crazy deals. They have to spend the money or they get penalized. I kind of agree with you about superstars going where they want, but it doesn't always work out the way it seem like it will. Super teams have failed as often as theyby LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
If there was one thread that I wish could have been saved it would have been that one...... Second would be RamRock's Original Hottie thread...........by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
They had the serial numbers from all the money he was given. None of it except for the small amount found years later in dredged mud has ever turned up. IMO that tell me his carcass and the money rotted away in some remote part of the forest. Or he was eaten by animals. Or something. I dunno.by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
