And may do just that... but Troy and I are thinking... "Opening Day At The Coliseum"... big 'doings'.... might be for for his kids, and my grandkids, to go in a Limo, (it's not that much money). :laughing We, Troy and I, were just recently laughing at that possibility... we got our tickets already because they are going fast... NOT good seats, very poor most likely. So we were pictby JamesJM - The RamsFootballFans.com Tailgate Party

is as we knew many would be, and now are. His heart was ripped out. Or at least that's the impression I get. So many friends I made in St. Louis and it seems I'm reminded daily of the pain and scars that will not heal, or at least not 'soon'. Moving a team is just a terrible thing for fans, terrible. - JamesJMby JamesJM - The RamsFootballFans.com Tailgate Party

Where I part company with the Fisher nay-sayers.... - 8 years ago
I'm not in the Fisher 'can't camp... I'm in the Fisher 'won't' camp. Lot of reasons for my opinion but not for this reply, most I've mentioned previously, maybe all. When Fisher is confident, has his Linus blanket snuggly wrapped around him, he can, and will, win big games. And while I do not think he's much helping his players in preparation to reach that level when Fisher's has his blanketby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Hmmm, think you're missing my point... - 8 years ago
So then calling out the play at the LOS so both O and D can hear it is just a 'preference'? And as such equates to any other 'preference'? Being 'diverse' doesn't mean changing up everything every week. It means having a full range of game plans utilized in selective manner to both attack and counter different teams incorporating various tactics including 'surprise'. The same tactic may worby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I think I've worked it out... - 8 years ago
Ramsrule and I will both be in Anaheim the night before, staying there. We're thinking about hiring transportation to the game, and then back again. Yeah, quite a bit more expense but the advantage, for me, are big. I was NOT looking forward to driving to the Coliseum and finding parking, especially on opening day. Not Ramsrule... but I'm thinking of taking my grandson's to Knott's on Satby JamesJM - The RamsFootballFans.com Tailgate Party
Which brings up... - 8 years ago
but first, funny stuff. being 'afraid of the dark'. I think that applies to everyone, does it not? But where, when, and to what degree varies a great deal. A dark alley in a city would scare me. Being alone in the wilderness at night is less scary to me than being in my living room at night. It's not the 'dark' to me but where and how I perceive 'threats'.

Hmmm, think you're missing my point... - 8 years ago
Flinging the ball around EVERY game is no more 'surprising' than ground Chucking it. An 'unknown' however can give you an added weapon, for a time. Point is: Diversity, and the willingness to coach it and then use it... and not at predictable times, I believe to be a must in today's game. Fisher running the Statue of Liberty twice a year doesn't qualify. Which brings up... every person hby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Defense can be equally boring... - 8 years ago
For me, and skipping past the unanswerable "what makes a game boring" thing... if you're bored, you're bored. As for Goff. Ok, you're the HC for the "Portobellos" and starting the practice week for next weekend's game with the Rams. Goff is a rook. Fisher is the coach. So you put in your game D game plan, defensively. You practice it all week. Now it's game day:by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

LOL... - 8 years ago
It's getting harder. Recently I told Elijah I might miss his birthday this year because I may be in England. I told him not to worry, he could have two birthday parties and I'd be at the one not on his real birthday. Got a call from him that night... he sent me a "Lego" kit photo and told me that was what he wanted for his birthday, but not for his real birthday, for the 2nd birthdby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
No more Spiderman Pole.... - 8 years ago
My youngest grandson made the move. Not without some regrets, and near tears... but I convinced him that he was too good to use a child's fishing pole... time to upgrade from his "Spiderman" rod and reel to a full size fishing rod and reel. I was very proud of him. Tough decision to make, he showed maturity. Also, Spiderman is now MINE.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

I like when you mention HIgbee - 8 years ago
as I mentioned, I know nothing about him so reading your assessments fires me up. :thumbsup I'm not as worried about 'Tree' at MLB as most, not even really close to as worried. Sure, I recognize that it's a significant change for him but from what I've seen he has plenty of physical talent to pull it off. His health worries me considerably more than his physical ability to play the positionby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I heard the opposite... - 8 years ago
In the interest of parity the Ram's have petitioned the league to be allowed one extra player on the field... to give them a chance. Well, actually they petitioned for two extra players but as I heard it that was simply because after arbitration they would at least be allowed one extra. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I was there in, I think 2008? - 8 years ago
drove the Blue Ridge and hiked a few trails but not on the Appalachian. Unfortunately, well not really, it was winter time. Late winter. It was still beautiful, but I would have preferred the lush green season. I was also there in 1969, during the green season, and remember it well, but did no hiking at that time. The trail itself I have crossed many times... motorcycles trips twice and inby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
The towing thing is BIG... - 8 years ago
and I've thought long and hard about it. I have my boat in a slip at Millerton lake so I don't really need to tow it all that often... and probably couldn't anyway... it's long. Behind an RV I'd be a two trailer semi. :) I also have a large ATV, however, and it would be nice to bring that along.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Mannion, Mannion... oh YEAH... is he still a Ram? - 8 years ago
:imsorry Mannion intrigues me as much as any other Ram, in wondering what his potential is. I have no firm belief in Mannion making it, haven't seen him enough, but occasionally a player will stand out to me, even when very raw, and more times than not I'm right about seeing something special... and I think I saw a bit of that in Mannion. My guess is Goff becomes the starter, somewhat soby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
ZN, from the Herd Board and hiking... - 8 years ago
Caribou Mountain, is that on the Appalachian Trail? I have hiked... ummmmm, 3 hikes on sections of the Appalachian trail... very SHORT sections. Maybe 20-25 miles all three hikes combined and only one an 'over-nighter'. None of them I would consider in the true 'wilderness' areas of the trail. So I know very little about the trail except what I've read... but the photos, if you google it,by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

IP 3, the movie... my review... - 8 years ago
I will begin by saying - if you saw this movie and liked it stop reading RIGHT NOW. You won't like this. This movie is BAD... horrible, pitiful, it's not even a movie... the money spent making this movie could have gone to something worth something... like drugs, or alcohol, but instead it was used to make this movie which will make you physically ill. Acting - Horrible Plot - Horrible.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
How is this going to work? - 8 years ago
Do you think they're going to have parking places with shuttles to and from the Coliseum? Mostly likely I'll be spending the night in Anaheim on Sept. 17th... I doubt there are any shuttles THAT far, but it would be nice if there were places somewhat close with shuttle service... the traffic around the Coliseum will be horrible. - JamesJMby JamesJM - The RamsFootballFans.com Tailgate Party
We kind of agree on the RV thing... - 8 years ago
I had an RV once. Today I'm thinking 'travel trailer'... basically the same thing. But my use is more in line with your intention to take it to a Ram's game. In my case baseball tournaments, cheerleader tournaments, etc. Not 'camping', per se... ALTHOUGH, yes, I would take it camping because my family would insist on it... I will sleep outside. :spintounge "Fully Stocked", to me,by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
You think YOU are tired of it.... - 8 years ago
I DETEST thinking anything less than the playoffs no matter what state the team is in... rebuilding or not. The playoffs are the goal, EVERY YEAR.... and for over a decade it's a constant barrage of "be patient, it's coming"... because 'it takes time'. The admonition because 'that's reality'... but 'reality' is several teams overhaul overnight and make the big show. Much less takingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I haven't bought into this theory yet... - 8 years ago
but it worries me. I don't think the evidence is there to jump to the conclusion that 'world marketing' is his primary goal and NOT providing a quality product... mainly because they are one and the same. Steelers, Cowboys, Niners, Patriots.. are NOT where they are in popularity by losing consistently since their franchises began. They all have winning histories. There is no chance thaby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Until then... - 8 years ago
I wish to hell the officials would vehemently enforce the 'leading with the helmet rule', (they do not), and coaches caught coaching it suspended. I posted not long ago that in High School, (not related to your article but none the less), it's illegal to lead with your helmet and yet I see it every game, several times, and NO exceptions. And flags thrown when it happens are excruciatingly rby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
RIP Garry Marshall - 8 years ago
Not only a great write but the man could act as well. Small roles, but he made the most of them. I loved his scene as the casino manager in Lost In America.... he stole the scene. Darn good job in "A League Of Their Own" as well, as Walter Harvey. Personally I think his writing, though great in every production he wrote, was most notable in "The Dick Van Dyke" show.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Hey Rampage, GreatRam, et all, camp reports this year? - 8 years ago
We're a week away? Can we expect any camp reports this year? Camp reports are one of my favorites reads on this board. I've always been impressed by those who report and the depth they go into.. VERY impressed. Vets, Rook's, 3rd stringers... all get noticed and reported on. I find them to be very accurate, as well. New days in LA so I'm VERY much hoping this tradition continues...

No doubt Fisher is addressing the issue..... - 8 years ago
But for Fisher and Co. to fully open up the passing game they're going to have see tangible results on the field... it all revolves around Keenum/Goff. Lot of people do not agree with me here but I don't think Fisher puts in anything until he feels they have it down pat and then waits a half season or so just to make sure. Not on a regular basis anyway.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
