I almost made a post saying that I HATED Colt 45, as did everyone, but that the video made me want one.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Whatever pulls your chain, Den.... there is no 'right or wrong' here. Man have I ever learned THAT lesson since finding online fandom. :laughing My preferences are born of personal circumstance. Since the Internet I have learned many other differing opinions, equally valid.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
we all have our 'youth' and what that means. I'm no exception... ALTHOUGH.. as I have posted... As a B&W kinda guy the Rams did NOT wear B&W the first... ohhhh, 10 years I rooted for them? The B&W's were actually, someone correct me if I'm wrong here....in existence for only a very FEW years of Ram's history. My preference isn't based on 'memory' or 'nostalgia'. Someone hby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
gonna post this video again... with more information. The two defenders you see in this video are committed... DIV 1 Schools. The receiver... my grandson. NOT committed.. but not without offers... although not Div I. Looks like he'll be attending Reedley J.C... which is fine with me. Again... for WR's Mason, my grandson, was the leading receiver in the game.. NOT the leading receiver.. wby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

If you're good, truly good... you do it here, in mini-camp, and there... training camp.. and then again THERE... the season. I HATE the "it's just mini-camp" crap. It's non-sensical.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but for the life me I cannot 'get' anyone who thinks these B&W's are not gorgeous.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
don't even THINK it. I'm not kidding here.. DO-NOT-EVEN-THINK-IT. I have your address, your facebook password, your browser search list... I googled it.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I kind of wish there was LESS talk about Kupp. And Everett. Gives me the hee-bee jeebies. I don't know how to spell that.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
"Accuracy".. in regard to QB's obviously. And "Gadget Player". Accuracy... it's just too wide-sweeping as used today, IMHO. Lost it's meaning... today it simply equates to 'completions'. What is wrong with that? Remember Kurt Warner? He didn't simply complete passes he hit receivers so deadly accurately that 'adjustment' on the part of the receivers was a non-factor.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
This is a 'generational' thing I'm sure but I think the single most 'different' thing I find about today's fans... and I mean truly good fans, is that they, (sure seems to me), root MORE against teams than they do FOR their team. MOST NFL fans I know today when talking, or posting, about sports focus on the teams they hate FAR more than the team they like. Ok, this example is baseball,by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
they are coming to my area soon... or maybe it was this weekend. I would like to have seen them.. but wouldn't have, or didn't. Hard to pry my lazy @## out of the woods these days. That got me to thinking... who, today, would have the ability to get me off my lazy @## and get me to a concert? for SURE, I mean? Short list. MANY I'd like to see but I know me and the truth is that wiby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
in the very late 60's, then in the 70's, when I would wake up and 'work', (I was a farmer), would be cancelled... rain maybe, a bad equipment breakdown - - and I'd decide, about 6am, to go to the game. I didn't think twice about racing home, jumping in my car, and heading to LA... about 4 hours. Tickets were the least of my worries.. in fact, it wasn't a worry at all. Even the ticket agencieby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I had seen that one, but ya can't see it too many times. :thumbsup Tangent: It never ceases to amaze me how many fans the NFL, and more specifically the RAMS, had in those days. It was NOT that way around where I lived. I do not recall even a single other person that followed the NFL around here and in those days. Baseball ruled. Even after SB I there were few who truly followed the gby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
because I can see how being among so many, (40-50), could be great. So many to celebrate with. Alas, that's not in me. I am completely unable to put up with 'small talk' during Ram games... even sympathetic small talk.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
not live, anyway. I was a quivering bowl of jello wallowing in a mud puddle. I've mentioned that before... but not this next: I'm positive that my listening on the radio, pacing up and down in a rain storm, completely befuddles most people.. it gets worse. :laughing I wouldn't except it... I don't know how long it was before I accepted that they had won the game but I can say it wasby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
and I hope I don't have to keep saying that sure.. he's a rookie, unproven, he's not 'there' yet, or at least not proven. That's one big "Duh". "Separation" is becoming less and less vital in today's game.. IMHO. Fighting for the ball, being able to 'catch', now takes precedence. IMHO, of course. Kupp appears to have that ability. (Along WITH getting separation). Iby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
that what i'm about to say is the attitude of a loser.... I do not agree. I did not weep after that loss to the Steelers. Sad? Absolutely... but the sadness never overtook the pride I had in that team... not immediately after, not during the drive home, (I was at the game), nor today. Then, and now, I think that 79' team was the 'weakest' of the great Ram 70's teams. If you think that'by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Of course... and as I knew would happen... (couple answers I wouldn't have thought of)... I had to review my choice and reconsider... BUT... I'm sticking with it. Waddy's TD, for me, was outstanding in every way. And for me, and those of us who followed through the 70's I'm sure... it was 'vindication'... a 'reckoning', you might say. I'm becoming more aware that the most 'exuberant' rby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
if the coaching change was the 'right' one... I do believe, wholeheartedly, that it was not just the 'needed' one but it was essential. So far I have no complaints... it's gone well, better than expected I would say.... McVay didn't inherit an enviable draft position. I have reviewed only Everett, Kupp, and Reynolds so far - seems to me one of their best characteristics is being 'turn key'.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
When I look back on great plays... all of them... these days I see them all as one game... all leading up to the Lombardi. Even players... my guy, Olsen... in my mind, won that SB as much as Warner, Faulk. Youngblood was there when Warner hoisted the Lombardi. I see Youngblood's sacks as getting us to the big show, then winning it.. I think as much as any play you can name from the SB itself.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I was mulling that over today... and the 'moment' that I finally gave #1 surprised me a little. Note: NOT talking about 'happiest', or 'greatest', or most 'historic', nor necessarily the most 'emotional', although it could be ALL those things... just the moment you physically reacted the most exuberantly. So many to choose from but for me it was Ferragamo to Waddy vs Dallas 1979 playoffby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Is the Violin. Keyboard seems harder to me. But that's just 'gut feeling'. The Cello. The Cello is "just maybe" the most pleasing sounding musical instrument of all to me. Played well, of course. :laughing I have only seen a handful of "Chamber Music" concerts in my lifetime but I love them. Almost makes me feel like I'm debonair. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
After having purchased it in Fresno I drove home only to discover I didn't have it with me. Some time later I was traveling to Fresno to go see the movie... on the way my alternator went out... missed it... Somebody up there doesn't want me anywhere near that tale... in written or video form. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
that stlramz was dead on the money when he said indications are McVay has a lot of confidence in Mannion. That may be 2+2=5 but I don't care... that's my take. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
