I used to be a big NFL fan - L.A. Rams were my team! I can still name a good many of the starters from the 70's and 80's. But I fell by the wayside after the first strike. Anyway, I decided to watch the Rams play the Bears last night, since I haven't watched a game in years and the Rams are having a great season... and I'm snowed in with nothing to do.
Well, the Rams vs. the Bears that I saw last night reminded me of the Rams vs. the Vikings in the NFC championship games of the 70's. We'd always tripped over the Vikings. Then they'd go on to the Super Bowl with Fran Tarkenton... and lose. Well, this QB that the Rams have (Goss? Goff? whatever!)... I'm pretty sure that he's Pat Hayden's bastard son. I'm convinced. I want a DNA test done. I know that kid must be Choke Hayden's boy!
And the refs and new rules suck! What a pussified set of rules. When did this weak-kneed, limp-wristed B.S. take place? Just stick flags on their belts already and call it the N
FFL (National Flag Football League). Let the cheerleaders play (get a few PC points for
gender equality, at the very least). Had to write this rant cause even when I was sick of the political and money B.S. between the NFL and the players' union during the strikes, I still loved the hard-hitting game. But after last night, I'd just as soon watch a high school basketball game on ESPN.
