Y’know it’s funny though. As a young teen I actually liked Pat Haden. Not sure if it was just blind love for everything Rams or what. The underdog thing? Dunno. Maybe it was his 35-19 record as a starter. Looking back at his stats, it’s a mystery.

But I’d gladly pay TWO… yes TWO nickels for that fat head.

Let the bidding begin.
I will send you a $100 if you don't bid on it.

And that's why you never leave a game early unless they are losing by more than 16 points with less than a minute remaining.

1967. Late in the season they were playing the Packers, Down 4 points the final minute Rams blocked a punt. Returned it to the 5 give or take. Roman Gabriel throws the game winning touchdown to Bernie Casey. That one started it for me. The following week the Rams routed the undefeated Colts to win the division and make the playoffs. That one sealed it for me.

I was a Dodger fan the year before when I was home sick with the mumps during the World Series. I watched because the two other channels at that time had soap operas on. There was nothing else. So I rooted for the California team. Unfortunately they got swept by the Orioles. But it only made sense to be a Rams fans since I was a Dodger fan. And I grew up in 49er/Giants territory.
I remember listening to that game on the am dial, KMPC in Los Angeles live. Dick Enberg was calling the game .
It wasn't on TV because it was a local game.
What a finish!!

First Rams game I don't remember was in the early 70s. Playing against SF, one of the teams (don't even remember which one) ran a RB screen when the entire line other than the center shifted out wide pre-snap. I didn't know what the fuck was going on, confused as all hell, but then again I was only 9 or 10 then.
