That's funny; I used to call them Tampon Bay back in the late 70's. Someone asked me why and I said "Because they're so douchey!"
McVay is now 4-2 overall vs the Bucs, including 1-0 in the playoffs. (Rams overall are 3-0 vs Bucs in the playoffs)
The Rams also had the satisfaction of being the only NFC team to beat Brady 2x in a season (2021). 5 AFC teams have also done that.
I started calling them Tampon Gayyyy because of their lame cheer they do in their stadium. The home side of the stadium's fans scream out in unison- "Tampa"... then, the east side of the stadium screams back - "Bay". Annoying doesn't begin to describe it... plus, it's lame as fuck like I said. They go back and forth with this stupid shit multiple times.
I've been to 2 of the 3 playoff games we've played against them (those 2 were in Tampa) . The other playoff game we had against them was in The STL (NFC Championship game / Ricky Proehl one handed catch game winner.
The 1st one was the 1979 NFC Championship Game. We were back home in Orlando (from Hawaii) for the Christmas / New Year holidays. My Grandfather surprised me with tickets. No touchdowns in the game... but we won 9 - 3 I think the score was... my hatred for that team began that day. That was in the Old Sombrero stadium that bad flat aluminum benchs with a seat number just painted on top.
The other playoff game was in their current stadium- Raymond James... aka Ray-J... when we beat brady. Kupp's bomb last minute catch put us within to get us in field goal range.
Orlando and Tampa residents don't really like each other. When our Orlando Lions soccer team was still in a lower league, we had a huge rivalry. Our hometown cheer was/is short and sweet - "Fuck Tampa". Orlando is in the MLS now, so we don't play Tampon anymore... but our sophisticated fan base stills screams out "Fuck Tampa" multiple times. LOL... The hatred is pure and strong!
I've been to just about every Ram game in Tampon since 1979. Their fans are total trash too.
Soooooooooooo.... FUCK TAMPON!!!!!!
