Back in the late 70's, the Rams were a powerhouse and I never really thought about "hating" other divisional teams. So even after the whiners won their first super bowl, I just thought of them as another tear. Yeah I wanted to beat them but I didn't get stressed or lose sleep over a game back then. Then fast forward to the 90's and the Rams are the worst team (or one of) in the NFL. The whiners were pretty good and had a long winning streak against the Rams. Normally, when a team is down you just play them, win and go home. But F-N no, they decided they want to rub our faces in it. When the whiners invented the "SOSAR" Rams, I started to hate them with a passion. I admit I was (at the time, sort of ashamed now) cheering when Aeneas Williams from the Cardinals dealt Steve Young a knockout blow. I don't normally feel good about any players getting injured but the hatred was so deep that I celebrated it. Fast forward and now the whiners play dirty and they seem to get the benefit of calls and non calls. I'm thinking if the Rams are going to get flagged for touching Purdy, might as well pick him up and pile drive him into the ground. I was sort of getting over it and letting it go until a golf friend (in 2021) decided he wanted to talk trash before the 2022 NFCCG and said we'll just punch the Rams in the face and beat them as usual. Then the PTSD set in and I let him have it after the Rams beat the whiners and won super bowl 56.
I'm sure I'm not the only one on this forum who hates the whiners with a passion.
