St Louis Rams enjoyer. You can find me perusing old media because everything new is awful
Watched the WK10 Rams-Patriots game from 2001.
Learned about Antowain Smith's story
Got a scholarship to Auburn, chose to work to take care of his ailing grandparents. Plays JUCO & gets another scholarship to Houston.
Drafted by Bills, gets screwed. Joins Pats, wins a super bowl.
Amazing

Patriots & Seahawks super bowl doesn't bother me as a Rams fan.
I only get mad recalling Mike Martz called 17 run plays for Marshall Faulk in SB 36 after giving him 31 carries in the NFC title game. Martz should've been investigated for points shaving, but it wasn't nefarious. He was just insane.

If it was Monday during the regular season and you played offense for the Rams in the early 2000s, Mike Martz is about to make you learn 45 new plays this week.
And then 45 new plays next week and the following 15 weeks after.

There was once a time when quarterbacks snapped under center and there was a multi-page dedication to talking about fullbacks in the draft.
Not a notable year for the position group in 2006.
Even then, the first paragraph notes the "dying breed" trend.

Random Rams: Daniel Fells
Fells was an UDFA out of Cal-Poly and spent time bouncing around different practice squads until he landed in St. Louis in 2008.
Breakout year: 2010
Fells caught 391 yards and 2 touchdowns in Sam Bradford's rookie year, then left STL in free agency in 2011.

The St. Louis Rams were really good at wasting potential.
Will Witherspoon is a good example.
100+ tackles 2 years in a row.
2007 season was his career best (7 sacks, 110 TKLs, 14 TFLs) and the Rams went 3-13 that year, never made the playoffs with Witherspoon.

Call me soft but I prefer the store-bought over "sitting in a crockpot for 15 hours" when I go through the office potluck line.

The urge to throw an imaginary football deep while evading the pass rush is so strong. Especially at work when I’m on a zoom call.
