The Rams may have been in St. Louis for ten years now, but they will always be the Los Angeles Rams of my youth. The team that went to Super Bowl XIV in 1980 led by Pat Haden, Wendell Tyler, Nolan Cromwell and Jack Youngblood. That bitch Georgia Frontiere maybe be able to move my team out of Los Angeles, but she can't move them out my heart.

So I still follow the Rams when I can. This season has been a rough on. Injuries to QB Marc Bulger left ancient, interception-prone Chris Chandler at the helm. Despite a great start, the Rams were 6-8 with two games to play and facing an off season of doubt with Mike Martz's head likely on a plate.

But the Rams finished strong, beating an undermanned Eagles team on Monday Night Football two weeks back and sneaking past the Jets in OT last Sunday on a Jeff Wilkins field goal. 8-8 is nothing to be proud of, but now that they've made the playoffs in the weak NFC, anything can happen. The first task is get past Seattle who won the division despite two losses to my Rams. If the Rams can beat the Seahawks again, they might make it all the way to Jacksonville with nothing but sup-par teams in the way of their 4th Super Bowl appearance. It's a long shot, but you never know.
