The Rams are already getting much more media coverage in L.A. than they were in St. Louis.

But if they want to be a national brand, a hit in L.A., they can't be a perennial loser. Nothing else will work.

They had a hometown boy, a Trojan, someone well liked by the media in Jeff Fisher and Eric Dickerson led a fan revolt against him.

The only marketing strategy that works is winning...

Yes.

Don't worry @CanuckRightWinger , looks like the Rams are listening!
Signed Robert Woods!
Fight on!

Hey thanks for the heads up dieterbrock.....it looks like Demoff took my idea of having more ex UCLA and USC players on the Rams Roster to heart eh!

Oh.....and speaking of "rolling with old Trojans"
....I remember being back in High School in Niagara, late at night, parked out at Lover's Leap (aka MakeOut Point).....and she suddenly gets very animated & excited and says to me "Oh Canuck, oh Canuck.....kiss me where it smells!"

So being the smart 12th Grader I was....I started up the car and drove to the Steel Mill in Hamilton!!!

Dear Mr. Demoff,

Whilst your boss Mr. Kroenke is out working tirelessly on surpassing Seattle's Paul Allen as the NFL Owner with highest net worth (mostly thru Real Estate Development), here's a FOOTBALL idea to help you sell 2017 PSL's....after all, you are the closest thing this Franchise has to a "President of Football Operations", right?

Also, let me emphasize, following your last year's "Return To LA" rollout debacle, it is damm clear that you NEED some help in the Marketing/Public Relations area. I mean, I don't think you could have screwed up the return of the Rams to America's second largest market any worse, even if you had tried. Think about it....in that humungous market of some 14 million Pro Football-starved Southern Californians, who initially greeted Los Ramos with grateful and welcoming arms (and open wallets)......by the end of that 4-12 clusterfook of a 2016 season, which YOU led:
--Rams management was having open warfare in the media with Ram HOFer Eric Dickerson ops:
--your home fans were chanting "Fire Fisher!"
--the Rams were being booed off the field by the Coliseum faithful at halftime
--after a hot start in September, ticket sales tanked by season's end & there were lots of empty seats for ALL to see....which translates to this thing called "Revenue Erosion"....and Mr. Demoff, you do realize that's not going to make Mr. Kroenke happy, right??

I mean, returning the Rams to LA after two decades away, was supposed to be a glorious and magnificent event.....an NFL-SoCal lovefest right?? :idea: Instead, by season's end, the Cardinals were slapping your charges around before empty seats, as increasingly the SoCal football faithful went off to swim, surf, party, yoga......ie. do something that didn't make them feel nauseated.

In a normal situation, firing the scapegoat Fisher, and hiring Doogie Howser to replace him, might've worked in putting those SoCal football fan undecideds, into a buying mode for 2017 Rams PSL's (ya know, that whole "new season, new start, perpetual Ramsnation optimism Kool-Aid Ingestion Annual Ritual we faithful do) ....

...BUT THIS IS NOT A NORMAL SITUATION!!
BECAUSE...
The Los Angeles Chargers are coming to town.
Right Fooking Now!!!!

Financially, I am sure that Mr. Kroenke likes that he splits his New Stadium costs in half by having a tenant, the Chargers....that's good for ESK's Balance Sheet going forward.
BUT ....what if that tenant, Mr. Spanos's Chargers end up being the #1 darlings of SoCal Football fans, huh??!! :shock: That's not so good for ESK's ego is it?

What if, just as the Lakers dominate the LA Roundball Market, Spanos's team ends up dominating the LA Pro Football fan base's preference & affinity???? :shock: ....and Mr. Kroenke's Franchise ends up being the ProFootball SoCal equivalent of the LA Clippers, huh??!!
Stan would definitely not like that!!! :idea: :arrow: :!:

If Stan's Rams were #2 to Spanos, ESK might even decide to make additional personnel changes in Rams Upper Management, n'est-ce pas? I mean, let's face facts Mr. Demoff.....since you joined the Rams, the team has stunk!!! :idea: The product on the field, especially the Offence is hard to watch. SO...it's not as though you have a coupla Ram SB wins under your belt and are indispensable eh!!

Ergo, if Mr. Kroenke's storied Franchise, the Rams, end up as second banana in LA, to the former AFL upstart from down the Coast, owned by the upstart (and also ego-driven) Spanos crew......whew, could be trouble for you eh, Mr. Demoff?

So here's a Marketing Idea for you as to how to get a head start on the Spanos clan for the 2017 Season....AND TO ALSO HELP SHAPE THIS THING CALLED "A LA RAMS TEAM IDENTITY"....which right now does not exist.

Here you go Kevin....

In the upcoming NFL Draft, wherever the talent potential Draftee level is close, instruct Les NoLongerFOJF Snead, to draft the positional player from either USC or UCLA in that Round. eg. We need a solid CB in Rounds 2 or 3?? Okay, select USC Trojan phenom Adoree Jackson, over Ohio States's Gareon Conley or Washington Husky Kevin King.
More examples....later in the Draft you need a OT....why not grab UCLA Bruin stud Conor McDermott, over Michigan's Erik Magnusson or Arkansas Razorback Dan Skipper?! :idea:

At WR, try for Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster....another Trojan star....and LOS ANGELES FOOTBALL FANDOM FAVORITE.

I can hear it now....critics crowing about "coruption of the BPA principle", but like I said, "where the talent level is close", like a cointoss difference, why not tab the LA Favorite where SoCal Trojan and Bruin fans will want to continue to watch their favorite players in the Pros (& support Los Ramos over the Bolts)???!! Let's piggyback on the SoCal football love already in existence, for decades, for the USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins. We'd be dumb to waste it IMO!

You need to win over the hearts and minds of the Football fanbase in SoCal Mr. Demoff. Your job may well depend on it! So I'm just giving you a common sense idea that BTW, the Spanos clan have probably already thought of! :!:

Of course, all of us long-suffering Rams fans will tell you that regardless of the 2017 Rams players' origins and Alma Maters.....THE NUMBER ONE WAY TO WIN OVER LOS ANGELES IS...

...JUST WIN BABY!!!

BTW, it's been done before by that Al Davis guy.

For Your Consideration & Action,

I understand your worries about the Chargers potentially taking over the Los Angeles football market and the impact it may have on the Rams. However, I believe that the Rams can build a strong identity and fan base in the city by focusing on delivering a winning team and providing a positive fan experience.

As for your suggestion to draft local players from USC and UCLA, I think it could be a good idea to tap into the local fan base's enthusiasm for those players. However, I also believe that the Rams should prioritize selecting players based on their skills and fit with the team's needs, rather than simply selecting players because they went to a local college.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and I hope that the Rams can continue to improve their on-field performance and build a strong connection with their fans in Los Angeles.

Do we have our first AI poster?

Haha lol.

[CanuckRightWinger]

Well, if RoboPoster is AI, then it appears his creators programmed him to be polite and civil in his measured responses......IE. no barbs about diminishing mental capacity type ailments, nor insults regarding one's country of origin.
Progress?

On a more somber note...I miss that dieterbrock guy's wit around here.

[Rams1PlateSince1976]

I bet you do! Dieter Brock was Canadian too. Well, I don't know if he was really Canadian but he played in the CFL.

[Hacksaw]

db was cool.

If sebastian35554 is a bot, amazing.
