Twenty five years. We all remember the horse latitudes in which we were adrift during the Linehan, Spagnuolo, Fisher tenures. 11 years; 54 wins. Zero winning seasons. But they were sandwiched by a pretty good run from 2000-2005 under Martz and 2017-2024 under McVay. 14 years, 137 wins. Ten winning seasons. The longer McVay is around the further away the horse latitudes become in the mirror.

And before '99, you have to go back to '89 for a Rams winning season. I thought that 9 year stretch was brutal until the Spags/Linehan/Fisher years came along teaching me what the word brutal really meant...

During the 80's, I worked in the same department as a niner fan. Though he was a really good guy, who I liked a lot, there were times I wanted to choke him! Such is what that rivalry brIngs out.

There really is something primal at the heart of fandom. You pick a team and suddenly hate other teams, hate the fans of other teams. Violence between fans is common. Why? It's ridiculous. But clearly taps into a part of our nature which is no doubt part of how it is nations go to war...
