Bad hair day all around, I'd say. Chuck with a toupee or one massive comb over.

Those guys rocked. Nice pic, Den. Great memories associated with all 3 of those gentlemen.

Knox was the architect of the "3 yards and a cloud of dust offense", better knows as "Ground Chuck". But his teams usually made the playoffs. Lawrence McCutcheon was another in a long line of great Rams running backs. And we have Todd Gurley to usher in the new era of Los Angeles Rams football.

But getting back to Georgia, yeah that (rhymes with ditch) was the main reason for the decline of what was once a great franchise. But those days are over and we now have an owner committed to LA. I believe now that the move is no longer the main focus he will be committed to winning.

Worst owner in LA sports history. Yes, worse than Sterling.


Georgia shoulda married Sterling, two collosal horrible owners.

We can hate on a dead woman all we want. I learned many many years ago that our angst was due to John Shaw and little with Georgia.

Here's our old GM before he injured his legs..

Donald Clement Klosterman (January 18, 1930 – June 7, 2000) was one of professional football's most accomplished executives, building teams in three different leagues after a serious accident ended his playing career as a quarterback and left his legs partially paralyzed. In the 1960s, Klosterman helped the American Football League (AFL, 1960–1969) overtake the NFL during the bidding wars that led the older league to seek a merger with the AFL. In the 1970s. he was a successful general manager for the NFL's Baltimore Colts and Los Angeles Rams, and in the 1980s he signed all-American quarterback Steve Young to a stunning contract in the United States Football League (USFL).


He and his boss Carroll Rosenbloom (seen here as the owner of the Baltimore Colts) set the bar for NFL franchises back in his time. First class tough guy operation.

This is something I always wanted to see with our Rams name on it.
