My new most hated Rams opponent fanbase list:
1. Saints
2. Seahawks
3. Patriots
4. 49ers
5. Eagles

Hell they were high on my list from the Haslets years and when they hired Payton it cemented them in my top 5.

1. 49ers
2. Patriots (but they probably on every fan base's top 5)
3. Cowboys
4. Vikings
5a. Saints
5b. Seahawks
5c. Eagles

Obviously I have too much hate!!!

Nice list, but Vikings? There fans do not seem that obnoxious. Dallas gets a lifetime pass from me for JJ helping us come back to LA.

The Saints were found guilty of running an illegal bounty system the year they won the SB. I don't recall them giving the Lombardi back...

We are one of the teams of the future. The Patriots are about to be a team of the past when the Rams deliver that nice shiny 'present' to the City of Angels.
The Lombardi Trophy.

Would have been real cool if the stadium was ready next season as originally laid out. To open the new house with the ring ceremony , Banner going up and new uniforms. Man that would have been sweet.

Things may just work out that way but a year later. Something else to look forward too.

And history has not bunched up all the dirt with the trophy.

They won a Super Bowl and nothing else matters.

The hearing just finished. This guy was tweeting it, if you want to follow what was said by both lawyers.

Boom!

QFTO Courtroom: Saint's Whiny Little Bitches Edition.

Some excerpts;

Here in fed court waiting for noon hearing on longshot lawsuit by Saints fans hoping for justice over the infamous "no call." U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan (of NOPD consent decree fame) presiding.

Atty. Frank D'Amico says plaintiffs only asking for NFL to follow its rules and bylaws, no class action.

"We are not asking for money damages," Frank D'Amico Jr. says of the two plaintiffs against the NFL over the blown PI call in the NFC title game. They want Commish Goodell to take action under NFL Rule 17 re: a "calamity", he says.

Gladstone Jones, local attorney for the NFL, says plaintiffs did sue as a class action. Now Judge Morgan is asking who the class would be. Morgan describes lawsuit as "not a model of clarity."

Getting Goodell to replay at least a portion of the NFC title game is "the only suitable remedy, in our opinion," says plaintiffs' lawyer Frank D'Amico Jr. about fan lawsuit

.

D'Amico: "We're not trying to stop the Super Bowl from going forward...We're asking a court to compel the commissioner to follow the rules."

So D'Amico is now saying that plaintiffs want the court to order Goodell to investigate the "no call" under league rules, not for the court to tell him what to do next. Judge Morgan wants to know why that can't be done after SB.

Plaintiff Tommy Badeaux's lawyer, Roderick Alvendia, says Roger Goodell's failure is depriving his client, a season-ticket holder, the right of a chance to get Super Bowl tix via lottery. Visual aid of bad play facing judge.

Gladstone Jones, lawyer for NFL,, says Rule 17 is "all about" the commissioner's discretion, but that no such discretion exists for ordering a penalty flag.

Gladstone Jones, lawyer for NFL: ‘The NFL gets it. When its fans are upset, the NFL is upset…It’s a call the National Football League would have liked to see made.”

Jones says NFL has reviewed tape, talked to refs, to Saints owner Gayle Benson, coach Sean Payton, etc. over blown call. "This is not something that's been laying at the doorstep" of the NFL, unreviewed.

Judge Morgan orders 5 p.m. meeting in chambers with lawyers for NFL, fan plaintiffs. Nothing resolved.

Saints fans need to dial 1-800-WAA-AAAH for some kind of relief.
