No offense to St. Louis, but the Rams were never yours to begin with. They were always the Los Angeles Rams. You were just borrowing them.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the NFL is back in my town — Los Angeles. The NFL owners voted to allow the Rams to move from St. Louis back to Los Angeles, where they played from 1946 to 1994.
They’ll eventually play in Inglewood, where they tore down my second-favorite horse track to build this state-of-the-art football house that will open in 2019. Inglewood is also where the Lakers and Kings wrecked shit at The Forum before moving downtown to Staples Center. And yes, it’s also pretty much where LAX is.
In the meantime, the Rams will play in the Los Angeles Coliseum, which is where L.A.’s other NFL team, the USC Trojans play on Saturdays.
Why am I happy that the Rams are back in L.A.?
Because they never should have left to begin with.
I honestly have my doubts that Los Angeles can realistically support two NFL teams. There’s just too much going on here, but the NFL needed a team in L.A. and that team is the Rams.
The Rams have a history here and a pretty nice one at that. It includes one NFL championship, four conference championships, 11 division championships and 21 playoff appearances. Plus, Hall of Famers like Norm Van Brocklin, Deacon Jones, Merlin Olsen, Jack Youngblood, Jackie Slater and Eric Dickerson.
What I personally remember most of the Los Angeles Rams was this guy. Willie “Flipper” Anderson.
Remember back when you were a kid and you liked players on all teams? Well, I wouldn’t say I liked players on all teams, but I liked a lot of players who weren’t Green Bay Packers and I loved this cat.
That dude once had 336 yards receiving… in a single game!
The Los Angeles Rams of my childhood were fun to watch.
So yeah, I was a little salty when that stupid old woman, Georgia Frontiere, took them from Los Angeles and moved them to St. Louis.
To me, the Rams epitomized Los Angeles. At least when I was a kid.
Now that I live here, I think the Lakers are probably the only sports team that epitomizes L.A., but that’s beside the point.
The Raiders and their stabby fans belong in the Bay Area. The Chargers… no one gives a shit. The Rams belong in Los Angeles.
And when the Packers come to town, you’re all welcome to crash on my couch.

Wow, literally dozens of fans came out to support the move. I give it 10 years before they are the Mexico City Carneros.
PS Monty, LA stole them from Cleveland first.
Oakland is already Mexico’s team.
What style couch?
The Rams belong back in LA because an NFC West team in the central time zone was stupid to begin with.
For the record, LAX is in Westchester and borders El Segundo. The planes fly over Inglewood, but Inglewood is about a half hour east.
Never did get used to calling them the St. Louis Rams. They were always the LA Rams to me. Now, let’s get the Cards back in St. Louis.
The way the Bears play, Illinois may want the Cardinals back in Chicago.
now, if we can just get them to go back to the navy blue and white uniforms & helmets!
St. Louis made a bad decision back in the early 90s to put the stadium in a blighted area, right next to a bunch of housing projects. Kroenke made his real-estate fortune using insider information to buy up cheap farm land around future Walmart’s then selling it for many times the price to Subway and Taco Bell after the Walmart comes in. But the area where Edward Jones Dome is located is worse than Ferguson. There’s no place around it to develop.
As someone who lives on the West Coast, this is fantastic news! The Packers will come over just a little more often now! Every six years is a long time, but hell, I’LL TAKE IT!
Packers are coming to LA in 2018. Missed the new stadium by a year.
Actually they were originally the Cleveland Rams before they moved to L.A. Not that I expected the weird dipshit who wrote this to know that. But Google is pretty readily available these days.
I can already see it:
It’s 2018, Packers are at LA and the whole gang is having a sleepover at Monty’s.
It’ll be MMTTDC and Tyko sharing a bed bickering and fighting, Wolfie in the corner wailing and screaming, Pack Attack going on on some random never-ending diatribe and Shawn hands on the hips shaking his head wondering why he agreed to this.
