Life of a Ram Fan Has Ups and Downs
- Share via
Why am I a Ram fan? Roman Gabriel to Jack Snow. Why should I be a Dolphin fan? Bob Griese to Paul Warfield. Why am I a Ram fan? John Hadl to Harold Jackson. Why should I be a Cowboy fan? Roger Staubach to Drew Pearson. Why am I a Ram fan? Merlin Olsen and Fred Dryer.
. . . And now why am I a Ram fan? Jim Everett to anybody. Why should I be a 49er fan? Joe Montana to anybody. Why am I a Ram fan? Someday they will win a Super Bowl. Why should I be a 49er fan? They win Super Bowls.
Why am I a Ram fan? Because I love roller-coaster rides? Because I am a masochist? Because they are underachievers, like me? Because I’ve lived here so long I bleed L.A. smog? No.
I love the Rams because they are the epitome of the agony and the ecstasy--always so close, yet so far away.
Remember there’s always next decade.
