Didn't realize it's been over 20 years since either SF (1995) or LAR (2000) has hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. Not that past history means anything but it has been awhile for their fans.

Congrats Chazbo. Another in a long series of reminders that I shouldn't make a career of gambling

Rams nearly choked...they were dropping footballs like hot potatoes in the 2nd half...

McVay will have to reconsider his decision to feature Akers as the primary ball carrier...Michel doesn't have Akers' speed and elusiveness, but he holds onto the ball...


Who saw these last four teams; Chiefs, Rams, Bengals and 49ers, playing for a shot at the Super Bowl after week 12? Neither of them were playing great ball then...

Hey Al,
That was some great games this past weekend. Nice to see Stafford with a winning tea.
Pm me your addy please.
Thanks

I'll take Rams -3.5...anybody want the 49ers?

I’ll wait for the super bowl bet. Hopefully my college pickems trade credit is still good!

I would bet with you...

ok cool thanks, super bowl here we come!!!

Hey Al, didja get your tickets from Kelly Stafford yet?

I've been telling myself it's a bad idea to go chasing my smokes, but I'm not good at following advice

I'll take the 49ers +3.5, Al

OK, Dan...you've got a bet...apologies for my refusal to offer the usual platitudes and well wishes because I absolutely want to see the Rams knock the tar outta the 49ers...

this run of dominance over the Rams since the 80's ends right here...right now...

I was a Los Angeles Rams fan growing up the early 60's, during the heyday of Roman Gabriel, Dicky Bass, Jon Arnett, Jack Snow and the Fearsome Foursome....gave up following them when they bailed on L.A. and moved to Anaheim, then fled to St. Louis in '94 (already hated that city, as the Cardinals eliminated the Dodgers in the playoffs in the 80's and several more times while the Rams were in S.L.)...at the time they left, they were the 49ers' toys since the Joe Montana days in the 80's...


then they return a few years ago...I'm a Ram fan again...they go to the Super Bowl...and the 49ers still owned them...as if nothing changed.

I'll take the Packers vs the field for $1M.

what a PR nightmare...Rams should just accept that their money grabbing departure to St. Louis left Los Angeles football fans feeling betrayed ...and motivated them to look for other teams, including the 49ers, to support...many will not go back to the Rams because they've died or moved...a 20 year absence is a long while and will require time and victories and playoff success to recover from and build a new fan base...


trying to keep 49er fans out of SoFi for this game was a minor league move doomed from the start...

So is that if the Packers don't win the super bowl it's $1m or do they have to go undefeated next year? Either way, I'd take that bet in a heartbeat

I'm still in denial. Last week didn't happen.

Well I fully support your grieving process. So you're on, sir. $1m it is

So, I take that as a no, as far as getting tickets to the game. 😰

It’s a total shame that the Rams ownership (…no matter who it was…) basically followed the money. Whether it was their move from Cleveland to LA then LA to St. Louis and back, the smell of the green was the leading factor. And least we forget, how ‘bout the “trade” between Irsay and Rosenbloom back in the ‘70s? When you put it all together, the Rams franchise has had a pretty interesting history.

Nonetheless, given the 49ers dominance over the Packers in the playoffs recently, I’ll be pulling for LA to upset the faux home team (…yes, I know the Rams are the betting line favorite but 6 straight losses to the Niners makes SF seem like the team to beat…).

That makes two of us.

But hey, picking up my woofers on Monday sure changed my general mood this week. Got my spool of 12 gauge, OFC copper wire the other day so really need to get down to storage and get my rack and equipment back. Should also bring back a few boxes of CDs too. Wifey ain’t gonna like any of those moves.

Who wants to bet?
