I need the Rams to win today and the total points scored equal 64 points. That is what my guess was the contest on Rock Radio 96.3 WJAA the best radio station in America.
I doubt I will win. I don’t deserve to.
I enjoy football more than the next man. However, about Tuesday or Wednesday of this past week, I saw a news program on a television in our home whose sound we muted. On the screen I saw Jared Goff, the LA Rams quarterback.
Oh my, I thought, the Super Bowl is this Sunday.
About ten weeks into the season I was hoping the match-up would be the Rams and the Chiefs. ANYONE else…just don’t put the Patriots there again.
The Pats are there. Therefore, my give-a-crap meter is running low. I am afraid that experience will win out. But I also remind myself that Tom Brady was a bit of a tater tot when he won his first one. I am sure the St. Louis Rams were favored that day against the Pats New England won on a last second field goal 20-17.
The last time the Rams, albeit they were the St. Louis Rams, won the Super Bowl, they were playing the game in Atlanta. That was Super Bowl 34 when the Rams defeated the Tennessee Titans.
The Los Angeles Rams have never won a Super Bowl. The last time they played in one it was played in my favorite stadium
The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Rams in Super Bowl 14 in 1980 in the Rose Bowl. When my dear wife, Carrie, were pass a football to each other on the field of the Rose Bowl, I pointed out to her that she just caught a pass at about the same spot that Terry Bradshaw hit John Stallworth with an over the should bomb. That was it. She was done. Our game of catch in the Rose Bowl was over.
Go Rams! And 64 points wouldn’t be too bad either.
Enjoy the game (if you can).
