We've officially hit the century mark. The Downtown Rams Podcast first aired back on May 5th, 2017 and since the podcast has grown at a constant pace. We appreciate every one of you that tune in weekly to our show. We will continue to pump out podcasts for your listening pleasure.

As for the 100th episode. I brought on friends of the podcast. Former co-host Blaine Grisak, Ventura County Star Reporter Joe Curley, and former Rams CB Kayvon Webster. In this episode we went live, Kayvon joined the show at the 58:07 mark. We talked about everything from the Rams to the Lakers to the NFL as a whole. Check out the new episode below:

Throwback Joes (Rams gear)

LARams_1963
Just wanted to share my experience with Joe. I ordered about 3 months ago. I had heard some of the issues in the past were due to logistical/operational issues. I decided, after viewing the quality of the work which I haven't see anywhere else, to give Joe a shot.

SO!!!!! Just received a messenger message from Joe himself. Showing me pics of both my wonderful jerseys and the package (which should arrive tomorrow). Such a great, personalized response from him. I texted my 83 year old dad and showed him pics of my jerseys (Snow and Hirsch). My dad was SO excited and said he wanted an Elroy jersey! I messaged Joe back and he was super cool and jazzed about my pops Rams heritage. My Dad went to almost all Ram games between 47' and 54'. Including the 51' Championship victory. His favorite player was always "Crazy Legs". CL was one of the first Rams players I ever learned about. At the time, in 69', he had only been out of the league for 11 years . Of course at the time that seemed he was from "Ancient" times....

Of course, my dad asked for a XL, which should now actually be a medium...

. But.... in my mind I'm sure he will never wear it, and I would prefer to frame it and hang it next to his living room TV so he can look at it and reminisce about his childhood hero! All this I owe to Joe..... for resurrecting the past in a way that no one else has. Thanks Joe!!

RIP RRF???

Juice
I was a regular lurker at RRF. I started at the 'official' site, and then moved over there. I appreciate CGI hooking me up with you guys. I do not post a lot, but I know when I am in good company. You guys are not only the most knowledgeable Rams fans, but knowledgeable football people as well. It gives me what other platforms can't. The media is so biased, and I am tired of the hot take. Thanks @CGI_Ram. I owe you a debt, my friend.

As a side question, I was a member of a site of all football teams before the 'official'. That is where I met Jimmy7709 and a bunch of other people. Does anybody remember that old site?

Five reasons why the Seahawks will make the 2018 NFL playoffs

LOL he had a very good year, but I wouldn't say tremendous.

And he is not top 5. Top 10 yes but he isn't top 5.





Well if that's the plan they need to make some BIG changes because the running back by committee didn't work behind a line that can't block.

I see this team being 8-8 or 7-9.

Wilson is scary at times with the plays he can make, but I think he also causes a lot of the pressure he is under. Don't get me wrong their OL is bad, but I can't see how his OT's can block for him because they often don't know where he is. He often drops back too far for them to push the DE beyond Wilson and he can roll right into more pressure. I wonder if he would see similar "pressure" if he was on a team like NE etc.. since he creates a lot of that pressure in my view.

2018 Hockey Season!

Memento
Man, am I excited for my Blues. Getting Dominik Bokk (German right wing) in the draft was awesome. David Perron (wing), Tyler Bozak (center), and Chad Johnson (the goalie, not the wide receiver) don't seem that exciting, but we traded for Ryan O'Reilly (center)...and the most we gave up was Thompson and a first round pick! And we even dumped Berglund and Sobotka in the process!

So yeah, it's early and all, but do tell how your team did!

Right now things have played out perfectly.

Tru Johnson is in NY as well. The money he got paid was crazy.

Talib &
Peters will make less combined this season.

Count all the lossing seasons The Rams have had since in St. Louis ?

Looking back The Rams should have franchised Jenkins. He was the player with the higher value.

Tru should have been signed to a long term deal. Don’t miss either player & the comp picks are worthy of there draft pick value.

I feel real good about how things turned out personally. :D

Faced with Human Darkness, I get Lost

I felt this way in an undergrad research class, while studying what happened after Hitler died in Germany to end WW2 (pretty much). My paper was close to 30 pages of writing about the darkness I saw. Everyone knew about the holocaust, which was as evil as it gets. In Salweezal, a Jewish girl overheard some complaining about supposed Jewish holocaust survivors getting the best of everything (chocolates, premium housing) while they got nothing but a barn and straw to sleep on... She spoke up about them screwing German soldiers while her relatives were being gassed and burned in ovens. They killed her and a bespectacled professor that tried to protect her, throwing their bodies with others who had died under the Germans. Americans shot down Nazi guards at Dachau after capture. They probably deserved to die after what the Americans saw in the concentration camp, but even so,.it was a violation of who we were supposed to be as Americans. Displaced persons, by the millions in Germany exacted vengeance on German civilians, so much so that American soldiers forced the DP's into their former concentration camps, now under American guards, to stop the violence. FDR and by extension General Dwight D. Eisenhower told mostly white collar workers to grow their own food after the war, because the Allies would not feed them. They didn't know how to farm, and real farmers were getting strafed by American war planes as they tried to tend the fields. Plus, the British and American zones had most of the populations and the Russians had most of the farm land, which they would not share. In cities like Berlin, the ration levels for civilians was at the level of concentration camps (less than a 900 calories a day). Russians raped German women under their control until 1950...as many as 300,000, maybe more..MULTIPLE times. American GI's used their rations of cigarettes and chocolate to extract "favors" from German women, who were desperate for food. American GI's sent something like 3 times their base salary home, because of the black market, after the war.

I feel too much about the darkness I study. I was depressed for weeks after writing the paper, but I didn't tell my wife. I love what I do, but I am glad that I decided to change from post WW2 studies to late 19th century American transformation to the modern world. I don't know if I could survive the darkness again...

Revisiting this thread.
Important to remember as well nothing exists in a vacuum.
Experiences and emoti Me are no different.
Hard or difficult things is how we grow. Individual experience maynor may not have anything to do with society at large. But, it is the scar tissue that makes us stronger.
We all have our struggles challenged and personal tragedies. They are personal. This does not make them any less tragic.
I have grown through mine. I also carry bitterness with me and generally don't like most people. It's not from feeling better than anyone else it is emotional scar tissue.
The world is sewer. Always had been. Always will be.
There is not a damned thing you or I can do about it in the macro.
In the micro we can make our world a little better. We can, despite the baggage we carry, learn from our struggles.
Just a thought.
