Give Me One Reason to be a Rams Fan

After Sunday's game, to be honest with you, I couldn't find one single reason why I'm hanging in here as a Rams fan.

Not one! How sad is that?

There's no hope around the corner for this group of misfits led by a QB that doesn't give a damn about what we think or say.

There's no light at the end of the tunnel to offer us any ray of hope that just maybe, just maybe there's still some life and pride left in this team. Nothing.

This team is so damaged that not even a top notch, superior draft can help bring the team back to respectability. There are so many players that need to be replaced it's mind boggling. This mess we call a team makes the days of Tony Banks look like a cake walk.

Yet here I am, publishing a newsletter, a website and forum all for the Blue and Gold. And why? I really don't have the answer. Not a logical answer.

The only thing that comes to mind is that maybe it's because after you have followed a team all your life, they become like family, and sometimes even your family can be difficult to be around, but you still love them. And you find it harder to turn your back on that family than it is to love them. So, you continue to love them even though they've let you down, even though they've fallen apart and gone astray. Because as hard as it is, you know deep in your heart, that this is the time when your love is most needed.

Go Rams!
