Bud Grant's Garage Sale

[Hey Man]

1969 - 70 , I was 7- 8 years old, how do you guys remember all this stuff....... I remember the good teams and coaches but remembering when home fields were switched even if teams had better records and scores from those years. I know you can just look things up on Google but, come on....lol.

 

[Hey Man]

I remember the good coaches growing up that always made the playoffs, Knox, Knoll, Madden ( smoking cigarettes ) Grant, Landry and Shula. Don't remember shit after that., lol

 

[DaveFan'51]

Honestly though, I would have liked to drive bye there and waived Hi!!

God I hate the viqueens.

God I hate the viqueens.

With being born in 1980 and becoming a Ram fan in 89' I have no known failures against the Viqueens to fuel my hatred. That was prime Whiner time and I hate them with a passion. In recent years I have added the Cheats and Cowturds. Honestly I kind of like the Vikings symbol and uniforms. After reading this thread I feel a bit confused! Lol

I agree with this sentiment but apply it more to the Whiners, since they pioneered winning without honor and got away with it thanks to a complicit NFL/sports media.

(T)he Whiners....since they pioneered winning without honor .....

Define "winning without honor".

I hate the Niners as much as anybody but not sure what that means.

The playoff losses are too fucked up for me to talk about... even to this very day. So,,, simply put,,, I don't have the stomach to explain the details to you. But believe me... you NEED to hate them too.

Maybe someone else can go over the shit they (and the NFL) served us in the 70's. I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm still trying to forget.

I would imagine everyone has a different standard of meeting that definition. For me personally, I have to cop out and borrow from Justice Stewart -- by stating "I shall not today attempt to further define it ... but I know it when I see it" -- because listing all the disgusting examples of how the Whiners had no honor would take a few pages at least, or maybe a book.

Jerry Rice - illegal stickum
Fast Eddie - illegally paying players extra cash under the table
Carmen Policy - illegal salary cap manipulation

Just a few of the worse ones. But hey, I always hated them mostly for the same reasons (plus a lot more) as I hated the Cowboys and Vikings, because the Rams were good enough to beat them but came out on the losing side more than I wanted to see. Plus I lived in a state where a lot of their fans jumped on the bandwagon in the 80s when before then you hardly saw them around, and then became arrogant and entitled. Uh oh don't get me started! (too late!) :fuelfire:
