#16: Homecoming

Greatest Show on Grass

Last Sunday, 91,046 people came together to scream and sweat and celebrate as the Los Angeles Rams upset the Seattle Seahawks 9-3 in the Rams first regular season game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum since 1979. The feeling of history was ubiquitous: from the team’s throwback, classic blue and yellow uniforms, to the presence of Rams Hall of Famers Jackie Slater, Tom Mack, Jack Youngblood, and Eric Dickerson. This was not just a game. It was a living monument to a storied past. Joshua Neuman and Tunisha Singleton discuss the off-the-field pageantry as well as the on-the-field action. Plus, we wonder about a curious song selection announcing the team’s entrance to the field and look ahead to the Rams trip to Raymond James Stadium to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
