The Los Angeles Rams jumped to 2-0 in the 2016 preseason after another come-from-behind victory at the Coliseum. Joshua Neuman discusses the game versus the Chiefs and the growing spotlight on Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher on the third episode of HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” Plus, we take a visit to Los Angeles’ Fairfax District where the Rams were formerly headquartered and to a storied tavern that—unbeknownst to most—showcases perhaps the most important artifact in the history of the team.

For over 21 years, the Los Angeles Rams were pure fantasy, existing mainly in memories and in movies. That all ended this past weekend when the L.A. Rams came from behind to defeat the Dallas Cowboys 28-24 in front of a record-breaking 89,140 fans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Joshua Neuman and Tunisha Singleton analyze the Rams performance as well as the second episode of “Hard Knocks” and the newfound spotlight on dinosaur-denier/mermaid-believer, William Hayes. Plus, we take a trip...

It’s an incredibly exciting week for Rams fans as their team kicks off the beginning of the NFL season with an exhibition game against the Dallas Cowboys and takes its turn as subjects of the critically acclaimed HBO docu-series, “Hard Knocks.” Joshua Neuman puts the Rams/Cowboys matchup in historical context and dissects the first episode of “Hard Knocks” and how the producers of the series are emphasizing the team’s Los Angeles roots. Celebrities are already gravitating to the team, but is...

Seventy years ago, the Los Angeles Rams were granted permission to play in the L.A. Coliseum on one condition: Sign Kenny Washington. Lincoln Heights native, UCLA grad, and standout for the Hollywood Bears of the Pacific Coast Professional Football League, Washington broke the NFL’s color barrier the year before college teammate Jackie Robinson broke MLB’s. But Washington’s name largely toils in obscurity. Joshua Neuman sits down with Kenny Washington’s grandson and the President of the...

Perhaps the first public sign that the St. Louis Rams had become the Los Angeles Rams was an image from Todd Gurley’s Instagram account showing the 21-year old running back in front of Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles in Long Beach, CA. Joshua Neuman and Tunisha Singleton sit down with Zach Brooks of the “Food is the New Rock” podcast at Ms. B’s M&M’s Soul Food in Inglewood, CA to discuss restaurants and Rams. We will also deconstruct the recently released Carl’s Jr. television spot...

NFL allegiances can be complicated things. Most people end up rooting for the home team, but random factors often determine one’s allegiances—a particular player, game, or even uniform can make you one team’s fan for life. For “Greatest Show on Grass” host Joshua Neuman, it was one play during the third quarter of the fourth game of the 1983 NFL season between the Los Angeles Rams and the New York Jets. In this special bonus segment, you’ll take a trip to suburban New Jersey to experience the...

The 2016 Rams season promises a ton of high drama: Jared Goff’s likely debut against the 49ers on Monday Night Football; the first regular season Rams game in Southern California since 1994 against the Seahawks; a trans-Atlantic voyage to take on the Giants in London on October 23; a reprise of Super Bowl XXXVI against the Patriots; and a New Year’s Day season finale against the division favorite, Arizona Cardinals. Joshua Neuman and Tunisha Singleton walk through the schedule and discuss the...

While the Dallas Cowboys may have assembled the NFL’s first modern cheerleading team, the L.A. Rams soon followed suit with a squad that was no less resplendent, yet all the more Hollywood. “The Embraceable Ewes,” as they came to be known, partied with the Rolling Stones, frolicked at the Playboy Mansion and made countless, primetime television appearances. Joshua Neuman sits down with original Rams cheerleader Jenilee Harrison (who would later co-star on hit TV shows like “Three’s Company”...

On January 12, 2016, the Rams return to Los Angeles got greenlit. On March 23, the team got its own reality show. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any more Hollywood, the Rams acquired the top pick in the NFL Draft and are now poised to cast a new leading man. Did the Rams give the Tennessee Titans too much for the number one selection? And for which quarterback should that selection be used: Cal’s Jared Goff or North Dakota State’s Carson Weinz? Joshua Neuman is joined by The...

As the present day Rams get to know the city of Los Angeles, don’t you think it’s time for you to get to know them? Joshua Neuman and Tunisha Singleton survey Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat to tell you which of the newly arrived Rams (as well as the Rams of the past) you need to follow on social media. Which ones appreciate Rams history? Which ones interact with Rams fans? And which ones might even follow you back? Plus, middleweight champ Gennady Golvkin’s blue and gold homage to the Rams...

Though a diminutive 6’1 and with merely average arm strength, Rams quarterback Case Keenum hardly has star qualities—though General Manager Les Snead and Head Coach Jeff Fisher might disagree. On this episode, we take a look at the team’s decision to use the first round tender on Keenum as well as the flurry of Rams activities during the first two weeks of 2016 NFL free agency. We’ll also explore the 1969 film, The Undefeated, starring John Wayne, Rock Hudson and an L.A. Ram who seemed...

The team that set the standard for the Hollywood athlete/icon now has it’s own national television series. After much speculation, the Rams have become the 11th NFL team to star on HBO’s Hard Knocks. Joshua Neuman is joined by The Hollywood Reporter’s Eriq Gardner to explore what this moment means for Rams fans and put the news into a larger historical context that includes a cavalcade of showbiz stars including: Norman Fell, Linda Carter, “J.J.” Jimmie Walker, Judy Landers, Joan Rivers,...

As FX continues its broadcast of The People vs. O.J. Simpson, we got to thinking about the other trial of a fallen football star going on in Los Angeles in 1995, that of Rams cornerback Darryl Henley. Sports Illustrated senior writer Michael McKnight joins Joshua Neuman and Tunisha Singleton to discuss the incredible ways that the Simpson trial impacted Henley’s legal fate. We’ll also look back at the career of Woody Strode, specifically, his starring role in the courtroom drama, Sergeant...

It’s Oscar season so we’d figure we’d hand out awards for the best and worst Rams of the 2015 season. We’ll also present a lifetime achievement award, to Elroy “Crazylegs” Hirsch who, perhaps more than anyone, established the Rams as Hollywood’s team. We’ll take a special look at the 1953 biopic, Crazylegs, in which Hirsch portrayed himself as well as examine some of his lesser roles. Joshua Neuman is joined by Tunisha Singleton and special guest, former L.A. Ram All-Pro kick returner and...

The Rams return to L.A., 70 years to the day after the team originally arrived, is not just the continuation of a sports legacy, but the green-lighting of a Hollywood re-make. On this episode, we remember the last time the Rams of Los Angeles won a Super Bowl, 1978—even if it was only in the movies. PLUS: Snoop roots for the Steelers, Macklemore reps the Seahawks and Ice Cube remains true to the Raiders, but who might emerge as the celebrity symbol of all things Rams? Joshua Neuman is...
