Deconstructing The St. Louis Rams

There are many animals which you would not dare cross paths with, unless you are doing a segment for MTV's program, "The Wild Boys" or a show like the ones for the Discovery Channel which deals with the creation of documentations for these animals. Such animals, like the Black Mamba is one of the feistiest and fastest snakes in the world and is regarded by many as the deadliest snake in the whole world. In the deadly waters of the Amazon, one would not dare put their legs down the water as it may be filled with carnivorously biting Piranhas or even the preying crocodiles nearby. If you are familiar with those Spanish shows that deal with raging bulls, you may have seen one of those unwanted scenarios where the matador would actually be hit by the bull, then you would know that in the first place, individuals should not even be getting in the way of these fired up beasts that can crack our bones if we are hit. Want a junior of these bulls? What about rams? They can hit you hard like these bulls, but are actually lighter and faster. Not a bad combination right? Speed and power is the perfect knock anyone out.

It is no surprise that the St Louis team named their football team under that animal. The St. Louis Rams is definitely living up to the animal which they have chosen. After all, what more could you want than power, speed, and accuracy in hitting your opponents. And indeed this team packs a mean punch when they are out there in the field. The franchise already has two NFL Championships and one Super Bowl championship under its belt. Like many other teams in the NFL, this team is no stranger to the shifting as with terms of "residency". Prior to being based in St. Louis, the Rams originally started in Cleveland. Afterwards, for fifteen seasons, the team then moved to Anaheim, Los Angeles as the Los Angeles Rams. At the year 1995, this is then when the club has been staying in St Louis up to the present. Although it still is owned by the same individual, the NFL allowed it to be a separate entity since the no part of the previous management joined the movement and only four of the players rode with the team. And now looks like the Rams are on their way to continue their rampage in knocking out the other teams in the NFL.

The owner of this club surely did choose a good name. Considering that it is a football team, what more would any person want that drive through any other opponent. Rip them, and bury them to the ground! That is how a ram would finish its opponents. Football then would be the sport to bring out the ram in all of us. Let the animal inside be set free and do its own thing. So what animal would you be, the predator or the prey?
