The Giants won against the hapless Rams 41 to 13. A great game for us.
You it's funny how the rivalry's for teams change. I remember when I was a kid and the Los Angles Rams had a great team. A legendary team even. George Allen as the coach. Roman Gabriel, Merlin Olsen, Deacon Jones, man that was a team. Those fucking Rams were so cool that the Duke even had them act in one of his movies. Of course Rock Hudson was in the same movie so maybe the casting director was paying off some gambling debts or something.
Anyway, I remember a game where they bitch slapped us and knocked us out of the playoffs. Deacon Jones bitch slapped Fran Tarkenton like a red headed step child. You always looked forward to seeing the West Coast teams like the Rams and the Niners because you didn't get to see them on TV. So the Rams were a big rivalry.
But then the league expanded and we started playing the 49'ers in the playoffs all the time and they became our big West Coast rival.
Then they moved to St. Louis. What the hell was that all about? Now who cares. I mean St. Louis? Holy Ozzie Smith batman, that's a baseball town.
It's funny how a rivalry will change.
