The Gipper Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 6. Ron Brown? Although he was only drafted by us I believe NO, Brown did play for the Browns for one year I think.....but though he was a good receiver for the Rams after the trade, he never actually ever led them in receiving any year.

The Gipper Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 8 is Cardinals....Chicago? NO. The question was "what was the name of the original NFL franchise in St. Louis". The Cards were originally in Chicago, moved to St. L.....But they were not original to St. Louis. Hint: this franchise is defunct. 4 = Frank Ryan? NO. Ryan came from the Rams....but he was always like a backup and never led the team in passing. Around the same time the Rams took Roman Gabriel in the draft and put their eggs in his basket, making Ryan expendable trade bait. Good for the Browns!

LoyalRam Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Let's say trivia question #13......What team was fully expected to move into the TWA Dome at St Louis before the Rams, where the red seats you'll see on Sunday, were installed because of that teams color scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalRam Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 The answer is the Patriots....The builders of the then TWA Dome considered the Patriots a lock to move the team to St Louis, and installed red seats beacause of this belief..and they ARE STILL THERE!

Interesting.....and that just shows you how much of a shit franchise the Patriots were before Parcells/Kraft/Belichick/Brady got there. They had half empty houses that they played in front of. Post Brady.....it will probably go back to that. Despite their recent success, I think that football is actually the #4 sport in the Boston area.
