Wow, actually a great name.

[Cornell29]

Reminds me of the time the rams had a Brandon Manumaleuna


At wr the rams do have a TuTu and a Puka

[bigklein]

It’s a beautiful name. Just practice saying it. At least the Rams are recognizing the need for help in the middle. Rozeboom has been everywhere and nowhere, flying all over the place like a rubber pinball.

We def have an eclectic team my friend.

USC is known to sign a lot of Pacifica/Native islanders, Samoans, etc... and we usually hit almost every time w them. They are beast and huge. So it's nice to see the Rams getting in on the action.

I have a very good story about Junior Seau ill share another time... but it has to do w San Diego, Del mar actually to be exact... a bar, tons of ladies and Junior pretty blitzed... it was hilarious, all while he kept buying our crews drinks. He was a really good guy. Sad day when he knocked himself off.

Yup, Gabriel was the first NFL QB of Filipino-American descent. His mother was Irish. As a 6’5” rookie, he was also the tallest QB in NFL history. Here’s a good piece on him: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-amer ... ll-n923811

I forgot that he also showed up on Gilligan’s Island and Laugh-In.

Del I think Hezbalah is looking for new recruits. I think you might be a good candidate! LOL

[Utah Rams Fan]

Gabriel was the first Rams’ QB that I remember since I started following the Rams back in 1969. Great memories as a kid growing up in SoCal.

I learned about Roman Gabriel when I was in highschool by looking up his career. This is at a time when I was learning rams history lol.

[Jacksnow]

Why? Just because you have an open spot on ps do you have to fill it. What did bucs, chiefs, patriots not like in this guy?

I'm still trying to figure out why teams didnt like Spoon? Now Spoon is playing as one of the better corners in tbe league.

Wow.

I did not realize that when I was putting it together. His name has that in it and I was throwing names out to SHORTEN what’s already in his name and how he sounded it out. Read what HE said.

The guy is aPacific Islander and I never talk like that. Ever. If you know me, I’m nowhere near that.

None the less. It was mistake on my part and in no way did I mean it to come out like that. It was incredibly insensitive and a total brain fart.

Sorry if I offended anyone. I own the stupid mistake.

[DelMar]

Thanks DelMar. I know where your heart is and that was NOT your intent. I appreciate the correction and please don’t let it bug you. You’re a good man and we all make mistakes… for me, I usually go back to my posts and cringe at my grammar

Roman Gabriel trivia at 3:10 —

Dodgers are in there earlier too.

Sorry if you didn’t win the season 2 dvd giveaway.

[Commish]

Reminds me of the time the rams had a Brandon Manumaleuna

Then there also was TE Michael Hoomanawanui and before him LB Pisa Tinoisamoa...

RAM SEASON!!

I understood him to be multiple descents. So again, I was wrong.

Anything else I can do to appease you new guy?

[katahajime]

I get everyone makes mistakes, but maybe slightly less snark?

Not new, just not a super frequent poster...

Snark?

Hmmmmmmm-k

Fella..., thats what I do in here. Key for me is to have a sense a humor about everything... I didnt realize what I had done, until Jerzy pointed it out (Thx Jerz).. But if you dont like my snark, then I truly sorry... But thats not going anywhere.

We all have things that bugs some, just move on and keep scrolling it the key.

I blew it, I owned it... Now, relax and enjoy this crappy season.

[katahajime]

Just corrected the incorrect info, as it was definitely relevant. Not the end of the world for either of us right?

You apologized. Solid. No further worries on my part at all.

From a football perspective, maybe this kid can usurp Troy Reeder. I like Troy, but if he ain't blitzing the A gap, he's a liability

People have missteps all the time. I sure have, especially at work when trying to be funny. I’ve learned the hard way to stay away from sarcasm. Anyway, the key for any of us is to really own our slipups and show that we’ve learned and grown.

That said, I’m looking forward to seeing if Fatukasi can bring it.
