Re: Ron Yary
One of the greatest offensive tackles of all times. Did you know that he was briefly a Ram, although he does not appear on a football card as a ram. He is one of the tricky rams to get when listing all "Rams" in the hall of fame (sort of like james lofton)

Wow, there's a great name from the past. It seems like a lot of the "old guys" are really nice.Comment

In my never ending quest to organize my sports memorabilia collection, my rams football cards are broken out into four basic categories. HOF, Semi stars, owners/coaches/announcers and commons. I will be posting the HOF category and also, the semi star category for input from the group.
I acknowledge that a lot of this categorization is personal preference as we all have our favorites. Some of my categorization is impacted by longevity as a ram. As a general rule, if the guy is in the nfl hall of fame, he will be at the minimum in the semi star category for any card on which he appears in a rams uniform. Thus, tommy mcdonald and night train lane, each of whom only played for the rams for two years, are semi stars. I think its tough to consider a guy an all time great ram (and thus a rams HOF'er) if he only played two years for the team. As a general rule, not true in every case, you need three years as a ram to be a semi star and four years to qualify as a HOF'er. Note also that active players are kept separately, thus, you wont see any of them on these lists (i still have faulk as an active ram, at least for now).
A very much look forward to your input along with feedback on anyone you think i might be missing completely. I have not made the final run through the all time media guide yet to see if i want to add guys, i thought i would start with the most knowledgeable rams source of all, this board.

In an attempt to find joy in a season that is rapidly heading down the toilet, I repeat my post from a while back. Does isaac bruce look finished to anyone? Truly an all time great ram and a guy heading for the hall of fame. I hope he never leaves us.

Does anyone know anything about Mike Burke, from 1974 season? Where is he today, recent photos...etc...A new neighbor moved in and he insists he is this person. The only thing I can match up are the birthdates. His story of dad being PGA Masters champ I have concluded is a lie....the guy is giving me the creeps and just bought the house next door. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks-06-01-2009, 07:27 AM
