Beauty » when the Rams skipped town

IRVINE, Calif. Fake Vapormax 97 . -- Technically, the Los Angeles Rams game Saturday with the Dallas Cowboys is just a preseason opener at a temporary home for a relocating team that hasnt made the playoffs in 11 years.But that temporary home is also the teams traditional home, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where theyll play as the host team for the first time in 36 years, giving the day huge sentimental and symbolic importance for fans.Im really ecstatic to see my team back on the field in LA, said longtime fan and local native Dan Salcedo.For now fans have to watch a rebuilding Rams team, though with reasons for excitement including explosive young running back Todd Gurley and No. 1 overall draft pick quarterback Jared Goff, who for now will back up starter Case Keenum.The young players have been getting the Hollywood treatment already.The teams training camp is the focus of this years Hard Knocks on HBO, which had its red-carpet premiere this week.Hip stars like rapper Kendrick Lamar visited the team at training camp, and their games are likely to become a new version of the Lakers sideline for celebrities.Their jerseys, hats and stickers have begun flourishing on store shelves and car bumpers alongside Lakers and Dodgers gear, and tens of thousands have already watched the team at camp.Unlike Brooklyn when it lost its Dodgers, or Cleveland when it lost its original Browns, LAs famously relaxed fans didnt shed many public tears when the Rams skipped town for St. Louis.But that doesnt mean the Rams didnt leave a hole that theyve now begun to refill.I was heartbroken when they left, said Salcedo, 40, who wore an old-school Rams Jack Youngblood jersey as he attended a team scrimmage at the Coliseum last week. When they announced they were coming back I was ecstatic.There are also plenty of young fans who never knew the LA Rams, many of whom are just as excited as the old-timers at the new-old franchise coming to town.Refugio Gonzalez, 26, who lives in nearby Pomona, is feeling especially lucky as he adopted the team based solely on their merits back in 1999 while they were in St. Louis.I turned on the TV one day and they were playing the Titans in the Super Bowl, Gonzalez said at the scrimmage. They won, and the next season I started following them and fell in love with the team and the players. Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner, Tory Holt, Isaac Holt. The Greatest Show on Turf. Ever since then I started following them, became a big fan, cant miss the games on TV and now they are here in Los Angeles. Having the opportunity to come see them in person, its an awesome experience.Itll be a seasons worth of sentimental games at the Coliseum, where the Rams will play until their state-of-the-art new home is built in Inglewood. Plenty of former USC players and coaches, including Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, will get to return to the Coliseum, which the Trojans call home.The Rams played at the Coliseum -- and won four NFL championships there -- from 1946 until 1980. They then played their next 15 seasons at Angel Stadium in Anaheim before moving on to St. Louis in 1994.The Cowboys are a fitting opponent for the homecoming. They have a typically large following in a town that has lacked an NFL team, they have long held their training camp in Southern California and owner Jerry Jones was among the NFL power brokers who most strongly fought for returning a team to the LA area.Im so grateful for the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Salcedo said. He was an engine to bring the Rams back here to LA. Im grateful for them, but Im an LA Ram fan. Were going to beat the Cowboys. As far as the first game of the season, were going to rock.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vapormax Clearance . PAUL, Minn. Vapormax 95 Clearance . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.clearancevapormax.com/cheap-v...-clearance.html . To the surprise of many, it isnt the Wolverines but their in-state rivals the Michigan State Spartans. MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Memphis star guard Mike Conley apparently is a very fast healer.The Grizzlies upgraded Conley from out to doubtful on their injury report Thursday night, less than three weeks after he broke bones in his lower back, an injury expected to keep him out at least six weeks. The Grizzlies cleared some roster space by assigning rookie guard Wade Baldwin IV to their D-League affiliate, the Iowa Energy, and waiving veteran guard Toney Douglas who had been signed under a hardship waiver.Memphis also announced that rookie forward Deyonta Davis will miss up to eight weeks after tearing the plantar fascia in his left foot Tuesday night in a loss at Cleveland.If Conley returns at any point before Dec. 26, he will beat the Grizzlies original estimate of when the guards injury would be re-evaluated.The Grizzlies announced Nov. 29 that Conley would miss at least six weeks after being diagnosed with broken bones on the vertebrae of his lower back. Conley, who signed a five-year, $153 million contract in July, was hurt Nov. 28 during a loss to Charlotte taking a charge from Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. He went down hard on his back and stayed on the court in obvious pain before leaving the game.He might have some company in returning to the court.The Grizzlies listed guard James Ennis III as probable against Sacramento after an injured right calf has kept him out since he strained it Nov. 21.Chandler Parsonss, the Grizzlies top free agent signee this offseason, was upgraded from out to doubtful. Mens Fake Vapormax. Parsons has played only six games for Memphis, but the team said on its website that he has progressed from rehabilitating the bone bruise in his left knee to practicing.Memphis is 7-2 without Conley, including wins over Golden State and Cleveland within the past week. Douglas was a big help coming off the bench in seven of those games averaging 5.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists after being signed Dec. 5. The Grizzlies (18-9) currently are fifth in the Western Conference.The Grizzlies host Sacramento on Friday night, Utah on Sunday and Boston to wrap up their current home stand before going to Detroit.This wouldnt be the first time Conley returned quickly from an injury.He turned in one of the gutsiest performances in NBA playoff history in 2015 after taking an elbow in the cheek during Game 3 of Memphis first-round series with Portland. Conley needed two metal plates inserted surgically to repair broken bones around his left eye and missed three playoff games before returning to score 22 points and lead Memphis to a dramatic win in Golden State.Conley helped Memphis take a 2-1 lead over the eventual NBA champs in the Western semifinals until that injury took its toll.
