14: Cleveland Rams - NFL
Manage episode 188622299 series 1414142
2017 is the 80th anniversary of the Rams joining the NFL. Most know the Rams are calling Los Angeles home for the second time in their history. However, what few know is that the Rams debuted in 1936 as the Cleveland Rams in the AFL. Yes, Cleveland was the original home for the Rams, but the team always struggled to attract fans; and after winning the NFL Championship in 1945 and with a new league – the AAFC, and a new team, the Cleveland Browns – about to debut, Rams owner Dan Reeves moved the team to Los Angeles just 27 days after winning the championship. Join Warren Rogan and the author of “The Cleveland Rams, The NFL Champs Who Left Too Soon”, James C. Sulecki for a fascinating look back at the history of the Cleveland Rams.
