Los Angeles Rams of St. Louis of Anaheim of Southern California of Los Angeles County of Rick Astley of Los Angeles Metropolitan Area

In honor of this past Super Bowl, I wanted to share a collection of glasses that were recently unearthed from a family storage locker in Los Angeles, CA:



The Rams left the LA area for St. Louis following the 1994 and subsequently appeared in a couple Super Bowls, winning it all in 1999.  These glasses probably haven't seen the light of day in just as long, but let me tell you --- these are some fine drinking devices.  Stylish, deceivingly small (each glass is roughly the equivalent of one can of soda), and they make for good conversation material.

And just a random thought here: Farmer's Insurance recently forked over $700 million for the naming rights to a new stadium in downtown LA in an effort to bring the NFL back to the City of Angels.  I find it kind of funny that the health insurance industry claims to be "forced" to raise our premiums due to "rising costs," yet manage to mysteriously find a few hundred million dollars laying around to name a football stadium.  Just sayin'.
