New Orleans ? Sure, the Rams know winning Super Bowls is what pro football is all about.

Then again, no matter how successful these LA transplants become, there are some things they’ll just never experience in St. Louis.

“One game, I ran an out route, I got pushed out of bounds and I knocked Telly Savalas on his butt,” former LA Rams receiver Jack Snow said. “I got up. I said, ‘Oh God, I just killed Kojak.'”

Only in LA.

Now a radio broadcaster for the team, Snow played well before the Rams became Super Bowl regulars. He was there when owner Georgia Frontiere shared her team with Hollywood, and the Rams were a shimmering collection of big-name players who entertained the stars, and mingled with them, too.

St. Louis? LA? Maybe location isn’t everything, after all.

As fate would have it, the Rams didn’t become The Greatest Show on Turf until after they left the Left Coast and relocated to the Great Midwest in 1995. It turned out to be a great move, but when they made it, skeptics said it was like trading in a huge scoop of double fudge for a small spoonful of vanilla.

“I was pretty bitter at first, because I didn’t think there was any need for it,” said all-time leading Rams receiver Henry Ellard, now a receivers coach for St. Louis. “But then I came back, and I realized how caring the front office is about this organization. I don’t think you could ask for a better situation than the way it is now.”

The Rams are seeking their second Super Bowl title in their six seasons in the city with the arch. They made one Super Bowl appearance a 31-19 loss to Pittsburgh between 1966-94 in Los Angeles. Before that, the LA Rams won one NFL title, in 1951.

Receiver Issac Bruce is the only player left on the Rams’ roster who was with the team in Los Angeles. It’s yet another sign of how much has changed since Frontiere packed up her team and headed East.

By then, the colorful owner had been burned by her decision to move the team from LA to Anaheim in 1980. Wins became scarce. The Raiders moved in across town. Crowds dwindled.

“It was about what you see in here right now,” Bruce said, as he pointed to the near-empty stands at the Superdome on Super Bowl media day.

“LA is just on a different level,” Bruce said. “It’s come late, leave early. It’s always been like that, for everything. It was a whole different experience. It’s something I miss, but I’m glad to be in St. Louis now.”

The vintage Rams played at the Coliseum from 1946-79.

The names and images are indelible: The Fearsome Foursome. Elroy “Crazy Legs” Hirsch. Roman Gabriel. Jack Youngblood playing the Super Bowl on a broken leg. Those playoff mud bowls against the Vikings, almost all of them losses.
