Pics from the Bruce ceremony.

by Chupathingy on Nov 1, 2010 6:29 PM CDT

Hey Rams fans, as I mentioned in a post a while back, I had gotten season tickets to the Rams this year and was able to go down onto the field for the Isaac Bruce retirement ceremony. I said that I would try to get some pics to post up here for you all, so here are some of the ones that I got.

Sorry that some of the pics are a little blurry, there were a lot of people jostling us trying to get pics and some of them didn't turn out as well as I hoped. Here are some of the better ones I got, hope you guys enjoy.

Bradford and Feely getting in some practice snaps.

SJax and the other backs doing a hackey sack type thing with the football.

Some of Isaac's teammates while he was with the Rams. They didn't announce names so I'm not totally sure who all was there.

More of the teammates.

The coach, Dick Vermeil.

Bruce's old OC, Mike Martz.

Isaac Bruce making his way down the fan tunnel.

Isaac and his wife, daughter, and mother as they made their way to midfield.

Great Sunday.

Atogwe and Bartel doing the Bob n’ Weave at the end of the game after OJ’s pick was just the icing on the cake of what was a great day for Rams fans, one penalty I didn’t mind, though I was mad it was actually called. You can tell they look up to Bruce though. That day had a very ’99 Rams-esque feeling :)

Take the leash off of the offense pleeeeeeease.

Signed, Rams fan.

OJ picked off Moore in the final minute and ran in back to the one.

He leaped into the endzone but he was out but still, it was nice. Then he and Bartell ran to each other and di the Bob n’ Weave and the refs threw 2 flags right away lol, it was awesome.

Take the leash off of the offense pleeeeeeease.

Signed, Rams fan.

You obviously don't remember

the celebration the Rams used in 1999 whenever they scored a TD. Six or seven guys would get in a circle in the end zone, they would all kinda crouch down, and they start pumping their arms in rhythm while swaying back and forth. It’s hard to describe, but the other teams got so bent out of shape by it (especially Jeff Fisher and the Titans) they got the league to outlaw it. There can’t be any planned celebrations by more than one man on the team when a TD is scored. I like to think of it as the “sore losers” rule.

thanks man

i wasn’t able to watch rams games in 1999 and actually became a fan after the Superbowl loss to the Patriots.
i’d love to see it, i have yet to see it on the games i have watched on youtube…

is there any way we could get a petition to put the fun back in NFL and stop stupid rules like excessive celebration penalties?

its something for the fans to enjoy seeing a team celebrate… a lot of people love OchoCinco PURELY for his celebrations…

They don't call the NFL

the No Fun League for nothing.

I can’t remember, did the tape of the 1999 season highlights ever show the bob and weave end zone celebration?

here's one

i tried to find one, but the only way i could was by watching the ’99 Rams/49ers game at STL….

link – i linked it straight to the TD, but if you want to watch the full game go here

thanks

it doesn’t look much like a boxing bob n weave… lol

but it’s quite cool, camera angle was quite poor lol

is it possible to actually start this petition?
if we get it across SB Nation?

Awesome stuff

Thanks Chupa!

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.
