I have a ping pong story that relates to the Rams.  I played a lot of table tennis as a teenager.  I would beat all comers over and over again.  My friends improved as time passed.  But I continued to beat them again and again.  I would stomp them right-handed and left-handed.  I would spot them points, as many as 10, 15, and one time - 17.  I still won. Although right-handed, I would destroy them while holding a sandwich in my right hand while playing with my left.   Time went by and finally one of the guys got very frustrated and said, "I don't get it.  I swear I am as good as you, but you beat me every time.  Why?"

My answer: "Because you think I will."

The Rams are afraid they will lose.  They are afraid they will make a mistake.  Teams that win think they will win.  They KNOW they will win.  Then they make it happen.  Ping pong, anyone?
