LOS ANGELES -- When the Rams poured down the tunnel in their blue-and-yellow-gold vintage uniforms and emerged in the 90-degree California sunshine, a sold-out Coliseum crowd lsed a long-suppressed Sunday scream.After two decades of fan frustration and a year of anticipation building to this regular-season home opener, Los Angeles really, truly had pro ftball again.That was really, really cl, Rams quarterback Case Keenum said. I made sure, in the tunnel and as Im running out, just to lk around, to savor that moment and remember it. Im going to write stuff down, because I want to remember that forever.And since this is LA, the cathartic moment came with a West Coast touch: The Rams entered the stadium with Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, shirtless in yellow uniform pants, yelling their introductions to the crowd.The Rams hadnt played a ftball game that mattered in Southern California since Dec. 24, 1994, when they left Angel Stadium in Anaheim and moved to St. Louis.Returning in front of 91,046 fans ardently hoping this Hollywd sequel is better than the original, the Rams beat the Seattle Seahawks 9-3 in a game that made up for its tepid offensive performances with a thrilling late defensive stand by the home team, capped with a fumble recovery by middle linebacker Alec Ogletree.Those fans did an amazing job keeping us going, Rams defensive end William Hayes said. I cant lie to you, I didnt know it was going to be loud like that. It was so hot, but I couldnt even think about the heat with because they were so into the game.Not many pro sports franchises would chse their first game in a new hometown to wear vintage uniforms, but the Rams arent the normal new kids on any block.The jerseys arent the only throwbacks being sold this season by the Rams, who are rekindling the love of the nations second-largest city for a sport and a team returning from 21 seasons away.The Rams are still three years away from moving into their billion-dollar new home in Inglewd, and any LA fan with a television probably knows they havent had a winning season since 2003.If nostalgia is a big part of what these Rams are selling, theyre in the perfect stadium for it now: The packed Coliseum was their home for their first 34 years in LA, and the venerable home of the first Super Bowl was rocking once again.The tailgate parties began at dawn. West Coast rap and grilled meat aromas drifted among the fans gathered in the nearby parking lots and neighborhds for a ritual confined to college games in LA for the past 21 years.USC fans have kept the Coliseum busy on fall Saturdays, but the Trojans -- particularly their struggling teams of the past half-decade -- dont command the same passion in a town that lives for the biggest events on the grandest stages.Fans packed into the rows of seats near the famed Coliseum tunnel two hours before kickoff, cheering wildly for the Rams taking the field for warmups and bing the Seahawks -- even Richard Sherman, the star cornerback who grew up just a few miles away in Compton.The Rams hadnt played a real game in the Coliseum since a loss to New Orleans on Dec. 16, 1979. That Rams team still rallied for two road playoff wins to make the franchises only Super Bowl during its Southern California era.They spent the next 15 years playing in Anaheim before steadily diminishing crowds. Although Eric Dickerson created excitement with his record rushing season, the Rams lost some fan devotion in Los Angeles to the Raiders.Theyre all back now, eager to make new memories. Dickerson, the Rams greatest star of their Anaheim era, was surrounded by a crowd of bubbling fans as he walked around the concourse before the game. After the Chili Peppers show, six Hall of Famers -- Dickerson, Jack Youngbld, Orlando Pace, Marshall Faulk, Jackie Slater and Tom Mack -- gathered on the famed peristyle end of the Coliseum for a ceremonial lighting of the Olympic torch.After CeeLo Green sang the national anthem, the showbiz festivities continued during the game: Late-night talk show host James Corden performed with the Rams cheerleaders between quarters, his gut protruding rudely from his uniform.The crowd included Magic Johnson, several current Los Angeles Lakers and several more Los Angeles Kings. Even LeBron James watched with approval on the sideline -- while fans chanted Kobe! Kobe!By the time Ogletree jumped on Christine Michaels fumble to seal a win without a touchdown, scarcely anyone had left the Coliseum in a town infamous for its fans late arrivals and early exits.The fans were incredible, Los Angeles native Jeff Fisher said. They made it a tough place to play. Theyve been great since Day One of this thing.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL Larry Johnson Youth Jersey .

Adelaide coach Don Pyke is confident his players have the strength and focus to get the job done against Melbourne on Sunday; a day that also marks a year since the tragic death of Phil Walsh.The Crows will take a low-key approach to honouring Walsh, in accordance with the wishes of his family, and Pyke said his players would be able to separate that from the task at hand at the MCG.The groups obviously aware of the significance of the day, Pyke said.Theyll deal with it all differently, and theyre aware that theres support for those who need some support.But the groups also in a head space that theyre playing some really gd, positive fty and theyre lking forward to continuing that on Sunday.Pyke has done an impressive job since being appointed late last year in unnique circumstances.ddddddddddddHe praised the resilience of the players at the time and said that strength was still evident.History says that after going through an event like that there is almost a personal growth development that happens within the group, Pyke said.Its difficult to really put a finger on it as to what that lks like, but theres is a certain resolve, a certain bond that exists between the players.Some of that is through playing ftball together and some of that is through experiences. Unfortunately, the events of last year happened, but that does create an opportunity for growth.Walshs son Cy was charged with his murder. ' ' '
