2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the 1999 St. Louis Rams and their shocking runaway sprint to a Super Bowl championship. They went 4-12 the season before and had an offense that was as dull as any we've seen. No stars, limited talent, an embattled coach in Dick Vermeil ... and then, one year later, there's a Super Bowl parade down Market Street in St. Louis.
I had the thrill of covering every game, every play of The Greatest Show on Turf. Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Orlando Pace, Mike Martz and Coach Vermeil. I'll treasure those memories forever. From 1999 through 2001, the Greatest Show Rams had the NFL's best record (37-11) scored more than 500 points each season, and averaged an astonishing (for that era) 32.6 points per game. That team had four future Pro Football Hall of Famers, and a Hall of Fame head coach. And Torry Holt will join Faulk, Warner, Bruce, Pace and Vermeil in Canton one day.
We all know how the Rams' stay here ended: with a corrupt relocation process and bad people moving the franchise out of town. But the players and coaches who excelled for the Greatest Show Rams had nothing to do with the bad stuff that happened later. They just played ball, and gave St. Louis Sports fans a Super Bowl parade and memories that we will hold dear for the rest of our lives.
The St. Louis Cardinals will be honoring the 1999 Rams on Saturday, Sept. 21 before the 6:15 p.m. home game against the Guardians. A lot of great activities are planned, and a bunch of players from the 1999 team will be there including Faulk, Bruce, Holt, Mike Jones, Ricky Proehl and offensive coordinator Mike Martz.
