It’s Oscar season so we’d figure we’d hand out awards for the best and worst Rams of the 2015 season. We’ll also present a lifetime achievement award, to Elroy “Crazylegs” Hirsch who, perhaps more than anyone, established the Rams as Hollywood’s team. We’ll take a special look at the 1953 biopic, Crazylegs, in which Hirsch portrayed himself as well as examine some of his lesser roles. 

Joshua Neuman is joined by Tunisha Singleton and special guest, former L.A. Ram All-Pro kick returner and Inglewood-native Ron Brown on this episode of The Greatest Show on Grass.

The Greatest Show on Grass: Los Angeles Rams podcast that celebrates the present-day NFL team against the backdrop of its rich and little-known Hollywood past. Hosted by Los Angeles-based writer, filmmaker, and Rams chronicler Joshua Neuman, The Greatest Show on Grass connects on-the-field analysis with broader conversations about pop culture, politics, gender, and race as it explores a football franchise that’s been as interesting off the field as on it. The Greatest Show on Grass is also a love story between a team and a city. As one prominent sportswriter wrote a half century ago: “The Rams find themselves as much a part of the scenery [of Los Angeles] as the Hollywood Hills, the subject of more newspaper space than the atom bomb, and an object of civic concern second only to smog.” Long before the St. Louis Rams of 1999-2001 were The Greatest Show on Turf, the Los Angeles Rams were The Greatest Show on Grass.
