St. Louis Rams

The National Football League's St. Louis Rams play in the Western Division of the National Football Conference. The franchise won Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000 and has appeared in two other Super Bowls.

In June of 2009, Rams' owners Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez reportedly contacted the investment banking firm of Goldman Sachs to assist in selling their ownership of the team.ESPN.com: Report: Rams Owners to Sell

Early in 1995, long-time owner Georgia Frontiere allowed the team to be moved to St. Louis, Missouri. Five years later, in 2000, the Rams won their first Super Bowl (Super Bowl XXXIV) on the shoulders of quarterback Kurt Warner and the team's high-powered offense. The Rams also made it to Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002, but lost to heavy underdogs the New England Patriots, kickstarting a Pats dynasty.

The team originally formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1936 as the second team to join the American Football League. The following season, team founder Homer Marshman was approached to join the NFL. Marshman paid the entry fee and initially brought over just four players to start his new NFL franchise.

In 1945, multi-positional player Bob Waterfield joined the Rams, leading them to the NFL championship game. The Rams defeated the Washington Redskins 15-14 to win the title.

Following the 1945 championship, the team relocated to Los Angeles. This was also the same year that the league became racially integrated. The Rams signed the first two African-Americans ever to play in the NFL, Kenny Washington and Woody Strode. The franchise went on to win another NFL championship in 1951, defeating the Cleveland Browns.

Following a Super Bowl loss in early 1980, the team moved to Anaheim, California, but did not change its name. The Rams continued to play in Anaheim for the next 15 seasons.
