…. but never die. I’ll always hate the Rams,

But sometimes the hate isn’t so hot. It’s just simmering right now because the Rams are currently such losers. They are the dog we love to kick.
But if StLouis ever gets their shucks together in the next few years, so that we’re both NFCWest contenders at the same time…. watch out, baby!

Actually, the Cards are developing as worthy rivals over the last few seasons. SF/AZ matchups have been tight, heated, and crazy games lately.
Diggin that.

The fact that they haven’t been in LA for so long, and the fact that they’ve been fairly bad the last few year, kind of takes the steam out ot the fire. I’ld say I have more of a mild disdain for them. The team I do feel us building a rivalry with is Arizona. Over the last few years, the games we’ve had with them have felt more intense.

do you stay “rivals” with a team if they go 0-16?

what about 1-15?

The hate is largely gone with them not being in LA anymore. My most hated team growing up was the Packers. Besides them knocking us out of the playoffs every year, they were my best friends favorite team (along with the Dodgers and Lakers,) completing my Tri-fecta of hatred.

old Hate list -

1 – Dallas Cowboys
2 – Green Bay Packers
3 – St. Louis Rams
4 – Seattle Seahawks
5 – Arizona Cardinals?
______________________________________________________________

Updated 2009 Hate List –

1 – Dallas Cowboys (site decorum)

2 – Minnesota Vikings (as of Sept. 27th, 2009 – all this season & as long as they have site decoruming Brett Favre, seriously, please eat site decorum and die – site decorum, I HATE that piece of site decorum)

3 – Arizona Cardinals (never used to actually hate the Cards, but it’s been pretty easy during our last 3 games with them)

4 – Seattle Seahawks (still kind of a good-natured hatred though)

5 – Green Bay Packers (ever since the 90s playoff games, site decorum those guys)

6 – Pittsburgh Steelers (now that their fans are boasting about 6 superbowl rings – they’re 6-2, we’re 5-0)

7 – St. Louis Rams (less and less of an LA team, and it’s just hard to work up hate for a team that’s trying really hard to be this year’s 08 Detroit Lions – their place on this list will probably be replaced whenever LA finally gets a new team)

New Hate List Candidate? – New York Jets (too many of the fans I know are always comparing Rex Ryan to Mike Singletary saying they’ve got their own “Singletary” too – and if the Niners prove the Jets are the reason Crabtree decided not to sign … and we don’t get the Jets first round pick next year …)

Old Hate List Candidate – Oakland Raiders (Al Davis is another thing altogether, but I mostly have just always thought the Raiders are funny – rivals? yes – hated enemies? they don’t really merit that

I listened Singletary’s interview on KNBR last night and I loved every bit of it. They asked him about the whole rivalry situation and mentioned the Bears etc. Singletary replied with the best reply you could give saying that he wants his team to treat every game like it’s a rival :)

1. Cowboys
2. RAMS
3. Cards
4. Vikings(As of last sunday)
5. Seacocks
6. Raiders
7. Steelers(They have more rings but I respect them more than most teams)
8. Bears

Even though both of my parents were born down there and their families moved to Northern California. I was raised to be wary of anyone from south of Fresno. I do have friends from Lala Land, though.
Anyway, my rivals would include:
Packers
Seaducks
Arizona
NY Giants
NY Yankees
Well, any team from the NYC Metro area
Raiders
The poor Rams. I hope they get better so we can feel even better about beating them.

now for over 20 years, I have hated teams most 49er fans wouldn’t with the exception of Dallas. I was stationed in texas for 6 years had to listen to Cowgirl fans, Hated it. I was stationed in the D.C. area for 6 years and had to listen to deadskin fans, sounded just like cowgirl fans, then I was stationed in Tampa for 4 1/2 years. Buccaneers (most replace the b with "F") not as bad as the other two, but god I got sick of hearing them say basically the same as the other two! Of course I always hated the Packers, and the Raider’s (started when they went to L.A.) and Rams. Just I have a real disdain for the first 3 I mentioned.

how you called Jim Everett “Chris” to his face after his pussy dive in the NFC title game

Two words “Jim Rome”. Does anyone else remember when Rome kept calling him “Chris” and Jim, responded with, “Say it one more time!” And Rome replied, “Chris” proceeded by a wimpy tackle of Everett taking Rome out of his seat?

I hated that team. I hated Kurt Warner and his receivers that always seemed to fall down and escape any contact.

i don’t feel any rivalry with the rams. i never did. even back in the day we had better rivalries with the cowdivas and the packers. now i’d say its the divas(i hope crab goes to dallas i swear lol) the cards, seahawks, and now the VIKINGS (this is the most painful loss we’ve had since the good ole days. i’m starting to think it’s a great thing we lost this game last week)
sing is going to bring the pain to the rams. rivalry? no. i actually feel sorry for the rams lol

He’s a douchebag and I always seem to get in a fist fight with him whenever I see him wearing his lambs jersey.

When you’re 4 years old and growing up in SF circa 1978 what does your life consist of? Seseme street, day care, yoga, hanging out with mom…how can a kid in that situation learn to hate? I remember the first time my dad took me to a 49er game and it was against the Rams. My dad explained to me that the Rams played in LA, the center of all evil in the universe and that their players were the scum of society. I remember a pick up truck pulling a full size gallows with a full sized, authentically uniformed Ram effigy sentenced to die by eternal strangulation. People wore their “Fourty Fucking Niners” starters to the game and didn’t worry about whether a four year old heard their curses of the hated rams. The evil Rams defeated the 49ers that day and I cried all the way home, than painted a star wars action figure to look like a ram player and burned it in my backyard.
