AT THE TIME OF THIS DEADLY
CRASH.
SA
SANDRA?
JUAN: I WILL TAKE IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT.
A BIG DAY FOR THE L.A. RAMS THE
TEAM GETS FIRST PICK IN THE NFL
DRAFT TODAY.
KCAL 9'S DAVE LOPEZ IS AT L.A.
LIVE WHERE A BIG DRAFT PARTY
WILL GET UNDERWAY SOON.
DAVE?
WELL, JUST OUTSIDE WHERE THAT
PARTY IS GOING TO BE, OVER MY
RIGHT SHOULDER YOU CAN SEE
MICROSOFT THEATER, THE STREETS
ARE BLOCKED OFF, THEY ARE
PUTTING IN SCAFFOLDING, YOU HAVE
TO HAVE A SPECIAL BAND TO GET IN
THERE, SPECIAL CREDENTIALS.
THE L.A. RAMS ARE DOING THIS IN
A BIG WAY, NOT ONLY ARE THEY
BACK HERE IN TOWN, BUT THEY ALSO
MADE SOME GREAT TRADES, AND THEY
HAVE THE NUMBER ONE DRAFT
CHOICE, AND THAT WILL HAPPEN
JUST AT 5:00 IN CHICAGO.
AND EVERYONE IS EXPECTING THEM
TO TAKE THE BIG KID FROM CAL,
THE QUARTERBACK, HERE HE IS IN
ACTION.
LET ME MAKE A CORRECTION THAT I
SAID AT 11:00, I SAID WHEN HE
WAS A FRESHMAN, THEY WERE 0 AND
11 AT CAL, PLEASE FORGIVE ME,
THEY ACTUALLY WON ONE GAME, THEY
WERE 1 AND 11.
TO ALL THE ALUMS, I DON'T WANT
TO TAKE AWAY THAT VICTORY.
THAT'S WHAT GOT HIM ON THE MAP
IN THE FIRST PLACE, THE FACT
THAT HE WAS SO GOOD ON SUCH A
TERRIBLE TEAM AND THE FOLLOWING
YEAR THEY WON FOUR GAMES AND
LAST YEAR THEY HAD A WINNING
RECORD.
SHE IS EXPECTED TO BE -- HE IS
EXPECTED TO BE THE NUMBER ONE
DRAFT CHOICE FOR THE RAMS.
THERE IS ALSO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN
CAMP LOOKING AT A SECOND
QUARTERBACK.
HE IS FROM NORTH DAKOTA STATE.
HE ALSO COMES WITH TREMENDOUS
CREDENTIALS, AND THERE ARE SOME
PEOPLE THAT THINK MAYBE HE WOULD
BE THE BETTER DRAFT CHOICE, BUT
THE CONSENSUS FROM RAMS PEOPLE
AND EVERYONE THAT WE'RE TALKING
TO SAYS IT IS GOING TO BE GOFF
AND THEN HE WILL GO NUMBER TWO
WITH THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
PERHAPS.
AND OF COURSE THE RAM FANS WILL
BE HERE IN BIG NUMBERS.
I SEE A COUPLE -- COUPLE OF THEM
AROUND THE CORNER TRYING TO
SNEAK IN EARLY, BUT THAT'S NOT
GOING TO HAPPEN.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SIGNS OR
IF YOU BELIEVE IN KARMA OR
WHATEVER, THE LAST TIME THE RAMS
DRAFTED A QUARTERBACK FROM CAL,
HE GRADUATED FROM NEBRASKA BUT
HE STARTED OUT AT CAL AND THEN
TRANSFERRED WAS VINCE.
HE HAPPENED TO BE THE LAST TIME
THE RAMS WERE IN THE SUPER BOWL,
HE WAS THE QUARTERBACK IN 1979
REPLACING THE INJURED PAT HADEN.
THE RAMS ARE BACK IN GRAND
STYLE.
THERE WILL BE A PARTY TODAY.
EVEN WHEN THEY WERE HERE BACK
FROM 1945 UNTIL THEY MOVED OUT
20 YEARS AGO, THEY NEVER MADE
THIS KIND OF FUSS WHEN THEY HAD
A NUMBER ONE DRAFT.
THEY HAD A LOT OF THEM.
BACK TO THE STUDIO.
THANK YOU.
