NFL’s NFC West (’07) — NBA’s Atlantic Division (’06)

It’s time to huddle up, guys, and devise a plan to tank the season. The St. Louis Rams are 0-4. They look an awful lot like the 2006 Boston Celtics of the NBA. Alright, maybe they don’t, but let’s picture it. The Rams are in the NFC which is equivalent to the NBA’s Eastern Conference. [...]

Neither team will be representing their respective leagues [...]

St. Louis Sports — Decimated?

Pure and simple: The St. Louis Rams stink

As I expected since 12:01 AM on Monday morning, I thought to myself — Oh, hey, I bet my favorite NFL team will most likely drop to 0-3 this week. No Tye Hill, still no Fahkir Brown, Tinoisamoa would probably be out, and something would just go plain wrong. That plain wrong business came throughout [...]

Smelling Fishy in Utah

I’m a couple of days late posting about this, but give me a break; I haven’t had time. But what’s up with Utah Jazz disgustled Forward Andrei Kirilenko? He spends six seasons in Utah; plays well for the most part. Then he spends a couple of months overseas playing for Russia. He then tells the [...]

Settling it to rest: Steven Jackson is not the Rams’ “Terrell Owens”

Many idiots around the web are posting on message board forums that Steven Jackson is the “new” Terrell Owens of the St. Louis Rams. I’m going to make this post condensed and concise only to explain differentiations. If you guys who are saying this TO mock stuff, and you didn’t even watch the game, quit [...]

The live blog is beginning pretty soon. The Rams are getting ready to flip a coin, transpire through a kickoff, and play another 60-minutes of craptastic football.Over and over again they have contradicted my thoughts that they would win time and time again. My confidence has been hindered for now. My new approach talking about [...]
