Mr. Ram has left the Building

Isaac Bruce is my third favorite [hybrid] Los Angeles/St. Louis Ram of all time. I’ll always remember him for the game changing catches he brought down, the quiet leadership that he ensconced in his own game and the game-winning catch in Super Bowl XXXIV.
Today, the Rams released Ike. (As well as Gus Frerotte)
Not counting his [...]

Talkin’ Shaq and Kidd’s New Teams

(NOTE: My doc told me to stay home for the rest of the week and the weekend and return to all labor work on Monday. I’ve been sick since this past weekend, but the severity never reached its pinnacles until this morning at round 2-5 AM. I couldn’t even freakin’ move from my bed because [...]
