Respect for Roethlisberger

I’m not anywhere near to being a Pittsburgh Steelers fan whatsoever, but last night quarterback Ben Roethlisberger displayed a skill-set that many players have (but most that do choose not to use it in its correct form).
During this season and last season, I’ve been angered by Marc Bulger’s calm, collected and tranquil attitude towards his [...]

Why am I Still Investing my Time on Sundays?

It’s not a question that I’m blatantly asking you. More of a mental question that I’m asking myself. It’s simple: why am I still investing my time on Sundays during the NFL season? I like to figure myself as a die hard St. Louis Rams fan. I like to take in the team’s play every [...]

Same Ol’ Sorry Rams

During the first half of the Buffalo Bills/St. Louis Rams contest in St. Louis, the Rams looked like men among boys. The offensive line was playing better than it’s played since the 2002 season. Steven Jackson was carrying the entire Buffalo Bills defense on his back. And Trent Green was standing cool and collective in [...]

The New Hierarchy

You know you’re at the top of the NFL when the only thing people can say to deign you is that “Randy Moss is your number one wide out!” or “you knew defensive signals!” That was how Tom Brady lived life as pro football’s Golden Boy, up until eight minutes into the 2008 season.
Who’s that [...]

Magic is More Real Than Ever

Not sure about why I named the blog title “Magic is More Real Than Ever,” but bear with me here. I watched today’s Jim Rome is Burning and during his Final Burns, he mentioned how Kimbo Slice punched David Blaine in the gut, and Blaine didn’t flinch (well, he did hop back a whole lot, [...]

Throwing in the Towel

The St. Louis Cardinals have practically thrown in the towel for the 2008 MLB season, losing games left and right (they have lost seven in a row recently) and are 14 games back from NL Central lead. However, let’s look at the positives:
Starting PItchers:
Kyle Lohse (13-6 3.89, 176 IP, 99 K):
Not signed by anyone until [...]

An In-Depth Explanation

I apologize for not writing extensively long blog posts lately, but I’ve had many things to do and a strenuous life to live, and that’s why my time has been completely encompassed by tasks for the last few months (since June). I know that TSTOS has gone under since, but it’s buoying. Another reason I [...]

Greatest Show in the Desert

I don’t like the Arizona Cardinals a bit, but Kurt Warner I can tolerate, only because he’s one of my favorite former Rams of all time, and was a sequential member of the Super Bowl XXXVI team and 2001 NFC Conference team. He anchored the greatest offense the NFL will ever see (please, don’t bring [...]

A State of Pathetic Atrocity

After watching Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles pick apart my beloved St. Louis Rams yesterday afternoon, I’m ready to muse on the rest of the NFL world.
– Tom Brady was injured yesterday afternoon after he took a shot in the knee by Kansas Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard. Pollard was knocked down by a Patriots [...]

0-16? Here Come the Lambs!

Considering if they play the rest of the season the way they played today, the Rams could be an 0-16 team. No, they should be an 0-16 team.
– I had faith in Marc Bulger, but today he refused to look downfield, whereas receivers could have been open. I think the man has taken too many [...]
