Scorched-Earth Rams

So, my beloved St. Louis Rams made a couple changes. They fired their whole coaching staff. This means that Jim Haslett (my personal pick) will not be the head coach. A total scorched-earth policy.

But, I remain cautiously optimistic. The rumor is that Leslie Frazier (defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings) is the fave candidate. Here's hoping he does a great job! All he has to do is win 6 games, and he'll have won more victories than the last 2 seasons combined.

The actual photograph above is Jim Haslett. Sorry it didn't work out coach. I was pulling for you.

Rams Finally Win!!

I like the way the Jim Haslett era is beginning in the STL. My beloved Rams finally won their first game of the season. Last season, they took until Week 9 to get that 1st one.

The game came down to a final field goal by Josh Brown. It would have been an easy 33-yarder. But Richie Incognito decided he needed to start using profanity with the officials, and make things interesting by getting a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct and backing the Rams up 15 yards.

This isn't the 1st time I've had issues with Incognito. I've long felt that he's a hothead who puts the Rams in bad positions. Coach Haslett needs to cut him and send a message. If this is indeed a new Rams attitude, then Coach Haslett should make Incognito into Persona Non Grata.

In the pics, the top one is from the STL paper. The middle one is Josh Brown out of uniform. The bottom one is Coach Haslett walking by. Clearly, the bottom 2 are NOT professionally taken. They're from my cell phone, and were taken after the Rams-Bills game a few weeks back in the STL.

Vacation Pics- Rams vs. Bills

This one requires a bit of an explanation.

See, my dad and I are involved in a little father-son project. Since we both love football, we've decided to make it our goal to watch a game at every NFL stadium. It's OK if we don't see the Rams at every stadium. True, this means giving money to both the Arizona Cardinals and the New England Patriots. But I figure, if we eat before we go to the game, we don't have to give them as much.

Anyway, the 1st installment of this project was 9-28-08. The Buffalo Bills played my beloved but really-sucking-right-now Rams in STL. Enjoy the pics!

What Was The Holdup?

Ahhh...'tis the season to be training. I'm just glad that my beloved St. Louis Rams signed their 1st-round draft pick, Chris Long. He's the son of NFL HOFer Howie Long. I just am wondering what the holdup was. At least he didn't hold out.
