Nice job rookie(subtle pat given on the back side). However, one game- a season does not make. Redskins' rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III's week one numbers are undeniably amazing. 320 yards passing, two touchdowns and no interceptions as Washington beat New Orleans 40-32. Plus, he dizzied Saints' defenders like a piñata at a 3-year olds […]

With the number of top-100 picks (six) and holes on the St. Louis Rams’ depth chart, perhaps the easier question is “Which rookies won’t start for the St. Louis Rams?” Head coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead did a tremendous job parlaying the No. 2 overall pick into a plethora of selections to […]

It’s time for our Annual-Pre-season state of Sam Bradford address. Sam Bradford is an elite NFL quarterback. Sam Bradford can’t stay healthy. Sam Bradford doesn’t have enough help around him.

It’s clear that the St. Louis Rams and the city’s Convention and Visitors Commission remain miles apart when it comes to what it will take to upgrade the Edward Jones Dome to a top-tier NFL stadium.

When the Rams drafted neither, many fans freaked out. Perhaps this was all too familiar to the ways of one Billy Devaney. Well this is a different regime. Rams […]
