Last minute decisions can often make the difference in Fantasy Football. This is especially true going into week one. who do you start, who do you sit…who do you take a chance on. With only preseason to base this decision on, rookies are often left out of the mix.To make this decision blindly for all […]

Danny Amendola could be primed for a 100-catch season, and fantasy PPR gold. The regular season kicks off Thursday night which means…FANTASY FOOTBALL IS UNDERWAY! It has been a while now since the Rams and Fantasy Football have had anything in common other than Steven Jackson. Unless you were a pure homer and reached late […]

The lockout left us all yearning for football of any kind. The preseason wet our appetite for “real” football. And cut day, where teams trim the final fat off of their rosters, lets us know we are mere days away from melodic voices of Joe Buck and Jim Nantz filling our living rooms. Preseason is […]

Not only can he make plays with his feet, second-year QB Thaddeus Lewis is a fundamentally sound thrower starting to come into his own. Coming into tonight’s Rams-Jaguars game Thad Lewis knew he was playing for a spot on the roster. That much was true. However as the game progressed just which spot he was […]

Danario Alexander just makes plays and that’s all. Coming off of a seven win season where the Rams found themselves one win from the NFC West title and a playoff berth a major question lingered heading into the offseason. Where are the weapons for franchise QB Sam Bradford? This question seemed to overshadow the glaring […]

The second game of the preseason is in the books and the Rams are off to a 2-0 start. Preseason is preseason, but fans and coaches will take it. The Rams put up sixteen fewer points against the Titans this Saturday than the previous week against the Colts but came away with the win. As […]

It has been a month of firsts. First practice, first scrimmage and finally the first preseason game. Since the Rams 33-10 dismantling of the Colts last Saturday a lot of accolades and praise have been thrown around. Granted it was nothing more than a glorified scrimmage but for a fan base thirsty (see what I […]

Preseason is officially underway. Even if one has not seen a game or has been living in a cave the last few months this weekend left no doubt that football is back. You need to do nothing more than turn on ESPN, NFL Network or any other program this morning and you’ll see an analyst […]

I look forward to once again turning on my TV on Sundays without dread…better yet with actual excitement. Since roughly 2005 this has been nap time for me. Last season was much better yet still every game carried anxiety along with the anticipation. This year I expect more excited anticipation and less anxiety. Now I […]

The Greatest Show on Turf. The Bob ‘n’ Weave. Anyone, Ram fan or not, alive at the turn of the century remembers these phrases well perhaps more importantly, remembers who is responsible for them. Faulk was both the driving force behind the football renaissance that took place in 1999 and it’s most lasting memory. […]

Ahhh the Honeymoon period. Anyone who is married, engaged or has even dated someone knows this period well. It is that time when everything is rose-colored and perfect. Annoying habits haven’t yet surfaced, expectations are high and you cannot imagine how they would ever let you down. That is how I feel about the first […]

Soooo…the premise of today’s post was supposed to be what approach the Rams are going to or should take when Free Agency opens tomorrow. Yeah, that’s not going to happen. As our town’s Mike Shannon so famously once said, “you have to get up pretty early to try and sneak sunshine by a rooster.” I […]

What was once a weakness for the St. Louis Rams is steadily becoming one of their strengths. Spagnulo and company still have work to do but coach Spags’ defensive pedigree is showing. After years of just flat out blowing high draft picks on defensive busts the likes of Claude Wroten, Jimmy Kennedy(bust at least for […]

With the lockout still looming large over all of our heads. Rumor and speculation about when it willend seem to pop up every day from some “well connected source”. In the midst of the excitement about a possible end to this bleak offseason one thing seems to remain lost amongst the collective conscious of fans […]

A wiser, or at least more famous, man than I once said that any publicity is good publicity. What I took away from this is that if you’re in the news, for whatever reason, you’re alive, you have a pulse…you’re relevant. This hasn’t been the case around Rams Park since their 8-8 2004 playoff season. […]
