Brush with Greatness?

by Ryan Van Bibber on Dec 16, 2008 7:03 AM CST in 2008 St. Louis Rams season

Did Jim Haslett give TST a shout out, sort of, today? Haslett told what had to be a small group of interested journos (and they have to be there) today that he's doing his best to bottle up the job talk and stay focused on the next two games, which are sure to be firecrackers.

Among those he's opting to ignore:

The speculation and the newspaper articles, all the Internet stuff, I’m going to leave that up to you guys. Really, I’m just really going to try to take care of business and try to give our team the best chance of winning games. That’s all I can do.

The internet, eh? It's thin, but we're going to throw ourselves in on the "Internet stuff." Cheers to you. Chastened, cynical, yet still interested, your voices have been heard!

"Internet stuff."

Haslett

I have to admit that I like Haslett as well. He seems like a real straight shooter and you can tell that he cares about the team and wants to win. This season has been a mess and it definitely has to do more with the talent on this team than the coaching. We need the right people making football decisions and I think Haslett is one of the good guys. I would have no problem with the Rams bringing him back for next season. That being said, I would understand if he wasn’t brought back if the Rams lose the last two games making it ten in a row to finish the season. It will be hard to survive that.

Haslett's ear is ours

I’m sure he reads TST daily. I think he may be a commenter too. Maybe Tackle Box? He did post this recently…

Jay Zygmunt, fire yourself.
