Woe and 4

Rams fans everywhere were pleasantly surprised by the start the team had in yesterday's game. 

Then the second half started, and just like last year, the Rams played two very uneven halves. Just look at the disparity in rushing yards for Steven Jackson between the halves. Another thing to remember is that Buffalo got off to a slow start against the Raiders last week, actually having to again come back in the 4th quarter. (That's a bad sign for them).  

Today is all about watching the Rams front office. Head coach Scott Linehan will in all likelihood be fired. Will other moves accompany that? The Rams need to close the book on the Linehan Era - even Tiki Barber said on NBC last night that he's lost the players and needs to go. But the problems are more systemic than the head coach. Linehan's a symptom. So is the lack of talent of this team that kept them from holding their lead and getting blown out in a single quarter. 

We know Linehan's a goner, but the change needs to be made in the front office too. Rosenbloom knows this. The Rams new owner has to either find a buyer for this team or hang onto it and make money. He can't do either one with the state the Rams are in now. 

Stay tuned. Could be a wild day.

New Owner

It is hard for me to understand why you think Rosenbloom would be unable to find a buyer with the Rams in their current state. It seems to me there would be a lot of people interested in straightening out the mess themselves and who could bring together the rescources necessary to purchase the Rams.

you and i would love to do that

but most billionaires don’t know much about constructing a front office and only want to make money on their investment…

I don't know,

I think a lot of sports owners look at their teams as a toy rather than a serious investment. And what could be more fun for many of them than fixing a broken toy?

small but loud minority

steinbrenners, jerry jones, dan synder, al davis are owners that want to meddle.

i’m not sure there are so many so-called “new” owners that are in the same vein.

At least those guys own everything

Well, except Al Davis (I think). Steinbrenner, Jones, and Snyder all own their own facilities (all though a question could be made about them owning their own faculties………rim shot please). They don’t send the bill to the taxpayers and that is what has built strong fan relationships with those teams.

Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.

Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

i think he would

but to get the price they need to clear the inheritance tax hurdle. and i’m basing that on word that Rosenbloom is not inclined to hang on to the team

Bring in Dick Vermiel as President or GM

THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT PIC FOR THE RAMS, Vermiel is the right guy to rebild this team, as GM he and the coach he hires will draft together and make the right mooves to bring the Rams back to respectability
