Random Ramsdom: Thanksgiving Edition

I hope everyone finds a reason to be thankful today! If you can't, just remember you aren't Lions fans. That should be thankful enough if you can't find anything. Jumping into the stories:

Here it is almost at December, and Mark at Ramsgab has a look back at the season opener. Two very different teams facing off this Sunday.
Bernie at STLtoday thinks Bulger was the unlucky transition QB. Do I feel sorry for him? Yes. Is it his fault? No. Should it have happened? No.
Sound off: STLtoday columnists talk about Null. In short, they feel like saving his football life- by not playing him.
Sando has an injury update. No big names. Only the small fries like Jason Smith, Mike Karney and some bum named Steven Jackson. Pssh, like we need them.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thansgiving everyone!!!

I’m going to be real infrequent this weekend. I’m pretty much in the 20th Century as far as technology goes (parent’s house) so I’ve got a very inconvenient Internet connection.

I say “inconvenient” because I have to get in my car and sit in the parking lot of the public Library to get online…..

So, here’s to everyone eating to their hearts content and for the Rams to win this weekend! And I’m not even sure I’ll get to see the Rams this week. Last I heard, there were still 8,000 tix to be sold and now that I’m down here in Rams country, I think I may be blacked out.

Go figure.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

?

Quick question, why the Lions jab? They kind of have more victories than us this season. Just struck me as odd.

We beat 'em, that's all I care about

Happy Thanksgiving, TSTers!

Best moment I've ever seen at a Cards game in person
Looking forward to Cardinals baseball in 2010!

Lmao, I agree...

…but it’s kind of hard to talk smack to other teams the way we’ve been these last couple of years.

In any case, Happy Thanksgiving!

It's not like the Rams are shoved down the Nation's throat every Thanksgiving.

The League insists on not breaking from tradition (even thought they’ve done exactly that in every single other aspect of the game) when Detroit hasn’t fielded a competitive team in decades.

They changed up Monday Night Football and Sunday Night Football to get optimum matchups (although I’m not real positive what they’ve accomplished with MNF) yet they can’t bear to take the Lions away from their annual ass wiping they put on for the entire country every year.

That’s why the shot. And it’s deserved.

It has nothing to do with the Rams and our record (which I think has been better than the Lions the “last couple of years”……barely, but better). It has everything with having to watch that shitty game a few hours ago. Shit, I watched more of the “Thanksgiving in Vermont: Bob Newhart Show Marathon” than I did that “football” game.

At least Bob Newhart is entertaining.

We've been bad the last couple of years

try 50.

I believe in 2010

I see both your points...

…but shouldn’t the shots be taken at the league for insisting on such things?

Just saying, it’s Thanksgiving! No need for it! Let’s be thankful for what we have and not how we don’t have the misery of others. Say SJax? Or OJ? Jason Brown? James Laurinaitis?

That’s all I meant. In any case, hope you’ve all had a great Thanksgiving. Go Rams!!!

Happy thanksgiving people

Eat more than you should, drink as much as you should, and enjoy the day.

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.

Its a Thanksgiving day miracle

I just played Madden 10 online, as the Rams, starting Keith Null. A couple days ago I played 5 games as the Rams and one all of them. A sign of hope for the Rams, or a testament to my Madden awesomeness? The world may never know. Anyway, I played with Keith Null against the Chargers. Keith Null finished with a 104.8 Passer rating, completing 13 of 20 for 65% with 233 Yards, 5 Tds and 2 Ints. Jackson had a pretty normal game 21 Carries for 133 Yards, and catching 3 balls for 60 yards. Null must be the future, Madden knows all. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Can't think of a good sig

I beat the saints 55-21

before that game. Too bad Madden isn’t real.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Because there’s a big difference

just got back

from my turkeybowl. threw 2 tds, caught 2 tds, and had a pick 6. i wonder if the rams would sign me to the practice squad? (regardless of the fact that i feel like my body went through a meat grinder).

happy t-day.

I'd be impressed

if those two “caught tds” were on the same plays as the two “threw tds”.

Btw, I’m not sure how old you are, but I used to do that shit all the time when I was younger. And while I’m only 34, I feel the effects every single day of all the contact sports (organized and back yard variety) I did back then.

Wow!

You have always sounded pretty mature. I would have thought you were older. I’m 74. Can I call you Kid?

by Knoxfan on Nov 27, 2009 1:12 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Please do.

I teach in a school where I’m pretty much the oldest person on staff (there are a couple of custodians older than me). I’m not sure if the Principal is older than me but I’m pretty sure I’m the oldest teacher and I’m definitely older than the Asst. Principal.

The article on Null

Had some quotes that I read weeks ago, so it may not be completely accurtae by now, but if some of the things the newspaper weenies said were true…Null isn’t ready Becuase of his small college spread offense, that the Rams aren’t as high on him as people think and that he only got comfortable taking snaps from Center in October….I have to think this may have been simply a wasted pick with no benefit to the team at all.

I’m thankful I didn’t pick him, I guess
