Welcome

and thanks for posting here. Awesome of you to reach out to the fans, we appreciate it. As for a place to eat…I live in Phoenx, so I can’t help you there.

w00t!!

Welcome aboard Kevin!!

Can’t wait for you and the rest of the team to take the field in August!

Very happy to have you aboard.

I can take a beating ... I'm a Rams fan.

Welcome to the rams, Kevin! Hope you are ready to make the highlight reel with some big hits and picks, dude! Can’t wait to get all these new players together and get rolling already! Feels like just about a whole new team…which I guess will happen.

As far as places to eat, whenever I am in StL, Rigazzi’s on the Hill is a must, Talayna’s in the Central West End for “St Louis” pizza, and my favorite is Pappy’s BBQ…I hate to give it away, but the secret on that one is out now.

Best of luck to you making adjustments to the new city, and look forward to seeing you on the field! Thanks for posting here, and look forward to any and all of your updates!
Best wishes,
mlm

Welcome!

Glad to see you here, and I hope you have fun and play hard as a member of the Rams. I know we’re all excited about the upcoming season.

One of the best places I was introduced to is JackSon’s. Fantastic steak sandwiches, and an appetizer called ‘Crunch ’n Goo’. Tastes way better than it sounds.

Looking forward to football season. All the best!

THIS year's the year. I hope....

What uppers!

Welcome from Cali, Payne! On this blog its all about perspectives, whether it be positive, negative, optimistic, pessimistic, or unrealistic. Each one one helps balance the site. It will be great to get the perspective of a player, a guy that is on the grass doing dirt. Someone that is not necessarily a fan, but rather a guy that does this for a living. I look forward to hearing from you. Dudes over at windy city had nothing but good stuff to say.
If you’re ever in Northern California, let me know and I can direct you to a couple good spots to pick up grub, otherwise I can’t help you in the Stl. Cheers!

Welcome!

Now I can’t wait to get home. I’m blocked from YouTube at work (being a teacher isn’t all fame and glory apparently….) so I’ll have to check the vid out later.

Again, welcome aboard KP!

Kevin!!! Yes!

You gotta love a player actually taking these fan sites into account.

Now you’re one of my favorites instantly.

Thanks Kevin, good luck and I hope Spags brings the best outta you

by Option27 on May 4, 2010 12:54 PM CDT reply actions  

Fan favorite for 2010?

Kevin, even if you were a Warhawk back in the day, I gotta get behind you now. Enjoy the rest of the offseason.

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.

by 3k on May 4, 2010 12:58 PM CDT reply actions  

Very Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Kevin Payne hopefully you bring that last name to the other teams this year. First I want to say you play my favorite position in football and I’m not just saying that. Second big ups on doing this I’m sure a lot of the Rams fans appreciate it.

As far as places to eat Talayna’s most definently here is the link from google maps:

Also if you can let us know which pizza is better STL or Chicago? Myself love both styles depends on what Im in the mood for thin or thick. Almost every Italian restaurant on the Hill and you should be good to go.

by BurnoutJoeB. on May 4, 2010 1:09 PM CDT reply actions  

Thanks! hopefully you can help give us a players perspective on the team from time to time....

I think the Rams are going to surprise alot of people….Im officially condoning the pick of Sam Bradford(Keenum your still my boy!)….after hearing reports that Brett Favre is not going to play again, I instantly thought of the state of the Vikings team….Assuming T. Jackson takes over as the starting QB this team goes from playoff lock to question mark….This made me realize how important the QB position is and that teams can no longer stack 8 or 9 in the box against SJ39 with Bradford at the helm…..im looking for Jackson to have the best year of his career and lead the Rams to a respectable season…..with Hasselback, Smith, and Leinert starting alongside Bradford in the NFC west this division looks like its up in the air…

yo i won't believe he's retired

until he isn’t in the lineup for the 1st game of the 2010 season

Welcome Kevin

It is great to have an actual RAM on this team. Really
look forward to hearing more from you.

Awesome!!

Now that’s a change of pace. A player signs with the local team and reaches out to the fans. Now that’s down to earth. I’m in SoCal Kevin. I’ll send you a friend request on Facebook. Maybe when youre in San Diego you can swing by my pad. My wifes grub beats anything you will find at any restaurant!! We’re only about 90 minutes from Charger-land!

Go Rams

Welcome to the Rams, K-Payne

BTW, who is Sam Brafford? You might wanna get a drink of water before your next video. Also, it’s time to upgrade that TV. Other than that, I’ll be looking forward to seeing you post on TST more often as the season progresses. It means alot to us fans when you can take a moment to visit us here, since not all of us have the opportunity to visit you guys at EJD on Sundays. Especially us who don’t live in the STL area.

Have fun getting to know the city. Looks like you have a bit of time to play until OTA’s startup.

hey kevin

thanks for posting here. i can’t tell you how cool it is to have an actual player communicating with fans like this. it’s not often the blogging world gets to experience this. good luck man and i can’t wait to see you play!

Welcome from Ireland!!

Hey Kev – welcome to the Rams. Fair play to you for taking the time to get in touch with us fans. It’s a classy gesture on your behalf. I don’t know about places to eat in St Louis but if you’re ever in Dublin give me a shout and I’ll hook you up!

Alright Kevin!

Here’s to watching you deliver the PAYNE on Sundays!

Thanks for reaching out to us fans. You’re all class.

Welcome from H-Town Kevin

Sure dont wanna kick a dead horse here, but it sure is refreshing to have a player reach out to the fans. Thanks from all of us at TST, You seem like a stand-up guy, & we cant wait to see what you can bring to the table for our young Rams team. Hope you CRUSH a few SHEhawks, 9ers, & Cardinals for us this year, & help bring some passion to our D. If you’re coming to Houston sometime, I’d be glad to point out some places to grub. See you on the field thanks to NFL Sunday Ticket.
