Well VanRam was looking for some help contributing to the TST, and alas here I come to save the day, cape and all.
As you all experience the cabin fever of the NFL off-season, barely tolerating the itching urge to fire up your grills for a tailgate and bust out your blue and gold face paint, I hope to provide some solace in the coming months and perhaps a little insight into NFL matters. While I'll mostly be providing links to the latest stories and commentary until the NFL season starts, I'm also a statistics nerd and will be doggy-paddling through the sea of numbers in search of an interesting story or two of my own for you.
When I'm not writing on here from my outpost in Washington DC (born and raised in St. Louis, however), ending world poverty, or slaying dragons, I tend to do the following:
- Play water polo. I played Division I for my first two years of college and now play on a master's team. Most of you probably don't know what water polo is, but it can be summarized in 5 words: hairy men wrestling in Speedos.
- Argue politics/philosophy. I currently live in Washington, DC. If you don't follow politics here, there's not much to talk about. Oh yeah, besides this guy.
- Listen to music. I love all types of music, so send me anything good and I will definitely take a listen. I'll even listen to the reggae-metal-pop demo you made on your cell phone's voice recorder in your mom's basement.
As the young gun on the TST, I've still got [some] optimism about our boys on the Rams that many of you jaded veterans lost sometime between 2007 and 2010. I am very excited to be provided the opportunity to write for you all and I hope you enjoy my contributions. Let me know if there is anything of particular interest to you as well and I'll try to cover it. If you want to find out more about me, feel free to follow me onTwitter or Facebook.
Huddle around the fire for some good discussion, rally, and fight the good fight! Go Rams!

Hello!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the board sorry can’t think of anything clever to add, at least not at the moment.
Welcome aboard.
I hope you brought your helmet and an extra suit of thick skin.
I can take a beating ... I'm a Rams fan.
Welcome.
I’m not a Rams fan but yeah. Welcome. I’m from Niners Nation, if I say anything offensive just attribute it to the fact that I hate you.
Just kidding, to the last part. Welcome and what not. (am I allowed to welcome a writer to a blog I don’t frequent as a fan?)
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Welcome aboard, waiting to read what you have to write about the Rams.
As Midas said though, keep that suit of thick skin available ;-)
What?!?... There's not much to talk about in DC?!
You forgot about bashing Haynesworth and the ramping hype about John Wall, plus all the bandwagon Caps fans riding on Ovie’s coat tails. Regardless, it’s nice to see there’s another Rams fan in the DMV.
Welcome BG
and i thought water polo guys shaved…for speed that is.
