Random Ramsdom: 7/8/2010

by Eric Nagel on Jul 8, 2010 12:05 AM CDT in St. Louis Rams news

As the days start to get shorter, football creeps closer and closer...Hopefully everyone is enjoying the sunshine (and if you don't have any, well, sucks to be you) and the warm weather. If you are normally stuck in an office building like me, then enjoy looking out the windows. Any who, here are some tasty morsels for you to sink your teeth into today:

In case you haven't noticed, the Rams are having a little competition to name their mascot. Personally, I'd love to see something completely out their like Quintonieus Xeglias or Fitzwilliam Hobbson Esquire. Just something that would bring more media attention, because nobody has a guy dressed up in a Quintonieus the Ram costume.
Don't count out Brian Westbrook signing with a team (the Rams?) later on in the year especially if he is trying to keep his body in good shape.
Sam Bradford expects to be signed by camp, but I guess his agent thinks they can get it done fairly quickly, because Bradford doesn't think negotiations have even started yet. No biggie.
Should the Rams jump in on the LBJ2K10 aka "the decision"? For those who don't follow other sports news, I'm talking about LeBron (Yeah, first names get two letters now I guess) James epic saga that is his free agent status. Apparently he's a pretty good football player and he certainly would have star power...
Ramsherd takes a look at the Rams Ultimate Franchise Ranking. Part 1 and Part 2. It's not like you were expecting to be a fan of the #1 franchise...right?
Ramsherd also takes a look at some ex-Rams who could make an impact on other teams. No Marc Bulger!?

That's all for today, hopefully you will enjoy it and as always, Go Rams!

LeBron James will choose the Heat.
I know this isn’t football news, but he is the most important person in the world, so I figured it would fit in with the Random part of the article. Also, to make it football related, this article that doesn’t really make sense.

Yeah

that second article is a stretch. I understand the viewpoint, but I don’t suspect that the LeBron fiasco plays into it that much. I’ve always felt more of a push by the NFL to keep things somewhat controlled.

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

Lebron to NYK

You heard it here first. Knicks will also grab Felton.

LeBron might be a good basketball player ...

… but he’s no man.

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

Don't you wish

in the NFL someone could grab a player an intstantly be a contender.

no

It dilutes the sport. The NBA is bullshit and feeds the notion that one man a team makes by marketing and the NBA method of refereeing which I call “on-court marketing.”

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.

I don't know why the NBA

even has a rule on traveling. They never call it, even if the guy takes four steps heading for the basket. I guess they figure it’s important to let him get his steps right so he can make the big slam.
