Random Ramsdom: 8/30/2010

by Eric Nagel on Aug 30, 2010 1:20 AM CDT in St. Louis Rams news

Preseason week three seems to be the week of injuries in the NFL. How do they solve that? With an 18 game schedule of course! That way, teams would have lost players at the start of the regular season, you know, when injuries really matter and all that.

Onto the links for today:

Grievance or not, you can be sure Antonio Bryant is doing two things: enjoying the 8 million he received from the Bengals and looking for a new team to make even more money. The Rams should sign him, because his knee isn't as bad as Avery's. Great reasoning.
A few days old, but worth a look again. The Rams had a video highlights headline on NFL.com. A video highlights headline. They are sooo going to the Superbowl.
Slightly newer, but if you haven't checked out what is what like on the Patriots end to get shellacked by the helpless Rams, you probably should.
Ramsgab reviews the QB play, and the RB/TE play of last Thursday's game.
Bryan Burwell. STLToday.com. Sam Bradford: The Future is Now. I didn't make any of that up.
Hey, VT, here's another article on Danny Boy. Or should I say, White Chocolate?

That's all for today. I tried to overreact, I really did. But it's tough when the game is on a Thursday and not a Sunday. Regardless, Go Rams!

Not only did the Ram's hightlights headline nfl.com, it was labeled "King Sam".

Lol White Chocolate

I like that.

I used to upload the NCAA Football '09 and '10 rosters into Madden and always drafted Sam Bradford onto the Rams in Franchise Mode...I liked him before he was cool =)

Reminds me of Mr. Whitefolks

from American Pimp

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.

Indeed

A lot of players play with nagging injuries as it is. 2 more games is going to be very tough on them. And later on in life – when they hit middle age and start feeling the weight of past injuries.

And yes, owners who basically do nothing, feel they need more of the money than the players do.

i kind of agree

Like there aren’t enough injuries. Now we are going to prolong their season? They aren’t race horses. We can’t just run them as hard as possible to milk as much money. They are trying to say it is because the fans don’t like preseason but I call bs. The only thing I don’t like about preseason is that it only gives you a taste of your starters when we are all craving season to begin. That should be a good thing in the NFL. Gaurantee alot more seats have been sold in Sep 12 opening game solely based on last weeks positive play.

agred

The one thing these guys don’t need is more games per season. I love watching, but I’m much more cognizant of their long term injuries than before.

lol it is hard not to be as a Ram's fan

We, if anybody, know all too well what injuries can do to a team.

McCourt's that own Dodgers are doin it too

Divorce, financial rape court, pain.

GSW do it by getting rid of its best players (and highest contracts) every off-season.

So, ya, fans should be outraged.

I would think they would have to have some kind of adjustment to the rosters...

perhaps you could carry an extra number of players the first month of the season or something like that…then have to get down to 53 by Oct 1 or so. I don’t blame the players for being concerned about the injury factor.

by tbell61 on Aug 30, 2010 8:55 AM CDT reply actions

Agree..

If you ask me if I want more football? My answer…hell yeah!!! But the injury factor is valid, so hopefully things can be done to accomadate the factor.

18 Game Schedule AND American Debt

Revenue needed for high costs of society.

Fans (taxpayers) will be asked to pay.

What happens when fans say NFL games cost too much.
Players are over-paid.
Etc.

I laughed when a player, when asked his feelings about the extra 2 regular season games, said, “it is a matter of whether I get paid for an additional 2 games.”

C’mon ya’ll, we all like sports but I am kinda wondering when fans strike back for the greed that entertainers are entertaining with.

No different than the current economic crisis.
