WR Dez Bryant to enter 2010 NFL draft

No surprise here, but the former Oklahoma State WR has officially announced his intention to be among the top WR prospects available in this year's draft. The NCAA suspended him for the rest of this season, thanks to an ill-advised meeting with Deon Sanders. 3k's latest mock draft had the Rams drafting Bryant.

What we have here is a strong leader as a head coach. Him and our GM (Billy Devaney) have a vision and there's no grey areas. They tell you this is where we're headed. Even if you dislike it, it's no question that he knows what he's doing. That makes the road easier.

He led all Rams tacklers with seven tackles this past week and had a pass deflection in their first win this season over Detroit. Despite the Rams' struggles, he has been all over the field making plays with his exceptional motor and ability.

And Spagnuolo definitely has to improve in some areas, including game management and in coaching up his assistants. (I don’t know if this is a good staff of assistants; a couple of people I respect in the NFL tell me that it isn’t.)

The PD's Bernie Miklasz on Spags. The behind the scenes talk about assistants is interesting. Hmmm...

Next Sunday's matchup between the Rams and the Detroit Lions will be one for the history books (no, seriously). Both teams have lost 17 of 18 games and 25 of their last 27. And if the Rams go 0-16, and it would make this game the only matchup in NFL history between a team coming off a win-less season and a team on its way to a win-less season.

The Rams-Colts game and our next game, against the Lions, was the subject of a recent story at Inhistoric, SBN's community for sports history.

Quincy Butler fined $7,500 for horse collar tackle

So just to recap, a horse collar tackle on Percy Harvin will cost you $2,500 more than a cheap shot after the play that takes out a DT for the season. The logic of the NFL is tough to understand by the normal human mind...

The NFL has fined Minnesota offensive tackle Artis Hicks $5,000 for unecessary roughness for shoving St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Gary Gibson on a play that ended Gibson’s season with a broken ankle.

Yay?

If Rush Limbaugh becomes part-owner of the St. Louis Rams -- which I'm told is not even close to happening right now -- he may want to do something about the organization's political leanings. According to politico.com, no NFL team in the past 20 years has donated more money to the Democratic Party than the Rams. Politico reported in September that the Rams had given $230,050 to the Democrats, or 98 percent of the franchise's total political donations. That would mean that in 20 years, the Rams have given about $4,600 to Republicans. That's not even enough for a 30-second spot on Limbaugh's national radio show.

That's when the three bids to purchase the St. Louis Rams have to be "committed," i.e. the money has to be guaranteed.
