Wow, what a game. It may not have been the prettiest St. Louis Rams win ever, but it certainly was the grittiest. Notwithstanding all of the things that did not go well for the Rams, they still found a way to pull out a victory over the hated San Francisco 49ers. I realize that many Bradford bashers are all over him for failing to score a touchdown, but I plan to write an article this week suggesting it may have been one of his best game in the pros.

Patrick Willis Proves You Must ‘Trust Your Power’ to Accomplish Great Things in Life (Video)

That’s what the San Fransisco 49ers get for being greedy

Alex Smith (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Now if you have listened to my show at all in the last two weeks on the BTR Network (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/letstalknfl), you know exactly where I am about to go.  The whole benching Alex Smith this late in the season for basically a rookie is just asinine.  Now I am not an Alex Smith fan by any means, but common sense is common sense...
