Rams Ink Former Ravens QB Kyle Boller

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 12:17:45 -0500

The St. Louis Rams decided that Gus Frerotte was not the right fit at backup quarterback, so they signed Kyle Boller to backup QB Marc Bulger. Kyle Boller at this point is not a quarterback to challange Bulger for the starting job, but will provide a quality backup and has starting experience. Not great starting [...]

Arlen Specter Is Bored

Wed, 14 May 2008 22:45:36 -0500

Now I hate the Patriots as much as the next guy, but COME ON ARLEN!!! Do you really have nothing better to do? I somewhat understand the government going after steroids in baseball as drug use in major league sports has had a negative influence on our youth. I'd hardly put "spyg...
