LATEST STORIES FROM RAMBLINGS
huSTLe
Although the St. Louis Rams finished out their 2008 season with a 31-27 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, much can be taken away from this final contest.
- Rams cornerback Ron Bartell made a play that every football coach at any level references at least once a season. On what looked...
One More Time
In a lot of ways, the 2008 St. Louis Rams season has been the most depressing sporting experience of my life. That is saying a lot considering the fact that my college football team (which I played on for two seasons) was 9-31 during my four years and I passionately followed my girlfriend...
Blackout Leads to Gut- Wrenching Afternoon
For my game summary this week, I am trying a new format (for me, not new to the world); the "running commentary." I watched yesterday's Rams/ 49ers game with my friend Ben, wrote out all my observations and comments as we took in the action live. This is my attempt...
Barney
Barney Rubble?
Trouble?
Yup, the Rams are in Barney.
Quick, tell me the last time the St. Louis Rams, heck even the Los Angeles Rams, finished a season with a 2-14 record?
Wait for it... wait for it...
That's right, never.
The closest this franchise has come to 2-14 was...
Woe Is Me
This cry can be heard from every corner of Saint Louis.
This jewel of the midwest is beating its collective breast in agony because the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team is missing out on some big name free agents. Oh, what's that you say? The St. Louis Rams still have three...
JD's Keys; St. Louis Rams versus Arizona Cardinals 12.7.08
Key #1 - Stop the Bleeding. The 2008 Saint Louis Rams defense has been able to stop very few opponents from imposing their will, this week looks to be no different. Hardly anyone in the NFL has been able to impede the offensive vehicle of the Arizona Cardinals being driven by a rejuvenated...
TGFJB (Thank Goodness for Josh Brown)
As callous as it sounds, I have never been one to respect and/ or honor kickers very much. But seeing just how often Josh Brown has been called into duty and responded has created in me a great deal of gratitude for his, and the service of all kickers. Now, as I have said before...
Hopelessness
As the Saint Louis Rams drag themselves towards the conlusion of the 2008 season sporting a 2-9 record with five games remaining, one wonders, how can anything positive come of the rest of this campaign?
The answer is simple and yet complex. Jim Haslett, Marc Bulger, Torry Holt, Steven...
JD's Keys Week 12; Rams v. Bears
Key #1 - Where's the D? It certainly seems odd to implicate the Chicago Bears in this discussion, but as of late, neither of these teams have demonstrated the ability to stop opponents from scoring. The Bears surrendered 37 points in a blowout loss last week; the Rams only gave...
JD's Keys Week 11; Rams v. 49ers; The Toilet Bowl
Key #1 - Linebackers-Turned-Coaches Square Off. Two interim, fiercly passionate, ex-NFL linebackers will be coaching the St. Louis Rams and San Francisco 49ers in today's game. Jim Haslett of the Rams has not dropped his pants in a motivational ploy, a la Mike Singletary of...
Dead in the Water
At just what point in a blowout victory does the game shift into that magical realm known as "garbage time?" Although most starters were still in the game at the start of the fourth quarter, this game had been decided about midway through the first half as the St. Louis...

Check out my post about the Rams/Jets tilt on the New York Times online NFL blog, The Fifth Down!

NFL Picks
After coming to the halfway point for most teams I have decided that my NFL Picks section is just a waste of space on RAMblings, and frankly of my time. Maybe if I am one day blessed with a general NFL column, such a feature would fit perfectly, but right now I will focus more attention...
... And the Beat(ing) Goes On
The Saint Louis Rams have fallen to 2-6 after dropping their most recent contest against the division rvial Arizona Cardinals who, subsequently, improved their tally to 5-3.
While the final score of 34-13 is certainly disheartening, the Rams actually looked as if they were in control...
JD's Keys and Week 9 NFL Picks
Key #1 - Offensive Play. Read that first word as: the portion of a football team that is meant to score points and matriculate the ball down the field or, conqsequently, what the St. Louis Rams lack of said production has created; either way you'd be right. The Rams are hoping...
