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 like a sure touchdown run for stud Falcons running back Michael Turner, Bartell did not give up on...

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 to make it all into a coherent column.
Thank you St. Louis Rams fans!
Because today's game...

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 1-12-1 in 1962, when they didn't even play a 16 game schedule! To be fair, the Rams have two...

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 more games? The vast majority of Rams "fans" checked out weeks ago. Doing so certainly would...

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 Kurt Warner, who has thrust himself into the MVP conversation, at quarterback. Of course...

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, when your kicker's performance is consistently the high point of your team's performance there...

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 Jackson, Will Witherspoon, Corey Chavous, Tye Hill, Leonard Little, Orlando Pace, Richie Incognito...

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 up 35, but they were all in the first half. The safe money lies with the pride of linebacker Brian...

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 the 49ers, but both coaches are similar in that they bring their former styles of play into their positions...

... 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 during the early stages of the game. On their first drive, the Cardinals drove the length of the...

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 to consistently create more opportunities; the potential return of running back Steven Jackson would...
