The Rams suck.  You know it.  We know it. The Rams themselves?  Eh. Not so much.

Marshall Faulk knows it though. Faulk expressed his feelings in the Sporting News:

“[The Rams have] earned the No. 32 spot (the last spot in the league).  It’s well-deserved.  The Rams are more worried about firing their trainer and equipment manager than they are worried about the coaches responsible for the play on the field.  That says a lot.  When the first offseason move you make is to fire your trainer?  Perfect.”

The Rams first move this offseason was to fire the long-time and well-liked trainer Jim Anderson.  It is just another step in the checklist that Rams’ coach Steve Spagnuolo and GM Billy Devaney have to scrub everything and everyone in Rams Park that was around before them.  Other steps included taking down photos of the Greatest Show on Turf teams and failing to invite any player alums to help the coaching staff.

Needless to say, this has rubbed former Ram greats that hate seeing their team going 1-15 the wrong way.

To quiet of the complaints, Spagnuolo has announced that he is creating a “Pro Bowl Wall” at Rams Park to celebrate current and former Rams that have made the Pro Bowl, which by the way is the weakest of all All-Star games and is such an honor that half the team drops out of the game every season.

We also hear that right next to the Pro Bowl Wall will be Spagnuolo’s new Turd Polishing machine.

We’ve given Kurt Warner a hard time in the past and we still don’t fully understand the people that are so wrapped up in Warner-love that they seemingly forget about just how bad he was at the end of his Rams’ career.  However, Kurt Warner is seemingly a great guy that has had a great career (though not hall of fame worthy) and made the rarely seen choice to end it on top.  Sure he got rocked repeatedly and got whooped by the Saints, but Warner was a solid quarterback this year on a good team.

Don’t be sad though St. Louis, we have no doubt Kurt will be all over the place sooner rather than later. He’ll be on Fox Sports or NFL Network chatting it up, or maybe even have his own late-night tent church program!  We’re hoping at some point he’ll even end up riding shotgun on Becky Queen of Tile’s magic carpet.

But the best thing about Warner retiring?  We don’t have to hear the Hy-Vee stockboy story anymore!

Here’s the ESPN story.

We’ll talk about this on Monday.

TMZ is reporting that there has been a claim filed in Las Vegas against the Rams All-Pro running back stating that during a 2009 argument…

“Steven became enraged and pushed me to the ground, repeatedly.”

“forcibly grabbed my arm and flung me against the door. I was crying and trying to protect my stomach from the blows, as I was 9 mos pregnant.”

and “continued to shove me against the door until his nephew … interceded and yelled, ‘uncle, she has a baby, stop.’”

A mere 10 days after the alleged beating, Jackon’s then girlfriend (she left him 4 months ago) gave birth to their son.

The two have more legal history as she is filing to get him to pay child support.

We have nothing but love for SJ39 recently, but this is even a little true, this is about as messed up as you can get.

TMZ is investigating and we will see what we can dig up as well.

I don’t care if you don’t like football.  If you missed Kurt Warner getting rocked on Saturday in his playoff loss to the Saints, then you missed one of the year’s biggest hits.

Let’s see…do I have video of this…oh!  I sure do.  Bam:

After being awaken from that blow Warner he apparently thought he was a spy for the Saints in the third quarter and then after being taken out in the fourth he briefly thought he was Ming Li, a Vietimese prostitute.  It sounds weird, but I heard he really helped the team lift…ahem…their spirits after the tough loss.

But, will he retire?

“A big hit like that makes you think twice about playing this game,” Warner said lightly.

Warner said he plans to get away for a while and talk over his future with wife Brenda. He has one year remaining on his contract.

“I don’t think it will be a long and drawn-out process,” Warner said. “I think it’s something I will discuss with my family and inform the organization about what I plan to do as soon as I have time to think about it.”

Some of the ESPN “insiders” say that sources close to Warner say he will definitely retire this off season, while others later on in Sportscenter say he has one more year in him.  You see, that’s why you can never win against ESPN.  They are always right!  Their plan is perfect!  Take that Fox Sports!

We already talked about this, but we found the video and just had to share.

Turns out after this incident occured the Rams said it was all on purpose!  They claim the two fans signed up for something called the “Rams Quaterback Experience” which entails you getting badly hurt while an actual Rams offensive lineman watches.

Only the Rams could start a new “Fan Appreciation Day” and in the process, injure two fans while going for stinky gear from a stinky team.

Two “fans” fell out of the stands on Sunday while reaching for shoes that were tossed in to the stands by Rams players.

One left strapped to a gurney, but apparently Coach Spags seemed to think both fans were not seriously hurt at the press conference.  You know because they just use gurneys for things like scraped knees and boo-boos.

Hmmm.  This might explain a lot with the Rams injury situation this year.

Good news everyone!  Because of their complete and total suckage, the Rams have managed to grab ahold of 2010’s #1 draft pick!

Oh yeah…they lost the game vs the 49ers though.  Totally got killed.

But now we have the #1 pick in the next draft, which is huge, because we really haven’t done all that well with the #2 pick.  Chris Long?  Eh.  We’ll see.  Jason Smith?  Ditto, though he was screwed up by the Rams bizarre choice to not play him right away and when they did, play him at a foreign position.

This year though?  The Rams’ pick is all but a formality.  Ndamukong Suh is a stud at a position the Rams need help with: Defensive Tackle.

I know what  you are saying: “Woah dude.  We need a quarterback…and a wide receiver.  Pick those!”

True, but Suh is a stud and despite Coach Spags’ past work, he might just not be able to squat out a good defense wherever he goes.

Turns out the secret to a good football team is “good players.”  Yup.  I know.  Total face palm.  Really should have guessed that.

In that vein…here’s to you Ndamukong Suh!

For your wayback-moment of the day, here’s the original.

Those last three dumb-ass penalties that Rams Guard Richie Incognito earned in his last game as a Ram cost him $50,000 in fines.  When asked about the fines today, Incognito had this to say:

“With the fine of 50 grand, I would have gladly paid more to get out of that situation in St. Louis,” Incognito said Sunday after the New England Patriots beat the Bills 17-10 in Ralph Wilson Stadium. “So I chalk it up to that.”

Nice. Yeah, like everyone sucked but you huh?  New teammates love to see that kind of attitude.

In case you were wondering, “Captain Dipshit” started Sunday for the Bills and promptly committed three more penalties.
“The way I approach the game,” Incognito said, “my intensity level and the way I play on Sundays, not one thing’s going to change. The foolish penalties and the selfishness, that has changed and it’s going to continue to change. That’s something I’ve been working on for a very long time.

Judging by your last comment, it seems you have a lot to work on.

At least everyone on the Bills thinks your #1!  Oh wait.  I think thats the wrong finger…
