1. Rams’ Steven Jackson vs Cardinals’ Albert Pujols

The two faces of their franchises and two nice guys, beating the hell out each other.  Should be awesome.

Winner? Pujols. Steven Jackson is great, but Pujols never loses.

2. KMOV’s Virginia Kerr vs KTVI’s April Simpson

There’s history here, which will make this a sellout for sure.  Some would see this and think this is some testosterone-fueled idea to see to chicks brawl and they’d be right, if they thought I wanted this to be in bikinis, which I don’t!  I want this fight in the fancy “you should trust me because I’m non-threatening” outfits. Yup, this will be one classy fight.

Also note that this one would have to be in jell-o.

Winner? Virginia Kerr in an upset! She just seems scrappy.

3. St. Louis Rams vs Mizzou Tigers

Sure the sane sports fan in us says “The Rams may be 1-15, but they are still professionals and will wax the floor with a college team.” …the other side of me says “Prove it.”

Winner? Rams. It’ll be closer than it should be though.

4. Charles Jaco vs Adam Sharp

…wait. This one already happened and it was really really really gay.  Not like “I can’t get married because rednecks are scared of me”, but just like…you know…gay.

Winner? No one…or both.  Ties are confusing, They are both lame.  Did that clear it up?

5. Axel Rose vs St. Louis

First there was this…and now its the rematch of the century!  No, no no: F*ck you Axel!

Winner? St. Louis. Axel promises he will come back with a huge awesome new group of people to kick our asses. But we’re betting he won’t or even he does it will be like totally weak, and no one will care.

Rams running back / the only player that matters had some of the weight lifted off his shoulders as the Las Vegas police have dropped the investigation in to the claims of his former girlfriend that he beat her while she was nine months pregnant.

Investigators found insufficient evidence that Jackson, 26, attacked Supriya Harris of Mableton, Ga., in March 2009, Las Vegas police Officer Barbara Morgan said.

“Our investigation is complete,” said Morgan, a department spokeswoman. “I don’t think the time passage was a factor here. We contacted the victim, the accused and witnesses. There’s insufficient evidence to go forward with the case.”

Morgan said the case will be closed, and that records relating to the investigation would not immediately be released.

Though there is still the matter of the clivil case, this is a huge deal for Jackson who, to his credit, has handled this well stating in a release that it was no guilty of the crimes and the process would speak to that.  So far so good for Jackson and, in turn, the Rams.

In a related story the Rams are terrible.

Steven Jackson has responded to the heinous charges by his ex-girlfriend and mother of his son to TMZ:

The St. Louis Rams running back just released a statement to TMZ saying, “It’s disheartening that I have to address any alleged allegations 10 months later, but I have read the accusations made by Supriya Harris, and they are untrue.”

Jackson continued, “The accusations are especially hurtful because those who truly know me know that those actions would be out of character for me.”

Jackson acknowledged that Harris is the mother of his son, and described the boy as “a son that I love and that I willingly support emotionally and financially.”

Our thoughts? None of this crap is true.

First, beating the hell out of a pregnant girl is something thats so messed up that is usually comes out in the wash right away, not 10 months later.  Only furthering suspicions that this is all bull is the fact that he is already in a legal scrap with Harris about child support.  Sure would help her case if he looked like a pregnant girl beating meanie.

Lastly, wouldn’t this be something the police are interested?  We think so…except if there isn’t any evidence. Granted the Las Vegas police will probably open an investigation on this if it gets enough press because someone is always up for re-election, but if there was something real here, wouldn’t have there be work on this oh say, when it happened, not 10 months later?

Yes, if this is true, even a little bit, it would be bad for St. Louis and the Rams so I have a built-in slant. However, we have never heard even a single bad story about Steven Jackson so until some actual hard facts come to light we are on Team Jackson.

Also we hear that sometimes “bitches be trippin’!”

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.

We love it!

Rams running back Steven Jackson tweeted out his love for “Ernest Saves Christmas” while hanging out at teammate Mike Karney’s house last night:

Do we love this so much because we can’t think of a better celebrity pairing than Steven Jackson and the late Jim Varney, or just because its nice to know SJ39 can take a moment and forget what team he plays for?

Answer: Both.

Steve Jackson couldn’t help but laugh at himself over seeing this old clip of him in his college years surface on Twitter:

In the video Steven, with then roommate Lawrence Turner, opines: “A lot of guys brag about their George Forman Grill, well I have the next best thing, a sandwich maker.”

You still using that sandwich maker Steven?  Maybe on the bye week, I can come by and have some sandwiches?  I’ll bring the bread.

I’m going to take a wild guess and say the shoe collection is probably a little bigger now…oh and I bet he has a better fan too.
