other than the stadium and advertising there isn't much local about any professional sport's team
college makes much more sense

rams were in LA too, #80 was the last player to exit the league that was drafted by L.A. rams
'cept like most athletes, he probably didn't give a shit what city his pay check came from and lived 500+ miles away from during off-season
i can't believe all those LA rams jumped ship and went to STL, what assholes
 
I don't remember there ever being much of a fanbase in LA for the rams. All I remember seeing was silver and black. If the Rams ever come back to LA, I'll jump ship and become a fan.
 
if i ever go to st.louis i'm not going anywhere outside of airport/stadium/hotel, take a trusted cab, station-to-station

big cities scare the fuck outta me and i've never heard anything positive about STL

if scranton/wilkes-barre picked up an NFL team, i'd probably support them as hard as a #2 favorite team deserves

here, we're not-so-honored to be host of yankee's AAA and penguins top level farm squad

i'm just not a big enough sport nerd to give a fuck about those teams and their seasons

in high school i've been to a sold out 'white out' playoff game, pens won, it was fun as fuck, loud collective positive energy gets me wet, would consider again
free tix req'd

but as it stands i just can't relate to sport's patriotism

sometimes i just hate what i don't understand, don't act like you don't
 
all any of us can ask for is that our team's are not eliminated from play-off contention after week 15

even if just hanging on by a thread
 
^ our team is are? :)

what's your prediction for the rams' playoff destiny? either sf or stl is going to be 1-3 tonight...

here's hoping. with kc's defence firing on all cylinders, it's definitely looking grim for ny.

I am going make a bold prediction! eagles over the Broncos this weekend. The eagles D steps up and holds the broncos to 28. Meanwhile the offense is going to hit on all cylinders for 38 points and 450 total yards. Just wait!

part of me feels like Peyton can only play so good for so long and that might freakishly happen somehow because its the nfl but at the same time the Broncos might put up the same type of numbers the Patriots did in 07 and go like 14-2. They're a legitimate super bowl team if their defense is good enough. Eagles pass rush isnt consistent enough for me to take them to win outright, but I would take the Eagles at +11 actually if I had money to lose. They'll lose it if its close because chip will either give peyton too much time with the ball or mike vick will throw an interception too many, there's just too many things pointing against it happening. Our safeties cant cover anyone over the middle, wes welker is gonna have a huge fantasy day if they dont get beat down the field outright and some other receiver gets the tds. I actually think Cary Williams is a decent cornerback when he isnt getting penalties half of the plays in a possession but there's just too many other weaknesses for Peyton to pick apart. If chip were smart he'd just grind it out with a lot of LeSean and try to catch the defense sleeping sometimes with Desean down the field who him and vick dont seem to really connect on as much as they did in the past. that one monday night game against the redskins, well damn I guess both games but the one im talkin about was about like 2 years ago and the first play desean just beats laron landry for a td like I dont understand why they cant get back to that type of production considering lesean is at probably close to his prime right now.

I could see a score like Broncos 35 Eagles 27

if they win tonight i'm thinking a 9-7 season is reasonable, which just may be enough to win division?
first four games are easily among 8 most difficult on schedule, at least according to what we've seen thus far

not sure if young team can recover from a 1-3 start, it'll interfere with development, turn guys against coaching staff and all that fun stuff

tonight's game is huge, a loss may equate to a 5-11 season, which could work out/be a learning experience, and specially if washington doesn't finish any better, bam two top 10 picks, will they try to parlay that into more future first rounders?

their drafting has been suspect, other than first rounders...micheal brokers, tavon austin and alec ogletrees will be stars in this league for a long time

need to get rid of chris long and laryngitis, not just because they are way over paid but these spoiled white dudes are not equipped to defend the future of the NFL offense

watch long have 2.5 sacks and a FF and JL grab a momentum INT tonight

i'm fine, plenty of fun drama to be had in next 12 weeks, no matter what

and yeah bradford sucked, i hate that it was on national tv, because that's all most people are going to remember
see the all the kid's snaps, every game, he is a keeper...patience...yeah it's his 4th year but he's had over 50+ wr/te/oline, 3 o-cords
just can't get comfortable, it's gotta be frustrating for him, the fan's backlash, cause he has to have to start most drives inside own 20 and deal with clutch drops from young WRs not quite nfl ready, every qtr

starting to think steven jackson may have been the greatest leader in NFL from '10'-12, and go on to do some great things when his playing days are over, he's too special for a tv gig

because ram's current vets have been so god damn weak, thinking fisher is playing favoritism to guys he's drafted himself
and the few lenehan/spags era guys that actually survived the ride probably hate fisher
 
cant wait for these
