St. Louis Rams single game tickets will go on sale at 10AM CST Friday August 1st. You can buy the single game tickets from Ticketmaster, Ticketmaster outlets, and from the St. Louis Rams website. *****NOTE***** Tickets for the Dallas and Chicago games require the purchase of a predetermined second game. Dallas’ second game is the Buffalo Bills; and Chicago’s second game is the New York Giants. The selection is automatic during the purchase process and there are no exceptions. I would like to point out that Rams single game tickets for several games are still available on the net for [...]

St. Louis Rams coach Scott Linehan often makes me scratch my head. I have said before that when he was hired I felt like I was a fan of a college team that would now endure 4 years of mediocrity. I never thought that Linehan was qualified to be a head coach in the NFL so I figured we would have to ride out the wave, or four years if you will. Linehan has a 11-21 career record with the Rams. Sure you can’t totally blame him with all the injuries and being a new coach taking over for Mike [...]

St. Louis Rams Donnie Avery has a crack in his pelvic bone (stress fracture). That is the report today from St. Louis Rams training camp in Mequon, Wisconsin. The only place we have seen this report is from Jim Thomas of STLtoday.com and on Team 1380 sports talk radio. Thomas reports that Avery was injured after catching a ball in practice on Monday and landing on his hip. Team doctors said they have not seen a stress fracture in this area before so they are looking into how they will treat Avery. Avery who just watched practice from the sideline [...]

St. Louis Rams Pro Bowl running back Steven Jackson is still a holdout. Day four provided the interesting news that Steven Jackson is keeping in touch with coach Scott Linehan and players via text messaging. Scott Linehan said “I see how he’s doing and what he’s doing,” Linehan said. “Obviously, we’ve got to take care of this first, but I just kind of let him know where we’re at, and some of the things that are going on. “He’s real focused on what’s going on in camp, his head’s definitely in the right place.” This is far from old school [...]

Victor Adeyanju broke his middle finger in practice at Rams training camp on Sunday. The break must be pretty bad because Victor has been sent back to St. Louis on Monday to possibly have surgery to place metal pins into the finger to stabilize it. Some reports say Victor will miss at least four weeks and possibly all of the preseason games. Scott Linehan said once Victor is cleared to play he could get some work in with a club on his hand. I don’t know about you but I think an NFL DE needs 100% of his hands to [...]

Friday the St. Louis Rams reported that Steven Jackson is officially a hold out. We are now three days into a hold out that may go on for a little while. Jay Zygmunt the Rams President is no longer negotiating with Eugene Parker who is Steven Jackson’s agent. Until Jackson is in camp the Rams vow to carry on without Jackson while fining him $15,000 per day for an unexcused absence. Jackson currently has rung up $45,000 in fines. Hopefully this will play out well for the Rams and we will get a franchise back under contract for 5+ years. [...]

The St. Louis Rams have reported that Fakir Brown suffered a rotator cuff injury at training camp. With Brown getting suspended early in 2007 we certainly do not need this snow ball once again to start rolling down hill. Ron Bartell & Jonathon Wade need to be more consistent for the Rams not to rely heavy on Brown. Bartell and Wade have not been solid enough to prove they can be starters in the NFL. This may also provide a opportunity for Justin King to step up and try to win a nickel back role or even more. I believe [...]

The St. Louis Rams reported that Donnie Avery signed a four-year contract with the St. Louis Rams this morning. Now with Donnie Avery signed the Rams have signed all of their eight 2008 NFL draft picks to contracts. Avery was the Rams second-round draft pick and the 33rd selection overall in this years NFL draft. Donnie Avery should be at camp on Saturday and available to practice. We look for Donnie Avery and Keenan Burton to have a nice battle for the 3rd receiver position in Al Saunders offense. If you would like to discuss this or have any other [...]
