St. Louis Rams Make Final Roster Cuts

AUTHOR: stlvinnie | IN: Rams | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

The St. Louis Rams final roster cuts were made on Saturday. The Rams had to cut 13 players to get down to the league roster limit of 53. There were once again no huge surprises. The best news is that the Rams kept Dane Looker and Brock Berlin who deserved the last spots. Dane Looker is a fan favorite and simply out played all of the other young receivers trying for the #6 slot. Brock Berlin is a very decent #3 QB who out played Bruce Gradkowski. Brock is very accurate and has a quick release. This is the best [...]

The Turk Visits 10 St. Louis Rams On Friday

AUTHOR: stlvinnie | IN: Rams | COMMENTS: None Yet

The St. Louis Rams cut 10 players on Friday to get down to a 66 man roster. League rules mandate that the Rams cut 13 more players prior to 3PM on Saturday. Marques Hagans and Jerome Carter were the only big names released today. Carter drafted out of Florida State just never has improved his safety play. Hagans just became part of the numbers game. Simply put he is not one of the Rams top 6 receivers. See the full list of Rams released below. We will post the final 13 cuts tomorrow once they are announced by the Rams. [...]

St. Louis Rams Thunderstruck 21-17 by Chiefs

AUTHOR: stlvinnie | IN: Rams | COMMENTS: None Yet

The Governors Cup between the St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs Thursday night was delayed by rain and a lightning storm for 90 minutes. Then it was the Chiefs who struck with lightning quickness scoring 21 points in the first 15 minutes and 38 seconds of game play on two touchdowns from Kolby Smith and one from Bobby Sippio. The final score was 21-17 Chiefs. To recap the rest of the game I would simply say “move along nothing to see here“. There truly was nothing to see here. The Rams did not start any of their projected 22 [...]

Bodog has posted some interesting odds on the St. Louis Rams 2008 season. Go there and check them out. I must say if I had a ton of money I would fly to Vegas and put down some large green on the fact that there is no way in hell I think Drew Bennett will reach 720 yards receiving.

St. Louis Rams vs. Kansas City Chiefs GameDay

AUTHOR: stlvinnie | IN: Rams | COMMENTS: None Yet

The St. Louis Rams will take on the Kansas City Chiefs Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium, for the Governors Cup. This will be the fourth and final preseason game for both teams. The Rams are 2-1 and the Chiefs are 1-2. Typically the fourth preseason game is a snoozer and is only really meant to weed down the roster, while you pray none of your really good players get hurt. Below are a few items we believe Rams fans may want to be watching in tonight’s game.

Larry Johnson – Larry Johnson comes in with 35 [...]

NFC West Predictions

AUTHOR: stlvinnie | IN: Rams | COMMENTS: None Yet

ESPN 2008 NFL predictions were released today. To no ones surprise the St. Louis Rams received ZERO votes to finish first in the NFC West. ESPN used a staff of 16 writers to predict the winner of each division as well as the Superbowl Champion. 14 writers selected the Seattle Seahawks and two selected the Arizona Cardinals.
The Rams did receive one shout out from Seth Wickersham, from ESPN the Mag who did select the Rams as one of the NFC Wild Card participants. Seth, we thank you.
Eleven writers selected an AFC team as the winner of the Superbowl, while the [...]

St. Louis Rams Season Preview

AUTHOR: stlvinnie | IN: Rams | COMMENTS: None Yet

NFL.com has produced their St. Louis Rams Season Preview. NFL.com is not very high on the Rams in 2008. Four of their feature writers have the Rams finishing between 3-13 and 6-10. Currently I can not disagree with their opinion too much. I have been on record as saying if Orlando Pace can stay healthy and play close to 16 games I believe the Rams can win up to 7 games. I am not a fair weather fan, just telling the truth. The beginning of the St. Louis Rams 2008 schedule is just too hard. What are your predictions for [...]

Missouri Tigers Go To The Sugar Bowl

AUTHOR: stlvinnie | IN: Rams | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

The Missouri Tigers and the Big 12 continue to not get the ultimate respect from the media. Rivals.com already has the Missouri Tigers playing in the Sugar Bowl against the Florida Gators. Rivals.com has taken the time to already predict the 34 bowl match ups for this season. They have predicted that the National Championship game will be between the USC Trojans and the Georgia Bulldogs. It appears that the Oklahoma Sooners and Missouri Tigers will lose at least 1 game. I can’t disagree with the possible title game between USC and Georgia but it would be nice if Missouri [...]
