]]> The Pro Bowl teams for the AFC and NFC were announced this week, and as you might imagine, no one from the Rams’ two-win team made the NFC squad. That doesn’t necessarily mean the Rams won’t have a representative, however. St. Louis did have three players named as alternates to the squad, and it seems likely that at least one, if not more, will be in Hawaii. The three guys are the ones you would probably guess: Chris Long, Steven Jackson and James Laurinaitis.

I know I’m biased, but there’s no doubt in my mind that Long and Laurinaitis should both be on the team. Long had an absolutely masterful year, and Laurinaitis had a better year than Brian Urlacher, who made the squad ahead of him. I understand that you don’t get the same kind of consideration when your team is possibly the worst in the league, but it still sucks for those guys.

As far as SJ39 goes, I don’t know if he has as much of a case as the other two. He has had a very nice season, but with his lack of touchdowns it would be hard to convince anyone he should be in over the guys who were picked. That’s not to knock Steven, because it’s not his fault he hasn’t been in the end zone. That’s just how it is.

Dissention Among The Owners - Ramblin' Fan - Ramblin' Fan - A St. Louis Rams Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

]]> As if this labor negotiation wasn’t already complicated enough, now it appears that the owners can’t even get on the same page with each other. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, there is a group of owners who are not happy with the deal that is currently being negotiated and that group is starting to make their opinions known. It doesn’t say in the article who these owners are, although it does say at least two are from AFC teams, but apparently this is a pretty powerful group who is capable of throwing a major wrench in this thing.

It sounds like both sides are preparing for the worst here, which is the exact opposite of what we thought was going to happen this week. Things were sounding so good for awhile, but now it looks like the chances of getting this thing done in time to start training camp are getting slim. According to reports, the deal would need to be in place by July 14 for everything to start on time. Even that date would make things tough on the Rams, who are scheduled to start a week early because of the HOF Game. As optimistic as I was last week, I am now eqally
