Rams To Hold Atogwe and Barron Tender

(Bonus points for anyone who gets the reference in the title.) The Rams are looking like they are going to tender their two highest profile restricted free agents safety OJ Atogwe and OT Alex Barron.

Rams Taking a TE in the Draft

Arizona TE Rob Gronkowski told the media today at the NFL Combine that he was told by the St. Louis Rams brass that they were taking a TE in the 2010 NFL draft. Not a huge stretch because the Rams need a tight end badly. Gronkowski or Aaron Hernandez of Florida could be available at [...]

Free Agent Fever – Part 3

…Of the ten QBs we have looked at so far (AJ Feeley, Brian St Pierre, Chad Pennington, Charlie Batch, Chris Redman, Daunte Culpepper, David Carr, J.P.

Internet Comment Rant of the Day

Apparently, this is the Michael Vick edition of ICRotD and I’m afraid that won’t much change until Michael Vick retires from football.  This is a long one, so we’ll break it up. Celtic Warrior: John Madden wrote a book and called Shula the best coach he ever went up against. The reason he liked Shula [...]

Trade Rumor Bubble Burst

The Rams and Bucs blockbuster trade has gone the way of the do-do faster than the NFL world can spin these days with both the Rams GM Billy Devaney busting the rumor and NFL media star ESPN’s Adam Schefter doing the same. GM Billy Devaney puts it in black and white language in his chat: [...]

Importance of the Combine

Yea, boi!  Got a question answered by Rams GM Billy Devaney.  However, my other question in which I invited Mr. Devaney to take a blood oath with me that he will not sign Michael Vick… did not get selected. Jeff Roman – Mr. Devaney – after 2009 and picking a player in Jason Smith that [...]
