Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Martz to jump-start Bears offense?
I could think of a lot worse moves the Bears could make. They've got a few weapons (most notably Cutler and Forte) that Martz could utilize... As long as Martz isn't allowed to make any personnel decisions, and Martz-Lovie reunion could work.
Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Trevino jabs back at Goydos
These guys need to meet in the ThunderDome. Two men enter, one man leaves.
Posted Monday November 23, 2009, About: Hasselbeck, Bulger to Vikings?
Wow. As a Rams fan, I wasn't expecting to read that Marc Bulger was a candidate to start anywhere next year... much less to replace Brett Favre if he retires. I can tell you this, Bulger could be had for a seventh round draft pick if someone would take him and the rest of his contract off the Rams hands.

What's also ironic about this story is that there have been a few rumblings that the Rams may try to sign current Vikings backup Tarvaris Jackson to be their QB so they can draft a defensive lineman (Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska?) in the first round of next year's draft.
Posted Sunday November 15, 2009, About: Dolphins to take offers on Ginn
As a Rams fan, I'd like to see what the Rams would have to give up to get him. They haven't had a good return man since Tony Horne, and Tony Horne's career ended with a preseason injury before the 2000 season.
Posted Sunday November 15, 2009, About: Brewers clear more money for pitching
I'm not sure I understand this quote: "In cutting the pitcher who led the team with 14 victories in 2009, the Brewers showed how serious they are about upgrading a starting rotation that ranked last in the National League with a 5.37 earned run average." Cutting the guy who led your team in wins equals an indication that you're serious about upgrading your starting rotation? That don't make no sense.
Posted Sunday November 15, 2009, About: Marlins shopping Uggla
Last season saw Uggla experiencing a major drop-off from his first three years. I wouldn't expect the Marlins to get nearly as much as they would've if they had traded him after the '08 season.
Posted Sunday November 15, 2009, About: Boras takes jab at McGwire
The hated Boras vs. the detested McGwire... Which one will the masses choose to support?
Posted Friday November 13, 2009, About: Cubs eyeing Byrd, Granderson
I heard that rumor. I also heard the rumors that the Cubs will trade Bradley for Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter.
Posted Thursday November 12, 2009, About: Gonzalez: We weren't nude
I knew a stripper who used the name "October" when she danced. But before today I had never heard of a non-stripper who actually went by the name October.
Posted Thursday November 12, 2009, About: Gonzalez: We weren't nude
Now that's hilarious!
Posted Saturday October 31, 2009, About: Vikings coach dressed in drag
Surprisingly, Brad Childress in drag looks exactly like my Aunt Edna.
Posted Tuesday October 27, 2009, About: FBI agent questions McGwire's return
As a Cardinals fan, I hope this doesn't turn into a distraction that detracts from the Cardinals ability to win. They're obviously going to be a contender once again next year. I hope the circus that will undoubtedly surround McGwire doesn't do the Cards in.
Posted Sunday October 18, 2009, About: Who's not on Indians' list
Hargrove, Pena, Showalter, Garner... Retread. Retread. Retread. Retread. Why not give someone new a shot?
Posted Sunday October 18, 2009, About: Why La Russa may sit out season
The one-year contact idea makes sense. Sitting out a year doesn't. I fully expect LaRussa to sign another one-year deal with the Cardinals-- like he has numerous times before-- and then consider his options a year from now.
Posted Sunday October 18, 2009, About: Does Pujols want out of St. Louis?
Yeah right, CHICAGO TRIBUNE. Wishful thinking on your part. Pujols is going to retire a Cardinal, thereby keeping the Cubs' curse going for at least another decade.
Posted Monday October 12, 2009, About: Reds eyeing La Russa hire
I'm not so sure. LaRussa traditionally always signed one-year deals so he could remain flexible at the end of the season. A couple of years ago he signed a two-year deal, mostly so the club could ensure that he was there for 2009 (the All-Star season). That deal is now up, and LaRussa's buddy Dave Duncan is more than a little upset with how the team handled his son Chris. So maybe, just maybe, LaRussa and Duncan will hop over to Cincy and join their pal (former Cardinals GM) Walt Jocketty.

If that happened, it's a virtual certainty that Jose Oquendo would become the new Cardinals skipper.
Posted Monday October 12, 2009, About: Black players won't play for Rush's Rams
It's not as if the Rams are having a whole lot of players wanting to sign in St. Louis as free agents right now anyway. They have to greatly overpay (see last year's signing of OG Jacob Bell and this year's signing of C Jason Brown) to get players to come here right now.
Posted Monday October 12, 2009, About: Will Titans try Young again?
It's time to decide if he's part of the long term plan for this team. The Titans would be stupid if they didn't put Young in the lineup at this point in the season.
Posted Wednesday October 07, 2009, About: Promoter: Braylon Edwards has problem with LeBron
If Braylon is trying to find quick a way out of Cleveland, picking a fight with LeBron is probably the way to go.
Posted Wednesday October 07, 2009, About: Sources: Limbaugh not front-runner for Rams
By the way, FN has picked a bad headline for this article. Nothing in their clip or the whole article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch indicates that Limbaugh's group is not the front-runner in the bidding process. It just says "not necessarily."
Posted Wednesday October 07, 2009, About: Sources: Limbaugh not front-runner for Rams
Why?

As someone from the St. Louis area, I think most of my Ram fan friends are excited about the possibility of Rush and Dave Checketts owning the Rams. Neither one is the type that wants to accept mediocrity. The team almost certainly would improve under an ownership group led by those two. And wins are what put fannies in the seats. If the Rams are winning more games, more people are going to follow the team and go to the games.
