Dissecting Yesterday's Collapse: Rams 20, 49ers 23

I feel your pain, anime protagonist. ​The Rams kicked off the second half of their season Sunday with one of the most frustrating, heartbreaking losses we've seen all year.

Meet the New Rams; Same As the Old Rams

See, it's both a snarky way of making fun of the Rams' ineptitude and a way to remind us of better days. Nice, huh? ​Well, hopefully this (and by this, of course, I mean the unceremonious 28-0 ass kicking we all witnessed yesterday), will put to an end all that hopeful speculation people come up w ...

The Jason Smith Conundrum

You know, I'm not normally real big on preseason football. Unlike spring training in baseball, it's hard to really follow the position battles and the like in football.

The Candlestick Catastrophe and Other Nicknames for the Rams '08 Season

Well, yet another Sunday has passed for the St. Louis Rams, and yet another horrific loss. See, the Rams played the 49ers yesterday. San Francisco, in no uncertain terms, is a crappy football team.
