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. Don't get me wrong; the Rams are also a crappy football team, but this was supposed to be their chance to actually compete in a game, to at least fight on roughly even ground against another also ran.
Final score: San Francisco 35, St. Louis 16. And in no way was the game anywhere near that close.
In case you missed it, here's Rams running back Kenneth Darby crumpling like a schoolyard runt under the wall-like stature of the... referee. During Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers:Sadly for loyal fans, the game was blacked-out on local TV because it wasn't a sell-out, which is why you likely didn't see Marc Bulger throw an interception in the final minute of the game. The Rams now find themselves in the longest losing streak over the course of the team's history here in St. Louis,

That about sums it up.But while Post-Dispatch columnist Bryan Burwell makes a convincing argument that the penalty-plagued, heartless performance of tackle Alex Barron against the 49ers yesterday best symbolizes this disaster of a franchise, the Internet offers a much more fitting parallel.Behold: What does a
Anyone else notice that corporate logo inked onto a player's arm this week during Monday Night Football? http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4038/4187401637_f764218164_o.pngTurns out it belongs to Justin Smith the Missouri boy (and Mizzou grad) now a defensive tackle for the San Francisco 49ers. And, yep, it's the Anheuser-Busch logo.
Finally, something for those Rams beat reporters to write about. The story yesterday about two men falling from the stands at Edward Jones Dome prompts a number of questions. First, a quick recap: The men reportedly fell while fighting over a shoe as Rams players handed out equipment and other apparel following the team's 28-6 loss to the 49ers and wrapping up a dismal 1-15 season.
