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

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.

• Ref Tackles Rams Player Kenneth Darby, But Few Saw it Because of TV Blackout

  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,

• A Metaphor For the Rams Season: "The Most Pathetic Baby Panda Ever"

  Just four miserable weeks into the season, and what's left to say about the 2009 St. Louis Rams? They are the worst football team in the NFL, and perhaps one of the worst teams of all-time. 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
