Comments from different reporters around the NFL:

 Michael Silver

Fisher was willing to meet halfway on personnel control, but Ross wouldn't budge. He's an Ireland man. And now Fisher is headed for The Lou

 

Michael Silver

 

This was Miami's game to lose, and Ross decided he wanted his current GM to retain his current level of power. So the Rams got their man.

 

Michael Silver

 

If you are a Dolphins fan, and you want to know WHY: You have an owner who very much wants Jeff Ireland to retain control over the roster

 

Albert Breer

 

Fair to say that some in Dolphins organization feel as if they were leverage in this whole deal. Feelings still pretty raw though.

 

 Pete Prisco

 

Thought all along fisher would pick Bradford I mean rams

 

 Jay Glazer

 

Jeff Fisher goes to Rams after all. Just 5 days later than we thought

 

 Michael Lombardi

 

Rams it is. Good luck to Jeff. Congrats Ram fans.

 

Albert Breer

 

2 things I was told from start: Fisher didn't need control, but wasn't going to have front-office structure forced on him. & he wanted a QB.

 

 Adam Caplan

 

Interested to see who Fisher picks as his OC. Huge issue for development of Bradford. 3rd OC coming for his first 3 seasons.

 

​Now we just have to hope they get the right GM and OC in there for Bradfords sake and the sake of the offense! I say hey Fisher first pick....Blackmon, Blackmon, Blackmon!

 

​Oh and did I mention, Blackmon?

 

Thanks!

People have just given up it seems on the entire organization and in reality I guess you really can't blame them. You get tired of losing. I know I do. However, I'll still stick with the Rams because they're all I've ever known since I was a kid. Leaving them behind would be like leaving a family member behind I suppose.

So here I plug away, trying to support my team and generally alone doing so. Maybe some day the fans will return and we can have as much fun as we use to have.

Still here, waiting for at least a .500 season

Pretty sad when you'd be happy with just a .500 season.

Let's hope that they can carry this victory with them to Arizona and pluck the red birds in the desert.

Don't know about anyone else but this pretty much sums up the whole of our team and the destiny they seem to be taking. This year is making the dismal 90's suddenly not look so bad.

It really doesn't make sense with a new owner, new front office, new coaching and supposedly good high draft picks and free agents and nothing is working. It simply doesn't make sense.

Being a life long fan, this is really tough to digest.

Spags HC career with the Rams is definitely on the line and he had better find some way in which he can patch up this quickly sinking ship of his. 

The receivers need to start playing like they play in the NFL as well. I mean come on, they even drop perfectly thrown passes!

The offensive line is letting Bradford be knocked around like a rag doll and if they're not careful he's going to be the second coming of Marc Bulger the deer caught in headlights QB.

Barring a miracle.

Do you believe in miracles? I do, but not when it comes to football. 

Will post more about it later, have so much to catch up on. May even post some pics later as well as soon as we get through going through the hundreds that we took.

New Orleans here we come!

Are you ready for some football?!!!!!

I sure as heck know I am! The off season was so dead that it left me starving for it!

Any thoughts on how you think the team is going to do this year?

GO RAMS!

I'm happy to see the Rams working so quickly on trying to fill holes and beef up the offense and all, but where are they running to without a backup for Steven Jackson?

My, my, my....are they going to continue to ignore or overlook this dire need? We really, really, really need someone that can get the job done when Jackson is not only taking a breather but if, God forbid, he get hurt during the year.

Not getting why this hasn't happened yet. Oh well, guess we gotta wait and see.

If they don't get things taken care of real soon here this is going to be a really sloppy NFL season filled with penalties and injuries galore.

Man how much more boredom can the fans stand?

The players are going to lose all away around on this. The owners are not going to budge when it comes to what the players want and they are not going to budge on the lockout. So what good is all of this? 

The owners on the other hand aren't gaining anything by allowing the stalled negotiations to keep the players from practicing and then playing. Sure they aren't having to pay the players but at the same time by not starting the season on time, they're losing millions of dollars. So where's the sense in it all? Why not allow the season to start and still keep the negotiations open?

Morons on both sides of the ball! 

Not only are the fans and those who work in all the stadiums getting hurt by all of this but the players are also going to be hurt immensely with no pay. It's also going to really hurt all the rookies and 2nd year players or those players that may have had only a year left on their contracts, what about those players?

The players are not representing the entire group of players if they don't take into consideration those players in particular. There could careers on the line here over the issue of greed!

Stop the madness now and just count your losses as a few months loss of training and not an entire season because it's obvious the greedy owners aren't going to budge end of story!

Isn't it the owners that get all whiny and cranky when ticket sales happen to fall? Isn't the owners that move teams to a different venue when they don't think they're making enough money? So here they sit bickering with the whining players over none other than the money that comes out of our hard earned paychecks for all the tickets and the millions upon millions of dollars spend on team memorabilia. Which of course they get a cut from. You'd think that they wouldn't want to rile up a large group like us!

Not only is this completely unfair to all of us that support these greedy souls but what about all the little guys that work at all of the stadiums from the office help down to the guys who have to pick up our trash we leave behind each and every game? What about them? What happens to their income if these blockheads continue this bull headed greed fest? They are so wound up in their own selfish little world they fail to see the millions of others that it affects. Talk about a trickle down effect!

You know what would really be something? When the season finally does start what the fans should do all across the nation on opening day for each team is simply don't show up for the game. I'm serious, stand up and show solidarity as fans and just for one game on opening day, don't be there. See how much of an impact that would make! It would boggle the mind to see just how much power the fans really have if something like that could happen! In one day the owners would lose millions and millions of dollars! It sure would make them think twice before pulling something like this again.

It's too bad this won't happen.....but it would definitely be something the owners, players and the NFL would not forget for a very long time!

I wondered all year long what the issue was and not learning the playbook, I mean was it really that hard to do? What did he do in college? Just strange when you think about it.

So, now that more receivers were drafted and Clayton and Avery are returning there pretty much isn't going to be any room for the guy so guess he wants out of St. Louis, ya think? Thing is, if he couldn't learn that playbook of Shurmurs what's he going to do with a different one? 

Most importantly, join us and help us grow into a connection for all Rams fans and those who love the game of American Football!
