What If Jeff Fisher Is Just An Expert Troll?
The thought of Jeff Fisher evokes the phrase “experienced mediocrity.” He shuffles along with the Rams, underachieving here and there, while carrying a lengthy, but not necessarily good, résumé as a shield to protect his job. Based on what Fisher did Sunday, though, I’m starting to wonder whether he...

Chiefs Fans Viciously Brawl, Ignore Security At Rams Game
The Rams have only hosted two football games so far during their brief tenure in Los Angeles, but both of them have featured big fights in the bleachers. Last week, rival groups of Rams fans commemorated the first Rams game in L.A. by punching the shit out of each other. On Saturday, this Chiefs fan...

Rams Fans Welcome The NFL Back To L.A. With Wild Brawl In The Stands
Last night, the freshly-relocated Los Angeles Rams played their first home game in the L.A. Coliseum since 1979, and they commemorated the occasion with a win. In the stands, some of their fans celebrated professional football’s return to L.A. with a fairly vicious brawl....

Orlando Pace Thanks St. Louis In Hall Of Fame Speech; NFL Leaves That Part Out Of Its YouTube Upload
St. Louis football fans who hoped to see a shout-out from the Rams’ newest Hall-of-Famer Orlando Pace might have been disappointed if they watched the version of his speech uploaded to the NFL’s YouTube channel. While the other inductees’ speeches from last night’s event are presented unedited by th...

Did The Rams Draft Michael Sam Just To Avoid <i>Hard Knocks</i>?
There are plenty of conspiracy theories surrounding the Rams’ selection of Michael Sam in the 2014 draft, all centering around the NFL’s desire to avoid the PR of watching the league’s first openly gay prospect go undrafted. But this is a new one....

The NFLPA Caught The Rams Trying To Short Players By Writing Missouri Labor Laws Into Contracts
The Los Angeles Rams took to their move to California with immediate verve, and tried to broadcast their identity by telling you exactly where their press conferences were (Manhattan Beach baby!) and selling you insufferably branded gear. But, according to a report yesterday from PFT, one thing the ...

Donald Trump Praises Missouri's Football Teams In Bizarre Speech
In the past twelve months, the state of Missouri has watched its NFL team depart for Los Angeles while its lone Division I-FBS team nearly went on strike due to racism on campus; they went 5-7 on the season. The two FCS programs? Missouri State’s football team went 1-10, while SEMO went 4-7. Donald ...

St. Louis Lawyer Buys Super Bowl Ad To Tell Stan Kroenke To Get Fucked
I put out a call during last night’s Super Bowl local ad break for the best and worst of your local markets, and got replies ranging from axe-murderer Joe Jacoby to HVAC-shilling Mike Tyson to an ad in Omaha for a male enhancement doctor who will make your dong so powerful it will leave your partner...

Stan Kroenke, Fresh Off Leaving St. Louis In The Lurch, Asks St. Louis For Tax Dollars
Stan Kroenke, a businessman who quite possibly wears the skinned pelt of a wombat atop his head on purpose, isn’t a popular man in St. Louis. He recently moved the Rams off to Los Angeles, drawing the ire of pretty much everyone there. So how should Stan go about mending his reputation there, seeing...

Claire McCaskill Might Actually Do Something About The Publicly-Financed Stadium Scam
Missouri senator Claire McCaskill says that she is drafting legislation that would require professional sports franchises that skip town prematurely to refund the public. St. Louis now has no NFL team, but incredibly, the city, county, and state still owe a combined $152 million to pay off the Edwar...

Stan Kroenke Will Never Care About You
The thing that always strikes me about people’s reactions to the general fuckery carried out by pro sports owners is the genuine disbelief. You look at some galactically rich piece of puddy asking taxpayers to build him a new stadium and you can’t help but ask, “Is this guy fucking serious?” You see...
