Richie Incognito takes his turn ripping St. Louis Rams fans

Two years ago, it was Steven Jackson who jumped on Rams fans for selling their tickets to Bears supporters. “I have a big problem with that,” Jackson said. “There were a lot of Bears fans in sections they shouldn’t have been. . . . When we ran out in pregame, we were booed. It was terrible. I couldn’t believe it. To be at home and feel like I’m at a road game, it was just embarrassing.”

Now, with the Bears — and their legions of fans — coming to the Edward Jones Dome on Sunday, Richie Incognito piped up.

“It seems like our fans aren’t coming to the game, so it’s fun when the other fans come in and start hooting and hollering. At least someone is in the Dome yelling,” Incognito said after practice Thursday. “When we played the Giants (Sept. 14 at the Dome), they had the whole lower bowl filled up (with Giants fans). We know how our fans feel about us; that’s fine.

“It’s nice to have the other fans here. At least they cheer. Our fans get in their seats, they don’t know how to cheer, when to cheer. We get the other team’s fans coming in, and they cheer real nice for us. It provides for a good football atmosphere, having the Chicago fans down here.”

Notes & quotes:

*Incognito (shoulder) was a full participant in practice and, barring a setback, will start at RG on Sunday. Still, coach Jim Haslett would like to get rookie John Greco some reps in the game.

*Jackson said that his strained thigh muscle is feeling better and that the plan is to have him go through a demanding workout Saturday, then see how it responds. He’s hopeful that he’ll be able to return Nov. 30 vs. Miami.

*Thursday’s practice was unusually physical. “That’s how this game’s going to have to be played this week,” Haslett said.

All for now . . .

Oh, I didn’t realize it was our fault. Do you realize that the reason the other teams fans are cheering is because THEIR TEAM IS KICKING THE CRAP OUT OF YOU!!!

We pay the Rams to show up & they don’t. You suck & we will still continue to be fans & support you, but fans sell their ticket so they don’t have to waste extra time driving to see you in person. We can watch on tv & see you get crushed & roll over into the fetal position. At least the tickets can be sold and we can get something out of this season. You are pathetic. You are making the Rams of the 90’s look good.

Incognito - I’ll make you a deal. All of us season ticket holders will come to the game if we all get to smack you upside the head every time you get penalized for something stupid!
