you guys take it personally, and shouldn’t (unless you’re one of the lumps who comes to the game to sit in your seat and have a cocktail.

but guess what…he’s right.

we are the crappiest fans around right now. Rams games are boring as hell in terms of atmosphere and on field play. It’s pathetic. No doubt, but it’s still fun to cheer. And few do.

I have season tickets, I go to every game. I’m not saying this from my couch.

I get told to sit down on 3rd downs because people behind me can’t see.

Pathetic. I’ve been to plenty of stadiums to see other crappy teams play and they sure as he ll don’t make sections of people sit on 3rd downs. It’s horrible. ( a lot of it starts with the ushers - they need to loosen up a bit)

What an ingrate.

I’ve been to every game since the Rams moved here. With the players not appreciating my support, I am beginning to not appreciate giving them a couple thousand dollars a year.

While I agree with Richie that the fans are quiet (the same can be said of Cards fans), his timing is awful. This is not the time to be calling out the fans. The team sucks right now and they should be concentrating on playing better football…not what happens in the stands.

That being said, the fans of STL teams have gotten very passive. Most prefer to sit and watch rather than cheer. I think that most people are embarrassed to cheer or think it is beneath them. My rule is: the more expensive the ticket the quieter the fan.

Having cheered for the Greatest Show on Turf, I am getting pretty sick of the current set of cry babies who seem to think it is the fans fault that they can’t defend their quarterback or make holes for a running play. Remember too that we live in a free market society and people pay hard earned money for a GOOD product. Start producing and quit your whining. I’ll be cheering, and it will be a great big BOO when Incognito hits the field.

No, I think he’s right. We don’t - or at least I don’t - know how to cheer for losers such as Incognito.

Richie and Steven really don’t when it’s appropriate to run your mouth about the fans. You can run your mouth when the team is playing well. Now is not the time, with a 2-8 record.
That being said, there is some truth to what he says. If you have ever been to a Rams game at that sterile, dark, bland stadium you realize how pathetic many of the fans are. Go to a Mizzou game, Chiefs game, or high school football game to see passionate football fans. Watch the fans in the lower bowl during TV games and you see no passion, no spirit, no nothing.

R.C. - I completely agree with you. I was once kicked out of a Cards game for yelling “Let’s Go Cards” too often. No vulgarities just being a loud fan. The people around me complained and they kicked me out when I refused to shut up.

It would be easy to rip Richie: Why expect fans to show up it players don’t?

However, it is clear he has a bit of a wild thing streak, and that this streak makes him a better football player. So let him pipe up. Who cares?

The NFL should fine him. This is a bigger affront to the people who pay the bills than organized touchdown celebrations or hard hits.

Two years ago, it was Steven Jackson (at least Jackson actually contributes to the team from time to time) who jumped on Rams fans for selling their tickets to Bears supporters (I don’t sell my tickets but I don’t blame Rams fans for selling their tickets to Bears fans who want to pay for next years season tickets. Mainly because as Rams fans we only look forward to next year.). “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 (seriously Richie-go a single game without a bonehead move or play well as a team on the offensive line and people may care what you say), so it’s fun when the other fans come in and start hooting and hollering(When this team play shows any effort toward being a winning team, the fans are there and rowdy. This place was great in from 1999-2003 and then awful players like you showed up. GO AWAY! . At least someone is in the Dome yelling (we are booing you idiot. Again, go away!,” 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)(Wasn’t that the week after you went and played so well against a team that would later tie the Bengals. Way to go LOSER!. We know how our fans feel about us; that’s fine (Richie-you have no fans. The team would be better off if you went away and played for another team and became their cancer. GO AWAY! Rams fans want to believe in this team but instead of showing an ounce of heart, you all decided to play for the paycheck. Well that is what Rams fans can do to. Sell your tickets because players don’t care-they just care to whine about how bad the fans are-Look in the mirror Richie and Rams!).

“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 (they boo you idiot-You are a joke. I hope they cut you). It provides for a good football atmosphere, having the Chicago fans down here (Go play for Chicago then-oh I forgot-they wouldn’t want you. Go find a bar you piece of rotten poop).”
