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 . . .
RC is correct. I have been kicked out of Rams games twice for standing and cheering. The atmosphere is horrible. Richie shouldn’t be complaining though, especially after taking the second half off in SF because he “hurt” his shoulder. Miraculously, the doctors found nothing wrong other the Rams being behind 35-3.
He has to be one of the biggest wastes of space. Richie, get off of the roids, not only are you growing moobs, you now obviously have mental issues.
Incognito has been our best lineman this year. So those of you trying to avoid the issue of us being a boring crowd by attacking his play are off mark.
Just saying.
Is he kidding? Name one thing the Rams have done in the Incognito era that is worth cheering for.
Incognito and Barron make up the dumbest right side of any offensive line in NFL history. So why are we listening to this guy? The Rams at this point are not only a lousy football team, they are heartless. That is why they are not worthy of our support.
He’s right tho. Rams fans are morons who don’t know how and when to cheer. That place is more sterile than an operating room…and probably less fun. Screw this team, let some other city support them.
“Don’t know how to Cheer, When to Cheer” ! How about when your losing by 40 at the half, are we to cheer then ? How about when the “D” couldn’t stop a Grandma on a after Thanksgiving shopping spree, Is that the time to cheer ? You guys are pathetic !! I know when to GAG; it’s when I watch you ladies play.
You don’t score,I don’t cheer. Simple as that.
I’ll show up and cheer when you show up and play. Until you start acting like you’re part of the NFL, I’ll keep my money in my pocket, thank you very much!
WG Jim:
I’ll outdo you by one.
Here are two things.
Beat Dallas (SJ’s long run was a product of Richie and Torry Holt)
Beat Washington
Were you not cheering? My guess is yes. I guess it was worth cheering for then.
