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 . . .
We want to stay quiet… so you and your moron linemates can hear the snapcount and STAY ON-SIDE and START TO MOVE AT THE SNAP OF THE BALL!!! NOT BEFORE!!!! This was a way wrong statement to make, I hope you are proud of yourself, errode that fan base a little more. How stupid. I’m done, when does spring training start? Call Mr. Bidwell for a good moving company reference. GO BACK TO LA!
Incognito: “…Our fans get in their seats, they don’t know how to cheer, when to cheer.”
The fans don’t cheer because we are watching YOU play. Rams fans have not had anything to cheer about, since Linehan was fired…and that was more of a sigh of relief, than a cheer!
Jackson: “…To be at home and feel like I’m at a road game, it was embarrassing.”
What is embarrassing, Stephen, is having to admit that I’m actually a Rams fan! The sad part about this, is that the Rams are embarassed by their fans, not their play on the field! They’re completely clueless!!! Even after watching films of themselves, week after week, they still don’t understand why fans wouldn’t want to spend $75 for a ticket, and another $40 on beer just trying too numb us to the pain they are putting us through.
Ingognito is correct. Rams fan are fools. Perhaps if the so called Rams fans knew something about the game, the players would be more motivated to win. Way to go Incognito.
Funny thing is if S. Jackson had some real blockers he would not be hurt. I think that Richie Incognito has to have an IQ of 6 to mouth off right now. The owner of the team will likely make him pay for this. It is no time to be anything other than humble and working hard. Richie Incognito has not earned anything in the NFL, he has potential, but it has never been fully used. If you are the town clown you should not expect another team to take you. Being a starter on the worse team in the NFC does not mean there is another team who would sign you.
Hey BigBoob, pass the kool-aid please.
thank you BIGBOB, i agree! isnt there a BLUES GAME on sunday you clowns can watch?
Hey Richie;
You need to take a look at the standings once in awhile. Because of your knuckleaded play at Washington the Rams are lucky not to be 1-9.
Dear Chip. Cut him.
Richie is just upset because the only thing he is really good at is hitting people AFTER the whistle…while that other player is not looking. You’re right Richie, we didn’t know we were supposed to cheer for that. Our bad. Bonehead. You couldn’t even start for my high school team. You’re weak, and everyone in the league knows it, that’s why they work to get under your skin. You’re weak and worthless. It appears your mouth works though, so you have that going for you.
St. Louis = fair weather fans x infinity.
This is going to be a great game, can’t wait to see all the people come down from Chi town and show this city how to party on and off the field. Do you know why people for St. Lois hate people from Chicago, because they are a bunch of Suburban dorks that are jealous of people from Chicago (big city big fun). Move back to your city or shut your holes St. Louisans. Go Bears
