St. Louis Rams won’t discipline Richie Incognito
For those of you who wanted to see petulant guard Richie Incognito sent packing, or at least disciplined in some manner . . . it’s not going to happen. Not yet, anyway.
In order, Incognito over the last few days:
*Criticized the Rams fans.
*Flipped an obscene gesture as he was being filmed at practice by a local TV station.
*Egged on the fans at the Edward Jones Dome after Sunday’s 27-3 loss to the Bears, then denied having done so to reporters a few minutes later.
But coach Jim Haslett said Monday that after talking with Incognito, he plans no action against him. But Haslett stressed that Incognito is on a very short leash.
“I heard about the situation yesterday, and I met with him this morning to discuss it,” Haslett said. “I’ve heard about five or six different versions, so I’m not really sure which scenario is the actual one. That being said, I don’t condone it, I’m not really sure what he gets out of it. If it’s a joke or if it’s not a joke, I think the team takes it very serious, coming off the loss. I think he should understand that.
“The way we played and the way the situation came out, I don’t think we can stand for that anymore, and I think he understands that. I told him it was inappropriate at the time, especially after (a lopsided defeat). If it happens again, then obviously whatever action we can take as a team would hurt both him and this football team. I think he understands that, and I think he understands that it can’t happen again.”

*T Orlando Pace (knee) also will try to practice Wednesday.
*QB Marc Bulger (concussion) is scheduled for a neuro exam Wednesday.


Incognito is an absolute bum. I knew this guy was a loser last year when he was down on Main St-St. Charles trying to act like a superstar. Nobody cared that he was there except him. How old are you? You still call yourself Richie? I wish everyone could have seen him when the Bears’ fans started in on him. Even they had no respect for him. I was at the 50 yard line in the 2nd row on Sunday. If anyone saw, I made a sign that read “Let us know when to cheer Richie.” I am still waiting.
I will still continue to support the Rams win or loss, but let’s see a good game.
