Big Thirsty: So when do you think the Rams will relocate back to california.
Jeff Gordon: Bernie cautions us not to presume a Rams move back to LA, since Chip Rosenbloom appreciates the support the franchise got here in St. Louis. But nothing is forever, especially with the potential of the franchise going up for grabs.
If Stan Kroenke could get the team, that would help St. Louis a lot. But the NFL would have to change its rules to allow that.

Garin: Hi Jeff , I am curious as to why Linny did not sack Wayne Moses and Willy Robinson at the same time he gave Paul Boudreau the boot and removed Greg " predictable " Olson from his title , seems like more sense if you are cleaning house to do it all in one fail swoop and not leave a pile of dust laying around.
Jeff Gordon: Well, the running backs were fine. I especially like how Antonio Pittman got worked into the mix, giving the team three quality backs. And the secondary held up most of the year despite losing top cornerbacks Fakhir Brown and Tye Hill for big chunks. Atogwe has become an impact safety and Ron Bartell progressed well.
Jim Glines: What happened during the Linehann meetings with Shaw and Zuggy in Los Angeles. I think fans expected to see 'major shakeup' in the coaching staff, yet nothing real has been forthcoming. Now with Georgia's death, how will that impace the ability of the Rams to act decisively on their selection of a new Offensive Coordinator and other major coaching needs?
So many questions; so few answere!

Jeff Gordon: This is Chip Rosenbloom's team now. And it may take him awhile to get involved, for obvious reasons. So, no, the LA summit was not going to generate major change under those circumstance. Shaw is likely on his way out -- and Shaw is the guy that forces major change.
Tim Leahey: Did anyone notice that old Mizzou roundballer, Linas Kleiza dropped in 41 pts for the Denver Nuggets the other night? I am not sure if that is the game where Iverson got kicked out or not, which would be the reason why he got so many touches. 41 pts might have matched his cumulative pts for his career. That was one decent recruit for Coach Q.
Jeff Gordon: Linas has developed into a nice player for the Nuggets. Stan Kroenke looks for smart for taking care of his old Tiger . . .
Tim: HOw would you rank the blues top prospects 1-5 and how much of an impact will the have on the league when they get there?
Jeff Gordon: Top five Blues propects:
1- Steve Wagner, D: Already proved he is one of the top six defenders here.
2- Roman Polak, D: Another top six defender.
3- Patrick Berglund, C: He should be a solid No. 2 center in two years.
4- T.J. Oshie, W: Versality Brad Boyes-type player.
5- Ben Bishop, GT: Potential long-term solution in goal.
