Dave: Hopefully the Steelers fans cheer for one of the greatest football players to ever play the game when the Rams retire his number tonight
I didn't get to see the game (I am assuming we lost) because I was at the Blues-Red Wings game which is in my opinion equivalent to Cards-Cubs. Never thought I would see the day when the Blues would be a more attractive game than the Rams
Jeff Gordon: Yes, the Steelers fans were gracious during the ceremony, which was terrific. And the game was pretty entertaining too, albeit without much consequence.
Francisco Prado: Gordo, enjoy your coverage on my beloved Rams. Keep up the good work. My question/comment is one position that not many realized going into this offseason: center. With this being McCollum's last season and Romberg being a free agent (there's no telling if he is coming back), what will the Rams do? Will they move Setterstrom if they go after Faneca to team with Incognito at guard? Draft or sign a free agent(Jeff Faine?)? I hope John Shaw hires a true football GM instead of Zygmunt.
Jeff Gordon: Romberg has done surprisingly well, when healthy. I think he is a player to keep. Fry didn't show much in Year One, but it would be nice to look at him again next summer after some more off-season work.
The big issue is tackle, since Incognito and Setterstrom are fine at guard. A lot of early draft projections have the Rams taking Long of Michigan, for obvious reasons.
steven: WOW!! linehan is the biggest (coward) ALIVE!!!.... the rams got nothing to lose and they dont go for it on 4th and 1. Than ron bartell got burnt like jason david. This season is coming down fast. GET RID OF LINEHAN!!!!
Jeff Gordon: Dude, the season went down fast a while back. Now the Rams are just trying to get it over with.
Janie: Gordo: Any chance that John Shaw will smarten up? What about bringing Marshall Faulk in as a head coach?
Jeff Gordon: Faulk wants no part of coaching. He has said he doesn't intend to put those insane hours in. Now, a front-office post he would discuss.
Chris Merkle: Jeff:
Marhall Faulk for President, GM, Coach and Waterboy! Let's not kid ourselves, Linehan is getting fired and deserves that fate. Look at the on field performance of the Rams.
Let's get positive and make the changes that need to be made. We all know this whole organization from Shaw to the waterboy needs to be blown up and start from scratch.
Jeff - great job and talk with you later!
Jeff Gordon: Let's be reasonable here. The Rams have no issues with their waterboys.
