Same Ol' Situation

So here it is, the season right around the corner, and whadda ya know - injuries and holdouts making training camp a joke. Will it be another preseason of no offensive td's until the last game? Will Steven Jackson realize that by holding out on a contract the HE agreed to he is mocking his ridicule of the fans who sold their tickets to the highest bidder last year? Will the new offense come to life or will it stall under Scott Linehan's lame duck status?

All these questions will be answered very shortly, and it will be very interesting to see how it all plays out. I for one am sick and tired of the injuries to these athletes who are supposed to be the greatest athletes in the world, and the holdouts by the guys who are already making more money than the GNP of some entire countries. If the guys can't stay healthy then fire the trainer and conditioning coach, and if they can't stay happy with MILLIONS of dollars a year then suspend them for the season.

I have been a Rams fan and overall football fan for 28 years but if this crap doesn't stop I may not make it through my 29th. $400 for NFL Sunday Ticket? Bunch of crap. $500 for tickets to one game for the whole family? Let's see - pay the mortgage or go to the game? Bullshit! It's a travesty that these decisions have to even be made. I sure hope it stops soon, because my life without football will be sooooo boring. But until then...

GO RAMS!
