"Yes I'm a Ram's Fan!"

Watching the UFL's Sacramento Mountain Lions inaugural home game on Saturday night, I knew it was going to be an awesome game for the Rams on Sunday. QB'd by Daunte Culpepper, the Mountain Lions beat Brooks Bollinger and the Florida Tuskers 24-20 on a 33 yd TD pass with 31 seconds to go to WR Rod Windsor. Question - what does that have to do with the Rams winning the game on Sunday? Answer - the guy who got beat on the play was none other than former Rams FOH (friend of Haslett) Fakhir Brown! Haslett is now the DC for the Redskins, and the Rams last home win was on Oct. 10, 2008 against the Cowboys 34-14 - Haslett's debut as our interim HC. Add to that the fact that the Tuskers also employ former Rams Claude Wroten and Aveion Cason and you got the makings of a gut feeling like none other. And from there it became so strong of a feeling that I could feel it in my bones, and my bones do not lie.

What a frickin awesome game! Bradford is on his way to becoming an all-pro, and the defense has pulled together to rank in the top 10 in Tackling Defense, something that had been woefully missing since Mike Jones. Our overall Defense ranking is only #24 but is ahead of BELICHEAT and the CHEATRIOTS!!! Even more amazing is the fact that for the first time in four years we are not in the cellar, and what makes it double special is that the bottom feeders right now are the Whiners.

With Jackson out, the offense seemed to find a better rhythm, with Darby finding the endzone for our first third Quarter TD in years. The WR's had their issues (see Brandon Gibson) but they pulled it together led by Mark Clayton. The whole team is playing as a unit with full confidence in Bradford. This is the best feeling us Rams fans have had for years, and even though it may turn out to be another long year if Bradford tires out from the rigors of the NFL game, we can once again hold our heads high and declare without embarrasment "Yes I'm a Rams fan!" Here's to riding the back of SB8 all the way to SB45.
