Re: Rams Rely on Wilkins Lose 17-16
I flew from Oakland, CA to the STL for that game. I bought a ticket from a street vendor at the 20 yard line. I was set for an afternoon of delight, being able to come home and see family and friends and watch the hometown team against the ****@#s. It was an impressive game for the Defensive unit.
The irony was that Friday night I was in TN watching my young cousins play a high school game and the situation was 4th and 2. The whole Defensive unit seemed to be on the RB and the crowd was yelling; then, they relaxed and he broke through for a TD. The home team rallied with a Defensive and Offensive TD and won by 14 points. I thought that I was having dejavu when I saw it happen at the EJ Stadium.... but no.
What bothered me the most was the Rams fans around me uttering such disgusting comments towards the coach and team. There were genuine Bulger haters behind me that wanted to see him injured so G. Frerote could play. The presence of *****@s fans is growing in the STL. I saw a crew in McD's who drove up from Memphis, TN.
We've got to stop being so fickle about our team. It would be devastating to see them sold off again. I want to see them win also, but to cheer for our QB to be hurt is something quite different from the norm. Free speech.
Well, I'm back in the SF Bay area at work and still paying my debts and buying lunches for those lucky fellas. My comments have been, "It was a good football game."
I'm not flying to Tampa Bay. We'll get better soon.
Go Rams!!!
