[general counsel]

This is the second most depressing moment in my 40 year history as a rams fan. Only the loss in super bowl 36 is more painful than this. This is worse than the loss to carolina in the playoffs, worse than all the championship game losses in the 1970's, worse than the playoff loss in 1969.

Bottom line is that the bid ask couldnt have been more than a couple of million dollars. Bruce has sacrificed time and again over the years for this team. Not just in effort on the field, leadership in the locker room and time in the community, but in money. The salary cap is 118 million. I am sure there is room for a couple of million extra dollars to find a way to make Ike happy and feel wanted. They cut him once and got away with it and i am sure that wont happen again. I believe that Bruce can still play at a high level and it just kills me that it has come to this over what in the big picture is very small money.

The franchise is rudderless. Misguided. Run by attorneys with no football knowledge to speak of. Public relations considerations cast aside completely. Indifference to the fans. This is a place where chip rosenbloom could have made a stand and just said Guys, we arent cutting Isaac Bruce over a couple of million bucks. Instead, he is a distant uninvolved figure who says I want to bring a title back to st louis. What a bunch of crap. Great way for him to start his ownership regime. The responsibility goes to the top. There wasnt enough money involved here for the rams to dig in. We need new ownership.




ramming speed to all and God Bless the Reverend Ike
