And (without any additional comment from me), yet another response from Bernie:

David,

No, the column didn't prompt the recent signings.

I think Zygmunt is more worried about losing his job than anything I write.

But I wish that you could somehow understand how pressure from the only newspaper in town could be valuable.

Cheers,
Bernie

Methinks he doth protest too much.

Actually, this confirms what most of us have suspected about Bernie and his type - he is not interested in being a "journalist." He actually thinks that he is somehow an influencing factor over the team. I guarantee you that if any of the Front Office Executives or Mike Martz (or any player, for that matter) read Bernie's comments on how he can "pressure" the team they would laugh (kind of the way an adult laughs at a child who says something cute and naive - bordering on stupid).

Geez, what an ego.

All I can say is that the day the team molds its actions to Bernie's pressure... well that would be a scary time for the Rams.
