Those are some interesting facts of a history rich franchise, however to be accurate

* The first professional sports team to move West of the Mississippi

The St. Louis baseball franchise has been in town since 1882.

I believe the Rams were the first NFL team west of the Mississippi.

Well, actually the Saints made it in 1990 with an 8-8, but I think we are the first to WIN a playoff game with that record.

My desire for accuracy is matched only by my typically absurd and invalid opinions.

But it's my humility and modest self-image that makes me as great as I am.
