[Goldenfleece]

ESPN Magazine did a survey of 80,000 sports fans and rated the fan satisfaction of all NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL teams. The Rams finished 111th out of 122 teams.

Here's the breakdown by individual categories:

Bang-for-Buck Ranking: 109
Fan Relations Ranking: 111
Owner(s) Ranking: 111
Affordability Ranking: 109
Stadium Ranking: 114
Players Ranking: 109

Wow, the only fan bases less satisfied with their coaches are the Falcons' and the Knicks'. Talk about being on the hot seat.

That is not very good. No wonder the dome is half empty all the time.

If we must have a coach leave i'd prefer it be Linehan than Haslett or Saunders.

I wonder how my girlfriend would rank me in Bang-for-Buck Ranking?

I wonder how my girlfriend would rank me in Bang-for-Buck Ranking?

How much does she have to pay per performance? and how many other guys does she have in her comparision bucket?

Hey Nick, you have a sense of humor after all. That was good. Show it more.

[Ramer]

That's pretty funny UtterBlitz! As far as coaches, I am not to impressed with Haslett either. Let's see what he does with the defense this year.

I hate domes. When I was at the EJD, I felt like I was in an airport hanger. If it wasn't for the big Rams emblem at the 50 yd line, I wouldn't have known where I was.

I find it pretty ironic too that more noise is made at Arrowhead (Outdoor Std) than at EJD (Indoor).

I could believe this ranking. If I was Rosenbloom I would read this and say, wow major changes needed, fire Shaw and Zygy, and everyone else and hire a bunch of new Business Grads to run the business side and a bunch of ClanRam guys to run the football side of it. Either way a job should be waiting for me at the top!

Why does that surprise anyone?? I've been following this team since 1978. When they moved to the Big "A", I used to hate seeing more fans of the opposing team,then of the RAMS. While I really do believe that MOST of you on this board are hard core ramsfans, there are many, many soft fans. Fans who only go for the rams when they are winning,who are not necessarily on clanram. Some of you will say, "yeah, but isn't that true of all teams"? Oh really, why do the browns have a strong following and haven't won jack since, the dinosaur age? How about the Philadelphia Eagles, they haven't won anything since Jesus walked this earth. I'm not referring to fan behavior, rather passion for their teams. There are other teams. Let's face it, it comes down to Hardcore, I bleed blue and gold, I don't give a D**N how this team does, they are still my team. Many STL fans are weak and so are Many LA fans. There I said it. Maybe I'm missing the point, but I don't care. If we are ever to improve on any rankings, if it is so important, then we need #1 Management who cares , whose number #1 Priority is WINNING (ala George S, Daniel S, Mark Cuban, etc). Are these people hated?? Hell yes. But I respect them , because they want to win. I never said some of their "moves" are justified, but winning seems to be "A" priority. Come on RAMS Management and some of you fans. Toughen up and demonstrate some intestinal fortitude. We Want a WiNNER NOW!

I don't know, but if she has you on a list with 121 other names over the last 3 years, there might be bigger questions to ask than where you rank.

I'd like to think I'm probably in line with the manufacturer's suggested retail price, but on good days she might be able to get a clearance sale.

I don't know, but if she has you on a list with 121 other names over the last 3 years, there might be bigger questions to ask than where you rank.

Especially since we've dated for nearly five!

Blood,you are absolutely right about Eagle fans and their passion as I live right here in the midst of it.They never win anything but their fans are there packing that stadium yelling their heads off every game.
It doesn't matter if they are a sure playoff team or a team like we were last year they are always diehard.
I am a Philly fan in every other sport (Phils,Flyers ,Sixers) and fully support my teams and have passion when I go to games.I bring that same passion when I visit the EJD to watch our Rams play.
