Something In The Works ????

Mr H Lector,

Why Do You Start Every Word With A Capital Letter?
Is It A Signature Of Some Sort?

[Fargo Ram Fan]

As I stated earlier...the Carter thing ISNT OVER. He called Warner and personally apologized for last weeks mess. He has also parted ways with his agent of several years(many said the agent was behind last weeks BS). This guy will be wearing a RAM uniform before all is said and done. My feeling is they are letting him twist in the wind this week and will throw him a bone of an offer next week. He wants to be with this team in a bad way....and SHAME ON Rick Money for not accepting that one year offer that the team has put on the table for him....didnt peg this guy as the greedy type. 3/4 of a mill to play with THIS team for another year and hes looking ELSE WHERE?? All respect is gone for Rick. Maybe we can get him to take DEX with him.

[rams=nfl1]

About Jonnny Morton...no. I can't stand him, and he will want too much money

Why Do You Start Every Word With A Capital Letter?

I Know, It Drives People Crazy !!!
I Can't Help It.
It's Because, I Work With A Security Control System, And The Commands Have To Start With Captials
(It's A LONG STORY). Anyway - It's Just Easier For Me, To Continue To Write/Type With Capitals....

I Guess It's A Signature....
There's Only One Other Person I Know (That I've See On A Forum), Who Types The Way I Do.
And She Works With The Same Type of Software That My Company Uses.
It Takes A Lot of Getting Used To....
But After A While, It Justs Comes Natual.
"I'm Sorry, If It Bugs You."
Like I Wrote, It Drives A Lot of People Crazy.

Why, Is Chris Carter Shopping Himself To The Saints & Dolphins ???
If He Wants To Be A Ram SO BAD - Why Is He Goofing Around With These Other Teams ???
It's This Messing Around With Other Teams, Which Put Him In The Dog House With Mike Martz (After Martz Went Out on A Limb For Him).

You Wrote: "....and SHAME ON Rick for not accepting that one year offer that the team has put on the table for him...."

He Probably Would Have If Not For This Chris Carter Mess !!!

Ricky Proehl Should Have Been The Guy To Step Into the Number 3 Receiver Position After Az Hakim Departed (Why - Because It Was Fair And Right !!).
But, Instead of Making Ricky Proehl Feel Needed And Part of the Team - Mike Martz Gets Into The Chris Carter Mess.

Chris Carter Said, "It's All About The Ring."

If That's True, He Would Sign For A Veteran Minimum - And Stop Trying To Drive Up The Price By Bidding Teams Against Each Other.

The Guy Is A Cancer !!!

He Isn't Even On The Team, And He's Already Driven A Wedge Between ONE of Our Key Veteran Players - And The Coaching Staff.
He's Also Caused "Ill Feelings" Between Two Other Key Veterans.

One of The Things, That Makes This Team So Special - Is Their Collective Character !!!
Chris Carter Has Proven, There Is No "I" In The Word "TEAM".

[Mr.Blond]

I like the "caps" Karl, espeically since you explained yourself. Hannibal Lector? It adds something to the forum. Take care

[DODRAM]

Carter has consistently been a "me" player, I would have been worried if we had signed him but I reckon he has burned his boats with Martz and there are plenty of WR's out there who want to play for the Rams and have a chance of a SB ring

[evil disco man]

It disappoints me to see fellow Ram fans put down Ricky like that. He has always been a team player. A player of his caliber shouldn't be playing fourth receiver in the NFL. I'm not saying that he should be starting for the Rams, just saying he could make a bigger impact elsewhere.

The truth is that we don't know him personally, so we shouldn't be making automatic assumptions that he is only playing for money. Look what happened in these forums when Leonard Little turned down the Rams' "first" offer. Everyone went crazy, accusing him of being a gold-digger. Then he later accepts the same deal a while later. There could be (and probably are) other circumstances involved in his decision that we don't know about.

:shield:

[Mr.Blond]

Evil is right. I jumped the gun on Little, I won't do it this time with Pro. Also, the guy isn't making the big bucks either, and he wants to support the family for life, not have to go work at Mickey D's for $5.50 an hour. I can't say i blame him for looking, although I would like the guy to stay. GO RAMS.

[RamDez]

My thoughts on Ricky are changing a wee bit ...............

I have no problem with the guy looking around to see if he can get some more money, no problem at all.

I think we all have to remember he is yet one more year older come the season.
Looking behind the Rams office door, I bet thats in their mind as well.

Contrary to popular opinion, Rams interested in Johnnie Morton.


Rams interested in signing wide receiver cut by Lions

As the Rams sort through their options at wide receiver, another option cropped up when the Detroit Lions released Johnnie Morton.

Rams officials said the club is definitely interested in Morton. In fact, the Rams were in the process of setting up a visit with Morton on Friday afternoon. Any visit would take place after next week, following the NFL owners meetings in Orlando, Fla. Whether the Rams can afford Morton and whether he's willing to be a No. 3 receiver in St. Louis remains to be seen. Morton, 30, was released by the Lions on Thursday, one day before he was due a roster bonus of $1 million. Morton was scheduled to make a base salary of $3 million this coming season and would have counted $5.34 million against the salary cap.

Morton was a first-round draft pick of the Lions in 1994 out of Southern California. He has never made the Pro Bowl, but he's caught 61 or more passes in each of the past five seasons, and has logged four 1,000-yard seasons in the NFL. Last season, he caught 77 passes for a career-high 1,154 yards.

At 6-0, 190, Morton can make the tough catch as well as anybody in the NFL. His release came as a surprise in Detroit, because earlier this week coach Marty Mornhinweg said the Lions planned to keep him.

Free-agent receivers Joe Jurevicius of the New York Giants and Terrence Wilkins of Indianapolis visited Rams Park on Friday. They followed Jacquez Green of Tampa Bay, who was in a week earlier. One thing is certain: the Rams' No. 3 receiver in 2002 will not be Cris Carter. Carter has left a couple of phone messages for Martz since last week's visit fiasco, but Martz hasn't returned those calls.

Barber to EaglesLinebacker Shawn Barber, a free agent from the Washington Redskins, was scheduled to arrive in St. Louis on Friday evening for a visit. But Barber canceled his visit, instead signing a one-year deal with Philadelphia.

The Rams would like to add another outside linebacker, and Chicago restricted free agent Warrick Holdman remains one possibility.

Offer made to LandetaRams officials confirmed that the team made a one-year, $750,000 contract offer to veteran punter Sean Landeta. But Landeta decided to stay with Philadelphia, signing a one-year deal. Landeta punted for the Rams from 1993-96.

Martz and La RussaMartz has talked to Cardinals manager Tony La Russa a few times on the phone, but they've never met. That changes Sunday when Martz will take in the Cardinals' spring training game against the Florida Marlins in Viera, Fla.

Martz is leaving today for Orlando and the NFL owners meetings. "It's about an hour from Orlando," Martz said. "I'm going to rent a car and just go. I've never been to spring training before."

La Russa has invited Martz to watch the game with him in the Cardinals' dugout. "I don't know Tony that well, but I like him," Martz said. "I'm kind of anxious to meet him."

hmmmm, not sure on the Morton situation, I don't think he will want to play the 3rd reciever role, he'll want to start somewhere!!! also I just don't think we can AFFORD HIM!

On the Ricky situation I agree with Mr.Blond, he has to look out for himself and his family but I still would love him to sign on the dotted line for the RAMS!

[Karl-Baker]

One thing is certain: the Rams' No. 3 receiver in 2002 will not be Cris Carter. Carter has left a couple of phone messages for Martz since last week's visit fiasco, but Martz hasn't returned those calls.

You Know What Would Be Funny....

Is If Mike Martz, Signed Chris Carter To A Deal (Remember - He Has No Agent Now).
And Then Right Before The Draft.....
Traded Him To Another Team For A Draft Pick !!!

Oh My Gosh, That Would Be Funny !!!!

That Would Teach Carter To "Stand Up" Mad Mike !!!!

How Funny !!!

The last paragraph on the link sums it up quite nicely. Whats with calling Carter a 'cancer'. A...hes a first ballot hall of famer who is second only to Jerry Rice as the most prolific pass catcher in NFL HISTORY....and B....hes played his ENTIRE CAREER with primarily ONE TEAM. CANCER??? Gimme a break. Whats with this POLLY ANNA nonsense about poor little Ricky Proehl and his feelings? The man HAS a role on the team and HAS an offer on the table....PERIOD. This isnt the KINDER GENTLER NFL last time I checked. Its about WINNING...and KNOWING your role. You talk of Carter as though hes the ANTI CHRIST. Hes a man of God with a FANTASTIC WORK ETHIC. Cancer(THE most over used catch phrase in sports)...good one. I wonder how ANY veteran would have acted the last couple of years watching that TOOL Randy Moss pull the crap he has pulled. The window of opportunity is CLOSING in the near future for this squad. They have won NOTHING since Martz was named head coach....keep that in mind. If you wanna hang your hat on NFC Champs...enjoy....but all thatll get ya is a POOR DRAFT POSITION and a TOUGHER SCHEDULE...and to see this bunch UNDER ACHIEVE is a damn shame.
