Is there anyone else out here in Ramsland who is as happy as I am that Warner and his mouthy wife are finally gone from us? Hopefully he will do well in NY or whereever he goes but I say good riddance as he and his wife were a cancer in the clubhouse. :helmet:

Re: Warner finally gone?
Warner's presence on this team created a load of controversy at the quarterback position, and I'm happy that that aspect will be done and over with.
But that said, I'm not happy to see him leave. Kurt was a class act and will always be one of my favorite Rams players. He really helped take this game to a whole new level, and I'll always miss seeing him in blue and gold. -

Re: Warner finally gone?
I'm not gonna bad mouth the man, he really was a sweetheart of a guy and his wife equally wonderful to know. But football isn't a game won by being nice. Reality bites, but regardless of his stellar few seasons, he hasn't been playing on a MVP level lately. I don't even expect him to, but he is expected to be realistic about his shortcomings, and he's ignored them once too often. You don't play 98% of a game with a concussion without everyone questioning your common sense.
I feel for the guy, I really do. Right now everyone is focused on the negative. I'll miss him at training camp, but I can't say I'll miss him on the playing field. I do hope he can find his place somewhere in the league, but if I were him, I'd be looking for a spot OFF the field. He still has talents, just not so sure he has any left as an active QB. (Those who can, do, those who can't [anymore], teach.) Just a thought.Comment

Re: Warner finally gone?
Yeah! "Class Acts" should demand that their wives stay in the kitchen and mind their own business. By golly if she ever steps out line she should hear about it! She will do what the "class act" wants of her -- or else!Originally posted by woodyramfan1
Give me a break!
First of all, Brenda Warner is responsible for her own actions. Kurt isn't the one that dictates how she behaves and it is unfair to hold him accountable for what his wife does. He can talk to her and ask her to refrain from calling talk shows, but he can't "force" her to do (or not do) anything.
Secondly, I am going on the record and saying that we will all miss Kurt. His days aren't over, and when he is tearing up the league next year we will all see what we "used to have" and be sad that we let it go.
If I am wrong about that you can rub it in my face, but that is my prediction.Comment

Re: Warner finally gone?
I find it so amusing when trolls show up. The mentality that goes into a football fan's mind sometimes is amazing to me. If a football player is arrested for drunk driving, kills someone, is involved with spousal abuse, does drugs, holds out for money to the detriment of the team or is just a bad character in general it quietly gets swept under the rug. But when a wife defends her husband it's the end of the world.
You can tell that I'm really bored since I'm even replying to this nonsense. I suggest that a "trial period" be instituted for new members if it hasn't already. I get the distinct impression that this particular person is only trying to stir the pot.Comment

Re: Warner finally gone?
Well I wont cann him a troll, thats a bit off.
But I will say that attacking a players wife is way over the top and is not deserved, nor expected on this site.

Re: Warner finally gone?
I am neither a troll or a disturbed person. But I do believe the team will be better off without Warner. Leonard Little has a lot to atone for but as of yet his actions as deblorable as they were are not hurting the team. It would be better for all concerned if he were to be traded to some other team. If my wife were to get involved with my job I truly believe we would have problems and that is not to say I abuse her or even run the household. I would never get involved with her job either. Sorry if I :ramlogo: upset you Warner hanger ons but I too hope Warner has sucess elsewhere but I strongly doubt if he willComment

Re: Warner finally gone?
You know, I am not going to get to far into this re hashed argument again but I have to reply to that last post.
How the heck do you compare someone like Warner with someone like Little?
Are you saying Little is a better person?

Re: Warner finally gone?
It'll certainly be hurting the team if he's found guilty and thus suspended again by the NFL, or if the Rams just decide to cut ties with him because of his behavior, which I could see them doing.Originally posted by woodyramfan1Comment

Re: Warner finally gone?
Dez In no way was I comparing Warner to Little was just answering a quote from someone else who mentioned people only get upset when Warner's wife called talk radio and not over Littles problems. They are in no way comparable.Comment

Re: Warner finally gone?
You know what.
I 10 years when we are all sitting at a ClanRam Bash in St Louis talking about old times and remembering our first of may Superbowls. We will think kindly of Mr Warner and what he accomplished with our Team.
then, I will lean over, tap you on the shoulder and say ...... "told you so"
So why down we all turn over a new leaf, realize that Kurt has moved on and not get all *****y about it.
I'm game, who's with me?

Hey guys, so I told you guys about a week ago that I'd give you more details on what I meant by saying that I hung out with Kurt Warner...
I was invited to a flag football tournament out in Arizona. A bunch of NFL guys come out for the event (it's sponsored by Kurt Warner at the Arizona Cardinals' training facility; they had guys like Michael Irvin, Joe Flacco, Andy Dalton, Steve Young, Brock Osweiler, and more) and, essentially, play QB for the teams. There were about six or eight teams, I'm not exactly sure how many, but all of them were basically sports supplement companies. I was lucky enough to be a part of one of my good friend's team. We wound up getting Andy Dalton for our QB. He's a very nice guy, laid back, down to Earth. I, of course, asked him about Sam Bradford. He said, like most people say, that he thinks he's pretty good and they just need to get him some weapons. Fair enough.
I briefly met with Kurt Warner, and I told him what a huge fan I am of him and the Rams. He said something to the effect of "oh that's pretty cool man." He wasn't necessarily thrilled or anything, but I also know he was trying to run an event and was pretty overwhelmed.
And let me tell you something about Kurt. Really nice guy off the field. But on the field, (or with any competitive thing he does, for that matter) he's always trying to win. No matter what it is, he'll get mad if he's not winning! But that's not really a bad thing. He's fiery and passionate. It's a good thing.
I'd say out of all the guys there, Irvin was probably the most outgoing and friendly. Everyone there was pretty cool though and it was a great experience. Caught a few TDs from Andy (wished it was from Kurt or, maybe next year, Sammy) so I felt good about that!
Here's a pic of me and Kurt.

Super happy to know that he began his career as a Ram and brought them to the SB twice with a 1-1 record (would've been 2-0 if the cheats were'nt cheats) And who knows, if Mad Mike didnt pull the plug too soon we could've probably gotten more. All Warner was missing yesterday was some DBs and STEVEN JACKSON!!!-01-17-2010, 01:41 AM -

I have a lot of respect for Kurt Warner, and a lot of great memories for what he's done in his career. I think in the right situation, he can still produce. But I'm sorry... considering retirement because he doesn't know if he could be comfortable as a back-up?...-10-12-2006, 12:40 PM -
Kurt Warner – A Fond Farewell To A Great Man
By Barry Waller
June 3rd, 2004
There are times when covering an NFL team that even the biggest fan
might find to be more work than enjoyment. Dealing with professional athletes
is a real pain at times, and trying to give fans the true story when so many rumors have sent them into so many directions is even worse. While there are times that the words fly out of a writer’s mind onto the pages he is composing, there are others when sitting down and rehashing the facts to tell a tale is almost excruciating. If I am doing a column twenty years from now, I probably won’t have had to labor over a story as much as this one.
Oh, sure, nobody died, no beloved sports figure met his maker far too young on the day after Memorial Day, which is the toughest stuff to cover from a personal side; but in a lot of ways, it seems like something truly died for Ramsnation when the team released Kurt Warner. When the long predicted move was made official this past Wednesday however, there was no outcry from Rams fans, no wail of sorrow at a tragic event. Not surprisingly, Warner himself left town with the same class and good feelings that are his trademark.
Like a parent, spouse, or child who has seen a loved one slowly slip away due to illness, those of us who will never forget what #13 meant to a team and a city have little emotion left to give as the irreversible end finally came. They have gone through the same predictable emotions of anger, denial, bargaining, and depression, then a numb acceptance of our fate, as cancer victims, ever since Kurt Warner began showing he was human after all. Ironically, the most incredible and improbable feel good story in NFL history involved a man who embodies everything decent about the human animal, despite his immortal like play when at his best.
As the negative stories and feelings about Warner as the Rams quarterback appeared, they acted upon his legacy like tumors on bodily organs, some spreading and mutating to other areas. We may never know how the negative vibes played a part in what so quickly turned a two time MVP passer into a backup. If Warner shines with the Giants, another team needing the kind of miracle that Warner gave Rams fans and the world in 1999, maybe it will provide a bit of a clue.
I was at Warner’s last start, in the Meadowlands against those same Giants, and as painful as it was having to suffer with him on that day, and suffer the slings and arrows of Giants fans during and following the game, I feel blessed that I got to see as much as I could of Kurt Warner in person. It was that personal contact over the past six seasons that makes his inexplicable fall from grace so distressing.
In the NFL, everyone knows the salary cap, and other factors makes it nearly impossible to keep players for entire careers, something Rams fans have had to...-06-06-2004, 03:38 AM -
Well, Vikings horns if this has any merit....

Should Warner stay in a #2 slot hoping Leinart falters and Kurt gets another shot or is there a chance of competeing for the #1 slot in MN?:x
I know he is grasping all the brass rings he can find hoping one will be a winner, but the team hopping makes him look like, well, Jaime Martin?:\...-08-15-2007, 06:09 PM
