St. Louis Rams Finally Retire Deacon Jones #75

The St. Louis Rams announced on Monday that they will retire Deacon Jones #75 jersey during a 2009 home game. Deacon Jones was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980 and is arguably the best NFL defensive end of all time. Deacon Jones was credited for coining the term "sack". In addition Jones also had the great quote during a Keith Jackson interview "I've got to be the baddest dude I know of. Jones is possibly the all time leader in sacks, however the NFL did not measure sacks officially until 1982. This is a long overdue award from the Rams organization. I can't wait to go to the ceremony down at the Edward Jones Dome. Jones list of awards include two-time NFL defensive player of the year, eight pro bowl selections, and he was also selected to the NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team. Simply put Deacon Jones is one of the best football players of all time. All Rams fans should look forward to watching #75 be raised to the roof.
Amazon has a ton of Deacon Jones merchandise

We Analyze the 2009 St. Louis Rams Schedule

Well the start of the 2009 St. Louis Rams schedule is not exactly what we had hoped but it is not too bad either. The 2009 NFL schedule was released on Tuesday and the Rams will start with two straight on the road at Seattle and Washington. Then the Rams will return for their home opener against the Green Bay Packers. Game four will be on the road again against the San Francisco 49ers. Overall you have to be pretty pleased about the schedule. The Rams will get to jell on the road early and the second half of the season holds 50% division games as well as 5 of the 8 being at the Edward Jones Dome. The bye week comes at week 9 which is probably the best option. After the bye comes the key part of the Rams 2009 schedule as they get to play three straight home games against the Saints, Cardinals and Seahawks. Overall I am happy about the upcoming schedule, what are your thoughts?

2009 St. Louis Rams schedule features:

• 3 of first 4 on road

• 4 of 5 at home mid-season

• Twice back to back road games

• 4 division games last half of season

• No prime time games

• Bye at mid-season

• West coast to east coast once

Props To Donnie Fandango

Prior to tonight's NHL Playoff opener between the St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks I would like to give a shout out to Donnie Fandango of 105.7 The Point. During my drive to work each day I love to hear the passion in Donnie's voice for the St. Louis Blues. My favorite is his hatred and contempt for the Sedin twins, and when he calls them douche bags.

It sounded like there were 20,000 Donnies at the game Friday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets. I love when fans bring passion to the game, and aren't worried about texting, or where they are going on the landing after the game. We have been waiting years to watch the Blues back in the playoffs and tonight is the night. Do you bleed blue?

Watch your St. Louis Blues tonight!

Douche Bag (plural douche bags)

• A bag for holding the water or fluid used in douching.
  (vulgar, pejorative)



• A worthless person.

T.J. Oshie Scores Goal Of The Year!

NHL.com had a fans choice award poll for goal of the year. T.J. Oshie's goal against the Vancouver Canucks has won goal of the year! T.J. scored 14 goals and 25 assist, for 39 points in only 57 games played. Oshie has also been hot of late with 14 points in his last 15 games. For us St. Louis Blues fans that watch Oshie, it is not all about the points it is more his hard nose playing style and the fantastic moves and plays he can make on the ice. Take a look at the video of this fantastic goal, as Oshie takes the puck from just outside the blue line through 5 Canucks, and puts the puck into an empty net after faking everyone out.

Rams 2009 Season Begins Today!

Today is the start of the 2009 NFL season. At 6PM St. Louis time, the NFL will release the 2009 NFL schedule. Sometimes these schedules can make or break a team. Last year the St. Louis Rams started against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants and never really recovered, as they started the season 0-4. This year the schedule can be just as important. I would like to start at home opening day against the San Francisco 49ers, then go on the road against the Detroit Lions and then back home against the Seattle Seahawks. Will we get that lucky, find out tonight at 6PM on the NFL Network, or check NFL.com. I would love to have a great start like 3-0, 3-0 in the conference, and 2-0 in the division. NFL teams can build a lot of momentum from great starts.

Stay tuned...
