Why Your Team Sucks: St. Louis Rams
“Why Your Team Sucks” is a new feature that will merely be an excuse to talk shit about the rest of the conference. Yeah, this will make us a lot of friends.
Why They Suck: With the “Greatest Show on Turf” long dead–all key contributors gone; Warner, Bruce, Faulk, Holt, Martz, and now Pace–the Rams are in the midst of trying to find their identity. One place they should start looking: the basement of the NFC West.
Los Angeles’ St. Louis’ version of a pro football team hasn’t put together a winning season since 2003, but one football outsider has them pegged at “almost even odds of becoming this year’s ‘miracle’ team.” Now, I realize, in terms of jinxes, that this isn’t in the same league as appearing on the cover of Madden or Sports Illustrated, but you can’t help but get the feeling that Steven Jackson’s breaking his femur around Week 3.
Great Moments In History… Of Sucking Being Pretty Awesome: In 1994, former Rams quarterback Jim Everett, then a member of the New Orleans Saints, went on ESPN’s Talk2 with Jim Rome to do whatever it was athletes did on Talk2. After Rome called Jim “Chris” for the umpteenth time–a slight to lacking mental toughness in his years with St. Louis–Chris Jim proceeded to move effortlessly through the pesky set equipment and quickly make work of Rome’s trembling skeleton.
More Reasons They Suck: I don’t care if she has long hair now, or had cancer then?, the in-the-stands frolicking of Brenda Warner during the late ’90′s glory days was enough to make me and my balls cringe.

“I know there’s never been a quarterback that won five Super Bowls, so if I have one goal and one thing I would love to be remembered for, it would be to win five.” – Kurt Warner.
The insufferable, semi-talented oaf said this after his first Super Bowl win. Sadly enough, he never reached that elusive 2nd Super Bowl ring.
This was the image that stuck out in my mind. These are the words that made me think that St. Louis is going to be a cursed team.
My opinion is based off of the belief that one does not have to be talented to put the ball into very capable hands. Especially if those capable hands are wide-open due to the fact that you have one of the most fierce competitors in the league rushing behind you.
There was no competition for the St. Louis Rams when they took the Super Bowl. The next year, when the competition was “slightly” better, they couldn’t cut the mustard.
I believe Kurt Warner cursed the St. Louis Rams. That is another reason why they do, and always will, suck.
That’s all you have?
1. The Rams haven’t won in a while.
2. Jim Everett beat up Jim Rome.
3. And a crack at Brenda Warner?
Really?
Nothing about potentially breaking the record for worst-ever DVOA last year?
Nothing about starting Brock Berlin…Brock Berlin!
There’s quite a few more options to choose from than the three you picked.
Jeff, you’re right; I’ve let the world down. But, in all fairness, Brock Berlin did go to the U, and any quarterback from the U is okay in my book.
Sincerely,
Kyle Wright
Out of all these teams I actually liked watching the Rams played in the late 90′s. But yeah, when a ref punches out Donnie Avery, you’ve reached the bottom of the well.
Brock Berlin is a soldier
Ok, i’ll be a big boy and take my medicine in St. Louis, but i cannot listen to anyone from Chicago comment on quarterbacks. Period. And one Super Bowl title in the last twenty years still beats your none. I hope (seriously) that Cutler can get that rock to Hester, cause i’m not sure who else is gonna catch it. Oh, by the way, if the Rams are so bad, what’s with you guys picking up all of our cast-offs?
Fair enough, but:

Your leading tackler for the last 20 gazillion years and perennial Pro Bowl left tackle would like to have a word with you.
Okay the St.Louis Rams have had some horrible seasons, but when was the last time the Chicago Koala Bears won a Super Bowl? Answer that one and then you can say the Rams suck.
1985. The Rams suck.
