Well from the looks of it the Rams and Chiefs are on their way to another dismal season… Shocking, I know. I find these games extremely hard to watch for more than a few minutes. This must make me a horrible fan, or somebody who would rather watch MTV’s True Life than a glorified college team get embarrassed.
Although sad times have fallen upon pro football in Missouri, we can think back to 1999 when the “Greatest Show on Turf” emerged and at the helm of this brilliant offensive attack was none other than quarterback/bad ass Kurt Warner. Reminiscent of a 2007-2008 Tom Brady, this gun slinger torched defenses, tossing the ball effortlessly down the field to Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt or Ricky Proehl (equally bad ass receiving corps). Churning out touchdown after touchdown, the Rams marched to the Super Bowl where they defeated the Titans in a down-to-the-wire slug fest.
The show went on and they made it back to the Super Bowl in 2002 where they were eventually defeated by the New England Belichicks a.k.a the New England Clam Cheaters a.k.a. the New England Patriots via last minute field goal.
Since then it’s been a downward spiral for the Rams, who apparently had their fifteen minutes. Plagued by injuries and inconsistency it seems as if it will be a while before they return to the team that made pro football so much fun to watch. Big thanks to Kurt though, nearing age forty he’s still throwing the pigskin like crazy out there in Arizona.
Enough reminiscing for now! Let’s focus on the awesome week of sports that is about to commence. The St. Louis Cardinals are officially making their way into the October/November hunt for greatness otherwise known as the MLB postseason. The Redbirds fly out to the City of Angels this week to take on Manny and the Dodgers. Game is Wednesday the 7th and starts at 8:37 p.m. central time so everybody tune in and cheer on the Cards! Prediction: 3-2 Cards. On Thursday we have an epic football game when the number 21 ranked Nebraska Corn Huskers come to the Zou to take on the number 24 ranked Missouri Tigers for the Missouri-Nebraska Bell! This one starts at 8 p.m. central time so put on your black and gold, have a beer, soda, green tea or whatever crazy concoction makes you feel good and watch the Tigers bring the pain! Prediction: 34-21 MU.
I haven’t blogged in a while so hopefully I get back on track. Be on the lookout for some more thought provoking and, dare I say interesting, blogs in the future. Until the next time, God bless.
