NCAA in town , National coverage on St. Louis . SIU still in it GO SALUKIES......But I just don't like Basketball , like I used to . When I was a kid......Dr. J and Wilt the Stilt , Bill Walton , Pistol Pete , Larry Bird , Majic Johnson , Bill Lambier .....just to name a few , Man These guys............They we're exciting , THEY PLAYED FOR THE NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY.......NOT THE NAME ON THE BACK . I can not stand the attitudes of todays athletes......DON'T GET ME WRONG........I'm not talkin about these kids in the NCAA Tournament..........But the system . I can not believe.....the way the game has changed . It used to be ......Poetry........it used to be........Amazeing..........I'll Guarentee you that , Back in the day , The Bull @!%&* that goes on with these Millionaire PRETENDERS today would'nt have Cut it........with the guys I mentioned above . I'm sorry but I have a hard time getting excited about any Basketball , above High School . I'd rather pay $5.00 to sit in a gym and watch a High school game . The athletes on the court , may not be the best in the land , but they come to play every min. of every game ......period . The game is just funner to watch.......when it means something.......It seems that these guys are inconvienenced........because they have to actually have to play........OOoooohhhhhh what have we done to your game Dr. Naismith ? Why could'nt Michael play for ever ? When did we stop calling Technicals ? When did we allow the poetic game of yester year .........to become this STREET GAME...........Run by Money grubbing scoundrals......Who play us fans for a bunch of saps . And WHAT IS UP WITH THE OFFICIATING ? i CAN'T BELIEVE IT . i GUESS WE'LL CALL IT ...........progress.
Can some one PLEASE tell me why the rams just spent a Gazillion dollars on a reciever ? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but ......Did'nt LIKE the entire LEAGUE run all over uslast year ? EXCUSE ME........EXCUSE ME........COACH..........uuuuhhhhhh coach.........we just let a picture perfect Linebacker go to anouther team .......probably the best runstuffer on the market , and one of the best in the league . I'm starting to worry guys . Your starting to remind me of another Football team that used to call our fair city home . So let me get this straight .......we're letting our 3rd. Reciever GO........So that we can spend more money on another 3rd. Reciever . And while we were buisy working that nail biter.........The teams with a head on their shoulders , scooped up all the best Defensive players availible on the market . AND I'M SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT YOU WANT TO WIN A SUPER BOWL ? Ya know I'm sure this new reciever is tallented . I'm Sure I'll at least like him better than I like Linehan . Last year the Rams told us how they were all commited to THE RUN......THEN......All they wanted to do was pass.........now they pay up , for another reciever . Nice way of paying back a guy who gave his all to ya coach . A reliable 3rd. guy who simply got the job done . Well I hope this new toy you just bought , can stop the run Coach . Or you just might be looking for a new job in "08" . If you can't plug that GAPING HOLE in your defense then I don't care if this new guy is Jerry freakin Rice OK . He'll get his TD or two here and there , and you'll be behind 42- 17 . Comeon Rams.........get it together ....
Hello every one.....We have a 14 yr. old who has always liked Basketball . This year he tried out and made his school team .

Co. area please chime in HELP ME OUT......

Who knows who we'll get.........Right now I'm just reveling in the glow of a pending Draft that means something in St. Louis........We're gonna be players , and the Future begins .....This Year..........I'm more than satisfied with all The Blues Organization has done since taking over.......THE ONLY thing I'd say they errored on was raising ticket prices before the season......BUT they have since dropped the prices for next year to a more realistic figure and alls well in the Blue Nation..........I havent bought season tickets in a number of years , But it might be time .......within three years folks....The Blues will be the hottes ticket in town.......We are about to see some amazing young talent rollin in for a while and it's about time.......THANKS BLUES.....Well I'm interested in hearing what everyone else thinks , SO CHIME IN.......
