One of my favorite moments of the game was watching the split screen of Whis and Linehan on FOX during one of the challenges..

Linehan looked as tightly wound as anyone I've ever seen - a meltdown waiting to shoot out of his inner bowl to be visible to the entire world.

Meanwhile, Whisenhunt's expression remain placid and unchanged (as though he was enjoying a peewee game).

Linehan had that "Loser City" look. Whis appeared to have the confidence of a winner.

That's all I'm gonna say.

I got this nugget from one of the St. Louis papers:

The "Greatest Show" years were special, and I'll always be grateful for the experience of watching the Rams during that brief and shining era. But the fact is, this organization has had only four winning records over the last 17 (soon to be 18) seasons.

Considering they had the Cards before us, you would think they would be use to the culture of losing.

Go Cards!!!

I went to one of my favorite places to watch games up here in NorCal this weekend, but it's a notorious Rams/Raiders place. Classic bar, though, been around for over 30 years and always shows every game on their many TV's. Best part is, cheap (and good) food and drinks. The owner just replaced his old TV's with 11 40-something inch HDTV's and new HDTV receivers. 8 of the 9 early games were in HD, which rocked.

I rolled in a little late (game tied 3-3) and spotted a friend, sat down. Just happened to be right behind a table of 3 Rams fans, one wearing an old school Dickerson jersey.

As usual, I was polite. I clapped and reacted accordingly when the Cards would make a play, and Dickerson noticed that the enemy was in his midst. He had been quiet and cool up to that point, but started getting vocal and was clearly trying to annoy me. OK, time to turn into a-hole mode.

I made every effort to piss this guy off once he started it. Yapping about their lousy players, how far they had fallen since their "Greatest Show on Turf" era, made endless fun of Gus Frerotte, did the old "slow clap" very loudly on every positive Cards play, etc. It was a joy. I was absolutely incessant, which isn't my style.

Then the Rams boys get a little hope with the late TD. I yell at them, "Larry Fitzgerald's going to recover the onside, no use in trying!". And you know the rest.

I walked out clapping, mocking, just a great time, really. Although I wished the Cards could have beat the Rams more decisively, this was pretty fun.

Great story Nurnay! I always try to give opposing fans the benefit of the doubt. But I can easily go into a-hole mode. This is what's probably gotten me in a few near bangs because of it.

I was at the game an would consider the majority of Ram fans gracious and humble. There were a few nutballs, but thats to be expected.

My son dressed as the ROADBIRD, a red feathered outfit, and many of the fans asked to take a picture with him. When we went to a game in Chicago with him in the same get up it was like night and day. Obsenities were flying around like crazy.
