The Rams may in fact be done adding receivers to their roster, barring injury. This news will come as a disappointment to many who feel that the Rams lack of proven commodities behind WR Donnie Avery will hogtie the offense once the season starts. The Rams flirted with former Oklahoma State and current WFL WR Prentiss Elliot this summer, even giving him a private workout in June, and just last week,...

Just how important is Jason Brown to the Rams plans? Enough that the team will pay him enough to make him one of the 50 richest professional athletes in the US, according to Sports Illustrated's "Fortunate 50." Ok, so he's not making Tiger Woods money or anything like that, but Brown, an offensive lineman, made the list, tied at #48 with 36-year-old MLB pitcher Derek Lowe. Now, let's put...

Like so many of you here, I'm a life long, die hard Ram's fan, so that makes this story that much better. It's a great story even if you are not a Rams fan. I don't know if many members of TST know a lot about Mike Karney other than he is an extremely talented fullback. I'll give a bit more background on the bruising fullback. Mike grew up in a subarb of Seattle, WA. For the past 2 years he has put...
