Greetings Rams Fans. The Rams were back in the dome today to play their last game of the year against the 49ers and our old pal Isaac Bruuuuuuce. Just as we predicted the game was blacked out. Bloomer Bret would listen to three quarters on the radio before heading into Bruno’s American Grill and Pub. It was the most boring three quarters of football he ever listened to. It was nice that the fans in attendance gave Bruce a very nice ovation however.
Folks it’s obvious that the Rams read the Bloomer’s website because every time we mention something or suggest something, it seems the following week the team responds in the local funny paper or on one of the news sport’s segments but never to the Bloomers. That’s ok, at least we know they’re reading our reviews.
A few weeks back we discussed the fact that the Rams never advertise and never do anything for their fans. Well guess what? They responded via the newspaper last week. They stated that the organization has never advertised or done anything special because, “quite frankly, we didn’t have to”. So much for how they feel about us huh? Even though the games were sold out for so many years when they have been one of the worst football teams in history less three years.
So they bucked up and said this last game was “Fan Appreciation Day”. Whooptie friggin’ do. So they sold hot dogs at discounted prices but brought in smaller hot dogs and then ran out. They sold “souvenir sodas” at discounted prices but didn’t have any souvenir cups. Supposedly they gave away player’s jerseys but nobody knows anyone that got one. Players on the DL or IR were supposed to be out signing autographs but no one saw them that we know. Of course that could’ve been because they’re the obscure players nobody knows anyway.
What the Rams should’ve done was GIVEN AWAY the unsold tickets. Give them to underprivileged kids, give them to people who aren’t season ticket holders and have never been to a game. Give them to cops and firemen’s families as a “thanks”. There are so many people that have never been to a Ram’s game for a myriad of reasons that would’ve have loved to have gone. THE TICKETS WENT TO WASTE ANYWAY! What a bunch of nimrods we have running the PR Department for the Rams.
Rams vs. 49ers
Folks after three quarters of play and shortly into the fourth, the score was 7-6 49ers. This was a snoozer loser of a game. Penalties, fumbles and more penalties. Even the special teams that have been pretty decent as of late were penalized to death. Brown missed a chip shot field goal or the score would’ve been 9-7 Rams. But with the defense playing so stoutly even against Frank Gore, you figured “the Rams still had a chance to win this game and mess up the first round draft pick”. No sweat because at the time, Detroit was tied with Chicago and looking like they might pull off an upset as well.
Well as Bloomer Bret sat in Bruno’s enjoying good food, a fine cigar and good company, the big screen scrolled the scores across the bottom and the Rams were all of a sudden losing 28-6. ??? WHAT? According to friends who actually attended and the Sunday evening Sports Casters, it appeared the Rams just quit. Apparently they had enough for this year and basically rolled over. What a wonderful way to close out the year and the last game in front of the home town fans you’re trying to re-connect with.
That’s it Rams Fans. Another losing year and major disappointment to go with many, many years of losing and mediocrity in the history of the Rams. That said we still have to admit, at least it’s professional football in St. Louis. Although maybe the Rams organization should change the ram horn on each side of the helmet to a large “L”.
We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and may not only 2010 be a good and prosperous year for you and yours, may this entire new decade be great and prosperous. We know for Bloomer Bret the past decade had entirely too many passings of friends and family, at ages that were much too young.
Take care and stay out of trouble. Don’t take any wooden nickels. Be good folks and don’t forget, “watch your top knot”. And as we close out the end of every year, “so long for just a while…”
