1-3-10 Rams VS 49ERS

1/3/10

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…”

Greetings Rams Fans.  We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday whether you celebrate it or not and that Santa or whomever brought you everything on your wish list.  Bret would get his usual lump of coal, which is ok by him as he plans on opening his own power plant one day with all the coal he’s collected over the years. 

Well the Rams would be on the road today to take on our old pal Kurt Warner and the Arizona Cardinals.  So we would find Bloomer Bret once again at Bruno’s American Grill and Pub.  Seems we just played these guys, which we did about a month ago at the dome.

Jimmy, Kapper and Pete join Bret in watching the miserable performance by the Rams. At least Bret was festive.

Again this was a rare 3:05 starting game so Bret wouldn’t be the first one and he wouldn’t get his favorite seat due to the folks that showed up to watch other games.  He wound up having to sit at a table (bummer).  He would be joined by Bob Kapper, Jimmy and a first for the Bloomer’s site, Pete.  As always the food, drink, cigars and company were all good and a good time was had by all.

RAMS VS. CARDINALS

This was probably the last televised game we’ll see the Rams in this year folks.  Most of you will probably say who cares.  The Rams rookie QB Null was back to his first game form and would weind up throwing three interceptions.  Along with a fumble on a punt return by Amendola and Warner would carve the Rams up getting free opportunities.  The end result would be 31-10.

The Rams actually, believe it or not, were in the game for a good three and a half quarters.  But Null either over threw or under threw some wide open receivers and that cost the Rams.  On the first play after the kick off, after the Rams had just scored, a Rams’ corner dropped an interception right in his hands that would have been an easy 6 points.  That might have swung the tide but after that, Warner recomposed and marched his team down the field.  Cest-la-vie.

The Rams would be without Steven Jackson who was nursing a sore back and without him, the Rams offense drops into a black hole.  Null would wind up picking himself up off the ground early and often.  Welcome to the bigtime and the Rams kid.  Can you say “ouch”?

That’s it for this week folks.  Next week we have the San Francisco 49ers coming to the dome and it’s a pretty safe bet it will be blacked out.  Again, STUPID, STUPID rule.

Have a good week Rams Fans and a wonderful and joyous New Year.  Don’t drink too much champagne, get a designated driver and have fun but most of all, watch your top knot.

12/20/09 Rams Vs. Texans

12/20/09

Greetings Rams Fans.  Well the Rams would be home today in the dome to take on the Houston  Texans.  So we would find Bloomer Bret once again at Bruno’s American Grill and Pub.  NOT!  No today Bret actually went to the game.  First one in two years.  The son calls and says “hey, I have two free club seats with $100 in club concession gift cards, wanna go?  Well folks seeing as how the idiots in the NFL blacked out the game again, what choice was there?

Before we get into today’s game, let us comment again on how asinine the NFL’s black out rule is.  Hey NFL, how about joining the 21st century for crying out loud?  We’d also like to comment on the firing/release/cutting, call it whatever you want, of Mr. Bad Boy Richie Incognito.  He stated he harbors no bad feelings and that he is just a very competitive person that hates to lose.  Ok, we can accept that.  Too bad everyone on the team doesn’t feel that way.  Nonetheless you release that aggression during the plays, not after them.  (Editor’s note: Incognito was picked up on waivers by Buffalo where he promptly drew three penalties)

Ok, back to this week.  Bret and David would have a good time drinking and eating on someone else’s nickel.  However due to the difficulties the personnel had at the dome trying to figure out how gift cards work, they would only spend half of their $100 and would both have to buck up some of their hard earned cash.  Hey dome goombahs, if you’re going to issue gift cards, make sure the staff knows how to use them.  We did find one intelligent bartender who had her stuff together and knew how they worked.  Unfortunately we found her moments before the game expired.

David and Bret are all smiles as they prepare to head down to the Rams game. "Hey, they've got $100 drinking money free"! Woo-hoo!

RAMS VS. TEXANS

Folks it was a very boring game with two weak defenses trying to stop even worse offenses.  The same core group of individuals shined over all the other Rams players.  Coaching is still dull and unimaginable.  Null improved over his first game but he still made a couple of costly mistakes.  This however was his second game, Bulger makes them all the time and doesn’t have that as an excuse.

The Rams would hold a lead at half time only to lose 16-13.  Ho hum.  The Rams are on the road next week heading for the desert and the Arizona Cardinals.  Look for another muy grande “L” to show up in the Rams column.  Folks have a great week.  May you all have a very merry holiday and may this find you and your loved ones in good health.  As always, “watch your top knot”.
