Ram's Opponents: Fear the Field Goal!

In what should have been a blowout, the Rams kicked SIX, count 'em, six field goals to beat the mighty Denver Broncos yesterday.

At first glance, this ain't no "Greatest Show on Turf," but Wilkins is the MAN. The D was opportunistic and pretty darn strong.

In a major disappointment, however, the Rams fans acted like fools. They booed as Bulger took a knee at the end of the game.

Taking a knee to not run up the score is classy, people. It's what's called the "victory formation." I hope to get used to that play-calling at the end of games this season. Boo all you want, fools.

Cardinals fans can talk all they want how they're the self-appointed best baseball fans in America (a specious claim, at best), but Rams fans need to think more about playing the game correctly rather than worrying about Jackson, Bulger, Holt, or Bruce's fantasy stats.

When I was a kid, I had the blessing of playing on a good soccer team. We commonly would end the game around half-time because of our score being too far above the other team's. There is an element of good sportsmanship in that gesture, but at the same time it robs the other team of a chance to make a dramatic come-back. Also, in order to have freedom of opportunity in America, we have to also allow people the freedom of failure.
