On Behalf of St. Louis, Screw You Stan Kroenke and Roger Goodell

Let me spit on St. Louis before I leave

My Wednesday blogs usually focus on greatest American bands, but this whole deal with the Rams moving back to Los Angeles takes priority today. I'll get back to greatest American band tomorrow.

Now, just to get it out in the open, I'm not a Rams fan, never have been, never will be. I'm a Packers fan through and through. But, we've had the Rams in Saint Louis since I was 12 years old, my formative years of football fandom. I watched them every Sunday, until the Red Zone network was created, and it was always nice to see a pro team in my hometown. It only took them 4 years in Saint Louis to win a Super Bowl too. It was kind of cool seeing the parades and having school called off so we could watch on tv if we couldn't be there in person.

Even for a non fan. I will always remember the "Greatest Show on Turf". They were high octane, fast paced offense before it was the en vogue thing to do. Seeing guys like Marshall Faulk, Torry Holt, Issac Bruce and Kurt Warner was pretty cool. Their defense was decent too. In the late 90's, early 2000's, the Rams were a fun team to watch.

The past decade and a half though, they've been mediocre at best. People around here got excited for 8-8 seasons. That's not something to wish for. It should always be Super Bowl or bust. And the dome is a trash heap. It's one of the worst stadiums I've been to. But, they were going to build a new, outdoor stadium that looked cool and the team, although they didn't show it this season, is getting better. They have a stout defensive line and Todd Gurley is a star in the making.

All that and the built in group of die hard Rams fans in Saint Louis wasn't enough for that dick face Stan Kroenke. None of that was good enough because the team wasn't in LA. The letter that he wrote about the city of Saint Louis basically being a trash heap is wrong on so many levels. What kind of awful human being attacks an entire city full of big time Ram fans? I don't think he realizes how much this hurts the fans. He only cares about dollar signs and lining his already extremely fat pockets. I mean, Kroenke is filthy rich. How much money does one person truly need? And why was he so possessed to move them to LA? As I said before, Saint Louis was willing and able to build an entirely new, state of the art stadium. The blue prints were already drawn up. Kroenke seems like the Donald Trump of sports owners. He says whatever pops into his tiny, idiotic and mildly racist mind. Go read that letter he wrote, it's disgusting and very offensive (ed note: we will not link to the letter because it sucks). He is truly a garbage person in every sense of the word.

Why does LA need two more professional teams? The Chargers are probably going to move there too. They already have two pro baseball teams, two pro basketball teams and one pro hockey team. Now, they'll have two pro football teams. What kind of shit is that? Saint Louis, now, only has hockey and baseball. For a great sports town, we need more professional teams. I don't watch hockey and baseball games can be boring, but going to Rams games were fun. Now, we don't have that anymore. But hey, at least LA and Kroenke are bringing another two sub par franchises to add to their already crappy array of pro teams. The Angels and Dodgers have humongous payrolls and neither can get out of the divisional series or even in the playoffs. The Lakers are a joke of a once proud franchise that's letting 38 year old Kobe Bryant run them into the ground. The Clippers are world class chokers and they have a horrible collection of whiners and overrated players. The only good team they have is the Kings, but I don't watch hockey, so I know very little about them. Now, you get the 4-12 Chargers and the either 6-10 or 7-9 Rams. Congratulations, you guys get two more sub par to very mediocre pro teams to root for.

Screw Stan Kroenke and screw Roger Goodell for this decision. They are trying to destroy America's most popular sport and this move to LA, while it might look good on paper, will blow up in your stupid faces. At least this will make it easier for me to make my son a Packers fan, but it still hurts. Even for someone that's not a fan. I usually don't care for burning jerseys and other stuff, but in this case, I'm all for it. I'd also like to leave a flaming bag of dog shit on Stan Kroenke's front door. He's an asshole that deserves the worst in life.

Screw you.
