The "Ram"

The St. Louis Rams have named themselves after the mountain mammal commonly associated with it's horns. Thus, the helmet looks as such:

But when you look deeper they are very aptly named. According to Wikipedia, the Big Horn Sheep, or "Ram" as they are commonly referred to, the following is true:

Bighorn sheep graze on grasses and browse shrubs, particularly in fall and winter, and seek minerals at natural salt licks. Bighorns are well adapted to climbing steep terrain where they seek cover from predators such as coyotes, golden eagles, and cougars. They live in large herds, but do not have the strict dominance hierarchy of the mouflon: that is, they do not automatically follow a single leader ram, unlike the Asiatic ancestors of the domestic sheep.

I would argue that this is exactly how the St. Louis Rams play. They tend to not play football but browse shrubs and use salt licks on the sidelines. Their running backs usually try to seek cover from such predators as the Minnesota Vikings. They also tend to not have any strict leadership... and their couch is often criticized for not following the strict domincance hierarchy of the mouflon.

Well played Rams... you've gone deep with your mascot.

In case you need to remember what their schedule was like. The B is for a bye week.

Some history of the shitty rams

I've done some research on Wikipedia... and here are some historical facts about the shitty Rams.

• They started out in Cleveland. You might recognize that city as home of the Shitty Browns. They have not had a good record...
• In 1946 the Rams moved to Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant was not on their team.
• They moved to St. Louis in 1995, successfully allowing me to name this blog what I have.
• Their colors are Millennium Blue, New Century Gold and White. Apparently they decided to name two of their three colors after the 2000 century. They also couldn't get Brown, as in the color of how shitty they are.
• In 1999 they defeated the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV. They then had a team meeting, changed their colors to new millenium colors, and decided to suck during the years their colors were named.

Wow. What a storied history.

If there was a wildcard match for worst team...

The Rams would still lose. They would get a bye week for the loser playoffs... that's how bad they have been. The St. Louis Rams have somehow managed to lose every single game that they've played save one... and I highly doubt that that game actually counts in the NFL's eyes since it was against the also shitty Lions.

To St. Louis, your football team sucks. This should come as biting commentary since the only football games I've ever been to have been for the Seattle Seahawks, and I stopped paying attention during the Holmgren years.

In this blog we examine the Rams. We see what makes them tick... we see what makes them lose... and we see what makes them the Shitty Rams. Not just a clever name.
