Sources: Limbaugh Out of Rams Bidding
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsTwo NFL sources said Wednesday afternoon that the Dave Checketts-led group bidding to buy the St. Louis Rams has dropped controversial radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh from its group of bidders. One of the sources said Checketts is concerned that his bid is weak to begin with, and that the presence of Limbaugh in the group would effectively kill any chance he had.Limbaugh's emergence as a possible part-owner of an NFL franchise has caused a major controversy in recent days. Several NFL players, with the support of DeMaurice Smith and the NFL players' union, have spoken out in opposition to ...
Rush Limbaugh, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the Rams: Should the NFL be Renamed the 'National Liberal League'?
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyConservatives suggested this week, not unreasonably, that if one of their own is ever to be awarded a peace prize, an organization other than the Nobel committee is going to have to hand it out. Considering the onslaught against Rush Limbaugh over his effort to purchase the St. Louis Rams, a related question arises: Will conservatives soon need their own professional sports leagues, too?Millions of Americans tune into football games each autumn weekend precisely so they can block out the humdrum of everyday life, including the pettiness of party politics and even the pressing national problems ...

Around the Minicamps: Fins to the Left, Land Sharks to the Right
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsThe goofy NFL news of the day Saturday was the renaming of the home of the Miami Dolphins after Jimmy Buffett's beer company. "Land Shark Stadium" will be the fifth different name this building has had since it opened in 1987.The stadium has an interesting history. Its $115 million construction cost was completely privately funded (imagine that!) with the help of season ticket holders who made long-term commitments in exchange for the promise of a state-of-the-art football facility. Joe Robbie, the owner of the Dolphins at the time, envisioned it as a stadium that could host baseball as well ...

Jason Brown Picks the Rams
By Chris Burke - AOL NewsComing off a stellar 2008 season, Baltimore's Jason Brown wanted to be paid as if he was a top NFL center. The Ravens balked at that idea; St. Louis did not. So even though there were rumblings that Brown did not really want to be a Ram, he couldn't turn down a whopping five-year, $37.5 million contract when St. Louis put it on the table.According to ESPN's John Clayton, Baltimore topped out its offer to Brown at about $6 million a year -- a number that St. Louis flew past. Of Brown's new contract, $20 million will be guaranteed.Let's be honest: St. Louis needed this, even if it did come at a ...
Don't Fret About Steven Jackson
By Sean Lalley - AOL NewsAs the St. Louis Rams and Steven Jackson continue to be at stalemate, your Fantasy Football draft is fast approaching. You've noticed Jackson slipping from his lofty 3rd or 4th perch downwards to the 6th or 7th slot. You've got to make a brash decision on whether you can pass up the beast that is Steven Jackson. You must contemplate if he's worth passing up for the likes of Joseph Addai, Randy Moss, maybe Tom Brady, Clinton Portis or maybe even Marsahwn Lynch. My short answer and plea is DON'T DO IT!!! Sure, we all know about the contract situation that hangs over Jackson. In total thus far, ...
Marshall Faulk to Officially Announce Retirement Monday
By mjd - AOL NewsCiting a desire to spend as much time as possible with Rich Eisen, Marshall Faulk will officially bring his career to a close on Monday. It's been unofficially over for a while now, with Marshall and some fans still holding out a slight bit of hope for a comeback. Monday, all that hope fades away, and Marshall Faulk takes the next step towards the Hall of Fame. Just to recap: 9th all time of the NFL rushing list, 7 Pro Bowls, an MVP award, and the NFL record for yards from scrimmage in a season, in addition to being 8th all-time in receptions. He also might be the most significant player of ...
Are the Lions Becoming St. Louis North?
By Steve Butts - AOL NewsAs the season progresses, the Lions triage unit keeps adding new members. The Lions have placed 14 players upon the injured reserve, and have another player in Ross Verba who they would like to add to that list but are unable to. With each successive injury, the Lions seem to find another former Ram to add to their roster in the place of the player who is no longer available. This makes me question the input that Offensive Coordinator Mike Martz has on the personnel selection process. Obviously, with Mike Martz's complex offense and unique terminology, previous experience within the offense ...
Chiefs vs. Rams: Offensive Preview
By Phil Yoon - AOL NewsThe most important question going into today's game-- how in the world is the Packers-Bills game in HD, and the Chiefs-Rams not? The Chiefs and Rams are both in good positions for playoff spots, and this game also has a chance of being a classic shootout. As most NFL fans know by now, the Chiefs have been on a roll offensively in the last couple of weeks. After shredding a strong Chargers' defense, the Chiefs continued their offensive streak against a suspect Seahawks defense. Now, the Chiefs face another NFC West defense searching for its identity. Which St. Louis defense will show up, the ...
