Better at Christmas Cards than Football

The Saint Louis Rams are now 2-12 and not a very good football team. Part of the team's reversal of fortunes this season from last year has been the numerous injuries on both offense and defense. The Rams are on their fifth set of corner backs and the offensive line is just as banged up with only one starter from the season opener still playing and he is out of position.

So, will the Rams win anymore this year? I doubt it. But, I didn't think they could ever beat the Saints back in October. But the Rams won that game easily.

Anyway with Christmas fast approaching the Rams have put together a nice video card that is much better in quality than this season. To view the video card just follow this link

Albert signs with the Halos

Reports this morning indicate Cardinal All-Star First Baseman Albert Pujols has signed a $250 million contract with the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles. Pujols has played with the Red Birds for the past eleven years and has been the team's, no the Major League's, best and most productive player over that period. He was also a huge part of the 2006 and 2011 World Series Champion St. Louis teams.

My initial reaction is I'm certainly sorry to see Pujols leave St. Louis. Not only is he a giant among all players all time who have played the game, but he is also a giant of a man with a heart for charity as large as his skills are on the field.

But, in reflection I have to say thank you Albert for all of the great times, big hits and memories of the last decade. It has been a wonderful ride, but all good things must come to an end. Albert, may God bless you and continued success and best wishes for you as you begin the next phase of your career with the Angels.
