These days if you’re a member of the Rams organization nd you happen to be looking for some advice, probably the two best pearls of wisdom are as simple as to sleep sitting up, and don’t turn your back on anyone. Furthermore, don’t take anyone, no matter who they are seriously when it comes to their decisions on your role in the organization, cause chances are they don’t know dill-pucky.
What a difference a day makes in the super-fickle world of Rams Park, where you can be king one day and canned the next, and then back again by supper. I wonder if Marc Bulgers cone of silence will lift now that he’s coming back to the starting lineup after just a one week hiatus.
But you know what I wonder more? I wonder if being on the outside looking in did anything in the world to help Bulger see what side his bread is buttered on. I wonder if during his clipboard duty, he might have had a chance to reflect on what he needs to do to get hungry again like he was some five years ago when he couldn’t be stopped from bringing the Rams back from the 0-5 hole that Kurt Warner dug.
And now that Mr. Niceguy is back with his boys and his loving wife, I wonder if Jim Haslett is going to show up as a breath of fresh air, or a whiff of funky garlic. Will he bring his attitude and fire, coupled with his own extra years of humility and turn it into a seasoned professional’s inspired second chance at the big chair, or will he be nothing more than just another quivering yes man in the lingering front office disease who is simply either happy to still have a job, or indifferent because he knows this is an opportunity with no possible future other than the short term challenge of stunting Steven Jackon’s crusade to become the NFL’s newest spoiled rotten diva.
Who knows?
The only thing we know for sure is that we don’t know anything for sure, and it’s going to be a while before we do.
Go Rams!
