Kyyle23 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 13, 2012 -> 02:53 PM) My Dad is a big fan of everything St. Louis, so I've been there a thousand times. Residents don't care about Chicago and don't compare St. Louis to anything. They know what they are and they love it. We go down there every 4th of July for a game, to gamble, and to have a good time... and St. Louis can definitely be a good time. That being said, I've also seen a Bears/Rams game in St. Louis, and it's the most bored I've ever been... and the Bears dominated 27-3. It felt like watching a football game in someone's basement. That dome is horrendous, and the area of the city it's in is even worse. In fact, someone was murdered at the Holiday Inn we stayed at for that game just last year. Great baseball city (and stadium), ok hockey city, bad football city. However, good for the Rams. The old man is stoked as he's a big Fischer fan. Hopefully they figure something out as things continue to get worse year in and year out... I lived in Carbondale for 8 years, and I have been to St Louis countless times as well, I respectfully disagree The Landing is badass. It sucks that Mississippi Nights closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know. When I'm down there, I tend to rock the Cardinals jersey shirt and the White Sox cap, and I'm always well-received. And yes, the Landing is awesome and the new casino they opened (Lumiere Place) are quite awesome. And of course, the tour. I've been on it twice... and ending with fresh, free Bud products is worth the 40 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 When I was at SIU, my roommate's dad was a distributor, so I went on a special version of the tour. Was quite interesting...but still not a huge fan of AB. That said, St Louis is ok...it has nothing on KC though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 13, 2012 -> 02:59 PM) The Rams had a huge problem coming into this season, as they were paying big time money to both Jake Long and Sam Bradford, from being top draft picks under the old CBA. The money those 2 were getting put the Rams right up against the Salary Cap last offseason. Normally you'd think that a young team tends to be well under the cap, but the old CBA/Draft salaries were so screwed up that the Rams were an incredibly expensive young team. They had no room to actually add anything of substance in free agency last year, and they probably couldn't even hold onto their own guys. Throw in an injury or two and an improved division, and you've got a recipe for disaster. This year the Rams ought to be in much better shape, they're another year down the path of both of those contracts and the salary cap should be going up. Plus, they have another top pick, but a top pick that won't break the bank. They ought to be in a position to actually add depth and useful pieces this year, even if they can't go all-in on someone like the Bears can/should. That ought to make them a whole lot more competitive next year. If thats the case then Id imagine the Lions would have to be in cap hell with Stafford, Calvin and Suh all being top 2 overall draft picks toward the end of the old CBA.

No, it was a lot of just living with and around St Louis area students living in Carbondale.

bmags Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 13, 2012 -> 09:04 PM) Yeah, I think most of my St. Louis bashing comes from the southern Illinois people I met in college who seemed to think the world revolved around the city. I actually had my bachelor party there (Hawks/Blues game) and hit up Mardi Gras a few times, good times were definitely had. This is where my hate comes from as well.

Brian Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Not against anyone on here, but I really hope SF loses. I have friends who were bandwagon fans in the 90s and they are really annoying this year. They've been saying they should be in the same sentence as NO and GB, not realizing they were in the worst division in the NFL. I have no sympathy for SF. They ruled the 90's so I don't have that warm feeling for them to succeed this year just because they have been down lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Jimmy Graham is back, which is huge for the Saints. I don't know if Pierre Thomas will play though, as Smokey said "You got knocked the f*** out!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
