* Sunday's game will be aired on local TV, KMOV advertising last night that they and A-B bought up leftover tickets to qualify the game as a sellout. Noon Sunday on channel 4 (CBS, NOT Fox-2, this is an AFC road game.)
* Injury update. The only players who didn't practice at all yesterday were Chris Chamberlain (toe) and David Vobora (hamstring). That's more than a little interesting if it's perfectly accurate. That would mean Cliff Ryan is finally playing again, DorellDarell Scott is getting close, and Jacob Bell doesn't have any lingering concussion symptoms from Sunday. Good news all around. Also, Steven Jackson has declared he's 100% and is no longer wearing that weird fetish gear he had on the last couple of weeks to protect his groin injury. (Actually, he didn't wear it last week against Detroit.) Steven Jackson with full range of motion is a good thing. He is 141 yards away from the team career rushing record.
* Nate Burleson was fined $15,000 for being a jackass after his TD in the second half of last Sunday's game. After an exaggerated strut for the last 10 yards into the end zone, he punted the ball into the crowd and raised his jersey to show some stupid message on his t-shirt. Burleson commented the NFL "was kind of rough on me. They got me."
Yeah, you want to know how to avoid that? Act like you've been there before.
Jackass.
* Several Post-Dispatch contributors were asked who on the Rams needed to step their game up the most this week. None of them mentioned the defensive line, (ok, Brian Burwell sorta did) which wasn't even in the same area code as Shaun Freaking Hill most of the game. If Chris Long plays to his level of the first four weeks, I like the Rams' chances to at least stay close.
