Rams report, 5/3: recognition for Rams

* In the NFL Network's countdown of the top 100 players in the league, voted on by the players, Cortland Finnegan came in at #93 last week, and Chris Long was ranked #84 this week. Neither player was in last year's top 100. Steven Jackson's the only other Ram likely to be rated; he was 38th last year. I'd like to see him get at least into the top 30.

Long's ranking is validation that he should have been in this past Pro Bowl. Unfortunately for Chris, the past one may also be the last one; the NFL is considering getting rid of the game.

* The Rams have won a "Silver World Medal" from the New York Festivals International TV & Film Awards for some of their video work. StLouisRams.com They appear to be the only sports franchise to win any kind of award there, so that's cool.

The winning video was used during pregame intros... here it is on YouTube.
