A modest proposal for the Dome authorities

I get madder the more I think about it. It doesn't seem enough for the football world to take St. Louis' team away from it for the SECOND time, it also wants to shit on our legacy as a football town. That came in the form Saturday night of NO member of the Greatest Show on Earth making it into the Hall of Fame on the first try.

So now, if S.E. Kroenke does make good on his unvoiced threats and moves the team out of town in 2016? St. Louis NEVER gets to celebrate any of these football heroes making the Hall of Fame in the form of putting them in the Dome's Ring of Honor. It isn't enough to wreck the Rams' 2015 season for the fans with the moving-the-team crap, we don't get even get to celebrate and honor our past on the way out. It's like one big fat conspiracy to make sure St. Louis can show no life or fight as a football town.

Well, I say, screw that. I don't know how much the signage costs, but if this is it, the Dome folks need to come out firing. There are plenty of home dates to have Ring of Honor ceremonies for Kurt Warner, Orlando Pace, Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt, and they should happen this year. St. Louis fans deserve the opportunity to celebrate these men's achievements one last time, since the idiots who vote to put players in Canton won't do it for us in a timely fashion. Hell, there's ten home games, right? Why not put in Mike Jones, Adam Timmerman, Steven Jackson and Aeneas Williams (already in the Hall of Fame, of course), too?

It's going to take stuff like that to get more than 500 fans in the seats week-to-week this season, and St. Louis fans deserve the opportunity to give the greats a final sendoff. Somebody make this happen.
