THE BEST GAME I NEVER SAW

Besides my family and friends in Mt. Vernon and St. Louis, I also miss the Cardinals and Rams. I especially miss the Rams games because there are so few televised. And I missed a doozy yesterday.

I also miss the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Weatherbird plus the Register-News. Randy Olson's website is a life saver for me since Big Hall left the RN. There is now no computer site with mary kay oy mary kate or whoever's running the rag now, so I really don't know her name since I can't get no newspaper action.

But I digress. What a game it must have been! I knew Martz liked Fitzpatrick, but he also like some guy named Levi from ASU that hardcore Sun Devil fans knew was a bust. And he was, along with a litany of other suspects. But Fitzgerald from nearby Glendale, AZ via Harvard may just be the real deal.

Three td passes, 310 yards, 10 points in 22-seconds or so. Only one intercept thrown with 5 sacks. Heckuva line you got there Vitty with Big O hurt and Terrell trashing his helmet against the radio used by the qb to get the plays. Man, Fitz is good! Rexy on one end of the line, Barron in Pace's slot, a street agent signed 10-days ago, Larry Turner taking over for Terrell. Are you serious? Holt said he'd never even huddled with the Fitz in practice.

This is the stuff of fiction. A skinny Bertie comes through (see earlier blog on fantasies.) And the kid from Harvard pulls it off. Sidebar: Mr. Samford, a Juco teacher of mine at Rend Lake called in Harward, so my notes were filled with a Harward graduate. After about 6 weeks of lectures, I figured out it was Harvard, not Harward. Anyway(s), thanks to Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Rams are still interesting.

Quarterback controversy. Not between Martin and Fitzpatrick. I mean Bulger and Fitzpatrick Bring it on!
