The Rams Did WHAT???

The NFL ward of dysfunctionality has quite a few patients.

Of course, the hospital is drenched in silver and black, with Al Davis the de facto Nurse Rachette. Then there are the Lions and Cardinals, who are close to being on the Raiders level, but have shown enough progress to being possibly ticketed for an exit.

Then there are the Dolphins and Bills, which while they are far from the most competently run franchises, seem victimized more by bad luck. And finally its a credit to Daniel Snyder that the Redskins make this list in spite of being a playoff team more often than not.

Well, after today's signing of Trent Green, I'm ready to place the St Louis Rams on the list. Georgia Frontiere, god rest her soul, was messed up. The front office had interior squabbles. Mike Martz was, well Mike Martz. And Scott Linehan somehow gets retained in spite of fighting with virtually every offensive skill position player. So the Rams were moving in the crazy team direction.

But signing Ol Man Trent to a 3-YEAR deal vaults them over the top. 3 YEARS!! And 9 million dollars, 3 mil of it guaranteed(including 900K if he makes the roster). Granted, Green is probably earning a pink slip after this year, but what the hell makes anyone think Trent Green can still play?? The fact that no doctor cleared him for months? The fact that a sneeze could produce concussion number 3? The fact that he's been a turnover machine in the limited time he's played over the last two years, thanks to his arm being shot? The fact that Brett Favre has donated some of his gray hair to Green?

Oh, and by the way, the Rams starter is Mark Bulger, who's missed chunks of two of the last three seasons. So, don't be buying the we only brought Trent in for leadership vows.

St Louis Rams, welcome to Suckville! You are one less team Mercury Morris has to worry about.
