First things first, Happy Thanksgiving and and a Happy start to the Christmas Season. Get out and shop early its going to be crazy. When you
are out shopping this year, pick up just one extra toy and donate it to the unfortunate. It will make life for a child brighter and it will make you feel great.

In terms of High School Football, the run is over but it was a good one for the McCluer North Stars Boys Football Team. Even though the team lost, the Stas had a great year losing just one game. We also wish all of the teams left in the State of Missouri the best of luck.

WAS THAT THE RAMS OUT THERE?
Now to Rams football, I wasn’t really sure what I was watching this past weekend. I didn’t know if maybe they were playing the 2A State Championship game in Carolina. This was unbelievable; The Rams had 28 yards at halftime. This is total yards.

I attended the Rams press conference Monday and for the first time Scott Linehan was very quiet and short with his answers. You could just see it in his face that he is about ready to hit the fan. The only sad thing though about the state of this game was that the Rams were still in it till the end.

Jim Haslett, Rams Defensive Coordinator, brought up some good points. The Rams gave up a bundle of yards but if you throw away seven plays out of that game, the yards would be manageabl. But the Panthers put up almost 150 yards on seven plays, 60 of those yards on three plays in one drive and the Rams ended up intercepting the ball, so those are wasted yards.

Overall, a few plays can either make you win or lose. This team with Seattle losing still has a chance. I’d love to see them turn it around. Scott Linehan is a great guy and deserves something good and the signing of Leonard Little really solidifies that defensive line for the future.
Warner’s Warm-Up Coat Drive

Don’t forget, the Warner’s Warm Up is here from Nov. 20t – Dec. 2. Even though Kurt is gone, his heart is still here for the needy of St. Louis, especially now with the cold starting to set in there is a huge need for coats. Things that we just take for granted, there are so many kids out there that have never smelled the smell of a new coat or felt the warmth of a coat with no holes in it.

Stop and think of others at this time of the year. There are drop off stations all over the St. Louis are, 200 of them. Check out www.kurtwarner.org for drop off locations. Remember though, only donate new or nearly new coats. It only takes one coat donation to change the life of someone you don’t know.

A big thank you to the Men’s Trivia Night at Sacred Heart Church in Florissant. I hosted their trivia Night this past weekend and it turned out great. It was the biggest crowd ever and we raised a lot of money for the sports programs for the kids. A big thanks also to Rams Cheerleaders Lacey and Erin who helped me host the evening. We had a lot of positive comments about the column and PrimeTime Sports, thanks for watching and reading the column. We will see you next year.
