Not usually our topic here, but it is interesting that tonight's Rams game against the Colts won't be seen on television because not enough tickets were sold in time. Labels: Sports
NFL rules state that if a game isn't sold out 72 hours before kickoff, the game will be "blacked out." The Rams were even given an extra two days to sell the rest of the tickets, but with no success.

Isn't St. Louis a sports town? Or, is it just a redbirds town that happens to also bleed blue? Is there room in St. Louis to bring back a basketball team, or introduce a soccer team or tennis team?

Uh, this was a preseason football game, among the most meaningless contests in all sports. I sure wouldn't want to spend like $50 or whatever to watch the second-stringers play 90% of the game. No surprise it didn't sell out.
There's a lot of talk about a Major League Soccer team coming to St. Louis in 2008 or thereabouts. We'll see.
