ST. LOUIS (AP)—Green Bay Packers fans are known as cheeseheads. Could fans of the St. Louis Rams soon be dittoheads?

Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday he is teaming up with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts in a bid to buy the Rams, owners of the NFL’s longest losing streak at 14 and just 5-31 since 2007.

In a statement, Limbaugh declined to discuss details, citing a confidentiality agreement with Goldman Sachs, the investment firm hired by the family of former Rams owner Georgia Frontiere to review assets of her estate, including the NFL team.

Limbaugh also declined to discuss other partners that might be involved in the bid, but said he and Checketts would operate the team.

“I have a soft spot for the Rams as one of the few teams that manage to make my beloved Chiefs look good.”

AMEN to that. At least KC has scored in every game so far and seems to be playing a little better every week.
As for the Rams, I lost interest in the franchise after they booted out Kurt Warner. Warner is making that decision look pretty stupid nowadays.

I wish he’d buy the Lions and get them out of the hands of William Ford........

or the Cincinnati Bungals....& that S.*.B. owner.

A FReep search proved fruitless for what I'm about to mention, but even with the Blues' owner involved, what are the chances of a Checketts/Limbaugh Rams moving west - back to Los Angeles, even though I have read where Chip Rosenbloom entertained prospective buyers only on the condition that the team remain in the Mound City?

Posters on www.la-rams.com still dream of that after 15 years? Doesn't the Jones Dome have an escape clause for the Rams?
