Oh, this is going to be AWESOME!

So, what is the petition going to ask for... what's the 'call to action' that signers are demanding? I say:

1) at a minimum - a public apology by the NFL to the Rams & their fans, for failing to notify them of pending serious action against Williams BEFORE the Rams hired Williams;

2) our preference - compensation to the Rams for losing their DC indefinitely at no fault of the Rams. Perhaps a compensatory draft pick is in order here. We're the injured party here, dammit, and we demand justice :)

I didn't list any specific compensation in the first draft, other than an apology. I believe a public apology from Goodell would be an astounding coup.

Yes, that would be extraordinary.
There's not a snowball's chance in hell that the league office grants the Rams an additional draft pick.

Allllllllllllllllllllllllrighty then.

phpPETITION/index.php

I'll start a new thread as an announcement (or maybe RQ will [hint hint]) when I'm not falling over from lack of sleep.
EDIT: There's also a social sharing app in the margin (Facebook, Twitter, Email) if you wanna spread the word.

Nice job on the petition letter Quixote. I signed it.

Hopefully this gets spread around enough to gather a large number of sigs.



I see Asshole Face is appealing his suspension at the last minute so as to buy himself more time to work with the saints. Clearly a move designed to fuck with authority. Commandant Goodell should add another game or 2 to the total for that POS... if his suspension is reduced in any way, ALL other coaches who have been suspended should also receive the same reduction.

If the Commandant should actually reduce Payton's suspension,,, I will be forced to write his his Ass-Holyness a letter of my own. Rest assured, it will not be written in the same tone as Quixote's.

And why wouldn't he pay attention to a petition written by a poster with the username of Quixote? There's gotta be some carte blanche for admittedly tilting at authority.

Sorry, X. I crapped out long before you did last night. Just woke up, too.

Ha, luv it!

Next move is to get a phone interview with someone in the STL sports radio scene.

And perhaps get a former Ram player(s) to megaphone this petition to other player-alumni.

Or. One of you local boys can call into 101ESPN. I know LJ likes to do that.

Please RT if you believe that Roger Goodell owes the #Rams an apology over the #Bountygate issue. http://shar.es/pRWYs

Thanks, will use same hashtags.

By the way, here's the Bit.ly shortened URL for the petitiion: http://bit.ly/H58vTj (copy & paste into your social media referrals). Then, when you visit https://bitly.com/H58vTj+, you can see how many have clicked on that link, and where they are from.... it's a way of tracking.

FYI... here's what I'm sending out: "Roger Goodell owes #Rams an Apology! Sign petition. Please spread. bit.ly/H58vTj #Bountygate"

I posted it on the Rams Facebook Page. There's about a quarter million "friends" of that page. Wouldn't hurt if others with a FB account did the same. I'm going to text the Mike & Mike show Monday morning too. Several times.

We are quite certain in our belief of the above, since 50,000 page reports are not conjured in less than a month.

Tell that to congress. They will laugh you out of the room. :lmao:

Also, I signed up for that petition. The last petition I signed up for started spamming me with liberal political action nonsense. I hope the ROD petition won't do this. :D

Petition number 20!

Yeah, me too. I'm really sorry for that. This time, instead of hosting it on an external site, I made the petition in php and am hosting it on our server. Your email is kept confidential and I won't be using it for anything. You're 100% safe from spam with this one.

Signed. I'm going to St. Louis in two weeks, I'll ask to see if we can maybe make a detour to Rams Park and throw a few of them around, maybe it'll get someone in the media to notice it.
