Todd Gurley was the top-rated player on the St. Louis draft board.

Last Tuesday, NFL Network keystones Rich Eisen, Steve Mariucci, Kurt Warner, Michael Irvin, Melissa Stark and Marshall Faulk were invited to be part of the first-pitch ceremony and “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” song during the seventh-inning stretch of Pirates-Cubs. All were happy to be involved… except Faulk, a St. Louisan. He refused to go. He refused to put on a Cubs cap, or Cubs jersey, or to be part of any Cubs-celebratory thing. It’s all about the Cards for Faulk. He couldn’t bring himself to wear any Cub stuff.

Faulk isn't a fan of losing, I gather.

Exactly. And Peter King isn't a fan of the Rams either. Honestly, Peter, that's all you could come up with in a 5-page article?

Oh yeah, Faulk gets it! A little disappointed in Warner, tho.

Gotta love the Cards, best record in the bigs.

New favourite player...oh who am I kidding, he's always been my favourite player, first jersey I owned, and the reason I became a fan of the Rams, he's just gone up that extra notch.

That's what I'm talking about, Marshall!

I thought Faulk was all about New Orleans, that's awesome though, love that type of loyalty.

Absolutely.
One thing I'll give Collin Kaepernick, is that he's a huge Miami Dolphins fan.

 

[Athos]

Didn't think it was possible to like Faulk more!

 

[ljramsfan]

That's what I'm talking about, Marshall!

His arrogance paid off for once.

 

[LetsGoRams]

Atta boy, Marshall!

I loathe this kind of media slight that St. Louis CONSTANTLY receives from the national press:

Peter King excerpt: "I’m within a six-hour drive of teams in Washington, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, the Giants, Jets and New England. But if you’re in Chicago, you’re within six hours of Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Green Bay and Minneapolis (pushing it; that’s maybe six-and-a-half). Add a little, and you can make the drive from Buffalo or Kansas City in less than eight hours. And I saw jerseys of all colors in Chicago."

Last time I drove it, St. Louis to Chicago can be done in 4 hours if you stretch the speed limit up I-57 or I-55 through the rural areas.
Fuck you Peter King. I know that shit is intentional and it pisses me off...

Peter King of The MMQB talks all about the NFL Draft with Rich Eisen. He talks about the Rams having Todd Gurley #1 on their board. The Bucs had Gurley #5 on their board. With many teams having Gurley rated that highly, he has Adrian Peterson type value. He also talks about the intrigue at the top of the draft and how a trade never really came close to happening.

Watch King Talk NFL Draft

I'd seen Kurt tweeting about the Cubs game and throwing out the first pitch. It was funny, he thought he'd pull a Brady and throw the ball into the stands.
Hadn't heard about Marshall. That's awesome.
