<p>The Rams possible new general manager list is down to the final two or three &#8211; that at least according to Steve Wyche of NFL.com.</p>
<p>So far 9 men have come in to talk to the Rams about the job, and the club is still trying to figure out who will be the man to replace Billy Devaney, who was canned after the 2011 season ended.</p>
<p>Wyche says that the final candidates will meet with owner Stan Kroenke over the next few days.</p>
<p>Over the last few weeks, the Rams have have had interviews with New York Jets Vice President of College Scouting Joey Clinkscales, Minnesota Vikings Director of Player Personnel George Paton, San Francisco 49ers Director of Player Personnel Tom Gamble, Miami Dolphins Director of Player Personnel Brian Gaine, Arizona Cardinals Director of Player Personnel Steve Keim, Atlanta Falcons Director of Player Personnel Les Snead, former NFL executive and league office employee Ron Hill and Pittsburgh Steelers Director of Business Administration Omar Khan.</p>

<p>Another name has popped up for the Rams as far as candidates for the GM spot.</p>
<p>The team will speak to Steelers Director of Business Administration Omar Khan for the position on Thursday.</p>
<p>While Khan handles the salary cap and contract negotiations for the Steelers, he&#8217;s a well-respected personnel man who was a finalist for the Seattle Seahawks&#8217; general manager position in 2010. Khan has also been rumored to be the general manager as part of a package with former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher, who has opted to remain in broadcasting.</p>
<p>Minnesota Vikings Director of Player Personnel George Paton received a second interview with the Rams this week. San Francisco 49ers Director of Player Personnel Tom Gamble also interviewed for the position this week.</p>
<p>Last week, the Rams also interviewed Jets Vice President of College Scouting Joey Clinkscales on Monday and Miami Dolphins Director of Player Personnel Brian Gaine and Arizona Cardinals Director of Player Personnel Steve Keim on Tuesday. Atlanta Falcons Director of Player Personnel Les Snead and former NFL executive and league office employee Ron Hill were interviewed last week, as well. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Rams and the Convention and Visitors Commission are in the process of finalizing an agreement to the lease that would allow the team to play home games in London over the next three seasons according to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.</p>
<p>According to Rams executive vice president of football operations Kevin Demoff, tickets could go on sale this week.</p>
<p>&#8220;The agreement must be formally approved by the CVC and RSA, but we are optimistic there will be a successful resolution,&#8221; said Demoff, who was in Indy for Sunday&#8217;s Super Bowl game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants.</p>
<p>In essence, the CVC manages the dome; the RSA — Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority — owns the building.</p>
<p>The Rams are scheduled to play New England on Oct. 28 at Wembley Stadium. In an agreement announced late last month, the Rams are to play a regular-season home game in London in each of the next three seasons. But the CVC pointed out a week later that the lease terms prohibited the Rams from playing home games anywhere but the Edward Jones Dome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sales for the National Football League&#8217;s annual game at Wembley Stadium have been suspended.</p>
<p>The Rams are scheduled to &#8220;host&#8221; the New England Patriots on October 28th, 2012, but the Rams&#8217; lease at the Edward Jones Dome requires them to play all home games at that facility.</p>
<p>&#8220;The reason for the postponement is to allow the Rams and their stadium authority time to finalise (sic) the technical amendments to the lease required under the terms of the Rams&#8217; commitment to London,&#8221; a statement read on the NFL UK website.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Rams have expressed optimism that a resolution is near, and we will provide updates as information becomes available.&#8221;</p>
<p>NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reiterated the league&#8217;s commitment towards playing a game in London in 2012 during his State of the NFL press conference on Friday morning.</p>
<p>&#8220;We’re going to play the London games. We hope it will be with the Rams and the New England Patriots next year. That’s what we planned,&#8221; Goodell said. &#8220;,but there are issues that obviously are going to have to get resolved. We know there are discussions going on. We hope they will get resolved shortly.&#8221; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The season was such a disappointment that I simply haven’t had much to talk about.  But it’s been a few weeks now and I’m ready to address a few issues.  The first 1 has nothing to do with the Rams, but its happening this weekend and inquiring minds want to know.</p>
<p>1 Who is going to win the Super Bowl?  What does Tom Brady have in common with Kobe Bryant?  They are both stone cold killers.  You never see Brady chatting it up on the side lines unless they’re up by about 40.  I don’t think it is possible that Mr. Brady is going to let an underdog NY Giants beat him in 2 Super Bowls.  The experience of Belichick, Brady, and the 19 returning players from the 2007 Patriot SB debacle will turn out to be too much for the Giants.</p>
<p>2 Do we want the Rams playing in London over the next few years?  On first pass I could really care less.  If the Rams are going to continue to play at the same disappointing level as the last five years… then go ahead!  It is just one more embarrassing Sunday matchup I won’t have to endure.  Of course there is the issue of keeping jobs here in the USA.  We don’t want the Edward Jones Dome folks out of a day’s pay.  Really, we don’t.  The bigger picture here could be the NFL wanting a larger fan base in London to support the ‘eventual’ NFL Europe product.  My take on this is “forget it!”  Europe is not going to fall in love with American football any more than we are going to fall in love with soccer.  Sure we kind of like soccer and it’s very popular to discuss the World Cup when it rolls around, but it’s just not a part of our culture.  And this goes for American football in Europe.  My vote is for the Dome and for keeping all of the games here in the states.</p>
<p>3 What is the future of Sam Bradford?  No one wants to say it, but he could be a bust.  I don’t totally blame him.  How many 350 pound linemen jumping on your face does it take for a college kid to become gun shy?  Whatever the number is I think it’s already happened.  I have seen the fear in Bradford’s eyes.  Now if we could do something about our offensive line quickly and help erase the scars of the past, then Sam might have a chance.  But when have the Rams ever done anything quickly and done it well?  (Answer is… they haven’t.)</p>
<p>4 Farewell Steve Spagnuolo.  No question here just farewell.  I will miss both saying and spelling your name.   I’m glad to have Fisher and hope the Rams will set him up for success (unlike his predecessor).  Spagnuolo, a defensive guy, was paired with a 1<sup>st</sup> year offensive coordinator.  Together they knew less about running an offensive than my baby sister.  What seasoned front office guy came up with that dynamic duo?</p>
<p>5 Finally, will Kroenke be a good football owner?  Currently the answer is no since he has been a minority owner of the Rams for some time.  During a juncture when I would hope a great deal of his time would be spent shoring up the Rams, he has been out and about trying to buy the Dodgers.  The man wants to be a sports mogul.  I get it, but what I want is nothing short of another ‘the greatest show on turf’.  (I love you Kurt Warner.)</p>
<p>That’s all I’ve got .  Enjoy the Super Bowl and drive safe!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The plan to improve the Edward Jones Dome and ensure that the Rams stay in St. Louis is due to the team on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The St. Louis Convention &#038; Visitors Commission has been working to put together the proposal. The agreement with the Rams calls for the dome to be among the top 25 percent of all stadiums. If not, the Rams could break the lease after the 2014 season.</p>
<p>Owner Stan Kroenke has been non-committal about the future of the franchise, creating worry that St. Louis could lose an NFL team for a second time. The Cardinals left for Arizona after the 1987 season.</p>
<p>It isn&#8217;t clear when details of the CVC proposal will be made public. The CVC and the Rams did not respond to messages seeking comment.</p>
