3) The Sunday NFL game of the week
Seattle at St. Louis 1pm
Murphy has been touting the Rams so far this year, yes while Met and Yankee fans were still watching baseball the Red Sox nation had to turn to the NFL. I have heard from Brian over and over about his 4-1 Rams. So this week let's keep an eye on the Rams. So far this season the Rams have beaten the 0-5 Lions, the 1-4 Packers and the 1-4 Cardinals. If the Rams had to play Queensbury, Saratoga and Colonie High schools they would be 0-3. They lost to the 2-3 49ers. Let's not be too hard on Mr. Murphy, being a Sox fan gets you trained to root hard in the beginning of the season when things are going good, I guess it's the same with the Rams.




I will give you this Brian, they are some cheerleaders.
