Segment 2 - Jim Thomas 3.11.15

#WeenWednesday, think Tim likes saying "Ween Wednesday", wondering if Doug can just call Jeff Fisher to get the #scoop, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch joins the show, Rams management not happy with Bradford refusing to take pay cut, do not even think that Bradford had meeting with new QB coach Chris Weinke, the return the Rams got in the transaction, what the Rams can start doing with the available cash, may not matter in a few years when the Rams could not even be here, not many playmakers for Bradford in Philly, not sure what Chip Kelly is exactly doing yet only the second day of free agency, Bradford certainly has some skills plus some appeal to certain coaches, The Cat confused on why Kelly wanted Bradford so badly, statement from Rams featured quote from Stan Kroenke, first time he's "spoken" in a long time, doubtful that Kroenke said or wrote the comments himself, little over $27M in cap space, some of that will certainly go to the draft, options in free-agency, not so sure about Adrian Peterson being an option, any team that takes AP will have to take on PR backlash, Alpena has AP contract details, Alpena wants to know what everyone thinks about the Rams #10 pick, Brandon Scherff from Iowa has #BlueFeet, got sideways with Willie last Spring when he was pre-tweeting the draft picks, covering the draft at Rams park, wonderful BBQ spread, our official BBQ sponsor, "Michigan J. Frog", not that great covering the draft, upset when we have to put down the food to do some actual work, almost redundant to cover as much as media does especially in this Information Age, do love the angle of seeing prospect drop down the board while sitting at the draft on TV, the time The Cat snuck into the NBA Draft in the 80s, Doug snuck into the NCAA Tournament in 1978, used the excuse of being "NCAA security", Willie snuck into Game 7 of the 2011 World Series, Charlie also has story about sneaking into Game 7, The Cat surprised that Doug snuck into game, cannot get away with the schemes anymore in the modern world, some people get into games, Rudy was the master at getting into suites, two Irish guys sneaking into SB XLIX, sneaking into live taping of "Welcome Back Cotter", people in New York plus Los Angeles try to give tourists tickets to live tapings, best way to clap with smaller audience, The Cat's father did some game shows in his day, Charlie met Mack 'compie' Rhoades in Columbia yesterday, Charlie asked 'compie' the tough questions, more about compliance, story about NCAA enforcing dumb rule towards Rick Majerus when he was consoling Keith Van Horn, tough life for some collegiate athletes having to follow those pesky rules, Charlie believes that coaches like Nick Saban and Gary Pinkel earn every cent of their salaries, picking a school at 18-years-old, Charlie was okay with going to Bradley University & loving Plow Boy's new live read talking about the 'green'.
