Rammer is off today and on his way to Dayton.

2:02p -- Take Three: Randy talks about AJ Feeley.  He feels that Feeley is keeping the seat warm for Sam Bradford.  He says it means a couple things, Bulger will not be back and the new Rams quarterback will be a rookie, by game 5.  D'Marco adds that Bulger will probably not take another snap in St. Louis.  He also says that Adam Schefter is a genius in predicting the Rams would go for Bradford.  On paper, the deal for Feeley looks bad, but the Rams front office must feel that Feeley helps the team.  Randy says AJ Feeley is not here to win games, but to mentor the next QB.

2:15p -- Mike Bellotti, former Oregon Duck football coach and now Athletic Director with Oregon joined the show.  He talked about AJ Feeley when he was at Oregon.  He said AJ is a great player, loves the game and makes those around him better.  AJ was beat out by Joey Harrington for the starting role in his senior year and even though he didn't like it, he stuck it out and remained to be a team guy.  To hear the rest of the interview click below:

2:30p -- So far in free agency Randy feels the Bears are the winners picking up Chester Taylor, Julius Peppers and the tight end Manu Manuamalamanaalanmamalanamala?  D'Marco said the Lions have done some good things.  Randy says the Lions made a mistake in picking up Nate Burleson because he sucks.  The biggest reason it has proven he sucks according to Randy?  Because Scott Linehan liked him.  One of the biggest losers so far in free agency is the Carolina Panthers according to Randy.  They lost their quarterback, defensive star and their coach said today this is final year with the team.

2:45p -- Former New York Giants linebacker Danny Clark joined the show.  Danny said that Spags has been in touch with him and he would love to come to St. Louis.  He also talked about facing Steven Jackson.  Click below to hear the entire interview:

3:02p -- Take it or Leave it.  Randy - Jake Delhomme says he was blindsided on his release by the Panthers, take it or leave it, Delhomme will start again for a playoff team?  D'Marco leaves it.  Randy - The signing of AJ Feeley means the Rams will not trade for Michael Vick, D'Marco leaves it, Randy takes it.  D'Marco - Feeley starts 6 or more games for the Rams, Randy leaves it, D'Marco takes it until he sees Bradford throw.

3:15p -- The guys talk about the Blues.  D'Marco says their streak confirms that you have treat athletes like kids.  Threaten them and they perform.  Randy says he thinks Paul Kariya hips are finally fine. 

3:30p -- Should a free agent go for the most money he can make, or go for a win?  Randy says go for the win.  D'Marco says both, try to do both, but there is an emphasis on one or the other.  If you have already won a Super Bowl, go for the money.

3:45p -- Bob Ramsey joined the show from the road.  He talked about the big opportunity in front of the Billikens.  He gave his opinion on the Rams picking up AJ Feeley and says that this confirms that the Rams will be going for a QB.  The first thing that came to his mind when he heard that Feeley was coming was "Sam Bradford."

4:02p -- Hot Topic of the Day!  Free agency.  Bears making some big moves.  The guys also report that the Eagles have released Will Witherspoon.  The other news of the day is Ben Roethlisberger being accused of sexual assault......again.

4:15p -- Time for a brand new feature, "D'Marco's Dumbbell of the Week".  A weekly features where D'Marco calls out a few dummies from the week.

4:30p -- Rams insider from the Post Dispatch and 101ESPN Jim Thomas joined the show.  Feeley was on J.T.'s radar last year, but certainly not this year.  He says 3 million dollars a year isn't exactly 'holding clipboard' money.  He could be a number 2.  Jim said AJ is the Philadelphia version of Jamie Martin.  Thomas also reported that Oshimogho Atogwe has received a few phone calls, but nothing too serious yet.  He doesn't think it's a good idea for the Rams to keep Atogwe dangling out there.  He also said another defensive back might be coming to the Rams, so stay tuned.

4:45p -- Tony Pauline of si.com joined the show.  He says it would be a massive mistake to pass up on Suh.  He says if they take Bradford and he's a bust, you set the franchise back 4 or 5 years.  To hear the entire interview, click below:

5:00p -- I'm just saying.

5:15p -- Our Cardinals insider from the Post Dispatch and 101ESPN Derrick Goold joined the show.  Goold said Brad Penny was not as positive as he wanted to be, but that was expected because he was doing a lot of experimenting.  Derrick also said that Albert Pujols is taking more swings this spring than he has in a long time and feels very healthy.

5:30p -- The guys talk free agency and talk about the deals the Ravens made to get Anquan Boldin and Donte Stallworth.  They also talk about Marc Bulger.  Randy says he should go to San Diego. 

5:45p -- Parting Shots.
