Sam Bradford was my favorite QB through college, and I felt he was much better than the others of his class. Since he was drafted to the Rams I have begun to follow them. I think they will start building and become a pretty strong team as long as they can get a line to keep Bradford healthy. Are the Rams getting any bigger of a fanbase with Bradford or do most people cheer for the Chiefs?

Statewide there are more Chiefs fans simply because it's a more storied Missouri franchise. As a St. Louisan living in Kansas City I happily root for both -- if they meet in the Super Bowl I can deal with my loyalties then.

That said, the Bradford years haven't exactly been as promised yet, and his whining about having never been on a losing team before didn't really endear him to Rams fans. I'm hopeful for the 2012 season and believe Sam to be a very talented kid, so we'll see!

Rams fan here, I was lucky enough to be at both NFC Championship games back in the GSOT days and have stuck with them ever since.

I follow the Chiefs as my second team. I still have a Joe Montana T shirt from when they signed him.

Go Missouri!

The St. Louis area cheers for the Rams. They've been bad so the fan support is down. I would say Bradford is still popular. He had a good rookie year but struggled more last year - but the team was horrible.

I think the excitement level will pick up some with a new coach. But they need to start winning games.

Yeah that's kind of to be expected. I've been a lifelong Lions fan and I understand after a while you start just getting mad at players who look like they aren't trying or terrible decisions from up top.

I could definitely be a Blues and Rams fan along with Lions and Red Wings

I didn't even care much about them when we both "lived" in California. But then, a bunch of overgrown guys getting paid way too much money to play a childrens game was never high on my list anyway.

Hopefully that love will come back given all the good players the Rams just picked up...that said, the owner clearly wants to move the team out of St. Louis. But I am just not somebody that can actively follow a team that isn't doing well....I've recently begun to follow the Blues again because they haven't had a team like this since before the lockout.
