HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 10).
Your ability to focus is awesome this year. Your artistic talent is top. Build a niche for yourself in a service you love. New problems just mean you're making new ground.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 5. If you'll just concentrate a while longer, you can stash some more coins in the bank. Cut down on the toys and meaningless fluff. When you're old, you'll have yourself to thank.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. Let someone else stand up for you for a change. Hide out and watch while your champion fights the battle for you. Provide encouragement.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. You're starting to get to the hard part. Hopefully it's also sort of fun. Curtail excursions for a couple of days and finish a big project.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8. Financial difficulties could be putting pressure on your relationship. If that's happening, figure out a way to make things more secure. That's what your loved one is really worried about.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5.
Looks like you have a few choices to make. You can't have everything you want, but compromise may look more like defeat. Listen, adapt and, if all else fails, stall.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8. Actions definitely speak louder than words. Practice gets you to perfection. Do what you love and the money will follow.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 6.
Your natural optimism is always welcome, now more than ever. Money is tight, and the problems may seem insurmountable. You'll find a way around 'em. Don't give up.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8.
Use what you've recently learned to plan your next move. You can effectively block something you don't want to happen.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is an 8. Friends give you the faith to carry on when it seems you won't be able to do what you want. They think you'll find a way because you always do.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 5. Somebody may have the nerve to issue you an ultimatum. Before you have a fit, think it over carefully. A major shift is predicted for Thursday or Friday.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Things won't go quite as smoothly as
planned because of unforeseen delays.
Some of those are caused by your own
reservations. A new tool or machine
could malfunction, too. Don't hurry.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8. Faraway places beckon, but conditions for travel now stink. Long delays interfere with getting the job done. Use the phone or e-mail instead.
The coach of the team favored to make the Super Bowl for the third time in four years didn't appear worried that the Rams, who averaged 31 points last year, have totaled 33 in their last two games, including their Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots last February.
Martz defends decisions
ST. LOUIS — Mike Martz was muted yet defiant a day after questionable decision-making contributed to the St. Louis Rams' opening loss at Denver.
The Associated Press
"We played one game," Martz said yesterday. "I guess it's over for us. Shoot."
Instead, Kurt Warner's pass to fullback Chris Hetherington, not exactly among the team's cavalcade of weapons, was incomplete and the Rams never challenged again.
Speaking softly, he refused to second-guess himself about the Rams' failed 4th-and-2 play from the Denver 10 late in the third quarter when a field goal would have tied the score.
Martz said the Rums had been waiting for that situation all day and emphasized that it was not an emotional decision.
"That's not something that 'Oh boy, gee, I think I'll go for it.'" Martz said. "I just felt like it was right, I didn't but an eye. We're just not going to be afraid to do those things. I trust they'll work out."
"When you call a play like that, you can think about all the things that can go wrong, or you can trust that it's going to work." Martz said. "When you stop trusting that those things will work, then you
If they don't, Martz is not going to let it change his aggressive philosophy.
Martz wouldn't revisit a reverse on the opening kickoff, another play that blew up in his face, either. The exchange from rookie Lamar Gordon to Dexter McCleon wasn't clean and McCleon had to recover the fumble, making for a shaky start to the game.
start being more and more conservative, and we're not going to do that."
"If we don't mishandle the exchange, that's got a chance to be a pretty good one," Martz said.
Gordon also fumbled a kickoff away in the second quarter, although he didn't appear to have been hit particularly hard. He'll be replaced by Terrence Wilkins on kickoffs Sunday against the New York Giants.
"I'd like to see Terrence in there a little bit more." Martz said. "When that ball came out, it was not one of those things where somebody pulled the ball out, and I'm concerned about that."
Martz also wants to use Wilkins as the third wide receiver.
He was not used in the offense in the opener because he missed the last two preseason games with injured ribs.
The Rams' clock management, a persistent problem under Martz, also drew heavy criticism. They took their time moving downfield for a field goal by Jeff Wilkins with 2:12 to go and quarterback Kurt Warner called the last timeout with 3:10 to play, leaving the team helpless at the finish.
"We had so much in for this initial game plan and he'd missed so much time, it was too hard for him to get caught up in a lot of this stuff," Martz said. "We're going to really concentrate on putting him at one position for a while and get him back in the flow of things."

Kirk Hinrich's middle name is James, and Missouri sucks.

This goes out to the Missouri hater who keeps calling into the Sports Free for All. Missouri crushed, uh, Illinois. KU got crushed by Iowa State. Thank you.

I thought slanderous statements couldn't be admitted into the Free for All. What about all these guys making all these negative comments about Missouri?
