Contract could spell Warner's end
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Marc Bulger's new four-year contract with the St. Louis Rams may be yet another signal that two-time NFL MVP Kurt Warner—the guy who guided the Rams to two Super Bowls — soon may be forced to work elsewhere.
The Rams did not disclose terms of the deal announced Tuesday with Bulger, who coach Mike Martz has said would enter the preseason as the team's starting quarterback. And the statement made no mention of the status of Warner, who apparently expects to be released by the Rams after June 1.
"This is good for Marc, but is also good for the organization," Martz said in the statement, days after saying when it came to Warner, "at this point, our focus (is) to get something done with Marc and we'll take the next step from there."
"Obviously, I'm excited to finally get it done," he told the St.
Bulger said, "It's nice to have the deal behind me."
since in 1960. While suggesting there's still a chance Warner could stay with the team next season, Martz said last month that discussions on a long-term deal with Bulger could impact what happened, with reaching a deal increasing the likelihood of Warner leaving the team.
Barring something dramatic, Warner's agent said later Tuesday that Bulger's new contract made his client's departure from St. Louis a virtual certainty.
"We knew this was coming. This is not a surprise," Mark Bartelstein said of Bulger's deal. "Kurt wants to play, and I think there's going to be a lot of interesting situations out there for him (with other teams). Sometimes change is good, and that time may be here for Kurt."
Bartelstein, Warner's agent, said his client expected to be released after June 1 and that he doubted Warner would be willing to play backup to Bulger or take a salary cut to stay with the Rams.
Bartelstein said that since the Rams gave Warner permission to shop his skills elsewhere in the NFL, "we've talked to a number of teams, and there's certainly a lot of interest." Bartelstein declined to elaborate. He said Warner continues to work out at Rams Park.
Louis Post-Dispatch. "It's nice to have a little stability in your life rather than a one-year deal."
"We're just moving forward," he said. "Nothing is written in stone and crazy things can happen every day. But that's the path we're headed down right now."
Bartlestein said Warner had not decided if he would participate in the team's mini-camp May 21-23. "I know the Rams would like to have Kurt back but the time is probably right for a change," he said. "I don't anticipate him being a backup, but I won't draw a line in the sand."
Bulger, 27, has been a big success in 1 1/2 seasons as a starter with the Rams. He won his first six starts in 2002 and led the team to a 12-4 record and an NFC West championship last year, then was the MVP in the Pro Bowl after throwing a record four touchdowns.
In 15 starts last season, Bulger threw for an NFC-best 3,845 yards on 336-of-532 passing, with 22 touchdowns and 22 interceptions for an 81.4 passer rating.
since Pat Haden had four in 1976.
Bulger, taken by the New Orleans Saints in the sixth round of the 2000 draft out of West Virginia, also gained 75 yards on 29 carries in 2003, with his four touchdown runs the most the most by a Rams' quarterback
Warner was the NFL MVP in 1999 and 2001, leading the team to the Super Bowl each year. But he had just three touchdown passes and 11 interceptions in an injury-plagued 2002 and lost his job after fumbling six times while sustaining a concussion in the opener last year.
The Rams quarterback corps already includes 38-year-old veteran Chris Chandler as a backup. In the NFL draft last month, St. Louis chose Jeff Smoker of Michigan State in the sixth round.
As Indy 500 nears, no limit on speed
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — The rule makers can cut the fuel, limit the horsepower and tinker with the downforce all they want.
The only sure way to slow the cars at Indianapolis is to post a speed limit and station a cop with a radar gun at each turn. As a desperate measure, they could always put a speed bump across the strip of bricks at the start-finish line.
It seems that no matter what is done to control speed for safety's sake, the engineering geniuses will find a way to make the cars go faster, and the teams and drivers
"I remember a few years ago, they knocked us down to 212.213 (mph) when they went to a different spec."

will continue to push the limits.
It's why they race.
"I remember a few years ago, they knocked us down to 212, 213 (mph) when they went to a different spec," driver Robby Gordon said. "By last year, we were already back up to the 230s again."
The first Indianapolis 500 was in 1911, and the day after the race, a newspaper questioned if the speeds were already too fast. Ray Harroun won that race at 74.6 mph.
At last year's pole speed of less than 232 mph, Helio Castroneve could have completed three laps in the time it took Harroun to drive once around the same 2.1/2-mile oval.
The speed climbed steadily and was nearing 150 by the early 1960s, when the front-engine roadsters gave way to a rearengine revolution of speed and
technology. By the end of that decade, speeds were up to nearly 170, and it took just four more years to reach the high 190s.
The deadly 1973 race, when two drivers and a crewman were killed, prompted another effort to cut speeds, but by 1977 they were just under 199.
The next year, Tom Sneva became the first to qualify at more than 200, and over the next 18 years the pole speeds rose to Arie Luyendyk's record 236.986 mph.
The track opens for practice Sunday, with qualifications set for May 15-16 and May 23.
