St. Louis Rams: News, Nuggets, and Notes at Noon (Monday Edition)

Good Monday to each of you and thank you for checking into today's daily St. Louis Rams noon update. Check back each day at the same time and place for quick updates across the spectrum regarding the Rams and related NFL information.

As most of you probably know, the St. Louis Rams 2012 London game is reportedly back on the schedule. 

The game(s) were potentially in jeopardy after the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Convention asserted that the Rams were required to play all "home" games in St. Louis at the Edward Jones Dome. 

However, the Rams and CVC apparently made much progress on that front and one has to wonder if this is perhaps a positive sign regarding the lease negotiations that are ongoing between the parties. 

In the latest on the St. Louis general manager search, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that the Rams interviewed Ron Hill in Indianapolis (the site of the Super Bowl).  The Rams have now interviewed several candidates and no decision regarding the eventual hiring of a new GM appears imminent.

In case you missed it this weekend, Jeff Fisher has stated a willingness to listen to trade offers for the No. 2 overall pick and says the Rams will not pick that high again in the NFL Draft under his watch.  

Off the field, you might recall that the Rams front office, players and local media helped in Joplin, Missouri (many of them on two occasions).  For new updates regarding the Rams continuing work in Joplin, please look at this.  

Missouri governor Jay Nixon has issued the "Governor's Joplin Challenge" for tornado stricken Joplin. I urge you to take a look at the Rams page of this program.  This program could be very impacting for those struggling in Joplin.

Finally, speaking of impact, here is a look at 10 of the best NFL plays of the year as we put a bow on the conclusion of the season.
