Rams Fire Equipment Manager Todd Hewitt
Fired Equipment Manager - Todd Hewitt has been with the Rams since he was a 10-year-old ballboy in 1967. “He’d been appointed equipment manager in 1986, succeeding his father, the late Don Hewitt, who’d held the position since 1967.” Last Friday, Steve Spagnuolo fired him because he wanted to move in a different direction. “To hear Hewitt tell it, Spagnuolo brought a militaristic dysfunction to the locker room. He criticized the way Hewitt distributed socks. He questioned the way he hung wall fixtures. He scoffed at him for loading the team plane too slowly. He warned him never to talk back to him.” (Riverfront Times)

The horror.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:05 PM
to be fair, Hewitt was distributing socks by actually putting them on the feet of each player.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:08 PM
“To be honest, I’m praying they lose every game next year,” he says, adding that he has vowed never to watch another Rams game with Spagnuolo at the helm.
I understand why he is upset, but for someone who has such ties to the organization (rather than just the current head coach), this seems juvenile.
/Oilers did the same thing last summer to the training/medical staff

Exhibit #123,472 that 95% of football coaches above a grade-school level are total control-freak assholes.

I’m guessing TST is a Rams fan. Wonder what he think about this.

Go on.

did he mention anything about Spagnuolo running around STL shooting stray dogs with arrows?
January 12th, 2011 at 3:16 PM
Equipment manager fired? Wow. In other news I stubbed my toe this morning.
/of equal relevance.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:16 PM
seriously????? there’s an award for this?????
January 12th, 2011 at 3:17 PM
So in 44 years he only went from ball boy to the guy who oversees the ball boy? I’d can him too for not having greater drive.
I’m just kidding. I’d have fired him long ago for not shooting the producer of the “Just Ram It!” video when he likely had a clear shot.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:17 PM
my brother worked with the equipment guys for the rams for a couple years, I bet he knew him.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:19 PM
I did not realize that Spagnuolo was really a woman, ’cause thats the kind of shit you hear from your wife everyday.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:19 PM
lol, is that serious?

I was right! Baby Sinclair from Dinosaurs is voiced by the same guy that does Elmo!
January 12th, 2011 at 3:20 PM
Spagnuolo brought a militaristic dysfunction to the locker room. He criticized the way Hewitt distributed socks. He questioned the way he hung wall fixtures. He scoffed at him for loading the team plane too slowly.
lol, is that serious?
Maybe the inspiration posters in the locker room were hung crooked. That would piss me off too.

who in 1997 earned the NFL’s Equipment Manager of the Year Award
The Rams shower discipline that year was off the charts
January 12th, 2011 at 3:21 PM
Somebody had to be the fall guy for not being able to win that shitty division.
/Go Seahawks!
January 12th, 2011 at 3:22 PM
upon further review you’ll see that the sock distribution and fixture hanging method was directly responsible for the teams failures over the years just as much as the way he screwed on facemasks was responsible for the successes.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:22 PM
Few topics have the power to jump from post to post. Dinosaurs, it turns out, is one of them. That last episode was pretty nuts.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:25 PM
How can you fire an Equipment Manager that’s taken your team to three Super Bowls?
January 12th, 2011 at 3:25 PM
Yes, and the voice of Mr. Crabs is also does Lex Luthor.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:25 PM
he was quite an athletic supporter.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:26 PM
Wasn’t it?! I can’t believe Clarence Thomas is on the Supreme Court.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:26 PM
All I remember about Dinosaurs was the running Timmy joke and “Not the Mama”
January 12th, 2011 at 3:29 PM
Long time, beloved equipment guy fired for no good reason? Maybe I’m cynical, but there’s got to be more to it than this.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:29 PM
ha, uh, yeah. the amount of rams shit that I got over those couple years that I really didn’t want was unreal. what sucked is that is was all nice stuff, unfortunately, it also said st. louis rams on it.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:30 PM
I love Clarence Thomas as should anyone who went to law school and had to read Supreme Court opinions.

Hey Kaiser… Torre scored Liverpool’s goal today. We were just talking about him the other day, haha

Actually though, as for my comment re: thomas and law school, he writes really short opinions so they were always the easiest to read and quickly comprehend.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:42 PM
Oops.. Torres

I thought all lawyers were super liberal, no? Fox News lied to me.

Broccoli, yeah saw that. Good for him. Needs to move though. Liverpool is a sinking ship.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:57 PM

And he was the Kurgen in Highlander. And Home Depot commercials……
January 12th, 2011 at 4:03 PM
Now that you mention it, I’m surprised I never thought about it.
January 16th, 2011 at 8:12 PM
The Rams should also have fired the GM ,since he has no balls to defend
a man who has been there longer then half the organization.While your at fire the HC because he a bone head.I’m not routing for the Rams while he’s there.I urge all Ram to boycott the team.
