(Disclaimer: because Twitter is so damn fuzzy, we have 0% confidence that “TorryHolt” on Twitter is the actual Torry Holt.  All signs point to “yes”, so just follow along, alright?  It makes this story better.)

Earlier today, we posted a column that poked fun at Torry Holt’s Twitter page – primarily because he signed with Jacksonville during the off-season and still has a background image of himself in a Rams jersey.  No big deal, really.  Just thought it was vaguely humorous.

For a new background image, we suggested that Torry use the infamous picture of him at a Jacksonville Jaguars press conference, where he proudly displayed a broken finger that is *beyond* repair.  This photo is pictured below.

We sent a link to the incredibly informative column through our own Twitter account and Mr. Holt was certainly listening.  Within hours, he followed our instructions for updating his own background image, used our suggestion, and even threw some props our way.  Love it.

Kudos to #81 for being candid enough to joke around a bit on a Wednesday afternoon.  He still didn’t get the dig about not having his own, personal website.  You’d figure that Torry “Big Game” Holt would have a big game interactive website.  Apparently Wikipedia is just fine.

We’re actually in the process of compiling a list of the people in and around St. Louis sports that have jumped aboard the Twitter train.  Check back tomorrow for our evolving tallies.

Until then, feast your eyes on the Twitter page of Torry Holt.

All signs point to someone close to Torry setting up the account for him.  We’re not saying that #81 is technologically-challenged, but the fact that his “personal website” is a Wikipedia entry may provide some insight into his digital market knowledge.  Regardless, we’re guessing that Torry’s Twitter advocate couldn’t be reached for further administrative assistance because that background could use some updating.

Torry, if you’re reading, click on the “Settings” option…then “Design”…then “change background image”.

May we also suggest that you use this image.  Now carry on.

Safe to say, most St. Louis Rams fans are going to miss #81 this season.   One thing we’re not going to miss is the second finger on his left hand – which is a few degree ticks away from being a perfect right angle.  Sickening.

Why didn’t we hear more about that thing when Torry was in St. Louis? Some people covering the Rams have complained that there’s been nothing of substance to talk about for the past three years since the team has been an utter mess. Goodness, the Post should have hired one beat writer to just cover Holt’s finger. Give it a blog. Daily photos. Whatever. The people need updates on that thing.

Torry “Big Game” Holt made a few parting shots at the Rams organization as he makes his way down to sunny Jacksonville, Florida.

This from Jaguars.com…

“A lot of that stuff about my knee and not being effective was all false. You never saw me missing games. I think it came down to us not being that good. Everyone struggled.”

Oh, there’s more…

“To be able to catch 64 passes in a disgruntled organization was actually pretty good. All this talk about my decline is false.”

That last statement is actually quite humorous when you think of the Rams 2008 montage.  Scott Linehan, Richie Incognito, Linehan, Jim Haslett, Linehan.  But, need we remind Torry Holt that he’s heading to an organization that was 5-11 last season and only averages 30.0 yards/game more than the Rams?
