<table> </table> ST. LOUIS | Maybe they&#8217;ll party like it&#8217;s 1999. That was a very good year for Dick Vermeil, Kurt Warner and the St. Louis Rams.</p><p>It&#8217;s no coincidence the Rams will add Vermeil to their stadium Ring of Honor on the day the quarterback who helped Vermeil win the franchise&#8217;s lone Super Bowl also is in town.</p><p>Vermeil coached the Rams&#8217; 23-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans after the 1999 season, clinched by Warner&#8217;s touchdown pass to Isaac Bruce. Vermeil will be honored at halftime of St. Louis&#8217; game Sunday against the Cardinals, whose offense is led by Warner.</p><p>Vermeil picked the Cardinals game to be honored because he wanted Warner, who won two NFL MVPs with the Rams, to be there. That means a lot to Warner.</p><p>&#8220;One of the greatest years of my life was that year with coach Vermeil, and winning the Super Bowl,&#8221; Warner said. &#8220;I just can&#8217;t say enough about him.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s neat that I&#8217;m going to get an opportunity to be playing the game where he&#8217;s inducted into the ring of honor.&#8221;</p><p>Vermeil was 5-11 and 4-12 in the first two seasons with the Rams before the franchise&#8217;s surprise breakthrough in &#8217;99. The keys to a 13-3 season were Warner&#8217;s rise from obscurity after Trent Green&#8217;s season-ending knee injury in the preseason, and the predraft trade for running back Marshall Faulk.</p><p>Vermeil was chosen coach of the year and then retired from the Rams. He coached five more years with the Chiefs, going 44-36, before retiring again after the 2005 season.</p><p>The halftime ceremony will feature a video tribute.</p><p>Warner played for the Rams during 1998-2003, winning two NFL MVP awards and a Super Bowl MVP award.</p><p><hr class="infobox-hr-separator" /> <div class="infobox"> <strong><span class="infobox-head"> OTHER NEWS </span></strong><br /> &#8226;<strong>BAD NEWS FOR COLTS: </strong>Indianapolis could lose starting cornerback Marlin Jackson for the rest of the season after he injured his knee in practice. </p><p> Coach Tony Dungy said Jackson was injured during Wednesday&#8217;s workout when he tried to stop.
