Cosby Show kicked ass, one of those rare shows that really moves American culture. Also 54 is so damn young, it makes this one shocking as hell. RIP.

Man is it painful being at home with 2 tickets in my wallet to go. To the point I looked at todays flights to see what it would take to get there, $1200+ RT yikes

Sure, its just bad form to criticize others for not comprehending a nonsensical post. Was just trying to be funny

Jourdan gave him a shout out from OTAs already. His highlight tape shows some fantastic route running so we'll see... excited to see what he can do at camp. He's like Ladd McConkey without the speed but with less injury issues.

He said it was “ALL about giving hope to people in Hawaii”? I never heard it. If he said it, it was clearly hyperbole because he repeatedly stressed the team building and forming better people through personal relationships, etc…. I find it odd that you would zero out everything else he said and harp on the idea that he was being “disingenuous” because he - in your mind - insinuated that it was ONLY about that one item you pegged. I guess nothing else he said mattered.

Maybe I’m wrong but I highly doubt many if any others drew that conclusion from the event or the media put out around it.

It looked to me like it was a fun event for all (players, kids, fans, families, staff members, etc) included some charitable work and giving, and built some great camaraderie, while building the brand. There were obviously many aspects to it and it appeared to be done with class.

Ever since the return to LA the Rams have been a first rate franchise. The kind of organization people would want to work for. Players and staff both. I don't recall any ex Ram having something negative to say about the organization or the owner. And the vets who came here pretty much agree the Rams are a first class organization. This trip to Maui is another example of that. I've always taken pride in my Rams fandom. But the last 8 years have taken it to another level.

Clemente and gang made me a life long Pirate fan. I always thought of Parker as a gentle giant.

I'm a Cardinals fan...but I will always have a soft spot for the Pirates because of Clemente, even though they're in our division. Just one of the most wonderful, caring human beings of all time, someone that nobody had a bad word against, and that's not even mentioning how amazing he was as a player.

Parker was much the same. Talented ballplayer, but apparently a good human being as well. May he rest in peace and paradise.

I don't think the question with anyone with half a brain is if Goff's been a good QB, it's been if he has what it takes to be a SB winning QB. To lock it in when it comes down to it and the answer to that is NO.

Click to expand...

To this point in his career, the answer is "no". He's beginning his 10th season in the NFL (man how time flies!!!!) so he's got time. Fortunately for him, he's playing for a good team. Unfortunately, they just lost both their coordinators. So if they're gonna win anything, it would take a stellar effort from him. I hope he doesn't accomplish it ..... for personal reasons. But in year 10 our very own Matt Stafford hadn't shown he had what it took to even win a postseason game, let alone a Lombardi. That being said, we can look back over NFL history and see many stellar QBs who can't say they had what it took to win a Lombardi....without the Lombardi.

Corbin said:

He does have the gut check capability in him to complete a whole season, and the evidence supports that conclusion. As of right now he's comparable to a Matt Ryan, nothing more.

Absolutely true. And not a bad comparison at all.

Welcome to the 2025 Season Goff roast everybody wooooooo!

Click to expand...

Yeah, the things we'll talk about leading up to camp and the start of the season. What a bunch of slackers! After talking to Ram fans for the last few decades, I think Ram fans see Rams QBs in 3 different decending lights.

Warner, outta nowhere, winner of a SB (also a 2 time SB loser FWIW)

Ferragamo, outta nowhere, loser of a SB

Everett, high draft pick, never played in a SB

Goff is squeezed somewhere under Ferragamo and over Everett. Stafford is in there with Warner, probably a little lower if not for all the Kurt/Brenda drama. he did what we got him to do.

That's my prediction: Stewart will replace Young.

I'm really high on Stewart. I like Young but he doesn't create pressure or sacks - he's more of a cleanup guy. And I don't see him developing into more than that.

Click to expand...

Yeah, Young isn't a bad player, but, he isn't a difference maker yet.
Hes a solid guy, probably best suited to be a very good rotational guy.
Jackson is another edge prospect that could be interesting. I loved the pick when he was drafted, but, when he played he looked a bit stiff and slow footed.
The sample size is too small to really make a judgement however.
Lots of young defensive players Im looking forward to watching this year.

Well - 2025 is starting of TRAINING CAMP- predictions

-Hard call,but Xavier Smith is underrated as a player. His special teams skills were top on The Rams.
He was the 1st player down as a gunner. Was a returner.

I just wish it was in L.A. Nah, on second thought let's knock them out in front of their fans. Won't be snowing this time.

If the LA RAMS had gotten him seven years earlier there would have been a couple more Lombardi Trophies in the case.

I just went on to CBSSports.com web site to review the Rams depth chart.

Now I realize these depth charts this time of year are often inaccurate, and to take them with a grain of salt. (For example Nate Landman is listed behind dead-man-walking Troy Reeder, and we all know Reeder probably won’t ultimately be starting) But in reviewing the offense something was missing….hmm…no Guard position players. At all. Maybe they are listed under Center, you know like interior lineman? Nope. Dotson, Avilla, etc. omitted from the depth chart.

So I thought huh. Must be an aberration. And I went into the Whiners page. Sure enough. No Guards listed. Check it out yourself.

What morons. Who’s running their site? Kind of a first-world football fan problem. But I’m calling those guys out.

Dummies.

That is all

By all accounts, Hunter is a quick study in absorbing & assimilating offensive details. So he may hit the field quicker and more frequently than most rookie RBs under the McVay regime. As always the key issue for the Leprechaun is the following:

Sean (to Hunter): "If I allow you on the football field in a real game, will Matthew remain healthy with respect to your pass protection efforts? You see, we are trying to complete a successful Super Bowl run here."

Why ? The Rams are not in that position. If the top guy gets hurt there are 2 other talented guys.

I was responding negatively to the use of a Rams bell cow RB. Committed seems the smarter approach.

Sorry, but I gotta bitch again. I can’t stand hitting the link for articleswhere the first thing they do is ask you for more money to read shit that everybody else gives you for free. I had to get that off my chest.
It’s like going to Subway and being asked to give a tip to somebody who merely made a sandwich for me.

Click to expand...

No doubt. Worst thing is as a diehard fan it's not like that shit is going to be worth the money. You probably know more about the Rams than he does. Only thing they can offer is direct info from the team.

And the tip thing is out of fucking control in American society. Bottom line is tips go to someone who waits on you. And in rare circumstances someone who you know went out of their way, above and beyond, to take care of you or make you comfortable. The fucking entitlement is some BS though I do tend to avoid the places that bring that shit to the fore.

I mean I refuse to overpay for coffee or tea for example, when coffee at home is as good or usually better. And they're notorious for that tip pushing shit, as well as "do you want to give to x" bullshite. Also I still get pissed when my wife and I are leaving the pet store and she gives money to the popup option to help shelters or whatever. Not because I have a problem giving money to shelters. But because I suspect none of it makes it to the actual animals. And that goes for any "do you want to give" option for that matter.
