New QB Justin Fields went down with a dislocated toe in practice today, which spurred me to go over and watch the Rich Eisen Show for the meltdown. Dude is a longtime, longsuffering Jets homer and it seems to always be something with the Jets. Either losing out on the number one QB in the draft because they won one game (vs the Rams) or signing ARod only for him to get injured in the first game of that season, or now the injury to Fields in training camp is evidence of the Jets Curse.
But..
Can a team be cursed if they have won a Super Bowl? Which team is the most cursed team in the NFL?

I haven’t seen this posted yet anywhere but figured I would update the list on here every week for the sake of discussion. So far there’s one Ram and Kyren Williams is sitting at 85. For some reason today released 71-63. Not sure why but it’s all the info we have so far.

RIP Hulk! What a larger than life figure you were.

I've seen these lists over the years, but I thought I'd put together an updated list for 2025.

As the Rams get ready to start camp for the 2025 season, with perhaps the most excitement since the eventual 2021 Super Bowl winner opened summer camp, let's take a look at the top ten players that have played the most important position on the team, Quarterback, since the 1937 inception of the Cleveland Rams.

1. Kurt Warner - His story is perhaps the greatest rags-to-riches story in NFL history. 1999 out of nowhere, "We will rally around Kurt Warner, and we will play good football", became an amazingly prophetic understatement, and Warner slayed the loser-label the Rams bore for nearly the entire decade of the '90's. The Rams won their first Super Bowl in franchise history, and nearly repeated the feat in 2001, creating a mini-dynasty of the Greatest Show on Truth, were it not for the Cheatriots. Kurt started only 50 games for the Rams, (was 35-15 .700 winning percentage) and is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

2. Norm Van Brocklin- (65 starts 42-20-3 .669) Drafted by the Rams in 1949, Van Brocklin initially platooned in an unusual and successful offensive system with Bob Waterfield. The Rams had a prolific passing attack with Tom Fears and Elroy "Crazy legs" Hirsch at the receiving end of the ball. NVB still holds the single game record of 554 yards in 1951 game and the Los Angeles Rams won their first pre-Superbowl title that year. Van Brocklin is enshrined in the Hall of Fame.

3. Matthew Stafford- (57 starts 34-23 .596) Brought over in a shocking and exciting trade before the 2021 season, Matthew Stafford immediately led the Rams to their first Superbowl title in the city of Los Angeles. Stafford continued his legacy from the Lions of toughness, a strong arm, and a true leader. The future hall of Famer is still at the top of his game, and could move his way to the top of this list before he retires.

4. Bob Waterfield- (Only 22 starts! 14-8 .636) Sole entry on this list from the Cleveland era, Waterfield's #7 is retired by the Rams, and he led the Cleveland Rams to the 1945 Championship. He was one of the best passers, punters and kickers in his era. Bob Waterfield is a Hall of Famer, and the man was married to Jane Russell. So, there's that.

5. Roman Gabriel- (Team most 119 starts 74-39-6 .647) The much-loved Gabriel led the Rams throughout the late 1960's and early 1970's. Roman was NFL MVP in 1969. The 4-time pro-bowler led the league in passing touchdowns twice and passing yards in 1969. Sadly, the Rams did not enjoy any playoff success under Gabriel, and he was later traded to the Eagles.

6. Jim Everett- (105 starts 46-59 YIKES! .438) The franchise record holder in yards and second in total starts can't fall too far down the list. Jim Everett was very talented and competitive in the late '80's but is certainly tainted by the "phantom sack" and the inability to conquer the 49ers.

7. Jared Goff- (69 starts 42-27 .609) Goff came in 1st overall pick in 2016 and recovered from a terrible start to take the Rams to the Super Bowl LIII in the 2018 season. Goff may have lacked the killer instinct, but his .609 winning percentage and overall success put him at #7 on the list.

8. Vince Ferragamo- (44 starts 26-18 .591) Taking the Rams to the Superbowl is always going to raise your stature in the eyes of Rams fans. In 1979, Ferragamo took over as starter and took an improbably team (Probably the least-talented Rams team of the 1970's) and nearly beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XIV. I only wish his time as starter was more consistent, and longer, and the Rams may have hoisted a Lombardi in the early Eighties.

9. Mark Bulger- (95 starts 41-54 .432 yeesh) Mad Mike Martz made a bad decision giving up on Kurt Warner when he battled a thumb injury in 2002. But he was onto something that wasn't too crazy. Mark Bulger was a very talented (and the best of the Brady 6) quarterback. Two-time Pro Bowler Bulger is ninth on this list.

10. James Harris- (27 starts 21-6 .778) With apologies to John Hadl (Not enough games -19 starts 15-4 .789) and Pat Haden (I just couldn't -55 starts 35-19) James Harris was one of the first black starting quarterbacks (I hate that label) when it truly was groundbreaking and came with a lot of pressure. He was a good leader, steady and deserves #10 on this list.

There you are gentlemen. One man's opinion. What is your top 10 quarterback list, circa 2025?

most will think Tour de France

and , you would be wrong

Tour de France might be the largest competitive Bicycle event ,

but.............

Ragbrai , here in Iowa is actually the largest event , it's a noncompetitive event , it brings in 20,000 bicyclers , from all over the US and around the world

the route changes every year , but it starts on the Missouri River and ends on the Mississippi River

this year route is 406 miles , it came through here in NW Iowa ,

I've often thought about giving it a try , but thats as far as it ever got

but if there are any big time cyclists out there , might be something to look into , every town they past through has some kind of event waiting for them , and the towns they stay in over night , always have live concerts and street dance , and carnivals , and stuff

it's really for those who like to spend a week with 20,000 other people who share your interests ................LOL

and plus , you get to enjoy Iowa's beautiful country side

She mentioned she'll be pitching in till Athletic makes decision on her replacement.

Hello,

This is your (unofficial?) Commissioner for the 2024 ROD Fantasy Football League. I'm turning the leagues back on this year. I have a message for two different audiences:

1. If you played last year and want to continue: sign back into sleeper and make sure you get invited back to the league. Then leave a message here saying "I'm back and my team is named <insert team name>"
2. If you are new or did not play last year but want to: Just say "I'm new" and I'll see what I can do. We used Sleeper last year and will continue using it. Depending on the amount of returnees and new folks, I may increase league sizes or create a 3rd league, or do something else entirely.

Right now I'm just gauging interest. But follow this thread as we get closer to get input into draft times, league invites, major rule changes (if any happen), etc.

Wow...

Hollywood stars honored Malcolm-Jamal Warner with moving tributes to "The Cosby Show" actor shared one day after his drowning death in Costa Rica. He was 54.

Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé and Kate Hudson were just a few colleagues who paid respectsonline to Warner.

"Speechless on this one," Foxx shared on Instagram Monday with a photo of "The Resident" star. "Rest in power, my brother."

Beyoncé added an image of Warner to her website, and wrote, "Rest in power, Malcolm-Jamal Warner. For being a big part of our shared television history. You will be missed."

"Spent time working on a film in Australia with Malcolm and he was the kindest and sweetest," Kate Hudson wrote on her Instagram stories. "My heart is heavy and sending such love to @malcolmjamalwar family."

"Heartbroken to hear about the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Working alongside him on The Resident was an honor," Morris Chestnut shared online. "He brought so much depth, warmth, and wisdom to every scene and every conversation. One of the nicest in the business. Rest easy, brother. Your legacy lives on."

"Everyone at Fox is heartbroken by the tragic loss of our friend and colleague, the extraordinary Malcolm-Jamal Warner," the network said in a statement shared with The Associated Press. "While his iconic roles – from comedic to dramatic – are unforgettable and timeless, Malcolm will be remembered most for his warmth, kind heart and the lasting impact he had on his friends, family and fans everywhere. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family and loved ones."

Warner's former "9-1-1" co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt posted in her Instagram stories, "I cannot believe this. This hurts my heart. A gentleman, an incredible talent and we were so lucky to have him in the 911 family. Heartbroken and sending love to his family."

Tracee Ellis Ross shared a carousel of images with Warner online, and wrote, "I love you, Malcolm. First I met you as Theo with the rest of the world then you were my first TV husband. My heart is so so sad. What an actor and friend you were: warm, gentle, present, kind, thoughtful, deep, funny, elegant. You made the world a brighter place. Sending so much love to your family. I’m so sorry for this unimaginable loss."

Viola Davis wrote on Instagram, "I actually am speechless!!!!! No words! Theo was our son, our brother, our friend... He was absolutely so familiar, and we rejoiced at how TV got it right!! But... Malcolm got it right... and now... we reveled in your life and are gutted by this loss. Blessings and prayers to your family and loved ones... We will speak your name—always."

Taraji P. Henson admitted Warner's death "hurt" in a post shared online. "Malcolm, we grew up with you," she wrote. "Thank you for the art, the wisdom, the grace you gave us!!!!! You left the world better than you found it. Rest easy, king!!!! Your legacy lives far beyond the screen."

Warner co-hosted the "Not All Hood" podcast with Candace Kelly, a platform where different lived experiences were discussed from within the Black community.

"We’re heartbroken by the unexpected passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner," the Fanbase network said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "On Fanbase, he showed us what it means to be a creator with purpose, Malcolm brought intention, integrity, and brilliance wherever he was. His legacy runs deep and we were honored to witness it. His voice as a Black man in America shaped generations and reminded creators everywhere of the power of speaking truth through their work.The Fanbase community joins the world in mourning his loss and honoring the impact he had on culture. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all those who were inspired by his light."

Warner was swimming Sunday at Playa Grande de Cocles in the Limon province when a current pulled him into deeper waters, Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Department claimed.

"He was rescued by people on the beach," an initial report stated, but first responders could not revive the actor.

Warner gained fame as the son of Heathcliff Huxtable, played by Bill Cosby, on "The Cosby Show" from 1984 to 1992. He appeared in all 197 episodes of the NBC sitcom.

In 1986, Warner earned an Emmy nomination for best supporting actor in a comedy.

The show's legacy was tarnished after Cosby was accused of sexual assault. Cosby's 2018 conviction was overturned in 2021. Since then, five more women have come forward with accusations against the comedian.

Despite the controversy, Warner was still proud of the show.

"Regardless of how some people may feel about the show now, I'm still proud of the legacy and having been a part of such an iconic show that had such a profound impact on – first and foremost, Black culture – but also American culture," Warner told People magazine in 2023.

Kobie Turner already knows which game he's looking forward to most on the teams' 2025 regular-season schedule.
The Los Angeles Rams' defensive tackle told NFL Network's The Insiders recently that he's been excited for a rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3 since he saw when the game would take place.

"I've had that loss in the back of my mind for a while," Turner said. "Obviously, it's on to a new season and on to continue to progress, but I definitely have — I believe it's Week 3 — circled. I mean, even in the individual training right now, we're breaking down, 'OK, this is how some of the guys, some of the offensive linemen for the Eagles, this is how they block, and this is how we're going to defeat that.'"

Click to expand...

L.A. lost to the eventual Super Bowl champions twice in 2024: First in Week 12 and then by just six points in the NFC Divisional Round. The defense played a big role in both defeats after giving up 599 combined rushing yards in those two games, 460 of which from the legs of running back Saquon Barkley.

"So, I mean, ultimately, the thing that really got us last year is there's a couple of big runs," Turner added. "We stopped the run for the most part, handled it really well, but a couple of those runs where we didn't fit it up right, where Saquon was able to get to the second level fast, and he's super dangerous there. So at the end of the day, it's about getting Saquon down, and that's what we're gonna do a lot better of this year, making sure that we stop the run on the run."

To combat this, the Rams upgraded their defensive front with the addition of nose tackle Poona Ford. L.A. also drafted Ohio State defensive tackle Ty Hamilton in the fifth round to add to the team's depth.
Turner doesn't want to continue to dwell on the past, but he didn't deny he's excited for a shot at revenge so early in the season.

"I'm just super excited to be able to run that back," he said. "Obviously those guys are Super Bowl champs, they won it, they deserve it and whatnot, but this year's a new year, and man, we definitely have that game circled, I definitely have that game circled, and I'm super excited to get another crack at those guys."

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

Avatar animation: I know we had this before, and I recall something being said as to why we lost it (I forgot) but is Avatar animation ever coming back?

I wouldn’t say the golden age is over… But.. put me in this camp…

I like the fact McVay is talking about a rookie RB actually playing AND providing something new. Can't wait to see the reports on this kid in camp. It's great for the whole RB room. He could be pushing Corum for the #2 spot and eventually (2026?) become the #1.

So me and the wife recently moved into a new house and I was given a wall I was allowed to make my "Rams Wall" / Man-Cave Wall

Well it was empty but $20 on ebay later and a few autographs I had lyring around as well as posters and the wall is starting to come together. Lots of random autographs I got in an ebay auction, like 10 of them for $20 ($2 a piece)! I'm not cheap just frugal, lol Still have 3 I need to hang up!

But anyways here is the wall in progress. Points if you can name the player and bonus points if you can name the Wrestling autographs!

It's a small hallway so sorry if the pictures aren't the greatest.


**Also was curious to see other ROD members wall of Rams!

I just saw Peter Frampton-Let's Do It Again, last month perform non stop 2 hours and 30 mins <INDESCRIBABLE).

As a return appreciation, My Dad turns 71 on July 19th and Mr. Robin Trower and supporting band comes through Phoenix AZ on October 9th. We've seen him 3 times prior since 2005. What else does a son give his father for this kind of birthday as a present? Duh!

If he's touring through your state/city I highly recommend you go see this guitarist. He's absolutely fucking mesmerizing.

Davante Adams, Puka Nacua both ranked outside top 10 WRs by NFL coaches and executives

Davante Adams and Puka Nacua didn't get much respect from NFL talent evaluators in ESPN's poll, both rankings outside the 10 best WRs in football.

Davante Adams, Puka Nacua both ranked outside top 10 WRs by NFL coaches and executives​

How low were the Rams' wide receivers ranked on this list?​

AD



As a tandem, there’s no question Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are among the top wide receiver duos in the NFL. But individually, coaches, executives and scouts don’t see either player as being one of the 10 best at their position.
ESPN polled talent evaluators from around the league on the top 10 wide receivers and neither Nacua nor Adams made the cut. They both ended up being honorable mentions in a group that includes four other receivers, but they fell short of the coveted top 10.

There’s a case to be made for both of them being ranked much higher but for whatever reason, they were snubbed.
One NFL defensive coach was shocked Nacua didn’t make the top 10, while an AFC executive said he “probably doesn’t have the high-end ability as some of the others on the list.”

"I can't believe he's not in the top 10. He's just got the 'it' factor." -- NFL defensive coach
Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle
If ESPN put the honorable mentions in order by the number of votes players received, that would make Nacua the 12th-best receiver and Adams the 16th-best – both of which are probably too low.

Here is the full top 10 from ESPN's poll.

1. Ja'Marr Chase
2. Justin Jefferson
3. Tyreek Hill
4. CeeDee Lamb
5. A.J. Brown
6. Amon-Ra St. Brown
7. Malik Nabers
8. Nico Collins
9. Mike Evans
10. Garrett Wilson

One NFL coordinator had this to say about Adams, who was ranked No. 5 just last season in this same poll: “When you watch him up close, he's still exactly what the classic 'X' receiver should look like."

ADVERTISING

Since the 2020 season, Adams has caught 59 touchdown passes, the most of any player in the NFL in that span. Since Nacua came into the league in 2023, he’s averaged 88.4 receiving yards per game, which is the fourth-highest of any player.
Adams has the ninth-most catches since 2023 and Nacua has the 10th-most – and that’s despite both of them playing fewer games than the only eight players with more receptions in the last two years.

After this season, it’s possible Adams and Nacua will both vault into the top 10, assuming they’re able to stay healthy and reach the high expectations everyone has for them as teammates. Big things could be
