“I don’t want to” this, “but…”
“I don’t want to” that, “but…”
“Maybe not a red flag, but a pink flag…”

How is any of that, “shit stirring”?

She’s actively qualifying and attributing her information and her perspective.
She’s playing down any overreaction, but putting her information into context.
That’s reporting.


“Shit stirring” suggests she’s intentionally trying to agitate people.
She goes to great lengths to contextualize what she heard from others at the combine as well as Donald’s history and what she knows about the current situation.

She didn’t tweet it… she didn’t write an article on “Yhe Rams Might Lose Aaron Donald.”

It was in the back end of a pod discussing what she saw/learned at the combine. She is literally reporting on conversations from the combine.. where she was on the ground.

 

[Kupped]

She is just a talking head trying to make a buck. The interview with Sneed is what you need to watch.

Lolzzzzz

Sorry.. that ain’t it.

You have a very difficult time with disagreements of opinions.

If you can’t comprehend the “eye of the beholder” concept, that’s your problem.

To me, she was shit stirring. Some here agree with me.

To you, she was just reporting. Some agree with you.

That’s it.

 

[WestCoastRam]

It's because she's connected to the team and doesn't want to lose any sources. It doesn't mean she won't criticize certain moves, but I don't blame her for not wanting to lose sources.

We could do a hell of a lot worse than Jourdan, as the Panthers - and Cam - found out to their cost.

I think that's fair. I also think a man would probably push it a little but that's my own bullshit. Also, Robinson is a national reporter.

 

[blackbart]

Lolzzzzz

Sorry.. that ain’t it.

So enlighten us, she’s not some unique gift to Rams fans. She’s a good reporter most of the time but she is only regurgitating what she got from Sneed.

Eventually the band aid will be ripped off and the post AD era will begin.

That's life. The Rams won after Deacon left. They won after Olsen left. They won after Youngblood left. Warner. Faulk. Ike. Torry. Goff. Gurley. And they'll win after AD leaves. My advice to fellow Ram fans is ENJOY the time he's here. Don't worry about him leaving because he has to eventually. We don't have to find somebody to replace him because NOBODY can replace him.

I think some are underestimating AD's impact, even in 2024. No one replaces what he can do. Kobie Turner is OK, but he will never be Aaron Freakin' Donald. Any success that others had on the Dline is a direct result of the attention he receives. He is one of one. Having said that, if the guy wants to retire then I am all for it. He's given us all the opportunity and pleasure to witness his greatness.

I want you back AD in 2024, but if you wanna go then go and be happy.

Nope. Not acceptable. If AD doesn’t show up to play next year, I’m personally sending you to go beat his A**! Lol.

 

[fanotodd]

I may not be doing a good job sharing what she said, I think she was just trying to report two things, all the teams asking about Donald's status and the change in tone of McVay and Snead. She did say that all this speculation would go away with a word from Donald.

I suggest people listen to the Pod to hear what she said. I thought it was reasonable reporting of things to keep an eye on.

“…would go away with a word from Donald.” That’s really all that matters.

 

[fanotodd]

Also, this is absolutely pure speculation from me... but I think she's gonna be gone soon and graduate from the Rams beat to something more national.

Now they’re poaching our beat writers?
Fucking NFL.

Hm.

I actually just like to walk through the basis of those opinions.

Because, you’d agree.. they should be based on something, no?

No, she’s not.

 

[fanotodd]

She’s not.

Just because you don’t like the reporting doesn’t mean it’s not sourced or genuine.

She also contextualizes her info.

But you’d have to actually listen to get that.. as opposed to knee-jerking it.

“Knee-jerking it”,.
You flatter me.
Obviously blue font!

 

[AvengerRam]

It is.

Your recognition or acceptance of my basis is immaterial.

Move on.

It is possible that once again Donald is using his “retirement leverage “ to get the team to go a certain direction.

Bottom line though, he’s on the decline despite teams still sending 2-3 blockers his way.

So… get more guys like the conductor to make hay while the OL is distracted.

But I hear what you’re saying. If his heart isn’t in it…

 

[Allen2McVay]

...

...

Careful

I'm pretty sure there is a Forum Rule prohibiting words that have more than four Syllables.

@CGI_Ram instituted the Rule to help some of us feel a little less dumb.

 

[Kupped]

It is.

Move on.

But… I have my opinion on the matter.

And.. feel free to take your own direction.
