Everytime I saw Craig Dahl play, I would think of the cartoon dog - which way did he go George which way did he go

I'm 55 and reading the thread title gave me my first ever "trigger" moment. Fortunately this post made me spit the bottle of pills out.
I was like, yeah, wtf am I doing?
The Linehan references, however, have popped something loose, things that I've paid my shrink alot of money to keep locked up in a deep dark place.
Without a doubt. As happy as I was to see us move from Fish to Sean the truth is Fish (and Snead) did a ton of pre-work in churning the roster and raising the bar. There was talent when Sean came in and that was a big part of this run that began with success on day one for him.
The day is coming when Sean elects to move on, either to a new situation with maybe more control or maybe even the media where he'll be a juggernaut there as well. So for me I'm gonna savor each moment of this window. We have a season ahead with a good chance to win it all, no idea where we'll end up but it's gonna be a great ride.

Orrr....mcvay will be coaching here into his 60's putting him at shulas record of 328 wins.
I think he'll have to get fired before he leaves on his own and why would either of those things happen? Say what you want about California but when you're a star in LA , there's nothing like it. His kids will grow up there. He'll get entrenched in that rut of waking up next to a beautiful wife, and great human being, pondering all the fun things socal has to offer from his beautiful home, never paying for a meal at some of the best restaurants in the country, including his own, popping in to chat with Kimmel or hanging courtside with the lakers, etc,etc,etc. He ain't going nowhere.
I vividly remember arguing on-line with folks about the Fisher hire in '12. Folks talking about how he's such a mediocrity and I'm like, "Mediocrity? Bring it..."
The only requirement I had for him was to make them competitive. I'd hoped he could turn the corner and start having some winning seasons but relative to what came before him, my lord what an upgrade!
Yeah, back then 7-9 sounded like the promise land and God forbid, 8-8. His first year was his best year at 7-8-1 and I remember thinking, Wow! Sadly, the Rams never evolved from that and in fairness the bad look at QB combined with never hiring a real Offensive Coordinator sealed Montana Man's fate and now Fisher can focus on, well, fishing.
Loserhan and Spitnuolo were equally bad.
Spitnuolo had the worse records and took down the photos of the GSOT because he was a narcissistic fuckface.
Loserhan had the worst drafts I've ever seen. I wasn't even eighteen, and I could probably have picked better than him. Oh, and every player was pissed at him.
I laughed at the fake interview, but my fate, I'm so glad that we have McSnead.

Maybe not the promised land but it was definite progress and a first step towards more. And he accomplished it in-spades with that first year. And it was the necessary first step...sadly he couldn't take the next one.

Linehan? My goodness... Fuck me dead.
Spags? Bye bye lil guy.
Fisher? Rob Boras was the worst decision he EVER made. That man made Linehan look like Mad Mike in his prime.
MCSLAY? Forever.

How bad were Linehan and S;pagnuolo? Fisher was better than both of them combined.
This can't be real! Is thos really real?! Can't be? If it is.......
Hell, I'm speechless.
And he went 8-8, two games better than the previous season. The peak of TGSOT was 2001. They were 5 years past their peak and had very little talent left. Ike, Holt, Pace and Bulger with a young SJ. On defense? Little?
Any room to add Rich Brooks in here? I couldn't stand him either!
I could hardly take those days as well, but always felt it always started at the top (ownership/GM). Makes me SO grateful for what we have now; a real organization.
HE WITH HORNS
Hall of Fame
Only 3 or 4 hall of famers there, I mean, with shit talent like that, it's amazing he didn't go 0-16. . . .
They say the memory is the first thing to go!!!! HOFer Pace played a whopping 8 games in 2006, 1 in 2007. HOFer Ike played 13 in 2006, 12 in 2007 and was in SF by 2008. And that was it for the HOFers on that 2006 squad. Torry's knees were bone on bone and he was in Jax by 2009. Timmerman played 13 games in 2006, his last year in the NFL. Like I said, they were 5 years past their peak as a team, individually, some less than that as a HOF player but they did manage to go 8-8 in 2006, so there's that. The one star who still had something left in the tank was Big Game, but not for long. It's amazing how some fans hold onto memories instead of realizing reality. They just didn't have much talent in 2006 on.
