Seems like some good rule changes, except declaring an onside kick still sucks and they need to chill out on the celebration penalties, like the screwed one we got yesterday against the cowboys.

I wonder whether or not McVay will let teams return kicks this year. The 35 is damn good field position.

Yeah that "taunting" call on the Rams was pretty BS. I think it was on #30 Wallace. He "stood over the guy" for less than a second. Gonna be flags all over the place if they call it that tight.

It was on Wallace, and it was one of the most ridiculous "taunting" calls I've ever seen. Standing over the receiver for less than a second after he planted him with a big hit. Oh, the horror! Think of the children! People playing a physical game showing their emotions for less than a second is something we absolutely can't have, and Wallace should've been kicked out of the league, be forced to forfeit all of his money, and thrown in prison for standing over that poor, defenseless receiver for less than a second!

Please note that the blue font is as caustically sarcastic as I can make it.

Since I know you have excellent writing abilities, I think you held back a little.

Ease up on yourself dude!! Just glad & appreciate your post. Going to check it out, but what’s your feedback from it?

I see from some about the unsportsmanlike conduct .The way it’s interpreted could be worse than the rule.

IMO - I’d rather The Refs call it TIGHT NOW instead of during the season,& especially in the playoffs when it counts even more.

Last season I saw how they PI is in place which has evolved over the years.We can go back to 2018 play no call. The replay which was cray cray. Now(last at) they let the hand battle of running with a WR.You still have holding which is a fine line & then PI.Which means they allow a little contact & allows the DB to go after the football as well.

Yes, especially when you risk not reaching the 35 or getting a holding or block in the back penalty,.

I hate that rule. Two first downs and you’re in FG range.

 

[Londoner]

Two first downs and you’re in FG range.

One, if you've got Cam Little.

Good job the Jags suck, and aren't likely to get the first down.

All I ask for is consistency. If its a penalty one play but not on another one that's not good. Inconsistencies will piss off both teams. Just like umps. Its fine to call strikes just a little off the plate if that's their zone and they are consistent with it. But changing from inning to inning just pisses off hitters and pitchers both.

Worked a lot of sports,so in BB it’s taught to remember calls on 50/50 plays.If you or your partner make a call one way on a similar players.Make sure your not screwing the same team twice.
-It’s part of game management as well.Makes it easier to talk to the coaches.What can they complain about. - Still there’s all it as you see it.No phantom calls either.

Whadup G-man!!!

Doing good and months from retirement ready to follow you to Florida!

We bought a house in Margaritaville Watersound in the panhandle and we were there working on it this week. We were just talking about you and the L-wife two days ago and that I needed to touch base with you. I am going to need to consult you for my personalized Florida License plate. You nailed it.

Hope all is well with you and Loree and miss you at the games. Damn was that fun! Don't forget to tip the driver!

Give our best to Loree!

Thanks for the shout out!

GO RAMS!!!

Fantastic and well earned retirement Brother!! So glad you guys are making the jump here and Hopefully we will be able to visit soon! My brother just sold his house in Palmdale and is making the move to Lakeland FL area. Many of us Californians making the break out move!! Tell M that we miss y’all and talk about you both often!! Gonna have to meet up for a game at Raymond James!!!

 

[SWAdude]

A game at Raymond James would be epic! If we could drag @Selassie I and the K-wife into his forbidden land that would be a great time. Maybe one or two of his awesome sons as well.

Tough to leave my home state but like many, not a retirement friendly place anymore. Or in many ways just not friendly. What a great ride it has been!

Hope to see you sooner than later my brother!

Melissa sends her best as we do to the L-wife.

Man... now I'm looking forward to the next game at Ray-J ! Even though I have only missed a few since 1979 there (Rams games that is), I normally kind of dread being surrounded by those heathen Tampon fans. That changed only when we had our first ROD Tailgate there like 15 years ago. Having you guys included now will be kickass.

Both of my Ram Fan sons never miss a game there. The one you haven't met just got engaged to his longtime girlfriend who is a Tampon fan (her Mom is too, her Dad is a Bengals fan but he goes)... they never miss a game there. His twin brother is a colts fan (I failed him somehow) so he only goes if it doesn't interfere with his colts game or his poon slaying.

Good luck on the move. Those Margaritaville communities are very nice. Too bad you didn't decide on the new one they built here in Orlando. The panhandle is 7 hours away on a good traffic day... so not just around the corner. Glad you guys got outta whiner area though! When will you guys be moving in?

Two out of three is still HOF numbers my friend. I could have become a Colts fan. Whew! That was close.

Good to hear you are game! I am imagine in retirement 7 hour drives is part of a road trip. Noooo problemo. I get the turnoff from other fanbases. The Bengals fan base can be pretty bad also. It would be a blast to walk proud with all into Tampon territory.

The Margaritaville community we will live in is often mistaken for the ones they have like Orlando which are VERY nice!!! Ours is one of three and they are huge retirement communities with the Buffett theme. Old people with young hearts. Incredible amenities.

We are aiming for the move next spring, early summer. Many moving parts with this one.

Happy to exit whiner country. Such asshole fans. Raider fans became nicer than those jerks.

We may not be around the corner but no longer across the country. A much better chance!

That's awesome Brudda. We are so happy for you two... CONGRATULATIONS! That's from both of us of course. I told the wife about it last night or this morning (old age memory, can't remember for sure) and we're excited for you guys.

Moving is a very difficult process to go through no matter what. We did it about 4 years ago after having lived in the place we never thought we'd leave after being there over 20 years. We moved less than 10 miles away and it was a chore... and we had movers LOL. It's the re-settling and turning the new place into your home that is stressful. Just remind yourself to be as patient as you can while you go through all of it. Things WILL come together. After 4 years being here it still kinda feels like we're not completely finished with the move. You can't rush it no matter how hard you try.

You guys always have a place to stay here in O-Town if you need it. We have lots of room and we thoroughly enjoy entertaining. It will probably be hard for you to want to leave your new Buffet Planet Lifestyle though. I know how cool those places are.

Anyway, sounds like you still have a while before the major move happens. We are looking forward to hanging with you two when the time finally comes. Keep us updated as you progress... and good luck with all of it!
