Put Alabama in and call it a day. .

Not that I disagree with you, but the one year the committee chose to put Ohio State in, they won the national championship. Now again I agree, but Alabama's strength of schedule sucks IMO, they need to play better teams than Mercer. Agreed on Florida State, but they lost to Auburn, who is not in the top four and Ohio State lost to Oklahoma who is number 2, However, the loss at Iowa and not beating Wisconsin by a sizeable margin is why I believe Alabama gets the nod.

As to rooting for Alabama over Clemson, shame....Alabama is like rooting for the former Soviet Union IMHO. If the committee selects Alabama, go Tigers!

I don't like this game - it feels too easy.

Let's hope the Rams players and coaches don't share that feeling.

Adrian Peterson expected to miss Sunday’s game
Posted by Josh Alper on December 3, 2017

Running back Adrian Peterson played a big role for the Cardinals in last Sunday’s victory over the Jaguars, but it looks like they will have to look elsewhere for offensive help this week.

Peterson was listed as questionable on Friday due to a neck injury that kept him from practicing all week. That lack of work suggested he was unlikely to wind up on the right side of a game-time decision and that’s how things are shaping up.

According to multiple reports, the Cardinals expect to be without Peterson against the Rams. A final decision will come after a pre-game workout, but there’s not optimism that it will go well enough for Peterson to play.

Kerwynn Williams has been dealing with a rib injury, but is set to play on Sunday. D.J. Foster, Bronson Hill and Elijhaa Penny are the other backfield options on the active roster.

They should have WiFi on the plane, so you could listen to the game on http://kspn.radio.net/
Don't use the ESPNLA link, cuz they can't broadcast off that one for some reason.

Explain the watermelon thing

It was started by a few dudes in the mid 80s. No apparent reason. Just something to do I guess.

http://www.latimes.com/sports/rams/la-sp-rams-melonheads-erskine-20160803-snap-story.html

This is what love looks like: three grown men wearing three grown watermelons. As headgear, I think the watermelon is unsurpassed. It is also an unrivaled expression of ardor, devotion and an unquenchable will to succeed. Remember the Melonheads? Of course you do, just as you remember the Alamo, or where you were when the Dodgers dumped Robinson, Piazza and Puig.

Sure, roses are effective and – as public spectacle goes – a coconut bra speaks volumes. But there is nothing like donning this whimsical helmet as a way to say the things you’re carrying around in your soft swollen heart.

Once you’ve seen a Melonhead, you’ll never forget. The Melonheads are part of Rams lore, dating to the early ‘80s. Just as Cleveland has its Dawg Pound and Green Bay has its cheddar chapeaus, Los Angeles has its merry band of Melonheads.

Elitists, always an icky lot, might think it moronic. Or they might point out that Saskatchewan Roughrider fans have also been wearing melon helmets for years. But, as there is room for Coke and Pepsi, and Christmas and Hanukkah, there is room for two devoted tribes of Melonheads. For two years, he did this alone. One man. One melon. One mensch out to change a small vital corner of the universe.
Goldberg found David Stanley. One thing led to another. Soon, they had a posse. By 1984, the end zone Melon Patch was born.

At full throttle, the Melonheads had a roster of 11. In their heyday, TV cameras would zoom in on their antics near the tunnel. The implication was that it was an absurdity, a social aberration, a desperate needy ploy. Yeah, so?

Goldberg insists the Melonheads were only out to stir up the crowd, never in search of fame or fortune.

Passing Rams players often shook their heads in disbelief; others embraced it.

Twice, fiery linebacker Kevin Greene took a melon from the fans, put it on his head and dashed into the tunnel, Goldberg says. “”He did that two different times. I used to say anyone can do it once.
But twice?

When the Rams moved to St. Louis, team President John Shaw even flew some of the Melonheads back to Missouri, in a bid for absolution, as a way to say the Rams had not forgotten the fans. Later, the Melonheads paid their own way to the Rams’ Super Bowl in Atlanta.

Yet, nothing could ever match the glory days in Anaheim. One game, John Madden got a look at them during a telecast and mocked their mental health. As any true wiseguys would, the Melonheads ran with it.

When Madden returned for his next game, they stole a barroom promotional cutout of the TV analyst, adorned it with a melon and dubbed their end zone section Madden’s Melon Patch. From that point on, Madden was a Melonhead.

I’m not much for following recipes, but Goldberg says the secret is to really scoop out all the sirloin, leaving a mostly rind helmet. That keeps the juices from running into your eyes and down your back, which on a hot day can be pleasant for a while, then not.

The lining can be critical. Goldberg, a Santa Monica painting contractor, uses newspaper (yet another important reason to subscribe). Others use shower caps or saran wrap. Results may vary.

“Everyone does it different,” Goldberg says.

Sound like your thing? Of course it is. The next generation of Melonheads is upon us – including Goldberg’s 4-year-old daughter, Sofia. Stanley, the first to join Goldberg, will be back for at least five games this season. Steven Pataki and Steve Goldstein are back as well.

“I think we’ll have about seven regulars this year,” Goldberg predicts. “Our record is 11. I expect to shatter that.”

“People always ask: ‘Why melons? What do melons have to do with the Rams?’

“And the answer is, nothing.”

Sometimes, nothing is enough.

You have your melon prepared?

 

[LARams_1963]

Working dayshift today. My biggest challenge is getting through the day till I get home at 6pm without hearing ANYTHING about the game. That way I can watch the recording as stressed out as the folks who watched it live!
