From overall perspective, how do you all feel about the Rams and the media?

1. Ms Dani K: It's clear that Dani is very attractive. I'm a happily married man and when I see her, I have to make sure my thoughts are pure lol. As a reporter, I feel like she does a very good job. Again, she is easy on the eyes as we know. But, I feel like she enunciates well, her transitions between questions are smooth, she is short and direct to the point, and she seems that she is just a joy to be around. I am glad that the Rams have her as the "front man ".

2. Miles: This guy drives me absolutely up the wall. First, it seems like he tries so hard to be a perfectionist and how he explains anything that he thinks. His phrases are so long gated due to the fact that the words that he speaks are so spread out when presenting a sentence. He overenunciate's unlike Dani which again makes it seem like he is trying to persuade you. His voice sounds robotic and mono tone which completely compensates the previous two statements. Not that I've stared at the guy, but because I have to when the camera is on him, he is small and lanky in size and has a cheesy smile. I am not one to comment on how people look, but when you are on camera and representing an organization, and presenting news, I would think that the qualities that Miles has will not fit the bill. JMO

*I prefer more DFarr than Miles for sure

3. Website: Overall, I can definitely see some improvement in the website since the Rams have moved from St. Louis to LA. There is definitely been a turnover of staff, or the budget has been increased to help boost the material and the quality with the St Louis staff still in place. I am purely speculating, but it is clear that the website looks and operates better IMO.

4. Material: I feel like there has been an increase in material overall as well. It is pobably do to the fact that we have a new regime in place along with new employees in all aspects of anything Rams. The only thing I wish coupd be done better is that the videos would be longer with more highlights. I definitely understand that you can't show too much due to game planning and things of that nature, but it doesn't hurt to see more clips of players making plays. I also wish that the one on one interviews would be a little bit longer as well. It will be cool to get to know some of the players personally without them having to spill all the beans of their life.

Just a few thoughts of mine, feel free to chime in.

I want training camp streaming on the internet. It's 2017 - I can see just about anything I want streaming on the internet but I can't get a camera going at practice? I have to settle for some fan with his cell phone on periscope - I want some production value.

Also - the press conferences - for the love of all things holy how can they not understand that the viewers cannot hear any of the questions? Answers are loud and clear but can we not get a Mike down in the press pool?

@JRobinson When my son and I flew down to training camp last month, I noticed her sitting at her booth. I said, "Hey Kluppy, how's it going?" She at first looked like "who's this?" but after I quickly told her I just flew down from her home town Portland she warmed up and started to chat.

She walked up to the fence and talked with us for about 5 minutes. I actually told her the same thing you just said. I told her she was real, not a fake personality and that I appreciated it. She posed for a picture with my son too. She was very down to earth. After all she's a simple country girl from a large piece of farm land outside of Portland.

Nice person. And yes, not ugly by any means :)

Well to your first request, there are quite a few legal issues that play a role in the live streaming. The second, I completely agree man. I don't know why they don't think of that! Placing audio in video is super easy, along with enhancing audio.

If they're going to allow SpamBots to run free in the comment sections, why bother having comment sections?

1) I think Dani is great, hope she doesn't hold out for Donald money.

2) Miles is nerdish, but he's fine by me and knows his stuff. Farr is always good.

3) I wish they had more programming and asked tougher questions, especially the coaches about player injuries, although they are likely told ahead of time about what is off-limits.

4) Agree, there is no limit to what information that Rams Fans want, just give us more. And after that, more again !

1. Dani = :love:

2. Miles is decent, he seems like a good guy.

3. Website has been fine for a while. I wish they would bring back desktop wallpapers though.

4. The only complaint I have is stop making material so damn celebrity focused. Yeah I get it to a certain extent considering it's LA, but how about some common fan love? The Texans do a great job at this, they do the best to make it about the everyday fan.

Miles is a nerd, yeah, and 20 years ago he'd be the guy gettin his head flushed in the toilet at recess. But if you look beyond that nerdy exterior he does his job well. He's active on twitter with the fan base. He even tries to do the board analysis which sometimes is kinda funny but I always enjoy watching it.

Demarco is great with Miles too, because I love the way he gives him a hard time. It's a cool dynamic. And he's my favorite of course not only because he played for our team but because he's a Rams homer still. Just like with Faulk that stuff matters to me.

Dani has gotten better and better. She is definitely genuine and like with Miles I enjoy everything they produce. She also has a knack for getting players to open up a bit which is not something all the media types have.

I'd say our media team is top notch, tbh. I enjoy it, just wish they'd keep pushing more content. More is always better IMO. Don't settle on what teams at large do, or what used to be the norm. Just get more out there on the site and set a new bar.

I'm suggesting the Rams live stream it themselves- not some bootleg. The cowboys do it.

Dani, great gal and I enjoy her presence and comments.
Miles, I really like him. Kinda nerdy, but a sweet kid.
Demarco, another great guy. Love him. Sometimes I hear in my head him saying "Proehl??????????" from the time he was describing the shocking catch that beat the Bucs in the NFC Championship.

I can echo these same sentiments but let me add this:

I had a long chat with Miles at camp. Very nice young man. Get past his looks on camera, he tonal quality and his delivery. He loves this sport and this team and gives it his all. I at first didn't like him on screen too much but after talking with him, a whole new world of respect for the man. I really do like his engagement with the fans on Twitter.

Dani on the other hand has been most gracious but she does seem to keep her distance from the crowd. Never heard back from her on Twitter either. My heart was broken that day.

Well, there's always next years training camp.

You have to see her at the correct angle....I don't prefer her look....however, one show I saw her, and her make up and angle fixed everything, and I was shocked--meaning she looked great' however all the pics and other media show as having a not so elegant nose, but who knows, you only use it for some blows.....who am I to judge a 25 year old?...ya, your are right, who am I!

I couldn't agree with you more here @12intheBox - live streaming would be great for me (being based in the UK). All of you ROD members that go to TC make a great job of being my eyes and ears, but I sure would love to watch it online.

The press conferences: This has been my bug bear for ages, it's so basic, if they don't want a roaming mike then get the question up as yet on the screen when it's being asked. but it wouldn't hurt to have a camera and mic pointed the journalists so that you can get some simple editing done - its not rocket science...

She's alright. Slight improvement over Casey Phillips I guess.
