Stafford for MVP


Nate is no Jourdan but he's rounding into form. Nice insights sprinkled in this article.

Lots of talk last night on socials about Stafford being in convo for MVP. He absolutely should be and if he keeps up this play there's no reason he's not top 2 options right now.

Playoffs(???) and the remaining NFC gauntlet schedule

Alright, we've swept the AFC and just played our easiest NFC game. We're 1-2 in the NFC and every game here on out has a direct impact on our playoff picture. We have 5 division games remaining and the two division leaders of the NFC North and NFC South. The next 4 games will truly let us know how we stack up against the best of the NFC.

I'd say the three games I've highlighted are must wins if we want to avoid a low playoff seed. We have to beat the niners to win the division, and the other two have head-to-head tie breaker implications. At least splitting Seattle is a must. I will be ecstatic if we win the next three.

Rams Identity

During the Super Bowl season.. the Rams were kinda all over the place for a while.. trying to figure out who they were and what they were doing. It took until December of that year against the Cards for them to really figure it out, imo.

We're getting it on November 2nd this year.

The offensive line is healthy and gelling. The Rams have 4 legit tight ends and McVay is now leaning into that roster strength to diversify his offense in ways not seen in years.
The running game continues to be solid, if unspectacular. Corum is getting closer and closer to really breaking one.
Puka and Davante are excellent WRs... just excellent. And Stafford and Adams have seemingly figured some things out.. making red zone issues, hopefully, a thing of the past.
Stafford is just absolutely balling. A master of all they are doing.

The defense is in year 2 under Shula and just continues to build. It is a multiple.. tough defense with players who are still ascending. They mix up coverages a ton because they've been a unit for a good chunk of games.. that stuff is priceless.

They know who they are and what they want to do on both sides of the ball.

Of course... the kicking thing needs to be worked out... or it could really cost the team later in the season.

One more thing about the Rams and their on-field identity... what's different about the situation, as a whole... is that the Rams have built this up a little differently than last time. This is a SUSTAINABLE... long-term situation with Snead and McVay. Getting a QB to replace Stafford will absolutely be a challenge.. but they've build up resources to make it possible to make a move when needed.

Just a fun organization right now.

YoutubeTV vs Disney Dispute


I launched YouTubeTV today to watch some college football. I finally have a slow Saturday and I was looking forward to watching the Texas vs Vanderbilt game to see if Arch is still improving.

Quickly discovered a very, very small slate of games available, and thought, what the fuckin' fuck???

Above article tells the story.

The situation sucks. YouTubeTV is expensive enough. I think I'm held hostage with it in order to keep watching Rams games. Maybe I can dial back the plan if more programming pulls out. Need to look up the minimum bundle in order to keep the Sunday Ticket. Honestly, I was so excited beginning of year when my Sunday Ticket auto renewed, I forgot to see what the heck I paid for it.

I digress.....moving on, we do also have Disney+. So I switched over to that app, and realize my current bundle has ESPN Select instead of ESPN Unlimited - - meaning, I don't get the live ESPN Channels. Need to pony up another $12 a month. (insert more profanity of your choice here....)

I'm not seeing a resolution coming on this for ESPN and ABC Channels to return to YoutubeTV.

How many subscriptions do you have to have these days to make sure you don't miss a live football game? FUCKITY FUCK FUCK.
Go Rams.

UCLA wants to move their home games to SoFi Stadium

I saw yesterday , that the city of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl filed a lawsuit against UCLA to keep them from moving

then I saw last night , that UCLA said , hos can Pasadena file a lawsuit against something that hasn't even happened

just my guess here , but I'd guess that Pasadena had enough information that the discussions had taken place and gone far enough to warrant a lawsuit

[www.latimes.com]

this is just my thoughts now , but I can see both sides

UCLA did sign a extension all the way through 2044 , and the city of Pasadena agreed to upgrade the Rose Bowl , with the understanding would remain tenants , but just how many of those upgrades were based on UCLA alone , I have no idea

and now for UCLA's side , they signed that extension way back in 2014

if someone in 2014 have told you , UCLA would no longer even be in the Pac 12 , of have to pay 20 million dollars in NIL funds to student athletes every year who have even been at your universities for years , you would have asked them what they were smoking

but when it comes to college sports , we live in a whole nuther world

I'm sure when UCLA signed that contract , they could have never envisioned a world were they would travel to Maryland for a conference softball game

something to keep an eye one , one days the Bruins locker room might be right next to the Rams

Moving to Florida

My wife got a Job recently at John Hopkins in St Petes. I know a few of you live in Florida and I have met some of you at tailgates. Any advice? Lived in Arkansas all my life. She starts June 30th and is already down there staying with her parents now. I am trying to sell the house and then I will be right behind her... But I don't have a Job waiting on me so I have no clue what I'm going to be doing. Kinda scary and exciting at the same time. I do know I love deep sea fishing so I'll get to do plenty of that from now on!

What success/value is a 6th or 7th round pick?

Today's Athletic newsletter has interesting information about this subject.

Summary - past 5 years, a mere 3% of the 397 players drafted in the 6th/7th have any particular value = 11 players. Only 2 in the past two years -- and the one cited with the most success from 2024 is Beaux Limmer, who has faded badly.
So - these trades for 6-7 picks are a major reach.
2022 stands out with Purdy, Pacheco and Rasheed Walker.
2021 had Trey Smith.
I didn't see anyone else of value.
The rest of the article has a lot of good stuff about draft history.

Rams Pulled Off The HEIST OF THE YEAR

This is from a YouTube channel I never saw before but for the information provided, I find it very interesting.

He talks about the McCreary trade and how it pans out. It is a simplified explanation but one I think we can all understand.

The NBA (And how it has changed)

I don't know if it's me but the NBA has been terribly boring the last 10 years where I just can't watch it any more..... even my beloved Lakers.

It kind a reminds me how basketball is played in Europe...... lots of flopping, three guys standing around the three point line waving their arms for the ball, and one guy dribbling the ball around for 15 seconds.

I still haven't got used to the zone defense in pros.... to me that is so high school, and all the touch fouls that are now called.... I really miss the old school NBA style of play.
