“We’ve seen a lot of teams put a lot of players together and say we have an All-Star team, but those players don’t fit. So can Wade Phillips and McVay get the chemistry right with all those guys?”

New MNF play-by-play voice Joe Tessitore said the new team will visit the Rams ahead of their opener, which is Rams at Raiders: “Personally, I know we’ve talked about this as a group. We are very, very excited for that opener.” @DowntownRams @CVRamsClub

”The Rams… have been the offseason buzz team with what they accomplished in free agency with the win-now attitude. Got a dynamic young quarterback, obviously got the all-pros all over the place everywhere you look, especially now with the additions on defense at CB and DL.”

“What a lot of people would say, an offensive mastermind in coach McVay. Being a receiver, why wouldn’t you want to be around somebody that’s hungry? You see it from a distance, (somebody who’s) shaping and molding his players into great players.” – @brandincooks on Sean McVay

“And look, man, not to many people can say they went first round three times.” -@brandincooks with maybe the line of the series so far. Stockton native was drafted No. 20 overall by Saints in 2014, traded for No. 32 to New England in 2017 and No. 23 overall to LA in 2018. #larbtg

“I was real proud of your effort this past year. You did a great job.” – Rams Hall of Fame OT Jackie Slater to @JaredGoff16 #larbtg

Listening to the #Cowboys Day 3 press conference. They call Tavon Austin a “web back” and want to get him the ball “a dozen to two dozen” times per game, plus return game on top of that.

12 to 24 times. Per. Game.

The sexual assault allegations that surfaced against Matt Patricia are murky, but did the Lions really mention that he was “21 at the time and on spring break” in their statement

I had to listen 3 times to make sure I heard that correctly.

So the Rams will be spending four days in suburban Owings Mills, Maryland, which is approximately 15 miles northwest of Hamsterdam. Local attractions include a Walmart, an Olive Garden and a demolished mall.

In a matter of nine months, the Rams’ Super Bowl odds went from 150-1 to 9-1. It remains amazing.

The #NFL leaving National Anthem protocol to individual teams seems like a mistake in the making. It’s time to come up with a league-wide policy: Keep players in the locker room during the Anthem.

@kdemoff: “We have spent the year educating them on our fan base [ie. regarding uniforms],” Demoff said of the NFL. “We forwarded them all of the fan complaints, the emails we get, so I think they’re well aware of our fans’ preferences.
