    White was Bentley’s teammate in Lafayette, and Bentley was Janoris Jenkins high school teammate. Two degrees of Janoris Jenkins, or whatever.

    That pass to Bailey in OT was silly good.

    On the PD boards I used to read a lot of complaints about Farr’s work on the radio. I think it was mostly posters who did not like him on one of the local daily sports talk shows. I don’t know about that because I’ve never listened to his shows, but as a Rams analyst he’s my favourite. I used to really like Jack Snow too, but Farr is good at identifying who is doing what, who’s doing their job and who’s not. He’s also a good homer when he needs to be, and sometimes I need that during a broadcast.

    That final play looked closer to 4th-and-1 than it did to 4th-and-2.

    I became a big Bradley Marquez fan today. Great block on Tavon’s PR and great coverage on KOs. Not to mention the great hands on the onside kick. Quite the debut for the UDFA.

    I don’t think so.

    I’m a big Cunningham fan. He’s a tough runner, but I don’t see how this inexperienced online can get things done against Seattle. I would expect the Hawks d-line to win their fair share of 1-on-1 matches up front. They can probably have a good day against the Rams rushing attack without crowding the box. Their secondary is still great even without Chancellor.

    I don’t know what the Rams D will do. At this point the secondary has done nothing to assuage my concerns about their propensity for giving up big plays. Hopefully Donald & Brockers can take advantage of the Hawks seemingly shaky interior o-line.

    Good health for each and every Ram. Some progress from the young o-line would be nice too.

    Hey Gopher fan! I live in Minnesota and watch/listen to the Gopher games. I agree with you that Cobb can be an excellent running back. The Gophers have a knack for producing quality RBs in the NFL.

    I’m just a “little” ways up the road from you along the north shore of Lake Superior. We visit the state frequently. I was in Tofte last week.

    When I was a kid our American TV feed came from Duluth. Now we get some Minneapolis channels. Lots of Vikings fans where I live. Anyway, I’ve always been a fan of Big Ten sports in general, but over the years I have followed the Gophers more closely. I love the Big Ten Network, I find it much more watchable than the NFL Network.

    Anyway, Cobb was a beast last year. They used him a lot, but I hope his relative lack of touches in his previous years allows him to have a productive NFL career.

    Is David Cobb the real deal?

    As a fan of the Gophers I carry a bias on this one, but I think Cobb will be great. I’m excited to see him play. Obviously I am more excited about seeing Gurley play someday, but the Titans got a real gem in Cobb.

    Aside from that I’d like to see good health for the Rams.

    Liked what I’ve seen so far from undrafted rookie Imoan Claiborne. Doesn’t have elite speed, but good ball skills. Couple INTs Sunday.

    Well, I like reading that. He was one of the UDFAs that I was intrigued by when he signed. Lots of young talent in the secondary. It would be nice if the guys back there could cobble together a solid season. I would think that Brandon McGee should be feeling some pressure.

    At our old house one of those crow bastards was able to unlatch and remove the lid on our garbage can and get into our garbage. I had to resort to strapping the lid down with a bungee cord. If we hadn’t moved I’m sure that jackass would have figured out how to remove the bungee cord. In fact I bet the crow is googling me in an attempt to find where I am right now.

    I’m lousy at this type of thing. With the oline looking so young and inexperienced at this point I think the offense is going to get off to a slow start. I’m still not a big believer in the defensive secondary at this point either.

    should read more of his books. I loved “Into Thin Air.” He really brought you to that mountain and those horrible events. It’s the closest I’ll get to experiencing anything like that. Even if I had the money and time to try it, I wouldn’t.

    I was blown away by “Into Thin Air.” Like you, I have zero interest in trying climbing. I didn’t even think that reading about it would be all that interesting. However, after reading ITA I read every climbing book I could find. I also made a point of picking up a new Krakauer books whenever I saw one. His topics have been wide ranging, from Pat Tillman to the history of Mormonism. For me each book has been difficult to put down.

    Speaking of the justice system, I read Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a Small Town by Jon Krakauer. I think that I’ve read most of Krakauer’s books. They always come across as being so well researched. However, his targets aren’t always given a chance to defend themselves. Anyway, as always Krakauer had me engrossed throughout. As the title implies it is not a plesent book, but it opened my eyes in many ways.

    Here’s a link to a brief article that covers Krakauer’s visit to Missoula to give critics an opportunity to confront him.

    You were the one that interjected the word ‘debate’ into this thread. You did so twice. You also did so early in the thread while I was responding to TSRF. A few months ago a gunman killed a canadian soldier then ran into the Canadian parliament right past the room in which the prime minister was in attendance. So much for saner canadian gun control.

    No one in Canada would ever argue that our gun laws prevent all gun violence carried out by the insane. We know that there are ways that people with bad intentions can get guns. That said, the vast majority of us are comfortable in the knowledge that our laws mean such incidences happen less frequently here than down south.

    If they could come up with some kind of deal that allows them to back out after 2-3 seasons without a major impact on the cap that’d be a wise move, I would think. I’m not making any bets about Foles being the savior under centre, but I doubt that the Rams will be a position to get the next Andrew Luck in the near future. I’m pretty sure that Foles will be better than Austin Davis, and confident that Keenum won’t be a threat either. Maybe Mannion develops into something over the next few seasons though. So coming up with something that keeps Foles around for a couple of seasons for sure would be a good idea.

    We used to get our American TV feed out of Duluth, MN. Lots of Vikings games every season. One time in ’77, the Vikings were playing the Rams. I saw the glorious horns the Rams had on their helmets, and I knew that it was good. Turns out it was the Mud Bowl. A learned how to handle disappointment right out of the gate.
