joemadParticipantRams beat a really good team today.
4 picks against a good QB who is having a great season with great WRs to throw to.
D played good….
BTW, I hope Punter Ethan gets a game ball……. his punt was huge.

joemadParticipantSolution to the kicking game…
joemadParticipantI was in chat with JoeMad, who was on his phone live at the game. That was nice. First time that has happened.
Rams dominer-ated.
Stafford with gaudy numbers, Wms over 100 rushing.
Yes, that was cool… the chat app is simple and convenient to use.
Need to win this Sunday
joemadParticipant49ers at Texans… for the 2nd week in a row, 49ers face a team on a short week.
Aaron Rodgers facing his old team in Pittsburgh… that should be fun to watch….
3rd free Sunday in a row for Rams fans…..i know they played last Sunday, but the west coast 6:30 AM kick off last week left our Sunday wide open.
No EURO games this week for anyone in the NFL….
October 22, 2025 at 2:30 pm in reply to: around the league week 7 stuff, including games & aftermaths #158849joemadParticipantGood week VII thread…
Mahomes vs Geno……. the Raiders stink…
Broncos erase Giants lead in the 4th… Cardinals blew it against GB too…
Colts are for real… they beat the shit out of a pretty good Charger team.
Jim Otto’s Burger King….. yes, the “00” Raider shrine off hwy 80 in Auburn… IMO, The Whopper is the most underrated fast-food burger.
joemadParticipantWeird road win in Baltimore on the way to Europe…
I’ll take it.
joemadParticipantRams at Ravens is the freaking Tom Brady game of the week on FOX this Sunday.
We get DalASS at Carolina?
The Rams have yet to be on local TV for a Sunday game in the SF Bay Area this season.
Most people got Rams at Philly and we got Raiders at Wash
Rams at Tennessee we got Carolina at AZ.
PANTHERS have been on local TV more times than the Rams.
What is up with FOX, CBS and the NFL TV MAPS????
VOTE YES ON PROP 50… LET’s REDISTRICT THESE NFL TVMAPS!!
I’m sure Kronke is aware of this. Everything north of Santa Clarita is Ninerville… Rams marketing folks need to change that and get Ram games shown in most of California.
joemadParticipantI watched the Ravens too…Their defense stinks today
A lot of early shitty games
Giants / Saints is the tightest game
This is a good Sunday for yard work…
joemadParticipantBosa, Kittle, Aiyuke, Jennings, etc… they missed key impact people.
But Mac Jones is a good qb in Shanahan’s offense… this Niner offense looked like shit last week against JAX with Purdy… Mac Jones was sharp yesterday.. and he delivered with a game winning drive vs AZ 2 weeks ago…
For some reason, Shannan and Saleh know how the prep for and crack McVay.
WV, a lot of shitty regular season loses… that same 1989 year against the Bills. Everett rallies late to take lead only to lose it in the last minute.
99 against Gus Ferrelotte and the Lions.
Everrett’s first game against the Pats in 86 only to lose on a stunning Hail Mary from Tony Eason…. and in Philly 2 weeks ago… all regular season heartbreakers….
YOU REMEMBER THE LOSSES MORESO THAN THE WINS…
FUCKING RAMS! I love them!!!
joemadParticipantWV
1989 vs SF MNF
That loss was worse.
The Rams fumbled on the goal line, missed an FG, allowed two 80+ yard TD passes and blew a 17 point lead in Anaheim.
That loss cost the RAMS HFA in the 1989 playoffs resulting in the phantom sack in Candlestick that spiraled the Rams into 1990’s oblivion and off to STL.
joemadParticipantShanahan is now 11-7 vs McVay.
Rams came out flat footed…..Shanahan dominated the first half with scrubs at the skill positions that the Rams left wide open.
Rams could be undefeated if the kicking game would execute.
Better team didn’t win, but perhaps the better coaching staff did.
joemadParticipantYes, I watched it.
Cards lose for the 2nd week in a row by walk off FG
Wish the Rams did it last week.
Next Thursday Night SF at LA
joemadParticipantIt’s a shame the blocked kicks happened because special teams actually played really good….
Knuckle ball lob kick-offs that Philly never really figured out.. but after 4 successful FGs that resulted in 12 points, the Eagles figured out how to block them.
Rams should’ve blown em out in the first half… if only the drives resulted in TD’s instead of FG’s.
Can’t wait for the playoff rematch, because the better team didn’t win today.
Rams are very good and will only get better.
A good Colts team in LA next week..
McVay will have them ready.
September 18, 2025 at 1:18 am in reply to: setting up “E-gals” game–roster stuff, injuries, comments, broadcast map #158086joemadParticipantA few months ago Ken Jennings announced the Final Jeopardy clue prior to commercial break…..”NFL STATES”
I turn to my wife and say “I’d bet it all” for the Final Jeopardy question. “I can nail this”..
The Final Jeopardy question was…. “Which NFL state has the least population density?”
Nobody got the question correct. I guessed Colts, (Indiana) my wife guessed Green Bay Wisconsin) none of the Jeopardy contestants guessed the correct answer.
It was Nevada… the fucking LV Raiders.
We get the Fucking Raiders @ The National Guard Commanders instead of the Rams at Eagles…
Who is scheduling these TV Maps?
Last week we got Panthers at Cards
Kronke has to fight for California TV share…
You’re right Zooey, I am pissed again!
September 11, 2025 at 2:53 am in reply to: setting up the Titans game, w/ injury reports & previews & broadcast map #157942joemadParticipantThat TV map sucks for the 2nd week in a row.
I guess the 49ers don’t want the Rams game to be televised at the same time (as their SF @ NO game)in the SF bay area.
Thus, we get the low game on the totem pole from CBS….. Carolina at Arizona….in the afternoon… that’s fucking ridiculous…
joemadParticipantThe Rams beat a good team yesterday…
Close game, very evenly matched except for 3rd down conversions.
Rams 7 for 15 on 3rd downs
Texans 2 for 9.
On to Tennessee.

September 5, 2025 at 6:21 pm in reply to: Texans at Rams, 9/7, 4:25 et 1:25 pt … w/ broadcast map #157811joemadParticipantGreg Cosell is awesome. he loves the Rams front 4 and Stroud took the most 3rd down sacks last season.
I’m sure Shula’s game plan will account for this.
September 3, 2025 at 3:41 pm in reply to: Texans at Rams, 9/7, 4:25 et 1:25 pt … w/ broadcast map #157779joemadParticipantRams need to avoid another slow start to the season.
Rams were 2-5 in the last two Septembers of football (2023 and 2024).
The slow start last year cost them HFA in the playoffs with a brutal loss in the cold Philly snow… the better team didn’t win that game. Could’ve easily got to the Super Bowl….
Need a good start to the season…but who knows? The last time the Rams had a winning September, they finished the season 5-12 in the Super Bowl hangover 2022 season…..
BTW too much red on the TV Map!
GO RAMS!

This is the BEST uniform in the history of the NFL and somehow the Rams fucked it up.so true, Rams went Cracker Barrel on us.
joemadParticipanteveryone talking about the 4th qtr drive… but watch the last play of the 3rd qtr….. Bennet’s TD pass to Mario Williams was sweet…..he also had a nice play action toss to rookie WR Brannon Presley to set up that TD drive in the 3rd qtr.
Bennett looking comfortable and very agile in 8 straight qtrs of preseason play against scrubs.
joemadParticipanti was looking forward to this American Underdog Kurt Warner movie. It was a big letdown.
I love sports movies, i can rewatch some of these movies over and over….. Invisible, (Vince Paple Movie) Heaven Can Wait, Rudy, Hoosiers, Any Given Sunday, The Wrestler, Raging Bull etc……. and my all-time favorite, The Bad News Bears…
American Underdog was flat, no memorable scenes nor good characters…
My favorite scene from Invincible, specifically, the sports interview youtube link below:
joemadParticipantI heard historian Roy Casagranda (who i listen to a lot) say this:
“In 1973, the top 1 percent had 8 percent of the wealth, today the top 1 percent makes 40 percent of the wealth…and then the next 15 percent make another 40, so the top 16 percent of amerika make 80 percent of the wealth…”w
vCasagranda is my hero…… America peaked in 1973.
joemadParticipant“Horses can be a positive and approachable symbol of law enforcement, fostering trust and engagement with the public.”
joemadParticipantPro-grid link… that is cool. https://www.progrid.org/2025
interesting…. no bye week for the Rams before or after the trip to London.. …. i guess it’s a direct flight from Dulles Airport to Hearthrow Airport after the Ravens game in week 6…….. Then a 14-hour flight back from London to LA to host the Saints all before their bye week…
that’s some serious frequent flyer miles
joemadParticipantThe Vikings have back-to-back games in London?! I did not know that was supposed to happen.
Irish Celtics and Londoners would be ticked with this comment. London and Dublin are as different as Toronto is to NY.
BTW, the Vikings should play their Euro games in a Scandinavian country….
joemadParticipantyes indeed,…. , Seahawk podcaster reaction “I hate the Rams”………”Falcons can blow me” “In no universe that is a good trade”
funny stuff…
April 25, 2025 at 2:09 pm in reply to: At 26 the Rams 1st round pick is…a trade out with Atlanta #156051joemadParticipantRams making deals with Raheem Morris in the ATL… Magic Beans indeed!
joemadParticipantthis professor’s lecture on Chernobyl matches the events/timeline from the HBO series (Chernobyl)…
i think HBO should do a series that captures the events for 3-mile island….
“back in the 70’s, we watched the news, a game show, then Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley” … lol….this prof nailed it… the first 2 seasons of Happy Days are underrated.
“”GE owned the NBC Peacock and snuffed the 3 mile island story””, but nobody watched David Brinkley on NBC anyway, because no good comedy shows to segway into after the evening news hour….. other than CPO Sharkey and Sanford and Son, NBC sitcoms sucked back then…
joemadParticipantDid my Harley Davidson example throw a wet blanket on this thread?
I think it’s timely for an import duty discussion.
The Harley Davidson example was specific to a US scope of products, industry, and company that had plans in place to address the trade imbalance with the Japanese imported sport bikes. e.g., Harley’s US business was not sustainable in the early 1980’s without the help of increasing import duty on Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki et al…….
Trump is shot gunning import duty on everyone and everything outside the US with no real plan on what alternative sources to source or build US versions of these impacted imports. … .. .
the question is why is he placing an import tax on everything?
