NFL films is great……. the music, the slo mo, the narrators (I always preferred Harry Kalas’s voice over John Facenda’s “Voice of God” on film narration)

Game of the Week
This is the NFL
This Week in NFL Football

As a kid in the 1970’s, I looked forward to fall Saturday afternoons to watch a 1 to 3 minute segment of Rams high lights on that show…. Brookshier and Summeral…. that was gold.

I sometimes binge on youtube watching the old 1970’s Games of the Week. no matter the team(s)

One of the first NFL Games of the Week I remember was the Colts vs Cowboys super bowl with the O’Brien FG…. they cut the audio when the game winning kick was made…..all you heard was the thump of the ball being kicked as it sailed in Slo Mo though the uprights…… the crowd gradually got louder while the Colts celebrated victory…. Coincidentally, my brother and I received that Tudor electric football game featuring that Super Bowl for Christmas in the early 70’s…..

but the football follies, I could do without… not so good…..

Damn if you do damn if you don’t…..

Kick the FG on the road in Detroit before halftime or go with inept redzone offense that happened in LA vs Buffalo where they can’t score a TD.

In Detroit, maybe Fish had a Chuck Knox Rams / Tom Dempsey Flashback from the 1976 Vikings playoff game and went for it in Detroit.

I think small bits of successful play calling will win those close games… Fish couldn’t do it, unless it’s against Seattle or Arizona or vs Harbaugh… other than that……Fisher’s coaching staff is like a shitty bullpen in baseball, his staff couldn’t close games…

not a fan of the white facemask….. i’m not sure how the gray facemask lost the vote…. must have been Russian interference. ….

LATIMES.COM

Sept. 10: INDIANAPOLIS, 1 p.m. PT, (Ch. 2, CBS) — The last time Colts quarterback Andrew Luck played in the Coliseum, he helped Stanford to a 56-48, triple-overtime victory over USC. Linebacker Akeem Ayers, cut by the Rams last year, plays for the Colts.

Sept. 17: WASHINGTON, 1:15 p.m., (Ch. 11, Fox) — New Rams coach Sean McVay, the Redskins’ former offensive coordinator, will entertain — and attempt to beat — old friends. Former Rams receiver Brian Quick signed with Washington.

Sept. 21: at San Francisco, 5:15 p.m., (NFL Network) — Jared Goff is on track to finally play in his home region after spending the 2016 opener at Levi’s Stadium inactive. McVay, at 31 the NFL’s youngest coach, goes up against the 49ers’ Kyle Shanahan, 37, the second youngest.

Oct. 1: at Dallas, 10 a.m., (Ch. 11) — The Rams play the Cowboys in August in their first preseason game and then travel to Jerry’s World in Week 4. Running back Lance Dunbar no doubt wants to make an impact against his old team.

Oct. 8: SEATTLE, 1, (Ch. 2) — Don’t count on a repeat of 2016, when the Rams defeated the Seahawks and a hobbled Russell Wilson at the Coliseum without scoring a touchdown. The Seahawks added running back Eddie Lacy in the offseason.

Oct. 15: at Jacksonville, 1 p.m., (Ch. 11) — Will the Jaguars have drafted a quarterback to replace Blake Bortles? The Rams will probably spend a few extra days in Florida before leaving for London.

Oct. 22: vs. Arizona Cardinals at London, 10 a.m. (Ch. 11) — The Rams are 0-2 in London, including last season’s loss against the New York Giants at Twickenham Stadium. This year’s later kickoff time will make TV viewing in Los Angeles a bit easier.
Oct. 29: Off.

Nov. 5: at New York Giants, 10 a.m., (Ch. 11) — After last season’s trip to London, and a bye, the Rams played at home. This season, they must go across the country to play against Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr. and company.

Nov. 12: HOUSTON, 1 p.m., (Ch. 2) — Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips coached with the Texans for three seasons. With the Brock Osweiler experiment over and wished-for Tony Romo in the CBS broadcast booth, who starts at quarterback for the Texans?

Nov. 19: at Minnesota, 10 a.m., (Ch. 11) —There is optimism in Rams Land, but it’s doubtful that the Rams will make more than one trip to this season’s Super Bowl site. Former Rams starting quarterback Case Keenum is a backup for Sam Bradford.

Nov. 26: NEW ORLEANS, 1 p.m., (Ch. 11) —With former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams gone to Cleveland, this matchup lacks the intrigue from last season’s Williams-Sean Payton “Bountygate” reunion. Rams defensive line coach Bill Johnson came from the Saints staff.

Dec. 3: at Arizona, 1:15 p.m., (Ch. 11) — The Rams mistakenly thought they were legitimate contenders when they defeated the Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium in 2016. Will McVay deliver an early Christmas present to Arizona coach Bruce Arians, a la Jeff Fisher?

Dec. 10: PHILADELPHIA, 1:15 p.m., (Ch. 11) — It’s the compare-and-contrast bowl as Rams quarterback Jared Goff, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft, faces an Eagles team led by No. 2 pick Carson Wentz. Rams linebacker Connor Barwinfaces his most recent employer.

Dec. 17: at Seattle, 1 p.m., (Ch. 11) — At least it’s not a cold Thursday night game this year. Will cornerback Richard Sherman still be with Seahawks to revisit the tackle he made on Goff?

Dec. 24: at Tennessee, 10 a.m., (Ch. 11) —Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota, the second pick in the 2015 draft, appears to be hitting his stride. The Rams not only fired Jeff Fisher, but also the roster is now void of players with Titans ties.

Dec. 31: SAN FRANCISCO, 1:15 p.m., (Ch. 11) — Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, a free agent, apparently won’t be in position to beat the Rams in the final seconds at the Coliseum for a second year in a row. It shapes up as a rockin’ New Year’s Eve in L.A. with Chargers also entertaining the Raiders.
Times also were announced for most of the Rams’ preseason games: Aug. 12, vs. Dallas, 6 p.m., (Ch. 2); Week 2, TBA, at Oakland; Aug. 26, vs. Chargers, 5 p.m., (Ch. 2); Aug. 31, at Green Bay, 4 p.m. (Ch. 2).

Zooey, you’re my fucking hero…….

Here is a fact: a higher percentage of Sanders voters cast votes for Hillary in the general than Hillary supporters did for Obama in 2008. So you should just shut up about that.

YOU don’t own the party, Sally. You don’t get to tell anybody else what belongs in the party, and what doesn’t. It isn’t YOUR party, and there is a strong movement afoot to take it back so it serves the bottom 90%.

This one below is gold Zooey,…… gold!

LOL. Okay, Sherlock, your superpower sleuthing skills have helped you learn that your progressive credentials are stronger than mine. You go cling to that old tyme religion. It’s winning you a lot of elections. Like you can’t even get the most qualified human ever to run for President elected, but that’s the fault of the people who identify as progressives, but can’t hold a candle to you, and hate women. Carry on telling people they don’t belong in YOUR party, and see if that brings up your vote tallies.

I’m stealing this one…….

What do you think would empower women more: increased wages, health care, and free higher education? Or a woman in the Oval Office? Cuz if you think having a woman in the Oval Office is somehow going to benefit women, I ask you to explain to me how blacks are better off now than they were before Obama was elected. And before you answer, consider the fact that #BlackLivesMatter arose in the second term of a black president. Obama did next to nothing to help blacks, and that’s exactly how much Clinton would have helped women.

Game, set, Match…. fuck Sally.

Then I go to Sally’s FB page to see what’s happening there…AND I AM BLOCKED! Completely blocked! I get an Error Message.

People can’t handle the truth, because they don’t know what it is…….

please keep enlighten people!

He’s pissed… he’s moving from LA to Cleveland…

I liked him as a player, but Not cool to make it public.

plus this Sullivan guy wants to play for McVay…. that’s a good sign….

They aren’t moving until after the stadium is built, and they don’t even have renderings of it yet. They will be another couple of years in Oakland no matter what, so they presumably won’t be up and coming at that point.

O man. So the Oakland fans are gonna keep them for another year or two?

Thats gonna be weird. And ugly. And fun to watch.

the window of opportunity to win a SB in Oakland is open now.

they have the team and structure in place.

1) They have the GM (Executive of the year)
2) They have the coach
3) They have the franchise QB
4) They have a young balanced team.
5) Tom Brady is old, thus Oakland can get deep in the playoffs….

This open window could’ve also taken advantage of the SF bay area fan base, as the 49ers window to win now is far from open, but Oakland wants the big payday in a much smaller market in Vegas….

2 years is a long time to be lame duck…. anything can happen, I’m not sold yet on the LV Raiders.

Crashers

Silicon Valley

Andy Griffith re-runs…

have any of you guys watched Sons of Anarchy or Breaking Bad?

Breaking Bad was one of my all time favorites….

He really threw a lot of accurate quick darts in that offense, under
plenty of duress.

Still, i wouldnt want him as my franchise QB. There’s just somethin
about Sam i dont like. I cant quite put my finger on it.

He’s a very good QB…… I’d take him over most of the NFL playoff QBs from last year, with the exception of Rodgers, Wilson and Carr…… I’d take Sam over Brady only because Brady is 105 years old in NFL years….

Give me Sam over Prescott, Ryan, Big Ben, Alex Smith and Dieter Osweiler…..

I think he’s won the gig over Teddy the Bridge over troubled Waters…..

the iron lung still freaks me out…. I didn’t like seeing images of it as a kid…..

cool photos….

i heard that the public school folks in the North East typically account for 5 snow days per year….

2 weeks into spring training and this storms enables the 1st school snow day of the year for the great North East…..

I think wearing blue and white pants while the jersey and helmet still have gold is sorta stupid.

I agree with you and so do the Rams

They’re going with the white horns next year…..

yes, this is bummer… it’s bizzaro world…

we have a president that has no sense of integrity or honesty

a blatant liar that has no respect for the people that just dishes out bullshit and his supporters eat it up….

I find it hard to believe that this has happened in the USA.

It’s in the hands of the republicans now, they have the means to stand up and challenge this bullshit…
