But games in China, Korea or Japan? Those countries are so far away that the time difference is only calculable by NASA. Did you know that today is actually yesterday there? The players union should be opposed to forcing players to travel back and forth through time. And who knows what effect time displacement will have on CTE?

imagine getting a concussion in Shanghai and getting on a plane nauseated for a 14 hour flight back home…..

If the league considers expansion, stay in the western and northern hemisphere….. Guadalajara, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal…. how about Cuba?

The miss in Baltimore was a killer. Minnesota too, but Fisher opted to for 2 after a TD that put the Rams in a hole.

SF miss sucked too, but the game was meaningless.

i remember listening to this game on the radio…. this game was not on TV in the SF Bay Area (San Jose) but it was the game of the week on national radio…..a rare occurrence to have the Rams on local radio in San Jose…..

Towards the end of the game, I had the game blasting from my truck radio while playing a game of catch with old college roommates during the final minutes of the game thinking of a sure Rams victory with their brand new Rams QB that was actually good……, then the Patriots hail mary happened, I was sick to my gut and stunned…..but the Rams seemed to have found their QB….

BTW, semi related to Everett…. I was thumbing through ASSBOOK on my phone the other night and Eric Dickerson was answering questions live to Ram fans….. One question was.

“Do you think you (Eric Dickerson) had a better chance of winning a Super Bowl in LA with Ferragammo or with Jim Everett at QB? Dickerson answered that he had a better chance with Vince…. I was a bit surprised…… he said he liked Vince’s swing pass to the RBs…..

Perhaps Eric is still bitter that his buddy Kent Hill was part of the trade that sent Hill to the Oilers for Jim Everett…..I’ve always that that Everett was a better QB than Vince…

I want to see The Revenant.

I haven’t seen many DiCaprio movies. But the only thing I saw that I thought he was really good in was Gilbert Grape. I didn’t see The Aviator or Blood Whatever. I heard he was good in those.

But. I think I have, on average, one student a year who is as good or better. And none of them are rich enough to drive a Prius like he does.

not a big fan, but he was good in “The Departed” and I liked the movie “Catch Me if You Can” but I didn’t think he was that great in it….

and I agree, he was good in Gilbert Grape… I forgot about that movie…..

Happy Birthday ZN!

Yes, other teams are obsessed too.

49ers tried to do this in 91 and the fans didn’t allow it.

Peter King is great… great read. Almost as great as Wade’s defense…..

1 TD Pass combined in consecutive games from Newton, Brady, and Big Ben….

What a postseason Phillips had, his defense holding Pittsburgh, New England and Carolina to an average of 12.7 points a game. He once again put together a brilliant game plan. Cam Newton never had the kind of open rush lanes he always seems to find five or six times a game.

With the Broncos’ offense nothing more than a water break for the defense, Denver stared down Newton with 4:16 remaining in the fourth quarter. A 16-10 cushion felt, if only briefly, vulnerable.

The Panthers faced a third-and-9, Newton dropped back to pass. Carolina had to make a difficult choice.Double Miller or peel off to chip a blitzing Ward. They miscalculated. Before Newton could sling his arm forward, Miller swatted the football out of his hand. Ward pounced on it, setting up the Broncos’ only offensive touchdown, a 2-yard run by C.J. Anderson.

before this happened, I’m hoping that the Panthers will drive downfield and score a TD setting up Peyton’s chance to drive for game winning field goal…….But Cam didn’t even try to recover his fumble…

Newton didn’t even react to that fumble, he must have been emotionally and physically beaten, he was done for that game…….. It’s easy for me to say that from my recliner, but Superman treated that fumble like it was kryptonite and wanted no part of that scrum…..

Denver played the 2nd half not to lose…didn’t even try to move the chains, it was clear that once they got the lead that Carolina wasn’t going to do jack against Wade Phillip’s defense…..

My own feeling is that the Rams demolished Manning in 2014, and that Carolina could do the same.

I agree, I think the Panthers are going to do the same thing they did to Arizona.

Just like they did to Palmer, Carolina is not going to allow Peyton to get into any type of rhythm.

In Peyton’s defense, he made some nice plays in the first half vs New England but the difference vs New England was Denver’s pass pressure.

Those told they’re not coming with the team are being offered two months termination pay, six months severance pay, plus one week of additional pay for each year of employment with the team. So an employee who was with the Rams for, say, 15 years and is not accompanying the team to Los Angeles could walk away with nearly a year’s worth of pay. The team also is providing a placement service for employees not going to L.A., offering interviewing and résumé tips, as well as networking opportunities.

not a bad severance package….

2 month termination pay
6 month severance
1 week of pay for each year of service….

I’ve said this many times….

it only takes one 3rd down stop to win a game by 3 points. During SPY Gate New England won 3 super bowls by 3 points or less…

BTW, DEFLATE GATE. New England has been money in Nov and Dec for the past 15 years…. this year with properly inflated balls. New England finished 3-5 since late Nov. ….

It’s a huge advantage throwing a ball that is 20% smaller in size. BTW, this season turnovers on fumbles was twice as much as they did last year.

1999 Rams…the best of all time…… unsung defense…. great offense….

Jeff Fisher beat them in the regular season (Bobby Ross did it one week later in Detroit)…. Jeff Fisher almost did it again 2 month later in the Super Bowl

It would be like Palmer going to the cards.

The Rams would immediately be a different
team.

Would they give a first rd pick for Rivers?
I would.

First and second? Maybe.

It would be more like Hadl to the Rams ….. Do the Rams have a Coy Bacon to trade?…..

1 and a 2 for Rivers is steep….

But there is not that many QB’s out there… I want Sam back or keep working with Case, I kinda liked Keenum towards the end of the season.

I’d rather stick with Case than moving to RG…..

the only QB I want to see with RG initials is Roman G.

Damn, Wagner nailed this one….. this started the tail spin……at least open the flood gates for this game…..

I wonder if electing to go for 2 in Minnesota makes the list? …….
