    Baseball ended for me when the Pirates were forced to trade away Bonds, Bonilla, and Van Slyke because they couldn’t afford to keep them.

    Teams with low payrolls might make the playoffs every year, but thats a case of those teams catching lightning in a bottle. They are one-offs. Outliers. They’ll only remain competitive until their key players’ contracts are up – like the Pirates during their Killer B era.

    The teams with high payrolls (Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, Dodgers, etc) may not win it every year, but they have a chance to be competitive every year. They will always be in the mix because they can horde talent.

    Anyone who doesn’t think the payroll disparity puts small market teams at a disadvantage has abandoned the path of wisdom, and should be publicly ridiculed until they weep.

    But why?

    I suspect that they’re thinking is, they don’t need 2 slower and roughly similar receivers in Nacua and Kupp, with one being older and prone to injury, plus tied to a big contract.

    Look at 2021: Kupp had 145 receptions, 1947 yards, and 16 TDs. He played all 17 games. In 2024, he had 67 receptions, 710 yards, 6 TDs, and played 9 games.

    Yes, his production doesn’t match his paycheck. He represents a $20 million hit to the cap this coming season, and a $19.85 million hit the following year.

    Since any team that agrees to a trade would have to assume that contract, it might be hard to trade him unless he redoes his contract.

    Rams needs as I see it…

    WR (regardless if Kupp returns they need speed at WR)
    Tackle (need depth)
    Inside LB (Speights is fine, but Roseberg and Reeder are liabilities in run defense)
    CB (although maybe not as big of a need as it looked like earlier in the season)
    TE (Higbee is great when healthy but he’s old – the other TE’s on the roster are meh)

    Well, I’ve moved past this season and am in the process of getting stoked for next season. Next year’s Super Bowl venue is Levi Stadium.

    I really, really want the Rams to be there.

    @speed_kills@speedk1lls
    When is the last time the Rams had a RB rush for 1000 two seasons in a row? And score over 30 tds in the process. Again why are some just focusing on his lack of breakaway speed when it’s clear he brings a lot super positives to the table

    He has good vision and feet. Listen to the announcers when they talk about him. We haven’t had a back as productive since Gurley 2018. He doesn’t have great speed. Ok, but he does all the other stuff really well

    If KW had another gear he’d be Gurley-level elite. As it is, he’s just a really good RB. I can live with that.

    I think that in the Blue Board Charter, it was determined that nobody could have affection for Washington, and our forefathers made no mistakes; they served the lord. That Charter was passed on through multiple boards, and still exists here today.

    So I’m going to ask you to leave.

    There was a little known codicil in that Charter that stated that one can show a smidgen of appreciation for a lesser enemy if they inflict a substantial amount of pain upon a greater enemy, so…

    I hate’m all so I don’t care which teams win. I’m just hoping for competitive, entertaining games.

    I must say I do have a modicum of affection for Washington, the way they stuck a dagger in the hearts of Dan Campbell and those detestable Lions fans.

    But this was not really a super bowl team IMO. They need another good draft.

    They were 14 yds away from beating the Eagles. Had they won that game, the Rams were going to the Super Bowl. I have no doubt in my mind about that. There’s no way they were losing to Washington in SoFi.

    Could they have beaten the Chiefs or the Bills? Who knows, but they already beat the Bills. No matter who they faced in the Super Bowl, I think the game would at least have been competitive.

    The Rams are definitely flawed. I agree that they don’t have what most would consider a Super Bowl roster, but with Stafford and being so well-coached I think they were legitimate contenders.

    I dunno how the Lions got ‘this’ far with all those injuries on defense. Wouldnt surprise me if they won the NFC next year.

    Agreed. I believed the injuries would catch up with them in the playoffs, and they did. And I think you’re right about next year. They probably would have won it this year, if not for those injuries.

    Except they will likely lose both coordinators, other assistant coaches and a few key free agents. They could be the favorites again next year but I think it’s more likely that they fall back a bit.

    The Detroit/Washington game is what you get when two great offenses face two terrible defenses.

    I like the Rams’ chances should they get past Philly.

    19 appearances is pretty impressive when you consider that for the better part of two decades during the Super Bowl era the Rams were among the worst teams in football.

    My dream:

    The Rams beat the Eagles…
    The Commies beat the Lions…

    The Rams host the NFC Championship game.

    It can’t be played in LA due to the fires, and Arizona’s stadium isn’t available.

    So the game is played in Santa Clara.

    The Rams win the game that sends them to the Super Bowl in the home of the San Francisco 49’ers.

    That’s poetry.

    Maybe try completing a pass to a Wide Receiver once or twice. I hear that’s all the rage with modern offenses.

    That’s so passe. The “in” thing to do is to hold the ball a long time, move out of the pocket to the left, and then throw back over the middle to a covered receiver.

    Apparently Dan Campbell issued some Bulletin board fodder. After the game against the Vikings he hugged head coach Kevin O’Connell and said that he’d “see him in two weeks”. Obviously this would only happen if the Vikings beat the Rams.

    This blatant dismissal of the Rams and their chances against Minnesota shall not go unpunished.

    While watching the Vikings/Lions game, it has become evident that the demise of the Lions’ defense has been wildly exaggerated.

    Considering the Rams are resting their starters, that line’s sort of a slap in the face to the Seahawks.

    Not that Seattle has anything to play for beyond pride, but I’m sure they’d like nothing more than to beat the snot out of LA in their own building.

    After all, the Rams are their division rival…
    the Rams have owned them over most of the last decade…
    the Rams kept them out of the playoffs…
    the Rams are division champions…
