nittany ramModeratorLes Snead has $7M of cap to work with
and i’m assuming they’ll have even more space if they extend donald?
nittany ramModeratorThe weirdest Rams memorabilia I have is something I found at a flea market…
Rams Nesting Dolls.
The irony is that Marshall Faulk is the largest (the one that contains all the other dolls) and Orlando Pace is the smallest.
In order it goes Faulk, Bulger, Holt, Bruce and Pace.
nittany ramModeratorBaseball?
Is that still a thing?
I lost interest when the Pirates traded away Andy Van Slyke…

Yeah it might be a bit much.
I think you have to look at how he played last season. If he played well his performance shouldn’t drop off that much the following season. Some CBs continue to play at a high level well into their 30s – Aeneas Williams, Robert Sherman, etc.
And who can forget Robert Sherman’s work on Mary Poppins when he was almost 40.
Cute.
I’ll have you know that Robert is Richard Sherman’s given name. Richard is sort of a nickname. Not unlike how people informally referred to John F Kennedy as Jack, or wv ram as wv doofus.
nittany ramModeratorYou know what’s funny? I mean, first class comedy? Seattle cut Bobby Wagner for cap reasons, and the Rams – Reigning Super Bowl Champs – signed him. That’s hilarious.
I applaud your brave front.
I know how much you must be hurting on the inside.
Laugh clown. Laugh.

nittany ramModeratorthe TOP FIVE teams in the NFC right now
As long as they remain healthy, I think the Rams might be better this season than last. The Bucs haven’t beaten the Rams since Brady’s been there. What has changed this year to make them better than the Rams?
I think the Vikings might be better than the Cards now that they have a good offensive coach in O’Connell. Lots of talent on that offense. I’m not sure the Packers are that good anymore. They have no one at receiver. I could see them finishing behind the Vikings.
nittany ramModeratorIt’s still so alien to me to hear pundits talk about the Rams as the NFL’s model franchise.
The wounds to my psyche inflicted by Georgia, Shaw and Zygmunt still haven’t healed, yet everything about this franchise now screams absolute competence- from the highest positions in the front office down to the kid who has to wash the towels. Who wants to bet that he doesn’t use just the right amount of fabric softener every time? C’mon, bet me!
nittany ramModeratorYes. He was kicked off the team because he attended a civil rights protest. The only place that would take him after that was Miss. Vocational College.
Yes but what is rarely talked about is that Deacon was a Klan member and was there as a counter protester.
nittany ramModeratorI mean, you just do not see Hall of Famers on each of the 3 levels of 1 defense very often. Aaron Donald, Bobby Wagner, Jalen Ramsey. When does that ever happen? w v
Joe Greene, Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, Donnie Shell, Mel Blount…
nittany ramModeratorYeah, a lot of things have to go right for it to work.
Most importantly you have to draft well on the second day.

nittany ramModerator.Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueHad heard the Rams at least explored what was possible here and I wouldn’t rule them out from continuing to assess their options in adding a pass-rusher, whether in coming days or later in the league year (like June, for example). Am reminded their aggressive move here last season didn’t come until November.That’s how I see it too. The Rams will trade for Von Miller again in November.
nittany ramModeratornittany ramModeratorI agree.
Texas dismissing criminal charges due to lack of evidence was all the GMs had to hear to start lining up to bid on him.
In rape/sexual assault cases there usually isn’t a lot of evidence. It almost always comes down to ‘he said v she said’. Not finding sufficient evidence shouldn’t surprise anybody.
But he was accused by 22 women. That carries no weight with the NFL apparently.
nittany ramModeratorWhy would the Rams trade AD? I can’t imagine any good reason to do that.
The question was “should *LA* trade AD to New York?”
He was referring to a player on the Lakers with the initials AD.
It was actually a fairly decent joke and well executed.
nittany ramModeratorAs pathetic as it sounds, for several years he was the best player on the team.
nittany ramModeratorI could see a hangover having an effect early on but I think they would eventually get over it. It won’t sink the season.
I have a lot of faith in the ability of McVay, Donald, Ramsey, and Miller (fingers crossed) to keep this team from remaining satisfied even if they entered the season that way.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Rams barely made the playoffs in a tough NFC West but then kicked it up a gear and got to the NFC championship game.
nittany ramModeratorI don’t need Deshaun Watson on the Seahawks.
Watson in Seattle doesn’t bother me.
He’s just a younger, rape-ier, version of Russell Wilson.
And the Rams beat him as a matter of routine.
nittany ramModeratorRams are 5th all time in NFL Championship game appearances with 10.
Bears lead with 22. Packers are second with 19.
I’m not talking about conference championship games. This is NFL championships including Super Bowls…
nittany ramModeratorThread to remind us of the ramifications of nuclear war…
With each new Russian atrocity in Ukraine, calls for NATO intervention increase. Are we sleepwalking towards nuclear war? The appetite for risk is increasing with the horror of civilian casualties. Putin is cornered and may escalate. What's the worst that can happen? Thread: 1/12

March 9, 2022 at 1:35 pm in reply to: Rams internal FAs & contract issues (updated w/ big article] #137390nittany ramModeratorI’m still basking in the super-bowl-after-glow. Doesnt matter to me if the rams sign anyone. I dont care if they go 0-17 next year. I’m just going to rewatch that no-look pass over and over for the rest of my days. But you people, go ahead and live in the present. w v
F*** that.
That Super Bowl is ancient f***ing history and McVay ain’t done sh*t since then.
He better get his sh*t together or I’m gonna start lighting torches…
March 9, 2022 at 10:59 am in reply to: Rams internal FAs & contract issues (updated w/ big article] #137383nittany ramModeratorMiller is strongly hinting that he wants to go back to Denver. Wilson signing there doesn’t hurt either.
It doesn’t matter if he does. I have it on good authority that it doesn’t matter.
Wow, that guy is the complete package – handsome and brilliant. Surprised someone like that would have time for your ilk. You should count yourself lucky.
And I think he was talking about the possibility of acquiring Dante Fowler again though. In which case I wholeheartedly agree with him – even without Von Miller I think we already have better options on the roster.
So the latest in the Von Miller saga is that on IG he said that he wants to try and work it out with the Rams first.
But then he posted a picture of himself with Russell Wilson.
I think this is Von Miller’s world and we’re all just his playthings.
March 8, 2022 at 3:48 pm in reply to: Rams internal FAs & contract issues (updated w/ big article] #137361nittany ramModerator{twocents} OBJ is going to get incentives. No way is he getting big money with a twice-ripped up knee, and most of the season on IR. And now there is concern his knee could take him down Todd Gurley Avenue. Sucks for him. Stafford won’t sign for less than 40. Rodgers just got 50. And Stafford has the same number of SB rings. They’re going to have to pay him. I can’t imagine that no team will outbid the Rams for Miller. Somebody is going to buy him for more than the Rams can pay. {/twocents}
Miller is strongly hinting that he wants to go back to Denver. Wilson signing there doesn’t hurt either.
If he does return to Denver it will be interesting to see what his contract looks like. I mean, Denver traded him mid-season so they obviously thought keeping an aging, injured, edge rusher around wasn’t a priority.
March 8, 2022 at 3:38 pm in reply to: Seattle trades Wilson to Denver…update, & release Wagner #137360nittany ramModeratorMahomes Herbert Carr and Wilson. Okay, then.
Rams play all 4 of them next season.
Poor Russell Wilson. He wanted out of Seattle so he wouldn’t have to face Aaron Donald anymore.
nittany ramModeratorI remember thinking they always make out DV to be the good cop and Martz the bad cop — but DV had to have known what a prick Martz was being. So he must have been ok with that approach. So why does DV get to be the lovable old guy? . w vI think it’s complicated. I think if you met DV away from football he would seem like a lovable old grandpa. DV Grandpa. And that would be who he really is when he’s not coaching.But when he’s coaching he becomes DV Coach and all the competitiveness, hardness, severity, etc that comes with being a head coach comes out.My brother used to work for my hometown newspaper and he scored a sideline pass from the sports dept for the Rams/Eagles game in 99. He used the pass in the first half and I used it in the second. Remember it was a meaningless game for the Rams. It was the last game of the year, the starters only played the first half. At one point in the game an Eagles player hit a Rams player late as he was going out of bounds. It happened right in front of me. The ref ignored it. DV came sprinting over and was screaming at the ref, “throw the f**king flag! That c**ksucker hit him when he was out of bounds!” It was weird seeing DV respond like that. It seemed really out of character at first, but when you think about it there’s so much pressure on these guys, and they are hyper-competitive and emotional to begin with, so it shouldn’t be a surprise when they ‘lose it’ in the heat of battle. I was waiting for the ref to flag DV but he just pretended he didn’t hear it. Anyway, that’s who DV is when he’s coaching.
DV has a fishing camp near my home in Pa that he bought when he was with the Eagles. When my best friend was elected county commissioner, he sent DV an email asking him if he could use his image to promote tourism in our county since he enjoyed spending time there. DV said sure and sent him all these photos without even a single question. There were no conditions. He didn’t ask for money, there were no contracts or lawyers involved. He didn’t demand to approve anything before it was used. Pretty stupid on his part, actually. ;). After all, he didn’t know my friend from Adam, but that’s who DV is when he’s not coaching.nittany ramModeratorLittle girl singing "Let it go" in a shelter#UkraineRussianWar #Ukraine #UkraineUnderAttack pic.twitter.com/6gfcUoiwJJ

nittany ramModeratorSaw the Kurt movie on dvd. It was exactly what you’d expect in the “faith based” genre. I’ve seen four or five of these types of films and they are all exactly the same. They do not hit the viewer over the head with the Jesus-stuff. They have learned to do a tricky-balancing thing: Just enough Jesus to satisfy the core christian audience, but not enough to put-off the non-jesus folks. They want the film to cross-over into the mainstream audience for obvious reasons. As for the /production/acting — all good, i thought. The one really outstanding aspect of the movie was the Zeller kid’s performance. Non-actor. Played Brenda Warner’s blind son. The kid is a star. Stole the movie. Also, thought Anna Paquin (who I am not familar with) did an outstanding job. In the bonus feature she talked about playing the part of a christian even though shes not into that stuff. I thought she totally captured the essence of…that whole thing. Made me wanna watch a highlight vid of 99 🙂 w v
Ana Paquin plays Snooky in True Blood. If you’ve never seen it you should.
There were many corny moments in the movie. It wasn’t great, or even good.
But I did find myself pridefully thinking “Yes!” during the reenactment of the historic plays Kurt made.
nittany ramModeratorI like how Colin thinks.
For some reason, for a long time, I was dismissive of him. I don’t know why. But he grew on me. Not just because he started loving the Rams. I would listen to his reasoning and he was always adding something to discussions.
Same here. I don’t always agree with him but his takes are usually interesting and thoughtful.
