Those statements are usually uttered by those who socialism would help the most.

Perhaps the biggest irony in human history is that the march against social programs is being led by the working class.

Wow.

I assume Dean Martin plays Keltner.

Trump’s advisers have maintained that they were operating on credible intelligence showing that Soleimani was involved in imminent plans to attack U.S. interests in a handful of countries.

Even if it were true, why would killing Soleimani prevent or mitigate these alleged attacks?

…

That’s what struck me too. If there really was some kind of imminent attack planned, assassinating a general won’t stop it. If anything, it will make the attack far more likely, and perhaps expand its range.

Aside from the moral/ethical component, it flat our seems stupid and pointless, strategically.

Yeah, right. It’s not like D-Day wouldn’t have happened if Ike had a heart attack the day before.

Guaranteed that bone spurs won’t keep Trump from sending your kids to war.

If Higbee has a 5th consecutive 100 yd game he will be the 1st TE to ever do that in NFL history.

Wow, Higbee has a chance to become the Chris Massey of TEs.

Speaking of Chris Massey, I think it’s a travesty that the NFL refuses to recognize the “yards long-snapped” statistic. He long-snapped for over 100 yds in 27 consecutive games but this accomplishment goes unheralded because of league prejudice against the snapping arts.

Freulich Kristag!

I think the Rams are close to contending again. Mainly have to buttress the o-line a bit.

Other things I’d like to see happen…

1. Add an offensive coordinator to help McVay
2. Get a real QB coach

Shame they’ll probably lose Fowler. He really came into his own this season.

Well, they have had a lot of plays blow up in their faces.

The Rams will have this game in hand by the middle of the second quarter.

======================

It would be a nice season if the Rams could somehow knock the Cowboys and the Vikings out of the playoffs. That would be a fine year.

Do you think there’s such a thing as a ‘superbowl hangover’? Did it hit the Patriots too?

w

Yes, I think there’s something to the Super Bowl hangover, however I think it can be hard to know how much to attribute to it vs other ‘normal’ things that happen between seasons such as coaching staff changes, player turnover, veteran players getting another year older, etc. When you look at the Rams the season following SB 36 some of the struggles could have been due to the hangover. Losing the SB while being heavy favorites probably magnified all the psychological issues that go along with that. However, the O-line began to deteriorate, Warner had a bad thumb, etc.

I’m not sure how much of a roll SB Hangover played this year either. This season they had massive turnover in the o-line, reduced roll of TG-III, etc.

So even though to me it makes sense that SB hangover exists, I think it’s hard to quantify. I also sorta think it’s not something that would effect a team for the entire season.

I think they have a shot. Minn has to lose and I don’t know what the tie breakers are.

I don’t know details of the tie breakers either, but Collinsworth said the Rams have most of the tie breakers over Green Bay and Minnesota.

May be too late for this season, but we’ll see.

If they get in – who wants to face them?

That was my thought, too.

But they are going to have to win all three games, and that includes beating the 9ers in SF.

=====================

You guyz are crazy. No way this Oline has the talent to be good enough this year.

I hate hopeful behavior in a man. I wont tolerate Hope.

I know the shock and horror of the Seahawks defeat is still fresh in your mind, so I’ll give you some leeway.

But if you don’t think decent performances by what appears to be an undermanned offensive line for two consecutive weeks doesn’t prove a team is a Super Bowl contender, well sir, then your sanity is in question.

I wonder if Noam knew that Kraus has been accused of sexually harassing women at conferences and was friends with and has defended Epstein on multiple occasions when he agreed to this interview.
