Los Angeles Chargers owner Dean Spanos has pushed back against a report the team would consider relocating to London.

“It’s total f–kin bulls–t,” Spanos told reporters Tuesday. “We’re not going to London. We’re not going anywhere. We’re playing in Los Angeles. This is our home, and this is where we are planning to be for a long f—king time. Period.”

Maybe.

But I remember when Kroenke and the NFL said the Rams were committed to staying in St Louis…

I think 10-6 overall is about the best they can hope for without the dynamic version of Gurley they had in 2017 and 2018. Gurley’s abilities in the running and passing games are what made those offenses special. To be better than 10-6 would also require better play from the o-line. They really miss Saffold.

wants to provide poor people from Mexico and Central America to the American dream when we the poor in America

I’m not sure allowing poor immigrants into the country will drastically increase net CO2 emissions. They’re not going to be driving Hummers to their Madison Avenue offices as soon as they cross the border. They’re still going to be poor. But now they will be able to find a job that allows them
to send a little money home to their families. Who knows, millions of immigrants working in farm fields might even reduce net CO2. It allows the work to be done by hand instead of using gas burning machinery.

You are right that we need to drastically reduce CO2 emissions now. But keep in mind, it’s the conservatives who want to maintain the status quo. Their plan isn’t realistic. Just the opposite. It completely dismisses the reality of climate change.

I’d go with either Warren Beatty or Alan Alda.

I can’t stop laughing at this

Really like Henderson. He’s little but has big man’s power to go with his speed.

Henderson is a very interesting back. Yes he’s strong, and built like a compact little fire hydrant, but on top of it, he has just unreal contact balance. As often as not direct hits don’t knock his gyroscope off. Combine those features and he’s not only nifty and quick, he’s hard to bring down. You would expect a fast, shorter back like that to be more elusive, but instead, while he is decently elusive, his main thing (along with speed) is that he’s tough to tackle and just keeps plowing ahead. Great pick I think. Kind of a unique back. Not sure who to compare him to.

Yeah. It’s hard to compare him to other backs because he is unique. He’s sorta like a quicker, niftier, Robert Newhouse, but not exactly, because Henderson has straight away speed too. I have no doubt he could be a feature back, though.

So, since the Rams will have their own stadium next season, this should be the last time they have to play in London, correct? Although, overall the Rams have fared pretty well there, except for that 59-7 debacle against the Pats.

Moore points out that Sanders isn’t a member of a socialist party, but he used to be in the Liberty Union Party, which is the biggest of several socialist parties in Vermont.

Former Redsox pitcher Bill ‘Spaceman’ Lee is also a member.

Moore says Bernie isn’t a member of a socialist party because ‘he’s his own man and refuses to be told what to do’, but the reality is, as we all know, in this country, membership in a party other than Democrat or Republican would doom your political career beyond the local level. This is the biggest factor on our system being so corrupt.

I swear I get WAAAAAY more truth from Chris Hedges and Lee Camp on RT than i do from NPR, CNN, FOX, the NYTimes and MSNBC combined.

I don’t know enough about RT to comment on its accuracy. I’ve seen Lee Camp and have enjoyed his broadcasts. I haven’t seen many but I generally agree with his opinions. I’ve read some of the accusations about RT being a Russian propaganda outlet. They are state-owned and funded by the Russian govt which gives me pause, but I don’t know enough about it yet to have opinion about the validity of the propaganda accusation.

it really would be a disaster should the rams lose this game.

Or win the game but suffer injuries that ruin the season.

Sure, that could happen any time but for it to happen in an easy, meaningless game would sting even more.

Although I guess when you are 4-3 and in third place in your division there are no meaningless games.

Az Hakim returns a punt for a TD vs Bengals

I was at that game. The Rams finished 13-3 in the Super Bowl Championship season of 1999. I managed to travel to three of their games that season (Detroit, Cincy, Philly) and defying all odds they managed to lose two of them.

Going into that game, the Bengals were the only team who had been worse than the Rams over the previous 10 seasons. Knowing they had suffered as much as we have fostered a feeling of kinship with their fans. Many of them were wearing T shirts that said “Coslet sucks, Brown swallows” (Head Coach Bruce Coslet, Owner Mike Brown). There were also a lot of “bag heads”. I assumed this was in response to the haplessness of the Bengals but as it turns out, many people there are just extremely ugly.

The Rams won 38-10 and it wasn’t that close. I think that was the first time I ever saw the Rams win in person.

I’m not that into science. I just think everything should defer to it at all times no matter the cost.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must go into the back yard and perform the rite of the gathering and mulching of leaves. I must complete the rite before the Gibbous Moon ascends beyond Mercury and Venus on October 29th or my chi will be irrevocably misaligned.

The true left doesn’t seem to like Gabbard or Warren.

Is that true? I like Gabbard, she’s one of the most articulate gub’mint people I ever knowed of. And I like her a lot of her views. I never saw her as equivalent to Warren.

Yeah I dunno. That comment is based on this article from the Jacobian:

https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/05/tulsi-gabbard-president-sanders-democratic-party

If the Post’s report is accurate, what Warren has done is quite outrageous. Not only did she accept giant fees ($600+ an hour) to represent a giant chemical company accused of making women sick (Warren later disputed evidence that the product made the women sick), but she then had the gall to pretend that she was actually the one fighting on behalf of the women instead of the company.

She reminds me of Hillary in many ways – which isn’t a good thing. That last sentence is a classic Clinton move.

She should have stuck to her guns. As it turns out, silicon breast implants likely did not cause the illnesses the plaintiffs claimed.
