    Mack: I get the love for Bernie. I do. Of all those running for President -Republicans and Democrats-he would be the only one I would ever invite over for drinks and dinner. He is so genuine and loveable he would be a wonderful guest and conversationalist. OTOH I would not have wanted LBJ as a dinner guest since I wouldn’t know what he was saying was truth or not. But in times of crisis I would want him to lead as opposed to Sanders. But I do get the lover for the latter. I share it.

    The biggest crises facing us today pertain to the environment. I can’t think of any candidate running today who has addressed that issue as much as Bernie. No one else is even talking about it.

    Whatever they choose as their regular home and road colors, now that they are in LA, they are more likely to wear the old blue and whites as their throwback uniforms. To my knowledge, they never wore those after moving to Saint Louis.

    Actually it’s been longer than that. They haven’t worn the blue and white uniforms since the final game of the 72 season.

    That kind of thinking is how we ended up with QB’s like Dieter Brock. “Anyone can hand off to Eric Dickerson”….how’d that work out for us? 😉

    Has any other fanbase been this obsessed with its teams uniforms?

    Have to admit that I’m obsessed to. But it’s interesting to me how much concern there is out there about what the uniforms will eventually look like. Now it’s even become the topic of a national radio/tv broadcast…

    “One of the bigger topics of discussion other than Peyton Manning since the Rams have moved to Los Angeles have been their uniforms. Will they stick with what they have or will they go back to the blue and yellow “Ferragamo’s” or will they go back to the fearsome foursome blue and white?

    The Rams’ uniform became a big topic Wednesday on The Dan Patrick Show hosted by Ross Tucker. Dave Dameshek of the NFL Network called in and gave his thoughts on the uniform situation and whats he thinks the Rams should do…”: http://ramblinfan.com/2016/02/10/dave-dameshek-on-rams-uniforms-i-want-the-ferragamos/

    not sure i want the rams drafting a receiver. don’t seem to have much luck with that position. i think they should go after one in free agency and draft other positions.

    Drew Bennett. Laurent Robinson. Kenny Britt.

    You really want to address WR through FA?

    You could turn that around. Brian Quick, Chris Givens, Austin Pettis, Greg Salas, Marty Gilyard…

    Perhaps it’s best if the Rams never attempt to acquire a WR by any means ever again?

    They should stick to drafting RBs, DTs and DBs with every pick. They know how to do that.

    After watching Foles implode last season, who in their right mind would want him?

    Foles has had a great season, a mediocre season and a horrible season – in that order. Not the sort of trend you want to see in a QB.

    I’m not even sure he’s worth a look at $1.75 million.

    That’s fair.

    The big question mark about Pace always was, what if the Rams just stayed put in the 97 draft and picked Walter Jones instead of trading up. Jones got in before Pace.

    Martz on the other hand said the GSOT couldn’t have worked without Pace, since they could just count on him to hold his own.

    That of course doesn’t address the Walter Jones issue.

    I think a lot of Rams fans have reserved feelings about Pace because of the holdouts.

    Not taking sides on this, just speculatatizing.

    .

    Yeah I have nothing against Pace. And I’m not one to necessarily fault a guy for holding out whether under contract or not. Especially since playing this game often results in a drastically shortened life.

    He was one of the best all-time, but I think he could have been THE best had he wanted to be.

    Interesting, too, what he says about JL.

    I’m skeptical about this. Who is the ‘they’ he’s referring to? Hard to believe anybody in the front office or coaching staff would disclose secret plans for relocation to the players.

    He might have been guessing the Rams would move. The media and Grits 😉 had been speculating the Rams might move back to LA for several years. But at the time, that’s all it was…speculation. I doubt he or anyone else was ever given any hard information about the move though.

    No thanks. At this point, I don’t think Manning can be effective for a full season anymore. He can still play well in spots like he did last week but he’s just not the player he used to be.

    Yeah, I think the 1999 team coached by Vermeil would beat the 2001 team coached by Martz.

    However, the 2001 team coached by Vermeil would beat the 1999 team coached by Vermeil.

    In addition, the 5th Panzer division coached by Vermeil would’ve beaten the 3rd Army coached by Patton at Bastogne.

    That’s not a “grade” though. You then have to factor in the quality of the players and so on.

    Agreed. A draft that yields 2 superstars is better than a draft that yields 4 or 5 average starters. So it certainly can’t just be about percentage of players that make the roster – or even that start. That’s a factor but it doesn’t tell the whole story. There’s alotta’ stuff to consider.

    No not really. I can’t think of anything that’s similar to tell you the truth. I love pan haus but I was brought up eating it. I’m Pa Dutch (but not Amish) on my father’s side and my grandmother made all that German stuff. Most people I know don’t care for it.

    Speaking of liver pate, I like liverwurst a lot, especially braunschweiger. It’s really good on bread with a spicy mustard.

    Pan haus is also called scrapple. Generally you eat it for breakfast as a side dish. Some people put maple syrup on it but I don’t eat it that way. I like it fried so the outside is a wee bit crispy but the inside is still soft.

    I would have to agree that people in NE know about lasagna. I live in Vermont and I have seen it on menus here.

    However, I was born and raised in central Pennsylvania and what New Englanders don’t know about is pan haus, schnitz un kepp or fasnacht.

    Why no love for Mannion? I think Rivers / Keenum / Mannion would be just fine.

    I have nothing against Mannion, and as invader says if he could be groomed to be the eventual replacement, that would be ideal.

    However, I think it’s fair to say the odds of Mannion developing into a quality QB are 50% or less. That’s pretty conservative actually. So I agree with those who say draft a QB every year. Even if Mannion looks like he could be ‘the guy’ the Rams should constantly be bringing in QBs to evaluate and develop because the odds of finding a championship caliber QB are so low.

    Dear Chargers Fans,

    Today I decided our team will stay in San Diego for the 2016 season and I hope for the long term in a new stadium.

    I have met with Mayor Faulconer and Supervisor Roberts and I look forward to working closely with them and the business community to resolve our stadium dilemma. We have an option and an agreement with the Los Angeles Rams to go to Inglewood in the next year, but my focus is on San Diego.

    This has been our home for 55 years, and I want to keep the team here and provide the world-class stadium experience you deserve.

    Everyone on both sides of the table in San Diego must now determine the best next steps and how to deploy the additional resources provided by the NFL.

    I am committed to looking at this with a fresh perspective and new sense of possibility.

    With deep appreciation for your years of support,

    Dean A. Spanos
    Chairman

    Yeah, I wouldn’t mind getting Bradford back. He could still be the long term answer at QB that Rivers can’t be.

    But I would also be happy with Rivers. I agree he would make the Rams an automatic Superbowl contender. Sign him and draft and groom his eventual replacement.

    The teams aren’t based on NFC and AFC anymore. The players play for either Jerry Rice or Michael Irvin. They determine their own rosters. That means two players from one NFL team can face each other in the Probowl.

    I don’t care who wins, but I think Carolina is the better team mainly because of Newton. Newton in his prime is better than the current version of Manning.
