wvParticipantAlac Karatkatsansis on copaganda
wvParticipantCasagranda is asked why the labor movement didnt win the fight to keep all the new deal stuff going. Why the shift to the Right in the US?
(starts at 48 min)
wvParticipantI heard historian Roy Casagranda (who i listen to a lot) say this:
“In 1973, the top 1 percent had 8 percent of the wealth, today the top 1 percent makes 40 percent of the wealth…and then the next 15 percent make another 40, so the top 16 percent of amerika make 80 percent of the wealth…”w
vwvParticipantPuka…saying things about Purdy. For some reason.
wvParticipantThe ‘over/under’ on the Rams, i see, is 9.5 wins.
Home games: Texans, colts, saints, bucs, LIONS.
Away games: falcons, panthers, jags, titans, ravens, Eagles.Plus, division games, obviously.
Nice to see they finally get the lions, at home.

vwvParticipantJoshua Citarella is an interesting guy. I’ve watched several of his interview-podcasts recently. He’s an artist and a socialist and he writes a lot about…I dunno how to describe it…kinda about young people online who have lost faith in the political system.
Anyway, here he talks about one of his little books about the memes online leftists have created after the first trump term.
wvParticipantThe rams have a 29 year-old female director of scouting strategy?
Cool.
w
vwvParticipantRecommend me some good leftist/communist podcasts and YouTube shows with an emphasis on war and foreign policy. Bonus points if it's not your own. Triple bonus points if you can recommend something without arguing against other people's recommendations in the comments.

wvParticipantIf you listen to the details its not exactly ‘deextincting’ the dire wolf. It kinda sounds like the played around with some genes and ‘kinda’ created a dire wolf.
w
vwvParticipantDire wolves un-extincted.

vwvParticipanti was conflicted about posting this. but hey. i’m in too deep as it is. several more feet won’t matter much.
Well, I’m glad you posted it.
…I’m just wondering what the world would be like, if we dismantled capitalism,
and we stopped keeping score in sports. 🙂w
vwvParticipantIt would be nice if my brain could dis-associate the team i follow,
from the billionaires, and capitalist crimes of the corporate world.w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantThought this lady had an interesting take on the subject
wvParticipant111 wins, 100 losses. Thats in the Jeff Fisher zone, isn’t it? 🙂
w
vwvParticipantRams need a QB for the future. I assume they arent going to get a chance to pick Tyler Shough, but I like his potential. He probly wont drop further than mid-2nd round or so, though.
Would be fun to see what Mcvay would do with the great running qb, Jalen Milroe. I think he runs a 4.3 or somethin like that. Lamar Jackson type.

=========Um….no.
w
vwvParticipantVermeil though did build a team from nuthin. So I don’t know who I put at #1/#2.
Martz was a figurehead; I’ve always said it.
w
vwvParticipantWe’ve probably had this conversation, but McVay is my #1 all-time head coach.
Vermeil #2, although his short tenure could drop him in some people’s books, I think.
Knox I and Robinson, tied for 3rd.
George Allen may get Honorable Mention, but I was just a damn kid back then.McVay has an advantage, I’d say, because of Snead and Kronke.
I think DV had it a little tougher.Having said that, I’d say DV built the best Ram team in the modern era. The Faulk trade was just ridiculous.
w
vwvParticipantOne of the things McVay has had to deal with more than any coach i can remember, is, the coach-poaching. Man, he has had to replace half his coaches every damn year.
And that says a lot about what the NFL thinks of McVay.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantI thought Corum was a bit of a disappointment. I dunno. Didnt show me much.
w
vwvParticipantWhat were the defensive rankings in AD’s last year, compared to the young DLine last year?
Run as well as pass stats, etc. Just curious.w
vMarch 17, 2025 at 8:08 pm in reply to: 1st FA wave over, assessments + 2nd wave of signings & extensions #155572wvParticipantI dunno what they need, but I’m ALWAYS worried about the OLine. Havenstein is old. He’s got to break down soon. They jettisoned J.Jackson the Guard. I kinda sorta suspect they dont have ‘quite’ the roster to march through a Super Bowl run next season. I suspect they will be a player or two short.
Unless they pull off some sort of Von Miller / OBJ type deal during the season.

vMarch 17, 2025 at 10:13 am in reply to: around the league: including, Seahawks Trade Geno Smith to the Raiders #155566wvParticipantShe does the Rams at 3:50 in.
wvParticipantI think they wanted Adams because he complements Nacua better than Kupp, plus Kupp missed 19 games in the last 3 seasons…
The injuries were what tipped the scales, i would guess. And aside from the 19 he missed some of the other games he was playing gimpy.
One of my alltime favorite Rams.
Also had one of the Rams alltime great plays. The 4th down run. Its up there with the Ricky Proehl catch.
Wish he’d signed with an AFC team, though. Sigh.
w
vMarch 13, 2025 at 10:07 am in reply to: around the league: including, Seahawks Trade Geno Smith to the Raiders #155487wvParticipantwvParticipantDoes any of that change if another team signs kupp?
And if Kupp signs with the 49ers can felony charges be filed?
w
vwvParticipantI think that’s all basically true, with this one caveat. Garagepollo is not clutch. He may even be anti-clutch. He is at the very least, unclutch. He can get you through a game plan and even be very efficient doing it. But give him the ball with 2 minutes to go down by 3, and his heart turns to ungelled pudding. It’s the opposite of Stafford. Recently Dotson said of Stafford that in the clutch moments of a game, even his eyes are different. He zones in.
The Los Angeles Rams dont NEED a ‘clutch’ QB. They will be ahead by 50 points by the third quarter in every game.
Maybe YOU should stop flaming.
w
vwvParticipantI think one of the most important decisions was to resign Jimmy-G.
JG may very well be the best no.2 QB in the NFL. Ya know.
If Stafford goes down we will not be subjected to one of McVay’s silly young project-QBs.
