wvParticipantAwesome vid. Never seen that one before. 1966. Wow.
George Allen, 12 seasons and his worst record was 8-6. Bill Walsh had 3 losing seasons.
Sometimes i wonder about coaches who never had losing seasons. Like Mike Tomlin. I wonder if some coaches want to win so much that they never allow their team to be ‘blown up’ so they can start over. Seems like ya have to be willing to start over sometimes and take a losing season or two.

vwvParticipantThis is either really really boring, or really really fascinating.
I have paid a bit of attention to it, but i dont pretend to understand it. Its got layers.
wvParticipant“when will they leave my people alone”
wvParticipantTranslation: ‘Ben Johnson is a good coach, but he’s an asshole’
wvParticipantAwesome little vid. Les Josephson. O man.
Never liked ‘those’ blue and whites though. Too much blue.

vwvParticipantwvParticipantScott Covington. Martz benched him in 2002 after just 5 attempts. He was sacked twice and completed 2 for 7 yards.
Brock Berlin made it through a whole game in 2007. Though, with a qb rating of 60.6.
You’ve always been a Berlin-sniffer. Brock Sterling Berlin was CUT by the Hamburg Sea Devils.
Covington, who, for three years, was third string behind Akili Smith and Scott Mitchell in Cincy, appeared in three whole games. Completing FOUR of FIVE passes. For 23 yards. He also ran the ball twice for minus 4 yards.
And that is totally ignoring his time as an Argo-naut.

vwvParticipantA.I.
“Brandon Aiyuk appeared to mock 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan on social media with cryptic racing-themed Instagram posts: âYou can’t win the race if you crash outâ and âKeep yo head up and stay in yo own lane / You gone winâ—
A.I.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan explained that he was not actively using his phone, but it had been resting on his lap before sliding off and getting stuck between the seats.
Explaining the Phone Incident
Stated he was going 20 miles per hour on Alma Street in Palo Alto on July 14.
Claimed he was not on his phone talking or texting when the accident happened.
Said the phone slid off his lap and got stuck in the seats.
Admitted he looked down for two seconds to find it, taking his eyes off the road.Noted that as he was coming back up, the airbags deployed and hit his face.
Correcting the Accident Report
Refuted an inaccurate public database claim suggesting the other driver was at fault.
Took full responsibility, stating his car veered into the other lane because he was looking for his phone.wvParticipantMarxist David Harvey
âThis is what the bourgeois political economists have done: they have treated value as a fact of nature, not a social construction arising out of a particular mode of production. What Marx is interested in is a revolutionary transformation of society, and that means an overthrow of the capitalist value-form, the construction of an alternative value-structure, an alternative value-system that does not have the specific character of that achieved under capitalism. I cannot overemphasize this point, because the value theory in Marx is frequently interpreted as a universal norm with which we should comply. I have lost count of the number of times I have heard people complain that the problem with Marx is that he believes the only valid notion of value derives from labor inputs. It is not that at all; it is a historical social product. The problem, therefore, for socialist, communist, revolutionary, anarchist or whatever, is to find an alternative value-form that will work in terms of the social reproduction of society in a different image. By introducing the concept of fetishism, Marx shows how the naturalized value of classical political economy dictates a norm; we foreclose on revolutionary possibilities if we blindly follow that norm and replicate commodity fetishism. Our task is to question it.â
â David Harvey,wvParticipantAint it illegal in Calif to be using a cell phone when yer driving? No citation for Shanahan.
—————————–
NBCThe San Francisco coach was involved in a head-on collision with another driver on July 14 in Palo Alto, CA and, as NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco reported Saturday, suffered numerous injuries, including a concussion, broken ribs, a broken nose and a broken hand.
Public records from the California Crash Reporting System, a statewide database of collisions, show the accident occurred at 6:12 p.m. PT at Alma Street and Hamilton Avenue after a 21-year-old woman made an unsafe turn while driving a Mercedes SUV in the opposite direction on a four-lane, 25-mph street. (h/t the San Francisco Chronicle’s Noah Furtado and Eric Branch)
Shanahan was driving south on Alma Street, while the other driver was headed north.
The records also show that Shanahan was holding and using a cellphone at the time, which authorities listed as a factor in the accident, but stated that he was not at fault for the wreck.
According to the database, neither Shanahan nor the woman were found to have been drinking, and both parties were wearing seat belts.
Palo Alto police Lt. Nicholas Martinez told the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday that the officers who responded to the accident did not issue any citations or suspect either driver of being impaired and that both parties remained at the scene and cooperated with police.
What local authorities believe led to 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan’s car accident
wvParticipantBomani and friend talkin about zooey’s issue on the Shanahan wreck.
“shenanigans at play”Also talk bout Aaron Donald but i aint listened to that part.
wvParticipantThere are creatures on this planet who are not destroying the entire biosphere.
wvParticipantApparently there’s this long-running game called Madden. And apparently getting a 99 score is a big deal. Marshall Faulk got a 99 in 2002.
Kurt Warner, Orlando Pace, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Steven Jackson, Cooper Kupp — never made 99
Aaron Donald has the all-time 99 record in Madden. 7 times a 99. Peyton Manning had 6. Ray Lewis 5. Some other notables: Mahomes 4. JJ Watt 4. Champ Bailey 4 Jonathan Ogden 4.
Here are the 99s in Madden this year:
JaMarr Chase
Trey McBride
JSN
Josh Allen
Stafford
Myles GarrettFull list of 99s

vwvParticipantThis was not a good play.
wvParticipantThis took an interesting turn.
wvParticipantI read a Florio article this morning saying that the Shanahan situation is a failure of journalism because nobody reported it until the team made an announcement, even though it happened on the 14th.
And I got to thinking, âWhy would the 9ers want to keep this out of the media for so long?â
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think thereâs more to this story.
My own conspiracy theory is that people just missed it. I mean why would anyone ‘cover up’ the fact he was in a wreck? I mean, it had to come out sometime so why would anyone agree to cover it up for a few days?
Also, Epstein didnt kill himself.
w
vwvParticipantThey forgot Case Keenum, Austin Davis, and Kellen Clemens.
They are in the vid, just not the last vignette.
w
vwvParticipantAccording to Schrodinger, Donald at this point both is and is not coming back.
Is that the new Quantum Analytics? And how does that explain McVay abandoning the run in the Bears game?
w
vwvParticipantIf nothing else watch the last three or four minutes of that Rams QB vid. Clips of the not-so-great ram-qbs. Jamie Martin. Steve Dils. Pete Beathard.(omg), Gus Frerotte, Steve Bono, Mark Rypien, Dan Pastorini, Jeff Rutledge, Carson Wentz, Nick Foles, Sean Mannion, Brock Berlin, SCott Covington, Brett Rypien (who?), Jimmy Garoppolo, Baker Mayfield, Bryce Perkins, John Wolford….
I am not sure…but i think Brock Berlin may have been the worst of all of em.

vwvParticipantAndrew Brandt@AndrewBrandt
Packers financials â the only snapshot we see of NFL finance â show a $453 million distribution to every team from the NFL. $453 million. Before adding one cent of local or stadium revenue.For perspective, the player Salary Cap is $300 million. What a business these owners have.What does that mean? Does that mean each club makes 453 million per year, but they pay out 300 million per year?
And how much do the Packers make on “local or stadium revenue” ?
w
vwvParticipantThis hit my feed today:
Rams FULL QB History…
That was awesome. Didn’t realize Everett had a losing record. 46-59. I would have guessed it was more like the reverse of that.
The Cleveland Ram years are so…unknown to me. I know just what was in the vid, but thats not much. I wish there were more vids of that era. I wonder how many Cleveland people remember or care about the Cleveland Ram years.
Two Quarterbacks from one team make the pro-bowl the same year. Van Brocklin and Waterfield. I bet that never happens again.
w
vwvParticipantRams secondary. Colts WR.
wvParticipant“…Shanahan informed his assistant coaches of his accident on Tuesday; other players slowly have been getting the news that the 49ers confirmed today…”
Obviously the electro-magnetic fields from the 49ers-substation are growing more powerful.
w
vwvParticipantI didnât like him even then…
Granted McVay had a bit of that in how he handled Goff from 2019 through 2020 but I actually believe Sean learned from that and adjusted his approach to team controversies.
So that, fwiw, is my contribution to the Rams new uniform discussion.
âŠ.
I liked the old St.Louis uniforms. The ones where the slashing gold horns had blood on them.

https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2005/09/15/rams-exec-faces-rebuke-for-threat/…”It’s shocking that he would leave a message like that,” Rams president John Shaw told the Post-Dispatch. “It’s the type of behavior that we don’t condone at any level. He will be reprimanded, and it will be handled internally.”
On Aug. 28, sports columnist Bernie Miklasz wrote that he was disturbed by “infighting and politics” within the Rams organization and said executives owe any head coach their support.
“Be it (Mike) Martz or another man, I don’t care who sits in the head coach’s office at Rams Park. The head coach should be backed, not back-stabbed, by associates,” Miklasz wrote.
Suleiman left a message on Miklasz’s voice mail, stating, in part, “Tell your source that I’m not a back-stabber, I’m a (expletive) throat slasher, and he’ll know the difference before it’s all said and done.”
Suleiman, director of football administration, has worked for the Rams for six years. He assists president of football operations Jay Zygmunt on salary cap issues and contract negotiations.
wvParticipantAnd this paved the way for Jay Zygmunt to prove Dick Vermeil was a bad coach by hiring him to coach the Rams.
I feel like Zygmunt was ok as Vice President. But then as senior executive grand imperial vice president things went off track.
Wiki
“…Zygmunt was hired by the Los Angeles Rams in 1982 as a general counsel.[1]
He was promoted to vice president in 1988,
senior vice president in 1991, and
executive vice president in 1996……In 1999, Zygmunt was given a game ball by coach Dick Vermeil. Vermeil said in an interview, “You know who’s got the lousiest job in this building? Jay Zygmunt…
…Zygmunt was promoted to President of Football Operations.[4] In 2006, he became their general manager, succeeding Charley Armey, while retaining his position of President of Football Operations.[5] Though the team compiled an 8â8 record that year, the Rams declined in the following seasons, winning just five of thirty-two games in the next two years.[6] He resigned following a 2â14 record in 2008.”
wvParticipantPropagandopolis has some websites in the usual places. I enjoy seeing all the various propaganda posters.
One of my favorites on this page is the ‘Mary in outer space’ one.
wvParticipantI only intended to watch about two minutes of this. But it intrigued me.
This translator of the Odyssey is inter esting. She is ‘well known for choosing the word ‘complicated’….“you are always wrestling with something that is fundamentally impossible”
wvParticipantToo bad he didnât live long enough to film âThe Funny Baby Lolita Iguana.â
Live long enough?
Well, lets not get into the whole “Rosenbloom didnt really hang himself in the ocean” thing again.
At any rate the leadership of Doctor of Philanthropy Georgia Frontiere (Miss St.Louis 1926) began. And the golden age of Dominic (husband 7), Shaw and Zygmunt dawned.
w
v
“in 2008, the Rams partnered with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to host “Georgia’s Drive Fore the Kids”, a golf tournament to honor Frontiere and benefit the charity.[29]Sixth Street, between Convention Plaza and Washington, outside of the Edward Jones Dome, is now known as “Georgia’s Way” to memorialize Frontiere.[30]
Frontiere was awarded an honorary doctor of philanthropy from Pepperdine University”
wvParticipantWell, Sports Illustrated has weighed in, and ranked all 32 teamsâ uniforms for 2026.
Guess where the Rams rank:
Damn.
They have the Bengals in the top five, so they are clearly unqualified to judge anything.w
vTop and Bottom RankingsNo.
1: Los Angeles Chargers (praised for their iconic powder blue look)
2: San Francisco 49ers (noted for their classic gold helmets and traditional style)
3: Dallas Cowboys
4: Baltimore Ravens
5: Cincinnati Bengals (highlighted for their modern stripe design)31: New York JetsNo.
32: Los Angeles Rams (ranked last despite recent offseason updates)wvParticipantThe original blue and white unis used navy blue, not royal blue. Thatâs why they look âoffâ. Rosenbloom liked the darker blue and white because the sharp contrast looked better on the black and white TV sets of the 1960s (which most people had) than the royal blue and yellow. In 73 they switched back to blue and yellow because color TVs became the norm.
Yeah, i forgot about that. Rosenbloom was ‘America’s Overalls King.’ The man knew uniforms.

=====================
Rosenbloom WIKI
…By 1959, Blue Ridge had grown to include almost a dozen shirt and overall companies and 7,000 employees, leading some to dub Rosenbloom “America’s Overalls King.”[4] In the financial interests of his family, Rosenbloom decided to sell the company to P & R, the price being $7 million in cash and more than $20 million in stock. At P & R, Rosenbloom served as a director.[2]…….Rosenbloom was one of the largest individual shareholders in Seven Arts Productions Limited, which backed the Broadway musical Funny Girl, and the films Lolita, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, and The Night of the Iguana.[2]
