I think they should keep signing all-pros.

Agree completely with all that, especially the line I quote.

Though…having said that, the “arthritic condition” story is still not solid fact. Basically it’s one reporter from a reputable journal (The Athletic) who cites a “source.”

Not easily dismissed. But also too soon to take it as established fact.

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

The Rams had a ton of good luck as far as being free from major injuries last year. Which was one reason they made to the super bowl, of course.

But still one wonders if things would have turned out differently if Cooper Kupp and and a healthy Gurley had showed up to face the Pats.

Gurley’s “aggravation” certainly is a tricky problem. It affects the draft, free agency, and Snead’s general plan. How can Snead plan for the future, if he doesnt really know how fast the ‘aggravation’ is going to deteriorate? Does Gurley have one good year left? Less than one? More than one? Will he ever be the same? Doesnt sound like anyone knows.

Well it was obvious he was playing ‘hurt.’ And allllll the celebrity-tv-pundits that blamed McVay for forgetting about Gurley, etc — are and were, idiots.

It was just so obvious.

I can understand the Rams and Gurley not wanting to confirm the situation to their opponents. But now, post-season, I cant understand why Gurley hasn’t come out and talked about it.

This “it wasn’t an injury, it was an aggravation” line is problematic.

What planet are you on, Z ? 🙂 Have you seen the reaction to all that stuff, by the rightwingers?

12 people on a jury. Gotta figure plenty of them would be rightwingers.

He aint goin to jail. He aint even gonna be put on trial. The system would worry too much about “tearing the country apart” etc, etc. The system will probly just hope he doesnt get re-elected. Let him ride off into the sunset. (and no he wont try to hold onto power)

Prostitution is often seen as a “victimless crime” but that’s certainly not true if human sex trafficking is involved. It will be interesting to see if Kraft knew about the sex trafficking. My guess is he did.

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

My wild-speculation is he didn’t want to know, so his brain allowed him not to know.
You know how human brains justify the unjustifiable.

Any society that has homeless people and billionaires is a fucked up society.

The fact that that is unclear to most Americans is a reflection of the depth of the fucked-up-ness of society.

You just said the Rams won’t win another Super Bowl.

No I said they would win a couple of them in the next few years.

Only a couple in the next few years?

And you call yourself a ram fan.

I’ve watched some media-vids. The usual pundits. I havent heard ‘too’ many idiotic things, but there is a general…oh…lack of nuance. I mean, yes, Belichick is a great coach, but its also true he cam within one bad call or one play of losing that Chief game. And young McVay’s team was right there with the Pats in the 4th quarter.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about playoff football, its that there just aint much separation among the teams. A play here, a play there, is always gonna be the difference. Playoff football is just like that. Usually. Unless you are the 85 Bears, etc.

I’m not even sure the Pats are the best team this year. If they played the Chiefs again, who would be favored?

I do think the Pats and Belichick have been the best over the last two decades, but the ‘separation’ in each individual year is never that much. Thats my point. The separation is very small. A play here, a play there. But man, they are the best at holding tight to that tiny separation. They’ve been doing it forever now. Same ole Patriots.
