wvParticipant… I don’t think he likes this pick, either, and if I was in Snead’s shoes, I wouldn’t have chose a QB that my head coach was not excited about. Especially when that head coach is the best coach in Rams history, and has already flirted with leaving.
I was wondering about that, too. I’m hoping that McVay has not already told the Rams that when Stafford retires, McVay will leave. ….maybe Snead chose Ty Simpson because he knows HE is the one who has to take the long view, cause McVay wont be there to pick up the pieces.
Just somethin i wondered about for a few seconds. Just wv-mind wandering. Or wondering. Or somethin.w
vwvParticipantSeattle guy reacts
Yup.
Thats Brock Huard. Former Huskie and Seahawk QB. I have watched too many Mike MacDonald interviews, so I’m familiar with Huard.
Obviously no-one knows how this will all turn out, and theres a gazillion permutations the Universe could spray around, but…as of today, this is my least favorite Rams pick since…well….maybe, ever. I may have a different view down the road, of course. I mean, I thought Kurt was a ridiculous choice at one time.
Right NOW, though, i just cant get past the thought that they could have had Lemon, Puka and Davante on the field against the Seahawks. I know Brock Huard was afraid of that.

vwvParticipantBreer: “…i think there’s a good chance if they dont take Simpson at 13, he falls all the way through the first round.”
wvParticipantApril 23rd was my birthday.
w
vA belated happy birthday to you. Sorry that an old wound was reopened.
I would feel a lot better about next year if M.Lemon were on this team.
Lemon is: 1) A sure thing. 2) A difference-maker for next season.
Ty Simpson is: 1) Not a sure thing. Actually, a huge roll of the dice. 2) Not a difference-maker next season.

vwvParticipantApril 23rd was my birthday. One year, for my birthday, I really really really wanted a plastic German Luger pistol. And instead, i got a plastic Winchester rifle. I was crestfallen.
Ty Simpson is a plastic Winchester rifle.
Sigh.

vwvParticipantSaw this on Yahoo: “New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel will miss Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft and plans to seek counseling amid the Dianna Russini scandal, according to a statement acquired by ESPN…”
w
vwvParticipant…if nothing else take a listen to the Onion guy give his speech at bout the 35 minute mark. He sounds like one of the good-guyz.
w
vwvParticipantThe Onion bought Alex Jones’ Info-Wars. Or did it. I dunno.
I get tired of using word ‘surreal.’ But…ya know.
wvParticipant“too much science”
wvParticipantIf i were teaching a class on modern amerikan politics, i would have to include in the syllabus, a day or two covering pro wrestling and MMA.
April 17, 2026 at 8:06 am in reply to: new Rams draft thread…April (except WR stuff which has its own thread) #163308wvParticipantCC and JM just dont think this draft class is strong, in general.
CC thinks part of the reason is ‘blue state parents’ arent letting their kids play football.
wvParticipantApril 16, 2026 at 9:35 am in reply to: new Rams draft thread…April (except WR stuff which has its own thread) #163300wvParticipantThey do the Rams at 27:03 in. Jourdan Rodrique takes OT at the 13 spot: “McVay likes skill players….but If cooler heads prevail….”
April 15, 2026 at 5:31 pm in reply to: new Rams draft thread…April (except WR stuff which has its own thread) #163295wvParticipantThe Rams met with Caleb Douglas.
6’4. 205 Lbs. 4.39 speed.
Projected going tween 4th and 6th rounds.Footballguys: “Douglas is a towering receiver with good movement skills for his size. He has the versatility teams crave when rounding out a receiver room, playing both outside and in the slot, and impacting the passing game at all three depths. Vertically, he can outplay defensive backs in the air, translating as a red-zone threat. He transitions quickly and is comfortable after the catch. Douglas is worth watching throughout the draft process and is a legitimate threat to land on Day 2.”

vwvParticipant…Everything I know about fighting lizard men I owe to William Shatner..
Ha. That show aired in 1967. I dont remember it being THAT bad.
Makes one think about the evolution of fight scenes in cinema. From Gorn vs Kirk to…oh…fight between Jen and Shu Lien in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

wvParticipantI heard Rich Eisen talking about the sports biz and he said ‘we are all one now’, and i didnt know what he was talking about.
I guess the ESPN corp gobbled up the competition or somethin.
We are all One, now.

Feb 1, 2026
NFL, ESPN Merger FinalizedThe National Football League and Disney officially closed their deal to merge ESPN and NFL Media late Saturday, following final approval by the United States government. Now that the transaction is finalized, new details have emerged regarding the ramifications for fantasy football, NFL RedZone, and other previously league-owned services.
Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reported on Saturday night that government regulators had approved the billion-dollar deal between the NFL and Disney. Both parties officially closed on the deal in the final hours of January, which will create a domino effect that impacts both NFL Media and ESPN moving forward.
“The NFL and ESPN are pleased to announce the official closing of the sale of NFL Network and other NFL Media assets to ESPN. With the closing, we will begin integrating NFL employees into ESPN in the months ahead. As we look to the future, NFL fans can look forward to expanded NFL programming, greater access to NFL Network, innovative fantasy experiences and unparalleled coverage of America’s most popular sport.”

Moving forward, the NFL now owns a 10 percent stake in ESPN, while ESPN will take over control of NFL Network programming. Additionally, the NFL.com fantasy football service will be integrated into the current setup used for ESPN Fantasy Football.
This deal will also have several ramifications that impact the viewing experience for football fans. Under the new agreement, ESPN will now televise 28 NFL games per season. However, there will be no more Monday Night Football doubleheaders for ESPN and ABC; the broadcasting rights for those four doubleheader games will move to NFL Network, which is now owned and operated by ESPN.
Importantly, ESPN will also be distributing NFL RedZone to its satellite and cable operators. However, per a press release by the network, the NFL will “continue to own, operate and produce” the RedZone channel and the league retains the digital distribution rights to NFL RedZone.
NFL Network will continue to air seven games per season, while the league has “taken back the rights” to four international games that it will put up for bid. All of this will go into effect ahead of the 2026 NFL season, kicking off in September.
Moving forward, ABC Inc. owns a 72 percent stake in ESPN, with 18 percent owned by Hearst and 10 percent owned by the NFL. The billion-dollar deal is widely expected to save team owners millions of dollars in operating costs while bringing in new revenue sources by selling the rights to the four acquired international games and cutting spending for NFL Media.

Calls it a ‘luxury pick’ though.
wvParticipantToo bad Jared Verse doesn’t come with an “off” switch.
I didnt watch that one, (just cant stomach Rome) but i can tell you I’ve watched several Verse vids and come away thinking he is not as mature as I’d hoped.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantDo you know what an ‘idol’ is?
K Pop.
wvParticipantI would not take Tyson in the first round. But he’s probably the most ‘dangerous.’
wvParticipantMe: one of the reporters in this alleged story was Russini.
“My favorite Sean McVay story is that one time…
Why do we not have a drunken brawl thread ?
w
vwvParticipantThis made me laugh
wvParticipantEagles add another WR, i see.
==========
A.I.
The Philadelphia Eagles acquired WR Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers for a 2026 fifth-round pick and 2027 sixth-round pick. Wicks, 24, is signing a one-year, $12.5 million extension through 2027. This marks the third WR addition recently, joining Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore, amid uncertainty surrounding A.J. Brown’s futureApril 10, 2026 at 8:16 am in reply to: new Rams draft thread…April (except WR stuff which has its own thread) #163221wvParticipantDanny Parkins and crew banter about the McSnead approach of trading away first round picks. Fwiw.
wvParticipantI don’t know who Diana Russini is.
All I know is there is some kinda small scandal with Mike Vrabel.
Do I want to know anything about this story? Can someone TL;DR it for me?
Shes a well-known sports-reporter-celebrity. Married. Spotted at resort with Mike Vrabel.
Its a bigger story than Iran, obviously.
w
vwvParticipantShould black (or any) athletes speak out on political issues…
“…Bill Rhoden’s book the 40 million dollar slave… had a chapter in that book where he talked about the conveyer belt, the money gets ahold of these players so young they are molded into being corporate pitch-men, its like a conveyer belt, they are handed over from job to job and by the time you get to the end you have a person who is a socially unconscious being who only exists to sell…”
