wvParticipantwvParticipantwvParticipantI had a feeling he would come back last year. And then last year came and went, and i finally accepted that he was never coming back. And now this.
I dont know what to expect from AD, but I’d be very happy with a B+ version of the old game-wrecker.
It will be interesting to see how many plays they use him. 20 plays a game would be fine with me.

Carolina cut Miles Davis, btw.

vwvParticipantMan, when the Mc/Snead regime decides to fix something, they sure do fix it.
That is so true.
Its especially apparent when you look around the NFL and see some teams who seem to have the same problem(s) every year, whether its QB(Clev) or defense(Cincy) or Everything(Ariz) or, whatever.

Teams with the most fumbles in 2025:Seahawks – 26…
Teams with the fewest:
…Rams – 11
Thats inter esting. One hopes there is not some sort of regression-to-the-mean for both teams. I dunno if I’m using that term right, but ya know.
Kyren was on my sht-list because of his fumbling, but i have to say, he did ok last year. 2 fumbles I think.
Darnold had 11 fumbles with 6 lost.
Stafford had 7.w
vwvParticipantLove this move with TuTu. The offense needed a player who could stretch the defense. And he won’t cost $10 mil like last time.
As an aside, I haven’t been here in a couple of years (selling my home and moving to a new area). I cannot find a new post button. Can someone give this old man some some pointers?
Thanks in advance.
OzHi Oz. Yeah, for 1 million Tutu is a steal. He’ll make 4 or 5 huge plays this year.

vwvParticipantWicker Man. 1973. Christopher Lee.
An unusual folk horror-ish film. I’m a little surprised the producers were allowed to get away with this one. I’m sure there was a lot of pushback from the moral-majority-types.
I liked it.
(according to the bonus-feature on the dvd, the goat in the scene was nervous and urinated on the martyr.)

August 28, 2026 at 2:14 pm in reply to: Game thread, Chargers game (NFL network, 7 pt, 10 et) #165647wvParticipantLet’s send Simpson back in time to the 99 super bowl. When Warner gets it to Bruce on the game winning TD pass, he stands in there and takes a hit. Simpson on that play would have the ability to avoid the hit, move, and still make the throw.
You’ve gone off the deep end.
Thats ok, though.
w
vAugust 28, 2026 at 7:48 am in reply to: Game thread, Chargers game (NFL network, 7 pt, 10 et) #165637wvParticipant… quick release, good short and mid-range accuracy, and very rapid mental processing. The latter being the key to it all. They process things fast.
.Well thats what they say. The mental thing is sposed to be high level.
But until i see it against NFL defenses who have had time to study him, I will remain agnostic.
Definitely a promising prospect at QB. …He’s no Rueben Bain, though. He’s no Lemon.
w
vAugust 28, 2026 at 7:26 am in reply to: Game thread, Chargers game (NFL network, 7 pt, 10 et) #165635wvParticipantLooks like the Rams have more depth this year than in the past. So, i assume their practice squad will be emptied out as other teams jump on the players.
w
vAugust 28, 2026 at 7:08 am in reply to: Game thread, Chargers game (NFL network, 7 pt, 10 et) #165634wvParticipantTy Simpson did some things I havent seen a Ram QB do since…oh, Tony Banks, maybe. The kid impressed me. He’s got some speed. Some poise. Some ability to throw on the run. Seems to have good command of the offense. No bonehead plays. Very green, but Definitely better than Stetson Bennett, or at least he will be soon.
Question for me is still can he do it from the Pocket. If he was two inches taller he’d have been a top ten pick.
Reminded me a bit of Purdy.
I did not like the uniform-color clash of the two teams. Rams and Chargers have two of the best uniforms in the NFL and for some reason both of them together on the field looked bad. Is their some scientific explanation for this?
w
vwvParticipantWhile I really disliked the Atwell pick when the Rams drafted him, I grew to appreciate the role that he played for the Rams. Barring injuries to other players, I won’t expect him to see the field much, but I’m glad that he’s back.
Maybe it means they werent crazy about the WRs they had on the roster. I would think Whittington or Mumpfield is getting cut?
w
vwvParticipantCostas on the money thing in Baseball.
wvParticipantCowherd noted that the Saints and the Lions have two of the easiest schedules this year. He picked them both to win their divisions.
w
vwvParticipant“…The Rams will take on $1.075 million of Atwell’s contract for this season, marking a difference of nearly $9 million from what they paid him last year. They will incur a cap hit of around $250,000 from Hunter’s deal as part of the trade.
==========================Damn. Thats fine by me.

vwvParticipantcapitalism continues consolidating the onslaught
wvParticipantThis team has looked like the team to beat since the McDuffie trade. The Watson signing and the Garrett trade just put a cherry on top.
And Aaron Donald is coming back, too, so there’s that.
I still think its 50/50 whether he actually comes back. I also think its 50/50 whether he is still a game-wrecker even if he does come back. I also think its 50/50 whether he can ‘hold up’ over the course of a season, even if he is still a game-wrecker.
Having said that. IF he is still A.D. And if Myles is still Myles. And if Young and Turner enter their prime. And if Poona is still a run-stuffing-machine. And if Fiske is in the rotation. …well…Am i just a crazy-ram-homer, or could that be the best DLine in NFL history? Thats gotta be crazy, right?
We aint allowed to have that.
w
vwvParticipantIn 99 they had the historically-easy schedule. It was even easier than the Pats schedule last year.
If they were to win it this year, they would be overcoming a historically-hard schedule. At least on paper, as of right now, its an ungodly schedule.
Hopefully, there will be some plane crashes, tsunamis, and maybe spontaneous combustions that work down the opposition.
w
vwvParticipant“…Think of the sad, empty days from 2000 through to probably 2017 when Rams drafting was sometimes downright awful though mostly was just mediocre. Name another team that completely wasted 2 #2 picks in the 1st round in the space of 5 years on complete busts…”
Has McSnead ever had a Below-Average personnel-year ? By personnel-year i mean Draft + Trades + Free-Agency.
Have they ever had a lousy off-season ?
I keep waiting for them to have a truly miserable draft, but it aint happened. So often in the past i remember this or that GM being anointed a ‘genius’ and then they invariably had a terrible personnel-year. Maybe this is that year for Snead — maybe Myles Garrett is a bum. Maybe he’s one of them 9-year-wonders.

vwvParticipant1,712 former NFL players died from 2008 to 2021.
About 20 percent of those players’ brains were studied. Of those 338, CTE was diagnosed in 315.
Yes, 93.2 percent of those studied brain donors had CTE.
It’s difficult to overstate how concerning that is.
======================================I cant believe any parent would let their kid play football anymore.

wvParticipantDwight Freeney talks about AD.
wvParticipantSo, should an NFL player, on the Rams practice squad making, say, 50,000 dollars or whatever,
be able to go back to school and play for 700,000 dollars for Notre Dame or UCLA ?I dont got a problem with it.

The “criminal tools” is the only point of interest in this story for me, and this is all I have found so far (The Athletic):I have never even heard of a ‘criminal tool’ statute. If the A.I. thingy below is correct then i suppose a plastic baggie could be a criminal tool. Or a condom. Or a bazooka.

A.I.
Legal Elements of the Charge
To be convicted of possessing criminal tools under laws like Ohio’s criminal code, prosecutors generally must prove three things:You had a substance, device, instrument, or article in your possession or control.
The item was either designed for criminal use or commonly used for criminal purposes under suspicious circumstances.
You held the item with the specific intent (purpose) to use it to commit a crime

wvParticipantI hadn’t thought of this aspect of the college NIL-money-thing. Borderline NFL players will now be going BACK to college to get NIL money.
