Here’s why the Rams will win Sunday.

Because the universe needs things to go like this.

Seattle beats Philadelphia in Seattle.

Then, Philadelphia beats the Rams in LA.

So next, LA beats Seattle in Seattle.

That’s what the universe wants. Seattle over Phil, Phil over LA, LA over Seattle.

It’s the perfect way for things to be. Do it any other way, and it’s possible to make sense of things. But not this way.

Fired the wardrobe lady after 10 years for stealing clothes. Just sad on so many levels, the saddest being someone having to accept that degrading treatment for 10 years to keep her job.

Her lawyers say she never stole clothes and can prove it. So who knows.

Yay.

If he was so good then how come he gets killed in The Dirty Dozen.

Sorry I am just being a hard-logic realist.

Wilson is playing better right now than he has at any point in his career. And the Seahawks added a probowl LT to the lineup since the last times the Rams faced them.

Why don’t you just move to Russia if you love the Seahawks so much.

Jami Cantor: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

A former wardrobe stylist at the NFL Network has accused several retired NFL players and a network executive of sexual misconduct in an amended lawsuit filed in court December 11.

Jami L. Cantor accused Eric Weinberger, who currently works as the president of The Ringer, of trying to sexually assault her on at least one occasion and sending sexually-explicit photos to her. She also accused on-air talent — Marshall Faulk, Eric Davis, Warren Sapp, Donovan McNabb, Heath Evans and Ike Taylor —
and at least one other employee at NFL Network of acting inappropriately in the workplace by sexually harassing and assaulting her on several occasions.

Cantor was hired at NFL Network in 2006, but was fired after a decade of working there when she was accused of stealing clothes.

Cantor was hired in 2006 and worked at the NFL Network’s studio in Culver City. Part of her job duties included building a closet full of clothes that on-air talent wore during shows on the network, her lawsuit said. She filed an amended complaint in Los Angeles Superior County on December 11 against several former NFL players, the president of a sports media group and NFL Enterprises, as first reported by Bloomberg.

During the time that Cantor worked as a wardrobe stylist at the network, Weinberger sent her “several nude pictures of himself and sexually explicit texts,” she said in her lawsuit. Cantor also accused Weinberger of telling her that she “was put on earth to pleasure (him),” adding that he once pressed his crotch against her shoulder and asked her to touch it.

During the time that Cantor worked as a wardrobe stylist at the network, Weinberger sent her “several nude pictures of himself and sexually explicit texts,” she said in her lawsuit. Cantor also accused Weinberger of telling her that she “was put on earth to pleasure (him),” adding that he once pressed his crotch against her shoulder and asked her to touch it.

The amended lawsuit obtained by Deadspin, goes into far greater detail on the sexual misconduct allegations.

Cantor alleges that Faulk, the former running back for the St. Louis Rams, asked her “deeply personal and invasive questions” about her sex life on numerous occasions. She claims that Faulk asked her what her favorite sex position was, whether she was into oral sex and if she dated black men. She also accused Faulk in the lawsuit of fondling her breasts and groping her butt.

“Instead of saying good morning, Mr. Faulk greeted (Cantor) by fondling her breasts and groping her behind,” the lasuire said. “As time went on, Mr. Faulk became more aggressive, such as inviting (Cantor) to his hotel room, stroking and pulling out his genitals in front of her, pointing to his crotch and asking Plaintiff, ‘when are you gonna get on this already?’” the lawsuit said. “He also pinned (Cantor) against a wall, demanding oral sex while he pulled his pants down.”

In the amended lawsuit, Evans, who played fullback for the New England Patriots, is accused of propositioning Cantor multiple times for sex and “repeatedly making lewd overtures.” Cantor said that Evans sent nude photos of himself to her “on at least two separate occasions.” She said in her lawsuit that Evans made several comments to her, including him saying that he “needed to get in (Cantor) deep and hard.”

Davis, a former cornerback for the San Francisco 49ers, is accused of coming into Cantor’s office asking for help with his clothes “so he could grab and push/rub his body” against Cantor, the lawsuit said. She said that Davis said various other sexually-explicit comments, including things like: “I want you so bad,” “my cock is so hard because of you right now” and “you look like you would be an animal in the sheets.”

“I can’t handle your (butt), it is so luscious,” Cantor claimed that a text message sent to her from Davis said.

Cantor said that on at least one occasion, Davis said that he wanted to “choke” her from behind until she “begged him to stop.” Things continued to escalate between Davis and Cantor, according to the suit. Cantor claims that one time while she was working on the set in the studio on a ladder, he grabbed her butt, sliding his hand in between her legs and touching her private area.

Taylor, who played cornerback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is accused in the lawsuit of sending Cantor sexually explicit photos of himself and a video of him masturbating in the shower.

McNabb, who most notably played quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is accused in the suit of texting her explicit comments. Those include him allegedly asking her if she “was a squirter” and asking her to “CUM to dinner with him,” among other things.

Sapp, who played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was fired from the network for soliciting a prostitute in 2015, is accused of coming into the bathroom as Cantor was preparing a wardrobe and urinating in front of her despite her telling him to get out. According to the lawsuit, Sapp replied to Cantor: “Sorry mama, but your office shouldn’t be our shitter.”

Cantor also said that Sapp gifted her sex toys as Christmas gifts three-straight years and showed her nude images of women he’d slept with.

During the time that Cantor worked as a wardrobe stylist at the network, Weinberger sent her “several nude pictures of himself and sexually explicit texts,” she said in her lawsuit. Cantor also accused Weinberger of telling her that she “was put on earth to pleasure (him),” adding that he once pressed his crotch against her shoulder and asked her to touch it.

The amended lawsuit obtained by Deadspin, goes into far greater detail on the sexual misconduct allegations.

The lawsuit further alleges that the network failed to reimburse her for purchases she made on her personal credit card for clothes intended for employees at the network who she was assigned to dress. There was no wardrobe budget for the clothes she was supposed to purchase, which meant oftentimes she “had to use her own clothes” or “set up studio accounts with department stores using her own credit card to buy clothes for the talent.” She accused the network of often forcing her to work off the clock without pay, never given a meal and rest breaks.

Additionally, Cantor is seeking damages for her bosses’ failure to do anything regarding her concerns.

“Nothing was done in response to plaintiff’s complaints,” Cantor’s lawsuit alleges. “Instead, NFL made it more difficult for plaintiff to do her job by increasing her work load and cutting her hours.”

Cantor was fired from the network in October 2016 after she was accused of stealing clothing from another employee, although a video inside the studio shows that she took nothing, she said in her suit.

“If they would have looked at the video they would have seen that (Cantor) did not steal any clothes,” the lawsuit said. “Instead, NFL (Network) continues to use (Cantor’s) personal wardrobe items to dress their talent.”

A majority of those mentioned in the lawsuit didn’t return a request from Bloomberg for comment in the story about the lawsuit, but NFL Network spokesman Alex Riethmiller said that Faulk, Taylor and Evans have now been suspended from their duties as a full investigation into Cantor’s allegations has been launched by the network.

In response to the allegations against Weinberger, a Ringer spokesman released a statement saying that he’s on leave “indefinitely” as an internal investigation is conducted.

Cantor’s lawsuit against the former NFL players and network comes at a time when numerous sexual misconduct allegations against prominent figures have been made public. It started with dozens of women accusing Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of sexually harassing and assaulting them, which spurred the creation of the #MeToo hashtag. Since then, swarms of allegations have surfaced against many prominent people in Hollywood, media, politics, sports and more.

TIME Magazine named “The Silence Breakers,” those who broke their silence in their allegations against the prominent men, as its 2017 Person of the Year.
