The headline still cracks me up.

So a bunch of zillionaires are having an argument about how they are splitting the dinner check.

My heart bleeds equally for all of them.

Surely the prosecution can get around that, though, by referring to them as “fatalities” or “Killed person #1” or something.

I agree with all of that. I’ve always like Woods, going back to USC, and I was elated the Rams got him. He is not flashy, but he is just the complete package. He does everything well, and he gets after it. He is as reliable as they come. I am really glad they extended him.

I don’t know what it is about Kupp. I should love that guy more than I do. For some reason, I’ve just never been able to believe what I’m seeing with him. The guy is always open. He always catches it, and then – even though he is completely surrounded – he spins and makes an extra 6 yards to pick up the first down, or score. It’s almost like I just have trouble believing it for some reason. I think I also fear he’s going to break again, like he did in 2018. I’m afraid to fall in love with him because I fear he will break my heart. If Kupp goes, there goes the season.

I think Jefferson has improved, too, and I think he will be even better next year. Seems to me that Year Three is when WRs max out.

The OL is the best the Rams have had since I dunno when.

Praying the offense stays healthy. Give these guys another 10 games together, and I will gladly ride with this team into January. They are right up there statistically, and it’s very obvious they haven’t clicked yet. Their ceiling is much higher.

The defense is more concerning. Hopefully, they too will gel, but the secondary seems rickety to me. Rapp seems more like a box guy. Reminds me of Archuleta a bit, actually. And their unbelievable depth has eroded with all the solid players going elsewhere for better pay. I have hopes for Rochelle, but Long is “Not For,” I don’t think. And I’m concerned about holding up against Derrick Henry.

That match-up with TN is going to tell us a lot about the Rams ability to stop the run. Biggest test to date, isn’t it? That’s also a Big Reunion date: Janoris Jenkins, Roger Saffold, Josh Reynolds, Sam Ficken.

Sounds like a mistrial before it starts, but I don’t know anything about it.

Looks like there are 5 teams in the NFC, and the Saints, Seahawks, and 49ers, are not among them.

Looks to me like this is the Rams wanting to extend some guys, and looking to see where they can clear space, and giving away a player to create cap room to keep somebody who is harder to replace.

So this is “(Kenny Young and a 7th) for a (6th and room to keep somebody else).”

Matthew Stafford officially surpassed John Elway today with his 3 TD passes, and now has the 12th most of all-time with 301.

May as well go and catch Eli, Big Ben and Matt Ryan next!

Did you see that Brady hit his 600th TD pass yesterday?

Stafford is already halfway to Brady’s total in only his 13th year.

Well, the plain fact is that I don’t really care, and if I was just entering the internet today, I would probably choose a different handle. I made that choice in 1998, and I made it without a lot of thought. It just came to mind because I was trying to think of something “literary,” and I had probably recently re-read the book, or skimmed the closest bookshelf for ideas, or something.
