ZooeyModeratorJesus Christ.
Some things that get said are just breath-taking.
ZooeyModeratorAs you well know, newspapers are compromised, too. But if they eventually fold, we are in serious trouble. The only kind of news we will have anymore will be crap like Crossfire (if that is even still a thing).
ZooeyModeratorToub sounds intriguing. After reading that article he’d be my first choice but if the Rams are looking to make a splash with a big name then he probably doesn’t have much of a chance. I seriously hope that Kroenke understands that winning football games will do more for the viability of his franchise than recognizable names or the flavor of the day.
• Kyle Shanahan, Falcons offensive coordinator: The best of the available hot-shot coordinators, Shanahan has revamped the Falcons’ offense to cater to the strengths of Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. Ryan’s similarities to Jared Goff would make Shanahan the best possible option to groom the Rams’ young quarterback, which should be a top priority. Perhaps he’d bring his dad, Mike, and his Super Bowl ring along, too.
This is why I prefer Shanahan to McDaniels. Shanahan has the ability to adapt his offense to the players he has. This is exactly what McDaniels couldn’t/wouldn’t do that caused him to fail in St. Louis.
Nice acorn you posted there. Got it right this time. Shanahan sounds like a better fit.
FWIW, I don’t think Kroenke will go for sizzle over steak with this hire, though it wouldn’t surprise me if he is watching the reactions to the names as they pop up in the media. There is a ways to go, of course, since the Rams can’t interview some of these guys for quite a while yet. In any event, with Spanos probably moving in, the Rams have to win. He wants to be the Top Dog in his stadium.
ZooeyModeratorI really enjoy TJDS.
Jimmy Dore is a hoot. I get that he’s a comedian, but he’s only pretty spot on.
I mean he doggedly jumped on DAPL. He gets most importantly the DEAL about WHY it’s not okay to give in to corporatist, warmongering DLC Dems because the Reps are nightmares.
For a comedian, he’s more clear about the mission of the fourth estate than almost anyone in the MSM.
Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind that comedians do more accurate reporting than the MSM these days?
I bet if you could get most of the MSM celebrity types alone at the office party, you would hear them admit it, too. There are probably a few arrogant prats who think they still are doing 4th Estate work, but I bet most of them know they aren’t.
Everybody saw what happened to Dan Rather. They know what they are doing, and what has happened to the system.

ZooeyModeratorYeah, I’ve started to catch up on the Syria story, and these two videos about sum it up.
Here we are supplying, training, and financing ISIS and al-Qaeda in Syria. I mean…that fact alone ought to just discredit the US government.
It will be interesting to see what happens under Trump. If there is a silver lining of any kind whatsoever in a Trump presidency, it is the probability that he will ratchet down the Syrian conflict and the confrontation with Russia generally. We will see if the president actually has any control over foreign policy, I guess.
ZooeyModeratorYeah, that feeling is mutual. No interest.
ZooeyModeratorI love NYC. One of my favorite cities in the world.
If I were in my 20s, single, and had some money/income, I’d live in NYC.
ZooeyModeratorAw the little professors don’t like being called out for wasting classroom time spouting their personal political beliefs. Too bad. So not sad.
IMO, any college who hides behind “tolerance” to eliminate real free speech should have its federal student loan program revoked. No free speech zones or sensitivity safe campuses. Return to what free speech is all about. Just like this forum. We can disagree with each other here. We may not like what someone else says, but we can agree to disagree.
Well, it CAN’T be free speech if you are threatening to take money away from the program.
The problem is – who decides what is “hiding behind tolerance?” Because the people in charge of determining that are necessarily going to be political.
December 21, 2016 at 12:25 pm in reply to: Bonsignore tweets: Chargers may rebrand if they move to LA #61425ZooeyModeratorI don’t think he will do it. He would lose more fans than he would gain doing that.
ZooeyModeratorI am the same way.
If the Rams don’t beat SF, I will.
December 20, 2016 at 10:40 am in reply to: NYT: All This Talk of Voter Fraud? Across U.S., Officials Found Next to None #61363ZooeyModeratorThis Post-Truth understanding is important. And I don’t see any way whatsoever to tackle this problem.
December 17, 2016 at 11:38 am in reply to: Bleacher Report on coaching changes, says the Rams are targeting McDaniel #61262ZooeyModeratorI believe zn is right on McDaniels. An asshole is an asshole.
He may recognize some errors he made in Denver, but assholes will just make errors in new ways even if they don’t make the same error twice. It is a character thing, and I don’t want him with the Rams.
ZooeyModeratorI have had it. I will not watch another Rams game for several days.
ZooeyModeratorI know that Quinn went on IR today, but that article is from when he went on IR last year. The rams didn’t play the bears this year. Unless there was a game you all kept secret from me. Also, TJ isn’t on IR, Cunningham is on IR.
I heard that Fisher isn’t head coach anymore, either.
ZooeyModeratorAnd preseason football has begun.
ZooeyModeratorBiggest mismatch of the year according to Vegas.
Seattle -16.
ZooeyModeratorAs long as we are sacking people, Williams and Fassel are the only ones I’d keep. Maybe Waffle, but I can’t tell how much there is talent, and how much coaching. The DL underperformed along with every other unit that didn’t involve kicking the damn ball.
December 15, 2016 at 12:37 pm in reply to: how many of these movies have you seen? an arbitrary list #61122ZooeyModeratorI will be watching Cool Hand Luke again tomorrow.
It’s part of the final on the anti-hero/huck finn unit. CHL is a great anti-hero. And all that messianic imagery makes it great for English lit types.
December 14, 2016 at 11:26 pm in reply to: how many of these movies have you seen? an arbitrary list #61110ZooeyModeratorNo swimming pools in Kurosawa.
December 14, 2016 at 11:10 pm in reply to: how many of these movies have you seen? an arbitrary list #61108ZooeyModeratorI have seen 7 Samurai, and Ran, and Rashomon.
I liked them all.
ZooeyModeratorThis is from my brother, who is not a football fan. He’s ranting here about his favorite basketball team. In the process he says something interesting.
They have lost to virtually every basement dweller in the league so far, yet they manage to beat the upper echelon teams. You know what they say….. A consistent winning team has good players. A consistent losing team has bad players. An inconsistent team has bad management.
So….Stan should spend a frillion dollars on technology to bring Dick Vermeil back from the dead?
December 14, 2016 at 9:41 pm in reply to: how many of these movies have you seen? an arbitrary list #61103ZooeyModeratorSeen 19 of them only.
My favorites:
Chinatown
Fargo
Cool Hand Luke
Showgirls
The HustlerZooeyModeratorI heard from one source that Hekker’s mother spent a wild weekend with Massey.
ZooeyModeratorDuring his entire tenure the majority of his offensive acquisitions whether via FA or the draft just didn’t perform.
See I don’t see it that way. They had several years worth of combined OL injuries and qb injuries and melt downs which meant being stuck with #2 caliber qbs. I can’t think of any team that has been effective under those conditions.
Okay, but I agree that this year’s performance crossed the pale, don’t you? There were not a lot of injuries this year, and the O is ranked dead last, and they are ALL Fisher acquisitions. Except Saffold, I think, who was already here. And maybe Kendricks.
ZooeyModeratorI cant imagine Goff being able to do much against Seattle,
in Seattle.I think it will be another nationally televised beat-down.
Seahawks 34
Rams 13w
v13?
Pretty optimistic, there, I would say.
ZooeyModeratorEnh. I don’t buy most of this stuff. I see a lot of hyperbole about Fisher. He seems to set some people off.
To me he’s an ordinary story—another good coach whose team didn’t turn the corner and he took the hit.
…
That is the way he goes down in my scrapbook.
ZooeyModeratorAndy Reid? Way to dream big there, Pa.
I wish Jeff Fisher had been more like Chuck Knoll. You know, with his 4 Super Bowl victories in 6 years…
That is the kind of spelling I expect from spellingly deficient science types who spell stuff like H2OS04.
By the way, the Trojans are going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Happy Valley. Cappy.
ZooeyModeratorLast week, I said the Rams needed better numbers on sacks and turnovers.
I don’t think I was specific enough.
I mean the Rams need to take away the ball from Seattle, and sack Wilson.
ZooeyModerator
Hee come the Contextistas to enter the fight.
Special shout out to Ag…think I have it
Great still shot.
Help! was always one of my favorite movies.
