    On the 9ers and JimmyG. Again, the 9ers are screwed on this.

    I won’t believe the “doubt” narrative on Lance until I see him flounder as the starter, or if the 9ers keep JG, and start him over Lance. I don’t believe the 9ers. This team had “unnamed sources” claiming the 9ers had received an offer of 2 first round picks for JG back in February. And I called BS on that at the time. That was bait for QB-needy teams to make a high offer. If anybody had offered that, he would have been traded already. The 9ers thought they could parlay him and reap a bounty. Didn’t happen.

    I think the 9ers are trying to increase his trade potential now by feigning reluctance to move him.

    In any event, JimmyG was emotionally “out of there” at the end of the season. He said “Goodbye” to all his teammates. He believes he is done there, and that is from a guy in the QB room with Lance all year long. This is not Joe Montana holding on in spite of sharing the QB room with Steve Young. JG has folded. He has packed his bags, and is waiting for the bus. It’s obviously possible they keep him, but Shanahan is going to have a hard time convincing him that he has confidence in him. The 9ers are a little bit broken right now.

    They probably have Cleveland as their #1 mark, and we will see what happens when the Watson punishment gets doled out. If Watson gets a short suspension, or none at all, the Browns are out of the JimmyG market. If he gets 10+ games, then…maybe they will kick the tires on JG. But the 9ers are running out of potential trade destinations, and the clock is running down.

    I think they are going to get very little or nothing for Garrapolo, or start the season with tension between QB and coaches. They’re screwed. Love to see it.

    I think SF was the only team that really played them close. The other 2 games were close because of inexplicable flukes and injuries.

    Interesting. Good points. But…we can’t overlook the fact that you disagreed with me. As if there was never going to be consequences.

    Well, when you go around saying on a Rams board that you think the Rams shouldn’t have won, you should expect some push back.

    Except for ARZ they were winning close games.

    Yes, and what I noticed re-watching them is that the Rams had the upper hand in the Bucs and 9ers games, but mistakes made those games closer than they should have been. The Bucs game took a parade of errors (2 Cam fumbles, a Kupp fumble, and a missed snap, all recovered by TB) to get them back into it. In the SF game, the Rams were dominating the ball, drove the length of the field, and had a deflected pass INT in the end zone. That was tighter than the Bucs game (which was really a blowout).

    The Super Bowl had the famous OPI that got CIN their only 2nd half play, and the Rams were without Woods, OBJ, Higbee, Mundt, and Blanton, and Akers was not 100%. They had Stafford and Kupp left.

    I think SF was the only team that really played them close. The other 2 games were close because of inexplicable flukes and injuries.

    That 27th ranking is just what you would expect after extending so many stars. A bunch of teams will have to give extensions and FA signings over the next couple of years, and they will leapfrog where the Rams are right now. Besides, the Rams are in their window for championships. Their future is now and the next 3 years or so.

    I, once again, watched zero minutes of college basketball this year.

    All I can say is that these 3 guys drafted first don’t look like they know how to shave.

    We knew that as soon as it was confirmed as an ACL.

    I am a fair weather basketball fan, so I don’t watch it a lot. I’m a Lakers fan, though, so I watch it more than you do.

    I don’t think I have ever seen Steph Curry play, but apparently he is good. I did not want the Warriors to win, but I hate the Celtics more. If I could have eliminated one team from each conference, I would have eliminated the two of them. They both made the finals. At that point, I had to side with the Warriors because I hate the Celtics.

    I did not see one single minute of the entire basketball season. I did, however, check my phone 5 or 6 times last night to track the score.

    Anything else you want to know about the NBA?

    Gurley would have been there if not for his knees. I would put Jerome Bettis above Gurley.

    I agree about the 9ers. I think the Cowboys and Eagles have more to prove than the 9ers do. And of all of the top teams mentioned, I think the Packers are the only team that clearly got worse. I think doubts about Trey Lance prevent me from ranking them #1, but I don’t think I would place them lower than #3.

    I dislike rankings anyway, and tend to think in “tiers,” but I would put SF in the top tier of teams.

    I dont like hearing that cash-rich football owners have an advantage. Even if its a slight advantage. Shouldnt be that way. I hope the NFL doesnt drift towards the travesty that MLB became. w v

    Maybe the comparatively “poor” owners should just get a second job.

    Seriously, though. They can just cut out going to Starbucks every day, and ease up on the avocado toast.

    Yes, that’s the best article on the Rams in quite a while. Commentary on the Rams usually does not reflect any in depth understanding of the team, and that one does. Good work.

    I don’t expect anything from these hearings other than standard-issue talking points.
