ZooeyModeratorYeah, I’m referring to the Twitter files.
I don’t really know much about it because I don’t really care, but it doesn’t look good for Taibbi.
My thing on the “doom” is that leftists just can’t get any traction anywhere in the machine. Elect someone, and they are brought to heel almost immediately. Get a platform in the media, some right wing carnivore buys the platform, and moves it to the right. Get an individual voice in the media, and they get paid to compromise on this one tiny issue, and their soul is for sale. Nobody wants to follow Assange or Donzinger.
Meanwhile, Twitter is always abuzz with wars over Dore, Taibbi, Cenk, Daou, Ritter, you name it.
My thing is always, “I don’t demand a purity test. These people aren’t my messiah. When I agree with them, I agree with them, and when I don’t, I don’t.” But it appears many people on the left get all “brand loyal” to various talking heads, and then we get civil wars.
That’s where the “doom” comes from.
We can’t get traction in the gov’t or in the media. We’re screwed.

Dunno. In that photo, it looks like he’s looking at his target. I guess it’s still early in the off-season, but that’s a troubling sign.

ZooeyModeratorDidn’t see this coming…
If Banking was a Pro sports team?
When things go wrong (losses) in SPORTS, the owner usually cleans house (fires GM, Front office personnel, Coaches, Players) to reset for a new season.
When things go wrong (losses) in BANKING, the owners get more money from their league office…

ZooeyModeratorThe Rams may be just clearing enough cap space to sign Chris Massey.
ZooeyModeratorRex Chapman@RexChapman An Alabama youth girls’ basketball team that was told they would lose their practice facility unless they agreed to play in a boys’ league went on to win the whole thing — and yet was denied the championship trophy. Instead, the trophies were given to the boys who, to be clear were beaten by the girls in the league final.” End.
I read somewhere, btw, that the girls team was not awarded the trophy – not because they were girls – but because they were not in the same league or conference or whatever. They were an elite team playing in a league of scrubs or sumthin’. I don’t know why they were admitted in the first place, and it seems like if they were admitted, they should be eligible -cuz what’s the point, otherwise? – but I dunno.

ZooeyModeratorWell, they tendered Hoecht, Jolly, and Rozeboom.
ZooeyModeratori think this is all being done in preparation for 2024. and if stafford was even just five years younger i’d be cool with it. but who knows how stafford looks in 2024. or maybe they have a plan there too. after thinking about it i’m not sure what more they could have done. ramsey held all the cards on this one. and more power to him by the way. i’ll always. almost always. side with the player. if he wasn’t willing to budge on his demands and the rams were set on getting rid of him what more could they have really got for him? if they try to get rid of him next year how does that impact the cap. does it just further delay the inevitable and waste another year of stafford? i don’t know. but it sure seems like they are conceding 2023. with hopes that they can be competitive in 2024. only problem is how good stafford will be in 2024.
Yeah, it looks like 2023 is over before it starts. But they are reloading for 2024.
I don’t understand it, but I am also aware that Snead and McVay know more about the football situation and the cap than I do. And they recently delivered a Lombardi. So I will just sit here hoping they are right.
I just don’t understand giving up on a team so quickly after winning the SB. According to reports, they weren’t even optimistic about last year even before the injuries ensured an awful season. On paper, though, the roster looked pretty much the same minus Von Miller and OBJ. The “general” roster strength besides the Stars seemed more-or-less the same to me, and replacing those guys didn’t seem impossible, even if some ground was lost there in overall quality.
But trading Ramsey finishes the team off, in my eyes. The CB situation is now looking “JV with upside.” And they still haven’t replaced Miller and OBJ.

ZooeyModeratorThe entire league knows the Rams are an easy mark. They give up waay too much for players they want, and they ask for waay too little in comp for players they trade away.
It sure seems that way to me. Ramsey is still in his prime. Not only do I disapprove of this trade, I can’t even see a plausible rationale for it.
Hopefully, Rodrigue will explain this some day.
ZooeyModerator3rd rounder.
I give up.
So for 3 seasons, we gave up two firsts, and the remaining value is a 3rd and a TE.
M’kay. Better be a damn good TE.
ZooeyModeratorTrade is now agreed to, per sources:
🏈Dolphins get Pro Bowl CB Jalen Ramsey.
🏈Rams get 2023 third-round pick (No. 77) and TE Hunter Long.
Trade will be processed Wednesday, when league year begins. pic.twitter.com/0KJIeoS6fj

ZooeyModeratorRams released 2020-22 sack leader Leonard Floyd; quick look at the move
via @TheAthletic https://t.co/HaBx0i30SM— Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) March 10, 2023
ZooeyModeratorI don’t see it as being as risky as you do. Replacing what Ramsey and Floyd offered in 2022 will not be a great challenge–they both backslid.
Ramsey was still a top-rated CB this season, and he did it without Donald for a good chunk of the season, and in the general falling off of the pass rush. I saw little of the season, as you know, but I’m not seeing this.
And letting Matt Gay sign elsewhere is going to save loose change. Are they out scouring bars for a replacement? What’s that about?
ZooeyModeratorA theory. Several Rams underperformed in 2022 and that’s before they got massively injured as a team. I think they had a few guys who took their rings from 2021 and slacked off. That includes Ramsey and Floyd. I think that’s who they want to replace–I think McV resented that happening. It clears cap space, and puts them in a position to develop talent to step up plus sign people.
I would think that it would be easier to try to coach Ramsey and Floyd back into the proper mindset than to replace them.
And, really, how hard must it be to put in the proverbial 110% when the team has completely fallen off a cliff?
ZooeyModeratorSubtracting talent from the team is not “reloading.” All of this looks like the Rams don’t expect to contend next year.
The #Rams do not care about winning in 2023. Matt Gay is going to go to the 49ers now probably https://t.co/nQ8iPSmIYy

ZooeyModeratorI have to say…
the Rams are quite good at identifying talent, and trading appropriate value to obtain it
and quite terrible at extracting value for trading away talent they have.
