    The Rams work on their choreography for their Spring production of The Producers.

    I think that’s a better, more nuanced take on it. He’s the best. There is no question about it. He knows it. The Rams know it. Russell Wilson knows it.

    The Donald thing is weird.

    I can understand a man wanting to retire when he has reached the summit. But if he wanted to do that, he would just do that.

    This whole story doesn’t ring true to me. Aaron Donald is genuinely driven. He’s the kind of guy who would have done this for $52,000 a year, if that was the going rate.

    He already HAS money. He cannot raise his standard of living with a bigger contract than he already has. So…why would he say he’s thinking about retirement? If he really was, there would be signs of that. But there are no signs he is actually “tired” of the grind, etc. He’s training right now.

    The whole thing just seems transparently scripted by his agent.

    And I don’t care that he wants more money. He is arguably the best football player this century. A case more grand than that can be made for him. So pay him.

    But he isn’t retiring. That’s not real.

    The Rams marketing branch is not shy. Glitzy, seaside mansions set up to watch other teams draft players. Hollywood movie trailers. And now they are reminding their tenants who the landlord is.

    Well, they still have Jimmy G, and who knows, they might keep him as insurance. At any rate, the Trey Lance thing is interesting.   The media have practically all decided he is a bust.   Based on a few hints here and there about him ‘not being ready.’    I dunno.   What if he ‘is’ an upgrade over Jimmy G?   Imagine that beastly 49er team we saw last year, with a slight upgrade at QB. The 49ers are a kind of wild-card.   All depends on Trey.

    The “Trey is maybe not working out” narrative is pretty sketchy, from what I gather from NoCal radio. And it’s based on what “insiders” were saying last season. All I’m hearing is a report that coaches were somewhat disappointed in his development last season. There were no claims made as to whether it was learning the playbook, execution, or whatever. But it’s a bit premature to bury his prospects, imo.

    Furthermore, the 9ers tried to trade Garappolo, or at least were reported to be interested in doing so, but did not get their price. If that is true, then the 9ers felt that at a certain price (2 second-rd picks or more is what they allegedly wanted), they would have taken a deal, saved some cap space, and proceeded with Lance. That, at least, speaks to a willingness to go with Lance this year. They wouldn’t do that without a level of confidence. They were in the NFC Championship last year, and made it to the SB before with JimmyG in the past. Why would they deliberately make themselves worse? You don’t turn the keys over to an unqualified driver when your team is on the cusp.

    So I think the Lance will have to beat out JG straight up, or at least give the coaches reason to think he’s on the road to eclipsing JG, or else they keep Garappolo another year.

    Either way, the 9ers should not be ranked at 24. IMO, they are closer to #10 than they are to #24.

    But let’s just tee it up, and find out.

    That cant be real.  Rogers did not really type that.

    I think it would have made legitimate news media within an hour or two if this was real. People who fill the sports airwaves 24 hours a day have to talk about something, and this would have been mentioned.

    49ers are ranked 24? WTF are they smoking?

    Yeah. They are better than that, even if they go with Trey Lance, and he isn’t any good.

    I gotta say that the first thing that set off my BS meter (and I haven’t “looked into this” to see if it IS real or not) is that the original comment places Cousins in the same zip code as Rodgers.

    Addendum 2: Some people claim this is all bogus. Forgery of some kind.

    Anyway, how ’bout those Rams?

    They have Washington, the Lions, and the Giants ranked higher than the 49ers.

    Addendum: Apparently, Kelly didn’t even directly respond to Rodgers.

    And now…oh, no…Rodgers has circled the Rams game on his calendar.

    The “Replacement Theory” is accurate.

    The full theory says not only that POC are gaining #s on the white population, but that it is deliberate and conscious, and when the white population is small enough, POC will just kill off all the remaining white people. It isn’t just an observation of demographical trends, it’s a bonkers, hateful, paranoid conspiracy theory.

    And my thing is…even if whites will be replaced…so fucking what? Only half-blood whites? M’kay.

    What they don’t understand is that it is that way already. They’re aren’t any pure blood anythings.

    He thinks he will be back in November to play against the Saints. Rams target for him is Broncos.

    That is a 35-day difference.

    November 20 vs. December 25.

    8 regular season games vs. 3 regular season games.

    That’s not a small gap to bridge when you’re talking about money.

    I think the Rams can pull 11-6 against that schedule. Win the games they’re supposed to win, like Seattle, Atlanta, Carolina,  and Dallas. That’s 5. Split the rest.

    Do you generally get the Rams on TV when it’s “regional” action? This year, us “nomads” should have a nice selection of national games. But those of us on the East Coast tend not to get the regional stuff very often.

    We get a few games here. I am in 49er territory, so they take precedence. I get the Rams when they kickoff in a time slot that is not in conflict with the 49ers and/or Raiders depending on which network has the game. If the Rams play at a time/network not in conflict with either of those teams, I get them most of the time.

    Otherwise, I watch online.
