WTF is this? Is this guy any good? Does this say anything about Woods or OBJ?

Rams are giving former Bears’ WR Allen Robinson a three-year, $45 million deal that includes $30 million guaranteed, per source.

Rams still have money left over for Odell Beckham Jr. and hope to re-sign him, per sources.

Well, I am bummed about Von Miller, though not shocked. He made a difference, and I’m not sure they would be SB champs without him.

But I also think that if they had Woods and OBJ and Higbee and Fuller, they woulda won anyway. Miller was the difference on a team that had only one leg left to stand on.

Cam Akers should be better next season.

I think they need to replace Miller with somebody, especially with Oko gone, too. They need another Edge. And secondary everywhere.

And fer gawd’s sake, they need a punter.

Ho-lee shit.

Well, if I’m Von Miller, I take that.

I don’t know how much is guaranteed, but damn. There is no way the Rams were in the ballpark of that. They probably were looking at 2, maybe 3 years.

The Rams’ secondary was overflowing a couple of years ago. It’s now kind of thin.

Hopefully, Rochelle will be good.

And there will be other additions, I’m sure.

All the usual power-blocs trying to control the narratives. …as an aside, I have come to call this the ‘post-modern-condition.’   Just my own term, i use inside my own head.   Its the condition “I” feel because I can no longer trust 99 percent of the ‘info’ that I am assaulted with each day. I have no idea how much of this Jacobin article is ‘true’. So, I am left with what?   Well, I still trust my ‘big picture’ ideas.  For example Capitalism is destroying the biosphere.  Capitalism is a sophisticated Lie-machine.   Nation-States operate like Gangster states.     Etc. I trust my ‘big picture’ notions (mostly.  always open to modifications). But I do ‘not’ trust the more ‘granular’ info or specifics about ‘what is going on’ especially in real time. ‘post-modern-conditon’.   An unsatisfying state of mind.  For me.  Always skeptical about the granular ‘info’ and narratives.

Same.

I was discussing this with my son on Sunday. My “sense” is that we used to be able to more-or-less believe that the media gave us facts, although they would frame the facts to represent the interest of the elite class. There has always been disinformation, but I used to believe that for the most part, we were given facts. The trick was to perceive the framing at work around those facts.

Now, MSM makes shit up themselves. It used to be just the corps and the gov’t engaged in disinformation. Now the media is making shit up.

This is a very big problem. Nothing is really reliable until 25 years later, and all the dust has settled, and people have worked hard to assemble the truth. Even that is imperfect.

So…we are left with the Big Picture.

Disturbingly, this leaves us feeling disconnected and powerless which, of course, is among the goals of the propaganda. Win as many minds as you can, and marginalize everyone else, one way or another.

But then a part of me doesn’t see much difference in whether I feel powerless under the weight of uncertainty about granular facts or not because I feel powerless anyway. Even if I could KNOW with a certainty what’s going on, what difference would it make? What are ya gonna do? Vote for Bernie?

It is literally impossible to stop the destruction. Tank Man was amazingly brave. How long did he delay the inevitable, though? You can’t change it by voting, and it can’t be changed by direct action either. Fossil fuels, banks, militaries, media, and the CIA (et al) are gonna do their thing.

The choice seems to be between being a martyr (which seems pointless), or just pick up a hobby to pursue until civilization goes over a cliff.

I look forward to this time of year, especially.

Because I can watch what the suits do in the executive suite.

It’s in September, when the players take the field, that shit gets dull.

At this point, I’m kinda worried about the fans coming in all lazy, confident, and satisfied.

Gotta be honest, it’s one thing for y’all to ease up on the quality posting for a couple of weeks after the Super Bowl, but I feel like you guys need to pick up your game.

When I check in with this board, I expect there to be some fresh posts with quality content, and y’all still acting like there ain’t another Lombardi to run down from behind.

Gotta get hungry, my dudes.

I dunno. I do think it would be helpful if people kept up the narrative that the Rams didn’t “earn” this Super Bowl because the bought it, and the NFL rigged it, and the refs gave it to them, and so on.

Rumor has it that he believes he is on the way out, though.

Sean McVay is the only Rams coach to get the Rams to the Super Bowl twice.

That’s a fact.
