Still early in game 2. Don't count Arch out yet.
"USED TO BE the Leader in Sports"Its a shame. ESPN is sucky.
Wow! Holy crap!I've taken a long time to come around on McVay but boy oh boy am I believer. The last few years really cemented it for me. I thought he got the most out of a team that was not always the best in every position on paper, and showed great affinity for developing young talent and leading teams through real adversity. Easily the 2nd best coach in the NFL IMO and I am so glad we have him. It is hard to argue anyone is better than Andy Reid, in my view. All he does is make Super Bowls. Sure, Mahomes is amazing, but I don't think he is that much better than Stafford or several other elite QBs, and many years recently the AFC has had all the heavy weight contenders. So I don't think you can explain it away due to the QB. And even before that in Philly, he was routinely making the conference final with lesser QBs.
He spit on the ground. It was definitely meant as an insult, but he didn't spit at him. Not a penalty. It did incite carter but that is common. Not the spitting, the inciting.I watched a video today where Dak spit at Carter also.. he'll probably get fined also
My second-longest league is a keeper auction league. Joined initially in 2002 (league started in 1999), played a few years then moved on. Was invited back in 2015 and been playing ever since.The keeper league I am in I joined back when it was on paper as well, 25 years ago or so.
Now have players on the east coast, west coast, rockies, Sierra Nevada and the Deep South.
12 teams spread all over.
Its fun and after a quarter century or so finally won my first title last year.....haha.
NOW, I can rest on my laurels.
As my title states, I am an Everquest player. Been playing since 2000. That was the first MMORPH that did it right and WOW copied it and made it easier for soloing. Everquest requires groups for the most part. And now that we have derailed this thread....I wish I could survive on just a game station, but I need the more involved games that have to run on PCs, with Eve as an example having an insane amount of ways you can play it. And by the way that chart is outdated, there's a lot more going on now.
I used to play multiple MMOs, for many years. But no longer have that level of gaming energy lol. WoW had a good long run but it's a hot pile of shit now and so is ESO.
Yes I agree it was an underrated signing. Just based on how that MFer played every time against us in the past, he's gonna help our defense. It's really difficult for OL to focus on Verse or one of these other excellent players we have up front when they have A gap pressure on top of it from Ford. And he's a player who does the work on early downs.I think Poona Ford is gonna be a much bigger deal than we give him credit for. He’s a fireplug and very hard to move. We’ve hardly talked about him, but wouldn’t surprise me at all to see us in a more traditional 3-4 front or 3-3 nickel to utilize the NT position against the run.
I asked ChatGPT to generate a post in the style of SoRam. You be the judge of the results:
I keep saying this & nobody listens so maybe I’m wrong but I’m not ?? Rams traded Quinn which was smart & dumb same time cause Floyd came later & was already there before then after ?? He had the better year AFTER Quinn left but before Donald’s peak maybe unless it was the Superbowl year which I still think was cause of Von not Floyd but you need BOTH so it’s not one or the other ??
People forget Rams almost gave up TOO FIRSTS for that DE from Carolina & if they had done it they would’ve missed on Verse or whoever came later maybe Jefferson or Akers can’t recall but it’s the same draft I think ?? You see how Les Snead dials up 5th round picks into 1st round talent but then again he misses on 1st round talent like Tavon Austin who I liked but didn’t like at the same time cause he was small ??
Then Stan paying ONE DOLLAR for SOFI that’s not just rent it’s leverage cause Jerry Jones told him after the Herschel Walker trade how to get LA back which I know cause I followed that vote from being a fly on the wall or maybe I just read it later same thing ?? Rams BACK to LA meant trade SJ39 to Cowboys but they didn’t do it when Dallas had TWO FIRSTS which could’ve been Parsons years before Parsons was even drafted ??
Here is my sneaky good pick. Odds of Jared Verse winning DPOY are anywhere from +1200 to +1500. $100 bucks on him to win it feel like good odds. I got +1400 on Fandual a few weeks ago. Big jump coming for Verse this year in terms of sacks. Book iti'll be on my way, to my yearly quest, to put the six month bets down...
$100 on rams to win the SB
$100 on the over for the season win total... not even sure what that is now, it was 9.5
$100 on the rams to win the west...
and finally, and probably my best odds ... stafford for mvp!!!
it's a yearly thing, so a $400, six month long bet... about $16 per week give or take...
adds a little extra to the season, been doin it, off and on since 1999....
go rams

I like it. DMAC is a hardcore Rams...and Dodgers guy.Yeah this show is terrible, It's so robotic.
Exactly......sneaky fuckers!!Packers were in last year
I was hoping Davis Allen would have made great progress in his second year but he really didn't move the needle at all. Tight Ends typically take 2 or 3 years to develop so hoping Allen can progress a lot this year. If not, I believe we still have him for another year, cut Parkinson to save cap and draft another blocking TE. Ferguson, Allen, Redmen and a draft pick will round out the TE roster next year?Parkinson, absolutely. But I'm not getting rid of Allen so easily. He's done well in limited snaps. And we need three tight ends, since Higbee is possibly gone after this year (I'm sorry, I like him and all, but he'll be thirty-two, and he's been injured tons.), and Parkinson being hopefully gone. Redman could possibly take the third blocking role or we could sign someone for it, but I want Allen on this team; he's a young 6'6" tight end with underrated receiving skills. He and Ferguson could make a deadly combo on 12 sets.
Super Duper Early but plenty of OT prospects ... including five in the top-15. Would like to see more CBs.![]()
