Davante Adams tells teamates to do whatever it takes to stay with the Rams

[PARAM]

It's why I have this person, @duanevalle22, on my block list, and I have only one person block.

I have a tree falling in the woods question. If every member of the forum all blocked the same individual, does he disappear?

Well this takes me back to Home Ec when I was in 8th grade when a girl (Kelly) made macaroni and cheese for everyone and I wouldn't eat it, not because of her, but because I just won't try or eat macaroni and cheese, even when my mom made it. And she started crying and made sure she had to tell everyone I was the meanest person at Sierra Vista Junior High, because I wouldn't eat her food.... And I even apologized and tried to explain. And finally when all her bitch friends were trying to circle me during recess, a chola girl showed up (Gina Alvarado) and two other locas who were in the same class jumped in and told Kelly "your macaroni and cheese taste like shit bitch" (in her chola voice).... Boy did it get quiet... lol

Though at the time it was a little embarrassing, but Gina is still a friend to this day.

I’ve stayed unbiased and refused to jump on board with everyone when it comes to you, until now. You’ve really crossed a line.

You won’t even TRY macaroni and cheese?

What the fuck!?

I mean...I literally can't eat any kind of pasta (macaroni and cheese included) or I get sick (like, violently vomiting everything in my stomach sick). It's not an allergy, just...a weird sensory thing with me being on the autism spectrum.

Makes me wonder if Duane's on the spectrum as well?

lol.... My wife thinks the same thing about the spectrum deal...

There is just something about the sound of it when it gets served. I just won't try it, and I haven't touched ketchup since my second grade field trip to the Hunts factory.

So ya I definitely have a few ticks. Lol

Another thing I cannot eat is McDonalds cheese. My mom and dad always ordered my Big Macs with no cheese. To me when I looked at my brothers quarter pounders with cheese, the edges and corners had this dark orange tint to it, and never looked melted.

To me the Big Mac is the greatest hamburger in the solar system. I could eat four of those bad boys in one sitting when I was in high school.

@duanevalle22 — you’re a regular here, and nobody questions your Rams fandom. You’ve been around long enough to know that.

That said, understand the culture of this board. Patient during high-emotion moments like game days, but the day-to-day expectation is simple: respect for each other and for the community tone.

This is an optimistic, forward-looking Rams board. We talk about problems, but we do it constructively - with a “how do we win?” mindset. When posts come off dismissive, sarcastic, or off-tone, it pulls energy out of the room and rubs “this room” the wrong way.

Be yourself. No one is asking you to be fake. Just be aware of the audience you’re posting to and read the room. If you’re going to hang out here, you need to meet the community where it is.

We want you here. Just contribute in a way that fits the tenor of the board.

That's kind of confusing

I mean it seems this is kind of a one way hand slap. There are a few that have used some pretty derogatory name calling directed at me and our players and I have yet to do anything of that nature and you just ho-hum right passed it. I get it you have your favorites here and they probably get a longer leash which is fine. I have my favorite members here as well.

I just don't report any of it because I was taught not to be a snitch. Like I have stated if you feel I'm a detriment to this great place, I will be more than happy to leave quietly with absolutely no hard feelings.

Let me simplify then, as posted above.

“Be yourself. No one is asking you to be fake. Just be aware of the audience you’re posting to and read the room. If you’re going to hang out here, you need to meet the community where it is.

So do what you need to do, bro. You seem to enjoy being here. Not sure why you’d walk away unless that was your intention all along. That for me is confusing.

I mean it's pretty bad getting reprimanded publicly.... If I had an issue with anyone big or small I would never do it in public. When it gets to that point, it pretty obvious what I need to do.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Yes! How about this; appreciate the board tenor as a reason to be here. This isn’t reddit.

As for doing this publicly I had too. I was late to the party. Members need to know their feedback is heard.

Controversial takes on this forum are not illegal, but the poster of controversial takes needs to be fully prepared for counter points and push back. And it shouldn’t be a surprise especially if it’s widespread.

To me, Davante Adams said something that not only is the most crowning compliment you can say about an Organization.

That not only was as honest and sincere as anything I've ever heard.

That not only gives a perspective to young players that is PRICELESS.

But something than can actually bode well and net TANGIBLE improvement to the health and welfare of the team in future seasons.

One person here took it completely in the opposite direction for no good reason at all besides a general lack and disregard of understanding.

 

[BigRamFan]

Dude! He's right though. Maybe you need to "think before you post" because you sure hand out a lot of passive insults to the team and coaches. It seems everyone notices it but you.

 

[ljramsfan]

Don't forget Isaac Bruce.

I may not be Kroenke's biggest fan as a St. Louisan, but I'd rather have him as my team's owner and win in L.A. than have Georgia as my team's owner and be the bad punchline of an utter joke that we were under her reign in the Lou.

Steven Jackson was the only player worth watching for a very long time, and I think a lot of us have become spoiled under McVay/Snead/Demoff/Kroenke. We can and have done worse, and I'm glad that Adams is sharing this with our young players because they can and possibly will do wor100

These are my thoughts 100% spot on

 

[ljramsfan]

Same here. I went in 2005 (Fitzmagic's first NFL start IIRC@) a loss to Washington; in 2006, a loss to KC when Curtis almost got beheaded on the sideline on the 2nd to last play of the game and in 2007, a Gus Frerotte led win over Atlanta. No way was it as loud as it seemed during TGSOT years.

I went to 2005 game too. We got killed

 

[Ramit]

I didn't quote you as saying it, I said you implied it, which is true.

Your implication is that Davantae shouldn't be "focusing... on others pay checks" and instead should spend "every minute....focusing on the most important game of the season."

Dude, if you can't recognize why your posts consistently piss people off....Whatever. In ten years here I've only put one other poster on "ignore", but congrats, you'll be number two.

Was that the guy that always referred to Wentz as a "tractor," and Goff as a "trailer?"

 

[InfiniteRam]

Yeah I wish I could have caught a game there. Like that Vikings playoff game for example. I remember when they cut to the Rams game, Madden's face was shocked by the noise rocking that booth. I then put that soundbar volume way up and goddamn if that wasn't the best playoff game ever.

IIRC, Warner got Ike on a crosser for a deep TD early on. Had to be the loudest sustained roar maybe in the history of football
