Rams Current News & Events!

Here's a crappy blast from the past. The Coroner's report is now in on Lawrence Phillips and it is consistent with the fact that he hung himself with bedsheets in his cell. The "do-not-resuscitate" sign taped to his chest is a new twist. Sad indeed.

Lawrence Phillips hanged himself, had 'Do Not Resuscitate' note

Well I finally got to order my LA Rams 2016 season tickets yesterday! My window opened up at 1:30 and lasted something like 5 days. The 2 tics I purchased only cost a total of $1,625 for the 9 games. I'm sure that will go up drastically once Inglewood opens along with the PSL fees.

Anyways, when the Rams started taking deposits, I got my $100 deposit in at 10:15 am (They began taking deposits at 10:00 am, and I had trouble getting through right away) Well for the last few weeks, they've been taking deposit holders in waves or small groups, in the order their deposits were received.

One of my buddies got his deposit in at 10:12 am and was a week and a half ahead of me, so needless to say, the best seats were gone.

As a matter of fact, I couldn't get a seat in the house in the two lower sections as they were all sold out, only the two upper sections had seats available and less than half of those were available.



All the seats from end zone to end zone on the Rams sideline was completely sold out all the way up. I got my seats in the 50th row and off to the side of the end zone on the Visitors sidelines. (I'm okay with that, I'll be able to see the faces of the players on the sidelines) Still I can only imagine what will be left for those who got their deposits in after I did.

Now, we Rams fans just need all to show up for them home games. I'm guessing early in the season we will have a packed house. But I know for a fact I will be donating my tickets for the Christmas Eve game, and maybe New Years Day game too.

Nice Vita, doesn't matter where the seats are, the Rams are back. Nice to know a member of our board will be there in person, gets us all closer.

Rams' Jared Goff impressive in first pro practice with Rams

So this is what I'm reading but not what I'm hearing...

Heard today on local radio that Goff threw about 20 passes and 4 were picks with Joyner taking 1 to the house.

3 of the 4 were on JG directly and one was off the receivers hands.

They did note that there was no Tavon, Gurley or Britt vs the Rams No. 1 Defense.

Well at least he is feeling the pressure early on against a tough defense! Lets just hope that he can learn to quickly and accurately get rid of the ball while under pressure.

rip please dont make this kid into jay culter...

I'd worry more about him turning into David Carr.

 

[Retroram52]

This would be interesting. I wonder who we would move? Foles maybe but that would not save enough money but the addition would make the Rams D-Line the absolute baddest!

Rams defensive line would be the greatest of all time with Muhammad Wilkerson

 

[Battlelyon]

I don't know about the defensive line getting worse with Long leaving, Easley is easily an upgrade.

 

[Retroram52]

I wondered about that statement in the article as well SE.

And the sniping continues as a writer discussing the Detroit Lions takes a whack at Mannion out of the blue. The perception about the Rams remains though and this is some of the consequences of our recent history.

The Rams? Wasting yet ANOTHER draft pick? I believe I've heard/said this before

Sean Mannion gets called the ‘most wasted draft pick of the decade'

It's an absolutely ridiculous comment and hilariously wrong.

 

[Retroram52]

Let's see... Fisher states in this article that they don't want to set Goff up to fail. Hmmm.... didn't they do exactly that with Foles?

You are right shops! Like a lot of us however, they too (Rotoworld, not TFY Draft Insider) didn't like him when the Rams drafted him then and they still don't like him now.

TFY Draft Insider Tony Pauline reports "more than a dozen teams" rank Oregon State's Sean Mannion the No. 3 quarterback in this year's draft class.

Opinions vary widely on Mannion, as many believe he's the next best thing after Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, while others, including Rotoworld draft guru Josh Norris, don't even think Mannion is worth a late-rounder. Mannion (6-foot-5, 227) has ideal size and played in a pro-style offense, but completely falls apart in the face of pressure, turning the ball over and taking sacks.

But of 'the' most wasted pick of the decade?

It's not even the Rams most wasted draft pick of the decade, much less 'the' most wasted pick of the decade. Anyone who wants to argue this has forgot all about the waste of a 2nd overall pick in Jason Smith 2009.

No, because Foles was a Pro Bowl Veteran.

That's a huge difference, and unlike Rookie QB's, Pro Bowl Vet QB's should be able to go through training camp and start week 1.

um, 2009 would be last decade, right?...

 

[Vitamike]

It's actually both....

dec·ade
ˈdekād/
noun
noun: decade; plural noun: decades
1.
a period of ten years.
"he taught at the university for nearly a decade"

dec·ade

1.
a period of 10 years; especially : a 10-year period beginning with a year ending in 0.

So instead of going with 5 years, I went with 10 because to me, it's what comes to mind when speaking of a decade.

Besides, Rotoworld wants to call that Lions 6th rounder QB another one of the most wasted pick of the decade.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

I know the meaning thanks and that's my point. We are in the second decade of the 2000's. 2009 was last decade.

Of course you do LTRF, but since Rotoworld specifically uses term 'decade' to emphasize a lengthy duration, I'm going with the term of 10 years and not 5.
