lol.... if only he could have played his part and stayed the course.

Has anyone else seen the ticket prices? Outrageous!!! The cheapest seat I saw was about 6k... I wonder how many real fans will be there, or is it just going to be a "scene" because it's L.A.???

the shit is rediculous that the avg fan would have to scrap and sell a kidney just to enjoy the experience. My best friend had the priv to go to the Falcons/Patriots SB since and old classmate worked in the sales office; was able to get the club/suite seating and man was it an experience for him. I would loooooove to go to this game, would be in heaven !

Nice! Don’t take any shit from the BLM idiots. Hire who you want

Just curious but what does BLM have to do with any of this?

 

[Jermaine133]

Yep. The best guy gets the job. Have you heard that you know get some sort of supplementary draft picks if you hire a black coach or executive? Disgraceful

first and foremost since you guys are trying to make this a "black thing"; how about you do research on the rule. The incentive was in place to encourage diversity in the workplace aka NFL. Minorities in general, not just the "black guy" since you want to specifically point out that part.
Side note, I'll agree that yes, you should hire the best person for the job but you can't convince me that they aren't some talented minority coaches out there not deserving of a shot. If the playing field was leveled all the way around 100% we wouldn't be even having to have this conversation. Unfortunately, it is not...

 

[Jermaine133]

Agreed. All employers do this.

I will agree to disagree with you on this topic. In my years working I've seen where children of bosses/managers get jobs over proven team members with years of experience and were highly unqualified but hey all employers hire the best right?

8 takeaways from Opening Night: Beckham almost picked Pats, Stafford likes the blitz

We learned quite a few things from Super Bowl Opening Night, including how close Odell Beckham Jr. came to signing with the Patriots

True, every job has some boss that shouldn't be in charge but is.

This is how the Rams are a contender, smart trades, good drafting, and don't waste money on fools gold that is free agency.

I'm just trying to figure out how management can find a Safety off the street but not a decent LB? Can anyone out there please, please call Morris up and tell him to find London Fletcher, he'd be an instant upgrade over Reeder even at 46. The guy tries hard but he is just not good.

Yep, we have to run the ball and win the LOS, battle of the trenches to win this game.

Does McVay get fired if they lose?

He'd be 0-2 in SB and this would be bad, losing to the Bengals.....

Absolutely not!

Hope not, but LA could easily lose, their offense and defense seem to just totally disappear at times. Plus Bengals have a good team!!

 

[Smed55]

I am counting the days to retirement....

Been retired for 5 years, live in Iowa and played 332 rounds of golf last year, then spend 2 months in Florida, and back to Iowa in March hoping winter is over, because I absolutely hate winter!!

Retirement is "kind of OK"

London was a great player but also a great motivator. One of those guys that can pump players up and make them play their best.

Good News. My schedule for work on Sunday has changed, so I should be here for most of the game. Whohoo!!

Lakers tied the game and now have let the Blazers escape. The lead is 4 with 2:41 left in the game.
