St. Louis News Station Mercilessly Roasts Rams Executive
Jeff Fisher got shitcanned today, meaning he will no longer be glowering on the Rams sidelines and mangling Jared Goff’s development. Nobody’s happier about this than St. Louis’ FOX affiliate, who reveled in Fisher’s failures and stunted on Rams COO Kevin Demoff. As FOX2 noted, Demoff’s father is Fi...
Jeff Fisher Won't Be Going 7-9 This Season, Because The Rams Fired Him
The jig is officially up for Jeff Fisher. The Los Angeles Rams have fired their head coach of five seasons today....
Holy Hell, The Rams Are A Disaster
There is so much beauty in this world, if you only stop to appreciate it. I truly believe that when it’s all said and done, we will look back on Jeff Fisher asserting “I’m not fucking going 7-9"—and then getting a secret contract extension—as one of the funnier things that’s ever happened in footbal...
Johnny Hekker Is The Punter Every Punter Wants To Be
The best thing about the Los Angeles Rams isn’t Aaron Donald and the defensive line, or laughing at Jeff Fisher and his endless quest to perfect mediocrity. Nope. The best thing about the Rams is their punter....
Rich Hill Finally Got Paid
Rich Hill will be returning to L.A. in 2017 after signing a three-year, $48 million contract with the Dodgers on the first day of the Winter Meetings. Amidst a weak free agent class, Hill’s 2.12 ERA in just over 110 innings split between Oakland and L.A. last season made him one of the shiniest piec...
Jeff Fisher Tries To Challenge Play, Is Thwarted By His Own Coat
Los Angeles Rams head coach Jeff Fisher, who recently received a two-year contract extension and couldn’t correctly name his opponent’s players this week, was soundly defeated by his coat during today’s game against the Patriots....
Rams Can't Even Fair Catch A Punt Without Incident
All the Los Angeles Rams’ special teams unit had to do was catch a punt. That’s it. Just wave for the fair catch so Jeff Fisher’s offense can figure out a new way to go three-and-out. Instead, Pharoh Cooper had to deal with his own teammate laying a hit on him....
Report: Jeff Fisher Somehow Got An Extension
Just when it looked like the jig was up for Los Angeles Rams head coach Jeff Fisher, he reminded everyone that for Jeff Fisher, the jig is never up....
The Clippers, Who Appear To Be Legit, Owned The Cavaliers
How many legitimate contenders are there to win the NBA title? Before the season, the almost universally agreed upon answer was two. The Warriors breezed through everyone in the Western Conference last season except the Thunder, whose best player they lured away this summer. The Cavaliers play in th...
Jeff Fisher Is Ready To Face Patriots Running Backs "Brandon" And "Danny"
Okay, Jeff Fisher has to be messing with everyone. How could a man work in the league for this long if he were actually this dumb and uninformed? NFL coaches are stupid in many ways, but they’re at least obsessive about their jobs. Today, the Rams head coach appeared to be using years-old intel to p...
Old And Carefree Paul Pierce Blows Dunk, Receives CPR From Chris Paul
The Clippers started off the season 14-2, partly due to their decrepit bench coming to life, but they’re settling back into normalcy with a three-game skid. In last night’s double-OT game against the Nets, they were thoroughly owned by Sean Kilpatrick, who notched 38 points, 14 rebounds, and snuck r...
Doc Rivers Was <i>Pissed</i>
The Clippers lost their third straight, falling 127-122 in two overtimes in Brooklyn, and they had to play the second overtime without coach Doc Rivers, who got an early ticket to the locker room and had to be restrained by his players and assistants after picking up two quick techs....
Eric Dickerson To Resume Attending Rams Games Next Season
Jeff Fisher—coach of the 4-7 Rams, losers of six of seven and owners of the least productive offense in football—is currently embroiled in a feud with Eric Dickerson, who starred for the Rams the last time they were (good) in Los Angeles. The beef stems from Fisher reportedly banning Dickerson from ...
Rams Legend Eric Dickerson Says Team Banned Him From Sidelines Over Criticism
Eric Dickerson is one of the most iconic players in Los Angeles Rams franchise history. He set the single-season record for rushing yards (which still stands) in 1984 and led the NFL in rushing three times in his four full seasons with the team. Dickerson advocated for the Rams to move back to Calif...
What If Jeff Fisher Is Just An Expert Troll?
The thought of Jeff Fisher evokes the phrase “experienced mediocrity.” He shuffles along with the Rams, underachieving here and there, while carrying a lengthy, but not necessarily good, résumé as a shield to protect his job. Based on what Fisher did Sunday, though, I’m starting to wonder whether he...
The Saints Punked Gregg Williams
Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton have a history. In January of 2012, Williams left the team for a job with the St. Louis Rams, received an NFL suspension a couple of months later for his role in the Saints’ Bountygate, missed the 2012 season, and nev...
Nick Young Steals Ball From Teammate, Hits Game-Winning Shot
Last night, Nick Young came full circle....
Julius Randle Did A Very Rude Thing To Nikola Mirotic
Lakers forward Julius Randle is proving to be a lot of fun. He’s already shown that he has the right combination of skill and sass to truly antagonize his opponents, and last night he showed an ability to treat defenders the way a grizzly bear treats a meal....
Jeff Fisher Pleased With Jared Goff's Ability To Perform Basic Functions
No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff finally made his first start at quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams yesterday, and he looked a lot like the player we saw in the preseason, which is to say he was kind of butt....
