Stan Kroenke Wants The Rams Out Of St. Louis So Damn Badly
We’re nearing the end of Escape To L.A. race that the St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, and Oakland Raiders have been running for what seems like forever now. Given that neither team has gotten an attractive offer to stay in their current cities, the Chargers and Raiders appear to be most likely t...

The reports indicate that his injuries are non-life-threatening. Bailey ...
Why The Hell Was A Clearly Concussed Case Keenum Left In The Game?
The more you watch Rams quarterback Case Keenum get slammed to the ground, clutch his head, and wobble back to his feet, the harder it becomes to understand how he was allowed to continue playing....
Case Keenum Suffers Head Injury, Stays In Game, Gives Up Game-Losing Fumble
Just a few minutes after Joe Flacco tore his ACL, the quarterback opposite him suffered a nasty injury of his own. Case Keenum got rocked here yet nobody made any moves to remove him from the game. Look at his teammate pick him up like he’s a bag of flour. ...
Report: NFL Might Not Come To Los Angeles Until 2017
An NFL team moving to Los Angeles next season has felt inevitable for most of the year, but that might not be the case anymore. According to a report from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, sources close to negotiations have expressed doubt that a deal to move one-to-three of the Rams, Chargers, and Raiders to...
The Rams Finally Bench Nick Foles
That it’s taken this long for the Rams to make the switch from Nick Foles, who has led St. Louis to league-worst marks in just about every passing metric, is more a testament to the fact that Plan B isn’t very attractive either. But at 4-5, they aren’t out of things yet, so why not put up a Hail Mar...
Martellus Bennett Roasts The Rams
The Bears, despite any strange injury shenanigans, played their best game of the year down in St. Louis as they left with a 37-13 win. They put up their highest point total of the year and were clearly feeling themselves, Martellus Bennett most of all. Bennett, who is always good for a fantastic quo...
Wes Welker Is Back And It Feels Terrible
By all accounts—his own, his teams’, and a top NFL-affiliated concussion specialist’s—Wes Welker is healthy and ready to play. St. Louis badly needs a receiver. Still, when the Rams announced they signed Welker to bolster their etiolated passing attack, my first reaction was disappointment. It’s a s...
Rams Owner Stan Kroenke Is A Bathroom Hog
With the Vikings playing in the University of Minnesota’s stadium until their own new building is complete, visiting dignitaries don’t have the level of luxury they may be used to. Wherever Rams owner Stan Kroenke watched the game from, it didn’t have adequate private restrooms. So he commandeered t...
Vikings Angry At "Cheap" Rams After Late Hits On Teddy Bridgewater
Vikings players and coaches had strong words for the Rams—and especially defensive coordinator Gregg Williams—after Minnesota’s 21-18 overtime win, completed without QB Teddy Bridgewater, who left early in the fourth after being knocked unconscious by a shoulder to the head from CB Lamarcus Joyner....
Reggie Bush Is The Latest Victim Of The Rams' Concrete Ring Of Death
The 49ers believe Reggie Bush’s injury, suffered yesterday against the Rams, is a torn ACL, a season-ender. It’s a particularly frustrating one for Bush, who’s had trouble staying healthy throughout his career, because it had basically nothing to do with football. Bush was just the latest victim of ...
The Chargers Will File For Relocation To Los Angeles In January
It’s increasingly apparent that the NFL will have at least one NFL team (and probably three) playing in Los Angeles soon. The only uncertainty is which teams and when. Yesterday, the San Diego Chargers made a public declaration that they will apply for relocation. ...
Proposed Rams Stadium Would Cost Taxpayers A Hell Of A Lot More Than Promised
It’s a truly bizarre situation in St. Louis, with Rams owner Stan Kroenke desperate to leave for Los Angeles, and (some) local politicians desperate to build him a stadium to get him to stay. Problem is, according to documents FOIA’d by St. Louis Magazine, taxpayers would be on the hook for a lot mo...
Rams Game Delayed After Pyrotechnics Set Field On Fire
The Rams-Steelers game today in St. Louis was delayed today after pregame pyrotechnics set the artificial turf on fire. The fire extinguisher left skin irritants all over the field and the start was pushed back to vaccuum it all up. Good way to slow down Le’Veon Bell!...
The NFL Wants Players To Help Pay For New Los Angeles Stadium
The NFL is coming to Los Angeles soon, no matter what Oaklanders, St. Louisans, San Diegans, or local labor groups have to say about it. The sheer amount of money behind the proposed moves of one or all of the Rams, Chargers, or Raiders, coupled with the NFL’s desire to break into the country’s #2 m...
Kam Chancellor's Holdout Couldn't Be Going Any Better
Kam Chancellor is still negotiating with the Seahawks for a new contract, and as his holdout bled into Week 1 of the regular season, undrafted sophomore Dion Bailey took his place at strong safety Sunday against the Rams. It was clear that Chancellor’s starting job will be waiting for him when he co...
Seahawks Choose To Run This Time With Game On The Line, Still Lose
The Seahawks lost a wild one in overtime in St. Louis today. Nick Foles took the field for the first time as a Ram and he was very solid with 297 yards and touchdowns via air and ground, but the truly remarkable part of the game was the *fart noise* that was the Seahawks’ overtime effort. ...
Surprise Military Reunions At NFL Games Reach Peak Bullshit

Fight At Cowboys-Rams Joint Practice Results In Some Good Cheap Shots
Hey look, another fight at a joint practice. This one wasn’t as all encompassing as what went down in Richmond between Washington and Houston, but there’s a couple of real solid cheap shots in there. ...
I Don't See Any Way The Raiders Stay In Oakland
The NFL’s Los Angeles tarantella has felt interminable, but it has finally reached a critical stage. With three teams seeking to move, and the league hell-bent on relocating one or two of them, everything comes down to the battle between St. Louis, San Diego, and Oakland to tender their respective t...
