Von Miller says his goodbyes in Denver
The Los Angeles Rams define what an aggressive front office approach looks like in the NFL. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Denver Broncos are trading All-Pro linebacker Von Miller to the Rams for a bag of Ruffles and a 12-pack of Mountain Dew. The Rams care nothing about draft picks, and the...

Someone notify the Nobel Prize committee — this new Rooney Rule is racial equity perfected [sarcasm font]
The NFL is continuing its tradition of not doing enough to promote diversity by doubling the Rooney Rule requirement to interview at least two external minority general manager/executive/coordinator candidates. Head coaching slots were already under this rule, but now, along with GM roles, must incl...
Thursday Night Football offers up Rams as ultimate ‘eye test’ for Seahawks
The NFC West is the best division in football. Don’t give me any of that AFC North business. I love the Browns and Ravens. I think the Bengals are on the upswing of their rebuild, but Cincy and the Steelers are still definitely not contenders in the AFC. Any team in the NFC West could win the confer...
Kyler Murray and Cardinals give Rams a two-piece spicy combo in L.A.
Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals are for real. They showed it to us in Week 1 when they smacked up the Tennessee Titans. Now they’ve done the same thing to the Rams, who were coming off a dominant performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a week ago....
NFL Week 4: Brady vs. Belichick steals the show, while every 3-0 team gets a test
Week 4 of the NFL is obviously headlined by Tom Brady’s return to Gillette Stadium. It’s widely believed that Brady’s departure from New England wasn’t as clean and professional as Brady would like us all to believe. At the same time, Brady has come out and stated that his exit from the Patriots was...
Rams show they’re the best team in the league as Matthew Stafford cooks up Bucs like a beef brisket
The Rams are an impressive football team. We’ve known this for a few years now. They were an elite quarterback away from having a chance to win a Super Bowl....
The best under-the-radar wide receiver gets his shot at the champs
LA Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has quietly become one of the more unstoppable pass-catchers in the NFL over the past couple of years. He’s already third in receiving yards this season with 271, and he’s tied for first in receptions with 16 through two games. Now Kupp is catching passes from a bon...
It’s still just Matthew Stafford

BREAKING: Sean McVay looking at Matt Stafford’s arm a lot differently this morning
Generally, the first couple days of NFL training camps are when the onslaught of injuries takes place. Unfortunately for us, the injury bug has decided to make an early appearance this year. Los Angeles Rams second-year running back and massive breakout candidate Cam Akers is done for the year after...
Rams, clearly jealous of Kliff Kingsbury’s house, retreat to Malibu mansion for draft
I’m not sure if the Los Angeles Rams’ draft is sponsored by Rocket Mortgage or cocaine sales, but it’s definitely one of those. After watching Arizona Cardinals’ head coach Kliff Kingsbury draft from his lair last year like a modern-day Batman villain, Sean McVay will be getting a similar setup this...

This Sean McVay stat will blow your mind
Three years ago, Sean McVay could seemingly do no wrong. He was the wunderkind of the NFL, a savant of offensive play-calling, the maestro of the second coming of the “Greatest Show on Turf.” Whatever he touched turned to gold. Any assistant lucky enough to shake his hand suddenly shot up job boards...
Sean McVay Says He Ate Too Much Tape Before The Super Bowl
As you might expect, Sean McVay has internalized the Rams’ loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl 53. L.A.’s defense put up an all-time performance by limiting Tom Brady and the Pats to a pair of field goals and a touchdown. But the Rams’ offense, which had dazzled the league all season long with all so...
How The Patriots' Defense Put The Rams In A Trash Can
Okay, so Jared Goff looked lost and Sean McVay had no clue how to adjust and the Patriots basically needed just one touchdown drive to win another stinkin’ Super Bowl while also defeating what we all thought was the future of the NFL. So what did New England do that so panicked Goff and McVay? Mostl...
Jared Goff Blew It
We have to start with what should have been the Super Bowl’s first touchdown. Late in the third quarter, Robert Woods dragged a trio of defenders over to the left sideline while Brandin Cooks ran briefly uncovered into the end zone, only to go unseen by Jared Goff long enough for Jason McCourty to ...
Three Points? Three Goddamn Points?
This motherfucker. This little baby we’ve been hearing about all year. The wunderkind who’s revolutionizing football and forcing owners all over the league to hand their teams over to the first stubbled quarterbacks coach they can find. He scored three points in the Super Bowl!...
NFL Teams Are Taking All The Wrong Lessons From Sean McVay's Success
It’s a commonplace that the NFL is a copycat league, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Look at the rise of Sean McVay, which in recent months has prompted a mad scramble among teams for McVayalikes the world over. Confronted with one successful unorthodox coaching hire, many NFL teams seized on...
