    Rams: Let's Hope the Season is as Good as Free Agency

    ​Training camp for NFL franchises is well underway, and the most frantic part of free agency is now past.

    Dissecting Yesterday's Collapse: Rams 20, 49ers 23

    I feel your pain, anime protagonist. ​The Rams kicked off the second half of their season Sunday with one of the most frustrating, heartbreaking losses we've seen all year. I don't say that lightly, either, as there have been several games already in 2010 the Rams were perfectly capable of winning ... More >>

    Scouting the Rams' Wide Receivers

    ​Normally by the time the final preseason game rolls around for an NFL team most of the decisions have been made already. Sure, there will be a marginal spot or two, down on the depth chart somewhere, but the big spots have pretty much all been decided in camp and games. Not so with the Rams ... More >>

    Atlanta Falcons Want a New Stadium = Only a Matter of Time Before Rams Demand the Same

    Georgia Dome: 18-years-old and over the hill. ​The Atlanta Falcons last week said that the Georgia Dome -- built in 1992 -- is too out-dated to suit the team's future needs. The franchise wants a new, open-air stadium  a.s.a.p. and says that ground could be broken on the new facility as soon ... More >>

    Meet the New Rams; Same As the Old Rams

    See, it's both a snarky way of making fun of the Rams' ineptitude and a way to remind us of better days. Nice, huh? ​Well, hopefully this (and by this, of course, I mean the unceremonious 28-0 ass kicking we all witnessed yesterday), will put to an end all that hopeful speculation people come up w ...
