Re: ESPN's headline bothered me. Cooks actual words did not.

One might infer from the headline that Cooks isn't really interested in a long term contract with the Rams.

Here's some word for word from Cooks:

How surprised are you that this new team is the Rams?

"I'm blessed. And to be a part of this organization and what they've got going on. I'm extremely excited to be able to come here and grow with a young quarterback, and a great offensive coach, a great coach. I'm looking forward to it."

...

How willing do you think you could be to maybe commit to this organization long-term?

"At the end of the day, it's one of those things you walk by faith and not by sight, so to be able to commit to this team long-term will be a blessing. It's one of those things that a lot goes into that. It's not like I'm pressing for it. I want to come in here and do whatever I have to do to prove that I'm worth it to be here for a long time, but not pressing anything, just come in and do the best I can to fit in."

Agreed Sag. Very misleading. Thanks for posting this!! Cooks gave me no impression that he wouldn't sign a long term deal. He in fact said he would like to be here a long time and it would be a blessing. Of course not everyone will agree depending on how they viewed the trade. Based on the poll by droopy, I think the majority here will read his words as a positive thing.

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
