by Eric Sondheimer It’s time for a change in philosophy before the true mission of the high school sports experience disappears forever. Clearly, a travel-ball mentality is seeping into the system: Individuals matter over team; building all-star teams through player movement is more important than loyalty; exposing players to college recruiters is a higher priority than teaching life lessons.by 21Dog - Bucky's Pub
Quotepromomasterj I have no problem with live tackling and practice contact, but high shots and cheap shot aren't just dumb in practice they are repeatable in games and as we've seen, this team isn't afraid to unleash a sea of yellow hankies week in and week out. exactlyby 21Dog - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteJoeMad Quote21Dog Quotewaterfield We've got a couple of nieces and nephews on my wife's side of the family who address us by our first names instead of aunt or uncle. It just bugs the #### out of me, but it's how they were brought up. you nailed it... by human nature, people need to be respected to give respect. They were not brought up that way or they were not respected growing up...by 21Dog - Bucky's Pub
Dodger Stadium isn't the Dodger Stadium of the 60s and 70s. There's a Raider fan edge to many of the fans. Lord help those who wear the colors of the opposing team in certain parts of the stadium.by 21Dog - Bucky's Pub
Quotewaterfield In addition I know millennials-even in my own family-who consider the proper and polite way for a child to address an adult as " that's sooooo in the 50s" Imagine ! In a school my grand daughter attends the children are encouraged and told to address the teacher by their first name and not by Mr. or Mrs. I know there is a reason for this but I'm too old to understandby 21Dog - Bucky's Pub
QuoteMamaRAMa I think it could be due to the general lack of manners these days. Manners are not taught at home or in the schools anymore. What's worse... they're no longer expected as a normal part of behavior. Respect was kind of built in to the manners we displayed. Years ago, kids addressed adults as "Mr, Mrs, Miss" and adults did the same. We responded to each other with "by 21Dog - Bucky's Pub

Been watching Dodger baseball on line (thanks Direct TV and Time Warner) for two years. Don't go on any of those sites without Adblock Plus or Malwarebytes installed. I run both. ABP is free and I run the paid version of Malwarebytes. Haven't had any problems.by 21Dog - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLMU93 I get your point but I don't think it's nothing either. They're saying he's basically about 4% above his ideal weight. For a 200 pound guy that would be 8 lbs. At his weight it's 13. Not a catastrophe by any means but something he should deal with from a conditioning standpoint so he can move well for 60-65 snaps per game. I don't think many LTs are above 330 unless they're 6'7".by 21Dog - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteleafnose one of personal favorites; always thought he was better than allowed. remember those years were so much more about churning out yards on the ground. to a flaw. remember that he set a pro bowl record for rushing yards the year he was selected. over 200 yards in that pro bowl game. no; he didn't possess all the elite tools, but gee whiz the cat was a pure football player.

The buildup was everything Akeem Ayers expected it to be. He celebrated his homecoming with family and friends. He held a football camp at Verbum Dei High, his alma mater. He woke up every day this summer and put on gear that made it clear he plays for Los Angeles’ NFL team. But when Ayers ran out of the tunnel for the Rams’ preseason opener against the Cowboys on Saturday, it fully hit hby 21Dog - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteJamesJM in regards to penalties.... I think maybe I kind of get it and it's a valid point but mostly I think, "Gonna take more than that Jeff... come on big guy". - JamesJM Silly me. I would call that playing with discipline.by 21Dog - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam I suspect if it's even, Copley and Easley are leavin'. Although the money isn't large, there is no doubt some cap space to be redeemed if they keep Longacre over Copely or Easley. Longacre is a heady player with a non-stop motor. I really like him and suspect unless he's injured it won't be hard for him to beat out Copely. Easley better light a fire, though, or he'll be lookiby 21Dog - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM but first, thanks zn. I'm going to say this badly. Be forewarned. When she is around, (and this applies to more than just me), it is the happiest of times. One sets aside pettiness, pissy'ness, argumentativeness, and every other negative 'ness. And it's not 'pity', as in - well, you know.... I guess 'feigned' good humor stemming from pity.

Quotewaterfield Now THAT goes way way back. I remember him doing the L.A.Angel games when they were a PCL minor league team and played in South Central on Avalon Blvd. I also remember him doing the 1950 NFL championship game from Cleveland when Groza beat Waterfield's rams on a 49 yd FG. I go back some, but not that far back. I do remember Steve Bilko, one of the original LA Angels when theby 21Dog - RamsFootballFans.com
