No worries, just busting balls :spintounge I certainly hope not..... so far only about 0.00035% of the US population has it, I'm sure the numbers will climb, but even if they climb dramatically it will still be well below 1% of the population, so chances are very few if any hby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams43 I would think that the last thing the Rams want to do is scrap or tone down anything in this inaugural season at the new Palace. It's the last thing any fan, let alone player, coach or owner wants especially someone like Stan who has invested so much , but unfortunately.........things are a bit sketchy right now Pray this passes quickly and new drugs to treat it and a vaccine aby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteAlbaNY_Ram NFL revenues get divided into two piles. 47% of NFL revenues goes into the player's pile (We as fans see that as the salary cap.) 53% of NFL revenues goes to the owners. 'Cap money' that is not spent on salaries does not go to the owners. Under the NFLPA teams must spend at least 88.8% of the cap on player salaries, and any unused money in one year just rolls over to tby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteMamaRAMa Where has he been? Who has he been around? I'd sure like to know how he contracted it. He may not even know himself. Apparently some states have done nothing about the corona virus as far as social distancing, which is unbelievable after all that has happened, I think Louisiana is one of those statesby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteCROMWELL21 I don't see him giving back money. It's his contract (and Goff) that created this. Welcome to the NFL..... it's what happens when you have to pay market rate to keep a young QB you want to hold on to and a super star like Donald. The next QB contracts will make the Goff contract look like a bargain. Dak trying to get $35M+ a year and he hasn't even been to an NFC Champiby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteDeadhead Ram I think it's the right move considering the choices. That said, who thought signing him to all that $$$ was a good idea without checking out the knee. Sounds like Snead...:banghead Gurley was coming off his MVP like season of 2017 when they rewarded him, so the knee was probably fine back then and you can bet he passed any physical they gave him. Unfortunately he injuredby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemerlin For him to sign with the Chargers they would have needed to be the only team who needs a QB. IMO Brady is going to be more concerned with FIT and whether he has a chance to play well with good talent around him than whether the state is going to tax his income. Yes it's significant and it's why I didn't retire in Cali where I'm from. But for Brady I just don't think it was a primby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam But the idea that teams in high tax states should have the cap adjusted and be able to pay more? No way. What's next? Adjustment for Cost of Living? No doubt this is exactly what those states are counting on; that employers pay their employees more so that the state can confiscate more. Teams located in high tax states can move if they think it's a problem. Don't think for a seconby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemerlin Agreed. He's been around the block long enough to know what matters. I doubt the Clippers were ever in consideration. He sent out the same proposal to both teams...those were his two choices. So they were considered The article talked about how it would cost Brady an extra 13% to play in LA about $4M a year in taxes compared to zero. I don't think someone like Brady neeby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam_Ruler Otherwise it seems fruitless to me We save a whopping $4.6M towards the cap in 2020 by trading him. They must really want him off the team if they are willing to take a $12.5M dead money cap hit just to get rid of him If the Rams trade Gurley, they’ll take on $12.6 million in dead money in 2020, saving only $4.65 million in cap space. It’s not a significant amount, of courseby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
In this article is another piece of evidence how the salary cap system is unfair to teams in high tax states. Either adjust the cap for teams that have higher taxes, or try to come up with a way where every player pays the same tax rate in no matter where they play.by Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewaterfield Well if you were more specific about the "dramatic" numbers compared to the "real" numbers I could likely address that. But I've gone as far on this as I choose at this point. So if you want to believe that this is not as serious as the experts say it is-go ahead, that's fine. I clearly stated that this is serious and the precautions are needed, as of now itby Rampage2K- - Bucky's Pub
Quoteferragamo79 thought NB and Allen could just step in and they were awful let's hope McVay's ego doesn't ruin him like Martz Not worried about that....I don't think McVay and Martz could be further apart in the ego category I think the loss of Saffold and all the injuries were the biggest issues on the line last year..... some of the young guys showed some promise towards the end oby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteHouston Ram Littleton was arguably our 3rd best player on defense and if someone said he was "2b" to Jalen Ramsey being "2a", I would probably agree with you. His PFF rating was 8th IN THE LEAGUE at ILB for a reason. That was NOT an interchangeable piece by any stretch of the imagination. We have no one on the roster to replace him with.

I was mad at first too....then I remembered how badly the defense let us down last year and realized maybe it is time for a reset.

So far there is 0.00018% of the population infected in LA County....even if the cases went up 100x's (190 to 19,000) it would still be far less than 1% of the population Btw, 1 death out of the 190 cases so far....about a 0.05% death rate Yet all the media wants to show us is how bad Italy is getting hit and try to make it out like this thing is getting everyone Not trying to downplaby Rampage2K- - Bucky's Pub
Quotewaterfield People keep blaming the "media". Truth is the media is simply reporting what the various experts are reporting. Experts such as the CDC, Johns Hopins Med Center, Cleveland Clinic, Stanford Health Center, UCLA, Dr. Anthony Fauci, etc. etc. "...far from the monster..." (?) All the experts and now even the President is calling this either a "monster"by Rampage2K- - Bucky's Pub
So far 190 cases in LA county....sounds like a lot and sounds scary, but in reality that is 0.000018% of the population in LA county. Even if that number grew by 100x's it would still be far less than 1% of the population Not saying we shouldn't be taking the precautions that we have already begun to take, it is the right thing to do in slowing the spread, but let's also take a step back aby Rampage2K- - Bucky's Pub

QuoteRAMpant Defense I love TG for the great things he's done to help the Rams win, but it seems like a divorce is necessary now. He's become a malcontent and has disenfranchised himself from the team. Me too, but you kinda have to understand why he isn't too happy here lately.....

Quotecurt7 Clearly, this team is in rebuilding mode. I guess they're going to blame everything on Wade and hope to make the playoffs in 2022 or after. I wouldn't say a rebuild, more like a reset. Yes we've lost some defensive players and at first I was pretty upset about it, but then I remembered that this defense wasn't very good last year so maybe it was time for a reset.

Maybe Stan gotta tip from some very higher ups in the government that the 2020 season will be scrapped and he doesn't want to pay anybody for nothing and clear a bunch of cap space for 2021??? Only thing I can think of at this point:helpby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
