It's just going to get worse.... - 12 days ago

The Internet... Social Media. But I'm not saying I have an answer for it... I don't know.... I just know it's going to get worse because there is NO going back. And of course Social Media is NOT the only cause... but IMO it's the major one. - JamesJM

Yup, we shopped for Ram's Merch.... - 12 days ago

But as I recall we found VERY little. I didn't find anything I wanted. :banghead About that pigskin toss.... Yeah.... I'm pretty sure you tossed a couple of those 55yds... and perhaps a bit more? Of course I was just eyeballing it but at that time I had just wrapped up 15+ years of coaching so I had a pretty good eye for that type of thing. And YES.... Now that you mention it I do remem

Have yours ready, Alyo? - 12 days ago

Read my reply to Avenger... be nice to have all these in one thread with no replies so it would be easy to read for everyone. - JamesJ

Copied and saved.... - 12 days ago

ScRAM and I thought it would be good to post all our board draft guru's mocks, ratings, and then pin the post to the top of the board during the draft. I copied this post and I'll be copying the others as well. Then I'll make a new thread and pin it.... it would be posted under my name but I'll credit YOU guys of course.... titled something like: "AvengerRam's Draft Board" - JamesJ

That is a great idea.... - 12 days ago

i could pin a post with their ratings.... actually anyone who'd like to contribute their ratings or mocks.... and do so just before the draft until after the draft. Thanks ScRAM... still have that ADMIN blood running thru your veins. :laughing

Deadpool is my guy..... - 13 days ago

I don't think any one in the media that's a pro at it is any better than Deadpool and most aren't as good... maybe none? So he's my guy... last couple of years I print out Deadpool's rankings and watch the draft with his ratings in my hand. But not just Deadpool... Alyo, Albany... this year ScRAM (who took a few years off).. who am I leaving out? I save their pre-draft opinions and have t

That's makes sense.... - 13 days ago

And I think you're right... Nacua and Kupp's skill sets are very similar. I'm up in the air on whether or not the 'versatility' you mention is an advantage over two similar skill set players BUT extraordinarily good at those skills. Durability is no doubt an issue... and second to the $ I think the most likely reason for moving on from Kupp.

Luke may be a country star... - 13 days ago

Like I said... I don't know him. But that song is NOT country. Unless the earth's magnetic poles shifted when I wasn't looking? :laughing

I understand moving on from Kupp.... - 13 days ago

But just need to say it once again... mistake. The money be damned. I really do not think Kupp is anywhere NEAR the end of his worth. Making it worse... is where he went because in all likelihood he's going to make us pay for it with blood, Blue and gold blood. - JamesJM

TE... well I'm the turd in the punch bowl... - 13 days ago

Because as important as the position is I NEVER want the Ram's to draft one.... not with ANY pick down to their last. Why? Because they won't use him, not as a TE that is.. I don''t think the Rams should even have a TE - I think they should just have another OL'man lined up in that position. and I do not think that would be a 'BAD' thing. And this goes WAY past McVay. It's been like since I

Yikes, I should explain.... - 13 days ago

No doubt our offensive needs the most help...not sure I see a path to fully fixing that.... I do see a path to making the D even better.

Wow, I'm in the majority... so far that is... - 13 days ago

CB....right now I can think of any position that 'could' make a bigger impact on 2025 success. But obviously that would mean nailing a great CB. Short of that... lots of positions spring to mind. LB. OL. And the most pressing concern is QB... although NOT this year, I don't think. But that's a position you get when you can. The alternative is the 90's.

Is this song as good for ANY of you as it is for me... - 13 days ago

think I posted this before... I posted it somewhere. I just can't get this song out of my head. It's fabulous.. and I don't even know who in the hell Luke Bryan is. :laughing WARNING... this is NOT for you strictly metal guys. Don't even think about it. Funny thing... the first version of this song I ever heard was NOT Luke Bryons version.. (it's his song). It was some 'techo' version

I think there is little interest today, Scott... times have changed... - 14 days ago

But no.. no CHANCE at the game itself... It would have to be the day before somewhere... in which case you BET... lots of places. Hell, my house. :laughing hehehe, Only kidding, I'm 240 miles from SoFi. but like I said... it's a different world today... I don't think one could ever duplicate Herdfest 1.... but that makes it even more special, don't you think?

Say HUH? - 14 days ago

Not how I remember it... Deb's deep dish pizza was TO DIE FOR. :laughing In fact... I need to work things out for another trip to your 'new' home for a Ram's game and some deep dish pizza.... if fact.... even withOUT a Ram's game I might stop by. :laughing Sidenote: You know what we're NEVER going to get back, Scott? Signman's tailgate... BEST I've ever been too by FAR. Even though... I

I actually guessed someone would post that in reply... - 14 days ago

Thought it would be Iowa.... which reminds me... has Iowa ever said ONE SINGLE Word on this board or has it all been videos? :lol1

Well if you're going where I think you're going... - 14 days ago

no chance for me. That is 4 gajillion times stronger today than it was in my day and I do NOT like it... fact is... I can't handle it.

Only somewhat recently have I got into coffee.... - 14 days ago

and gotta be honest... compared to you true coffee drinkers I'm a light weight. But my tastes lean this way... I do not care for Starbucks, at all. Some of the dessert drinks, (what I call them), are good, however. But the coffee? No. Here I like my own. I use Black Rifle "Murdered Out"... I like VERY strong coffee. Murdered out is the closest I've found to Italian coffee but f

Some of my family loves Sonic... - 14 days ago

I have never eaten there. Once Again... my favorite fast food is In & Out... 2nd place isn't even close. I "hear" that Wendy's Chili is excellent but again... I've never had it. Here's one that I LOVE and everyone on this board is about to tell me I couldn't eat anything worse for my health....McD's sausage/egg/cheese McMuffin. Comes with hash browns. I LOVE those thing

I'm always hearing about Cricket? - 14 days ago

I know nothing about it except the few uses I know who use it swear by it ... especially $. My guess... very limited coverage, but I don't know that. I live in one of the areas in the USA/WORLD where NOTHING top notch will ever come until it's so out of date it's bottom end notch. I can't use my cell phone outside my home... I can inside because I use Wi-fi calling. Outside it depends.

I'm having one of those 3 or 4 Scotch's needed to end the day - 14 days ago

...kind of days. No need to go into it.... you understand perfectly. One of THOSE days. Probably a good thing it's happening today because I'm scheduled for a haircut tomorrow.... whew, dodged a bullet there. Although two bad days in a row is not a rarity. - JamesJM

I remember that arm... - 14 days ago

:laughing Actually I'm semi-serious here. You were tossing the pigskin around with someone at the pre-game tailgate and I was impressed. If you remember that do you also remember who you were throwing the ball too? I do not recall. - JamesJM

Funny story.... SanFran.... - 15 days ago

We were all at Hack's place when SanFran came in from Ca. and arrived at the motel where we were all staying. I had never met him... so I got there and rang his room to come out and I'd drive him to Hack's place. He walked out... now as you know I'm like 5' 6"..... SanFran, if I'm not mistaken, is 7' 23". He's a tree. Programmer would be in that photo but I cannot recall what

Yes, Jeff I believe..... - 15 days ago

He was from a town quite near me. I think closer to 21Dog. You know... I believe, (I don't know), that Jeff had a serious health problem some years ago. My word, I had forgot about him... a truly great man. - JamesJM

Two others in that photo you mention.... - 15 days ago

RAM23 on my right and SanFran on my left.

Re: If I really look I could find more. - 15 days ago

Some I remember. Reggae, because of the Tie-Dye. SanFran, Nittany, Les, Sign Man, Bucky.... Rodger I wouldn't have guessed, only met him that once. Same for ZN. I was pretty confident about RFL. I can put a few more names to some of those in the group photos. - JamesJM QuoteScRAM Some I know from the pics ZN RFL Nittany ( we always messed with each other) Reggae (sp?) sanfRAM Ro

Won't try to name them all.... but I think one of them is RFL... - 15 days ago

Who was on this board until.... oh, maybe 10 years ago? It's the photo with 3 guys... Troy in the middle wearing #13 and I "THINK" it's RFL on the right as you're looking at the photo. I'm sure he's still a Ram fan, wherever he is today. He was from Minnesota and he and I became great friends because he and I had shared the torture of losing to the Vikes so often back in the 70's.

I can put names to a few..... - 15 days ago

but wow, that was what? 24 25 years ago? And most I never saw again.... but a few I met again... both in St. Louis and SF. So I'll leave the 'naming' to those whose memory far exceeds mine. What I do remember extremely well was the camaraderie. Herdfest will always remain one of the hi-lights of my life. For perspective, my point of view: Until the internet I did not know another Ram f

Forget to mention - Photos from ScRAM - 15 days ago

He sent these photos to me this morning.
