Gregg Williams’ “bounty” program in Washington and New Orleans has torn the lid off one of the NFL’s dirty little secrets. Competition brings out the best – and sometimes the worst – in all of us. Whether you’re watching games on the couch, screaming “KILL HIM!” or just silently wishing it, or actually in the […]

You know the mock draft season has started in earnest when the Twitter-wide 32-team 7-round mock draft games start.

It wasn’t quite Julio Jones-spectacular, but Michael Floyd had himself a very good combine. While writing up the biggest risers and fallers among WRs in the NFL Combine for ThisGivenSunday, it was hard not to take notice of the very good day Notre Dame’s Michael Floyd had. In a way, this was his Super Bowl, […]

The Rams followed through on Jeff Fisher’s commitment to hire a quarterbacks coach this week, reportedly recruiting former Rutgers offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti Jr. The move is welcome just from the standpoint of having […]

For Josh McDaniels, returning to the New England Patriots after architecting the NFL’s worst offense with the St Louis Rams must have felt like waking up from a horrible nightmare. At first. Before his moment of redemption in the Super Bowl was taken down by the same freak occurrence that haunted his existence in St […]

The points in the CVC’s message to Stan Kroenke’s London plan can be counted on one finger. When it comes to the big question hanging over the St Louis Rams’ future – where will they play home games in 2015 – the ball is in the court of the St Louis Convention and Visitor’s Center. […]

Jeff Fisher kept us waiting, and all credible reporters depicted him as being evenly torn between becoming the next coach of the St Louis Rams, or the Miami Dolphins. NFL.com’s Albert Breer summed it up like this: @AlbertBreer: My sense of it, talking to folks who know him, is the football side pulls him to St. […]

Jeff Fisher is at the point in his career where doesn’t do job interviews in the conventional sense. He is the proven commodity, the best available guy not named Bill Cowher.

How much time will Josh McDaniels spend looking back on his time as a Ram? 30 seconds, give or take. Well, that was quick. For a few days, Josh McDaniels was the lone member of the St Louis Rams coaching staff, after all of his bosses and co-workers were relieved of their duties. For the […]

Steve Spagnuolo approached his job as head coach of the Rams with a simple mantra: do the little things right, and the rest (i.e. winning) will take care of itself. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t get the little things right. And the rest did not, in fact, take care of itself. Bernie Miklasz wrote yesterday […]
