The Rams are actually better than their record indicates. If not for a fumble at the one-yard line and a blocked end-of-game FG, they'd be 12-1 right now.

I am mourning the loss of a giant in our field, Sheridan Blau, a friend and mentor. In his honor, I am re-posting this conversation that Penny Kittle and I had with him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K9P... My condolences to all who loved him.

Thanks, though it seems a lot to let the opponent start every possession on the 35.

Nate, why have the Rams decided to kick every kickoff into the end zone?

I really enjoyed this inside look into the making of this iconic album. It was interesting to see the revision process for many iconic songs. The insight into the creative process was fascinating.

Rob Manfred’s investigation found that the Astros cheated in the 2017 playoffs, and yet he let them keep the championship trophy. Now he reinstates Shoeless Joe Jackson, another World Series cheater. Kudos to the commissioner for his strong consistency!
