I like reading the articles from the dedicated writers and agree that there is a ton of trash & clickbait. As far as who pays, the consumer or the advertisers or a mix of both it just depends on your marketing strategy. In the case of the Athletic the subscriber cost is nominal which is a win win for most of us.

The way she threw Sean Mcvay under the bus & her crap reporting really was upsetting.

—I’m just the dust has settled & The Rams are on track again with a young team.

Jourdon IMO is good for The Rams Fans in the sense of the question she asks.I don’t need to read what she writes,because she will put her own twist on it weather right or wrong.

Agree to disagree on this one...

As I recall it, McVay was purposely downplaying Kupp's hamstring injury and his tone and body language were strongly implying it was just a "tweak" and Kupp was "day to day". It was only after Jourdan pressed him multiple times that McVay grudgingly acknowledged the word "setback" might be appropriate. So I don't have a problem with Jourdan leading with the word "setback" because she had to work so hard to get the truth out of McVay.

I think Jourdan does a fantastic job and calls it how she sees it. If she thinks the Rams are being stupid about the backup QB position (which they were), she points it out. But if she thinks McVay and the Rams are showing impressive grit and mental toughness (which they are), she'll point that out too, as she did in her column last week.

Plenty of Rams reporters have been just awful about stoking that "negative vibe" about the Rams, as you rightly describe. (Jim Thomas and Bernie and Lindsay Thiry were terrible in that regard). But I see Jourdan as being 90% positive on the Rams, and only criticizes when she has good reason to do so.

Quite honestly Jourdan has heaped a ton of praise on McVay and Snead and the whole Rams organization... maybe you haven't seen some of it...? There have been plenty of troll-ish Rams reporters, but IMO Jourdan is definitely not one of them.

I give her credit as stated above.I do also believe she is a sellout. I like that she gets down & dirty on her questions.
—Maybe I wrong in one sense,but I think if she sat on her story & would have appreciated her more.
As the call cheap goes for some,I fit that category.
—The thing is is I would have paid & respected her a lot more for having better morals.She lost credibility with The Rams organization as well & it was easy to see the dancing on eggshells.
 
This JB & Demarco Mcvay show was probably THE BEST I’ve seen this week.It really makes all The Rams players shine.

On this note, the video they show of AD and Turner skipping to the bench after the safety is absolutely priceless. The players AND COACHES are going nuts. You can't see this view from the TV feed as far as I found...

JB is so dialed in & thoughtful with his questions.He just does an excellent job & he goes nuts in the booth.Demarco as former DT is in Awh at both players.

IMO Turner is doing better than AD coming out of Pittsburgh.It blows my mind how much AD99 improves season in & season out.

What Ram Fans such as say BubbaRam fail to realize is Bobby Brown is still The Youngest Ram on defense 3 seasons in his NFL career as a DT.
IMO his upside is HUGE!!
Derion Kendrick in his 2nd season is still younger than Tomlinson.A lot of Fans are so fast to CRITICIZE & really don’t enjoy the process & development of players .

—The 2020 DRAFT was a BUST!!!
Les Snead drafting in 2021 in his garage looking back was sort of CRAZY?? He did really well without Mcvay getting involved as much ? I mean looking back & thinking 2020 The Rams had there highest draft capital under Mcvay ??

it’s SHOCKING to me that Cam Akers & Van Jefferson are still not Rams.T.Lewis released at this time last season.Then again The Rams let D.Henderson go as well & now he is back.Mcvay has a system & it’s ALWAYS been about WE!!! Rams first .

Cheers
 
That interview with the Barefoot wines can be pretty good.Kevin Demoffs shows his intensity & control of being a visionary.

His talk about Westlake shows UCI’s future is just about over ?
Depends on a few things though? If The Rams want to get away? Mcvay might have a big say in that & what that means (history) means to his wife. I just think having a LA RAMS TOWN & everything being LA RAMS ? Why go into The OC ?
The Chargers?? Who knows ?? My hope is NOT,but I don’t see how The Rams are not going to be ALL LA.

Ohtani signing with the Dodgers.Why Artie was so stubborn to trade him just shows
how BAD of a decision it was.He pushed his chips ALL IN! Now LA is ALL DODGERS BLUE!!

As a LA Fan who plays GM.Looking back my vision was there.However my dad was going to die,but signing Albert Puljus really hurt. I’m going off on a Different direction. Continue.
 
I know get into my own head.I call it heady,but was told I’m using the word wrong ? I disagree.

Ohtani just signed a $700 million dollar contract today.

The LA Lakers just won the First EVER in Season Championship.LaBron James won MVP.Ohtani this month won MVP as an Angel & is now a Dodger.

Ohtani almost signed with Toronto.The Bluejays have a few youngsters who were ANGEL Greats!! Vlade & Donte

Mike Trout which I saw was draft on the MLB channel being drafted after Gridlich ?? He played with & traded for again this season from Colorado.He played with St. Louis.

Point being connecting St.Louis with The Rams & Angels(Lakers). Jenni Buss just won The FIRST EVER NBA in game CHAMPIONSHIP!! I think that might get overlooked??

Jackie & Georgia all won championships as well,

Speaking of GREATS The Molina Family.St.Louis had a HOF catcher that The Angels should have drafted.It’s no brained to keep history & family together. Does Brawny player with his dad ?

Albert Pulhuas finished his career as a Dodger & Cardinal.
I just go back in time & think what could have been.There are times in scouting & decision making that need to happen.The Angels made a trade & didn’t sign a HOF player
in Adrian Beltre. Traded Mike Napoli to Toronto who traded him right away to Texas.Talk about a curse.

My dad would have lived another 2 months enjoying what he lived most in LIFE. Watching Angels baseball.He never saw Ohtani.My neighbor were Angel Fans.One mother of an announcer just makes me know I would have been solid with the Angels.The paths & moments I was in over my life.

I know I’m crazy in my own head
& think Ron Washington is a good hire.Perry does ok & is aggressive & never stops taking chances & is aggressive as a GM!! The Angels giving up this catcher who if he is good with The Whitesox will PISS ME OFF BADLY!!

Not trading Ohtani is one thing.Giving away a solid prospect is another.Oniwing The Dodgers saved money last offseason to sign Ohtani is what pisses me off even more.

Ohtani was still pitching & hitting better than BABE RUTH !!
What’s that worth ? Maybe the Dodgers winning a World Series.

I don’t HATE The Dodgers that much!!! If anyone knows my Life history would go wow!!

The Angels & Rams history? Yeah - I just can’t stop thinking about it all. Jackie might have been cheap & didn’t spend!!

Go back & look at The Cardinals & EX/ Angel Players ? To sign ALBERT to a $500 million dollar contract?

Texas ??? Josh Hamilton The Drug addict ?? Now Ron Washington might have done a little Coke over the years.I’m down with that.One of my favorite Angels got caught down Harbor Blvd buying??

Mike Trout has been around Angels Death & to look at The Cardinals deaths of pitchers gets overlooked,but still there is a connection in some way.Call it BAD LUCK.

Jackie for all it was worth solid The Angels to Artie(The Beer Drinker) & it hurts to know since my dad has been died The Angels have had one of the highest payrolls & a chance to change The Franchise with just trading Ohtani & BUILD!!

The Rams are showing BUILDING with CORE Players. The Lakers under Jackie is a thing of Beauty.She is allowing LABRON JAMES do LABRON JAMES even with all The Haters!!
38-39 breaking Kareem’s all time record & watching both

LABRON JAMES & KAREEM ABULA JABOR both enjoying The Rams Beat Cleveland where The Rams started from. Kareem eating a hot dog the way he did & Labron with his feet up at SOFI & 6 days later holding up

The First EVER Championship in season Trophy as a LA LAKER!! His son getting ready to start his college career at USC. Me not knowing who it really cares who won the Heisman,but knowing Williams & Lincoln Kennedy at USC won it last season & Williams probably going to be THE NUMBER 1 PiCK in The NFL 2024!!

Anyways that my crazy late night early morning post.I can always go more,but there are a lot of connections & Just want to say I missed a lot of music tonight,but stayed inside & enjoyed watching Calivibes & Stick Figure.Johnny from both them & KBONG. My pickleball buddy was playing tonight.

Funny Kbong & Stickfigure both playing Calivibes this year.I just think there talent is underrated & wish them the best in life!! You know music is from the heart.KROW had there Xmas as well at the Forum.

Just brings me back getting drunk on Prairie Boulevard with a bottle of Red walking from the casino & finishing my night playing cards.Knowing talking to a policeman double fisted with a couple beautiful ales.That The Rams we’re coming back to LA.I believe it was 2014(13).(15).

This all said Thank You Stan Kronke probably The Best Sports Owner EVER..

What’s funny is another connection & TELL was Magic Johnson called Stan Kronke’s BLUFF!! Those 2 were bidding on The Dodgers!! Kronke went ALL IN!!!

Does anyone ever remember or hear about this & The History??
What IF ?? Could any Rams Fan Imagine??

I don’t even know what the rules would have been ? Would Stan have had an OUT to LA with The Rams ??

Magic Johnson changed The DODGERS for the better ! He almost ruined The Lakers & Jenni Buss said Your Fired.

Could any ever think about The Bills being The Toronto if that guy got his way ??

Just thinking it was best Ohtani is a Dodger even if I’m an Angels Fan I might have to go & watch him pitch as a Dodger in a couple of years.

Still need to go to SOFI & should have booked tickets to NY for New Years. That’s all my connections in Life.To think I would have been golfing today in NY(LI) with Family.Really am Blessed & having a Great experience today.

What’s special is in an hour I actually get up & then need to find a bar(sports) & watch The Rams & Ravens.
Looking back 2021/22 Jan. 2 The Rams played The Ravens.So NY on the 31st is big,but thinking back without Lamar Jackson The Rams won at Baltimore & Jalen hit Taylor.The next week Eric Weedle was a Rams & that game was almost lost.That IMO was the key to The Rams Superbowl so enjoy win or lose.

We as Ram Fans are Blessed!!
