Generally speaking, this is the slow time of year for NFL content, so content like trade grades and wild hypotheticals are the go-to option for full-time writers, broadcasters, etc. to keep the football-crazed masses satiated.

As it stands, I don’t think we know who the backup quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams will be going into the 2026 season. That person may not even be on the roster yet, or they could be. We really don’t know, and that makes the situation worth monitoring. It’s possible that Ty Simpson and […]
David Lombardi from The SF Standard is often a lightning rod in his coverage of the San Francisco 49ers. His latest take is sure to stir debate between fans of the Los Angeles Rams and within the NFC West. “Mike Evans will likely have a bigger positive impact on the 49ers than Myles Garrett has […]
The idea of Aaron Donald returning for another shot at a Super Bowl has Rams’ fans daydreaming about another parade next February and trying to figure out if they’d be better off camping out on Jefferson Boulevard or Figueroa Street for the best views. And just like daydreaming after buying a lottery ticket, you realize […]
Although the Los Angeles Rams belong to Matthew Stafford, rookie quarterback Ty Simpson and his development will certainly be the talk of training camp. First-round picks often dominate headlines when there is no real football to talk about. Simpson will be no exception. What have we learned about Simpson through reports from Rams organized team […]
Details continue to emerge about Alaric Jackson’s recent legal troubles, a potential suspension, and the fallout for the Los Angeles Rams.

The Los Angeles Rams’ left tackle job is potentially in a state of flux after starter Alaric Jackson was arrested earlier this week. This incident comes mere months after a different domestic issue for Jackson that was reported on in November, not to mention a two-game suspension back in 2024. This is not a space […]
Sean McVay canceled his team’s mandatory mini-camp in a move similar to what Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers also recently did. Why did McVay cancel the mini-camp? You can do your own research, but I would think he feels the team got enough work in recently, or because he wants to give the […]
Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who is the team doctor for both the L.A. Rams and L.A.

Sports fans witnessed history Wednesday evening when the Knicks roared back from a 29-point deficit to defeat the Spurs. It marked the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.

Adam Schefter reports that Ty Simpson remains unsigned by the Los Angeles Rams as they continue to work on his rookie deal. Funnily enough the other first round quarterback taken in the 2026 NFL Draft, Fernando Mendoza, also remains unsigned. Both quarterbacks signing with their respective teams seems like a matter of when not if. […]
The Los Angeles Rams are the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl in 2026. At +600 odds, they have an implied probability of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy at roughly 14%. By the very nature of 14%, the Rams probably will not win the Super Bowl this year. Saying this is not a knock against […]
It may seem fortuitous that—at the same time—the Los Angeles Rams may potentially lose LT Alaric Jackson to suspension the Kansas City Chiefs saw veteran Wanya Morris request a trade. Sometimes fixes are written in the stars, such as earlier this offseason when the Chiefs were reluctant to pay Trent McDuffie long-term and the Rams […]
Sometimes a team’s chances of winning a game are only as good as the reinforcements they can call up from the practice squad. The Los Angeles Rams have one of the most talented starting lineups in the NFL going into next season, but who do they have backing up the backups? On Monday, I wrote […]
I like Dan Campbell a lot, man, and I think he’s shown be can be a great NFL coach or at the very least, deserving of being a head coach at the NFL level. His comments following the Los Angeles Rams trade for Myles Garrett are fun as he basically says the Rams already won […]
It was a little while ago, but Sean McVay completed an interview with Jamie Maggio where he broke down what he looks for come schedule release time. He claims it’s not too compliacted as he simply starts by looking at who the team plays in Week One, followed by looking at the team’s bye week […]
“You can’t just win a Super Bowl and walk away…It’s like you want to experience that again.” That quote from Aaron Donald during his recent podcast conversation with Cameron Heyward is the kind of statement that will inevitably get Los Angeles Rams fans talking. Donald officially retired following the 2023 season, walking away from the […]
Pressure on the Los Angeles Rams to win in 2026 has only ramped up following the team’s trade for Myles Garrett.

Cardinals linebacker Mack Wilson said what he was supposed to say about his own team on Tuesday.

[…]
Depending on the seriousness of Alaric Jackson’s situation, there’s a chance he’s suspended at some point during the 2026 season.

The Myles Garrett trade should make the team better, much […]
On the same day that the Rams got the news that Alaric Jackson was arrested on domestic violence charges and could miss significant time this season, another left tackle has hit the trade block.

Since the Los Angeles Rams traded for Myles Garrett last week, rumors have surfaced regarding a possible Aaron Donald return. Despite everything the future Hall of Famer gave the Rams during his illustrious career, an AD comeback story would be a massive mistake in 2026. For one, it’s hard to return to anything after years […]
The offseason is a great time to catch up on football movies. What’s your favorite? As I was putting together this list, I was struck by how many of them are underdog stories. At least, the ones I preferred are. I have no time for a film like ‘The Water Boy’ even though it’s one […]
