Rogers is playing like Betty White.

How much you figure the Gatorade bitch gets paid to carry that tray around?

It's the NFL, they pay for the privilege.

Man, that FG shank at the end of the Vikings-Seahawks game. 

I saw a vid of that on YouTube a fan shot from within the stadium... from where they were sitting they couldn't see that it didn't go in and they were celebrating for like 30 seconds till someone went "Uhhhhh.... it missed dudes"

I had that exact same experience in September at the Texas-Cal game. Texas scored a touchdown down 45-38 with seconds left in the game and I was all high fiving and celebrating and then the guy beside me was all 'you know they just missed the extra point right?'

Whoops.

I was talking about the dude who walks around with a tray full of Gatorade to all the players.

Yes, I was making a joke.


My guess 30k has a part time.

Long live the LA Rams?!?

Long live the LA Rams?!?

Good news.  St. Louis sucks.  San Diego deserves its own team.

Also I heard Oakland may move soon in another year.

[jimmy olsen]

St. Louis is certainly big and wealthy enough to deserve their own team.

If I was the owner of the Jaguars I'd start packing the moving van immediately.

Well Tim, just keep saving up a portion of your ESL teaching stipend, and when your piggy bank accumulates ~$1 billion, you can buy the team and pack that moving van.

I like Saint Louis, but Jacksonville is way better.

[Eddie Teach]

It doesn't really have enough people to support a pro team, but then St Louis doesn't have enough to support 3.


If San Diego "deserves" to have the Chargers and Padres as its teams, I wonder what they did wrong.

I'm sure the Rams draw a lot more fans to their stadium and  have much better TV ratings than the Jaguars.

Former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips found dead in prison

Lawrence Phillips was the sixth overall pick in the 1996 NFL draft.
Lawrence Phillips' sad tale came to a tragic end on Wednesday. The troubled former NFL running back was found dead in prison, according to a press release from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Phillips was 40.
The death is being investigated as a suspected suicide. According to the press release, Phillips was found unresponsive at 12:05 a.m. on Wednesday when the staff at Kern Valley State Prison was conducting security checks. He was transported to an outside hospital where he was pronounced dead at 1:27 a.m.

Phillips had been serving 31 years for two separate incidents. In 2005 he twice choked his girlfriend. Later that year he attacked three teens with his car after a pickup football game. He was in prison for inflicting great bodily injury involving domestic violence, corporal injury to a spouse, false imprisonment and vehicle theft.

Phillips was also facing murder charges for killing his cellmate, 37-year-old Damion Soward, who was strangled to death at Kern Valley State Prison last April. Phillips was charged with first-degree murder in September. The CDCR release said Phillips was in the first stages of his trial in Soward's death.

Phillips had a rocky life, and that included his NFL career. He found himself in trouble at the University of Nebraska, including a suspension for an incident in which he allegedly dragged his ex-girlfriend by her hair down a flight of stairs. Phillips was still drafted sixth overall by the St. Louis Rams in 1996. After unproductive play on the field and more trouble off it, the Rams cut him. He played briefly with the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins before he was out of the NFL for good after the 1999 season. He averaged just 3.4 yards in the NFL. He tried playing in the Arena Football League, NFL Europe, the Canadian Football League, but never caught on for very long in any of those leagues.

I am sure Tom Osborne feels great at being such a great mentor and father-figure to him.

Yahoo has clickbait to its own article, "Ex-NFL Bust Lawrence Phillips Found Dead". Man yahoo sucks. The dude had a troubled life, but if you want to focus on his football, he was a lot more than an NFL bust.
