Man, I'm sure a Thursday night matchup between the Titans and Colts is going to keep you completely occupied.
I can't lie. I miss college football on Thursday nights. Now, when they start giving the Rams some prime time, that's an entirely different matter.
If the game can't keep your attention. Howzabout a couple of questions to exercise your mind? Ok, Jr. Philosophers, answer these, if you can:
- What does Steve Spagnuolo have to do, if anything, between now and the end of the season/postseason to be a legitimate contender for Coach of the Year? Possible if they win the NFC West? Not even realistic?
- Which Rams players correspond to which comic book characters?

I will answer the spags question
go 9-7 win the division… OR
go 8-8, win division and a playoff game.
Pooch punts should be illegal inside an opponents 38 yard line.
Agreed, he has some stiff competition I would imagine
The coach of the chiefs the coach of the raiders
They vote before the postseason, don't they?
I think coach of the year is done at the same time as the MVP vote, before the playoffs even start.
Last year it wasn’t announced until the first round of games had been played, but the year before it was before the WC games.
Winning the division with a 7 - 9 record isn't gonna do it.
To win Coach of the Year, not just get some votes, I think they have to have a winning record.
coaching
There are good candidates but no standout comes to mind. Raheem Morris in Tampa should get some consideration. What about Jason Garrett or Leslie Frazier?
Spags is as worthy of any, but it’s a tough sell if the Rams don’t make the playoffs OR start to fade over the last four games.
Sjax – Superman.
Adam Goldberg – Kryptonite.
Sam Bradford – Bulls Eye.
Chris Long – The Hulk.
James Laurinaitis – Hell boy.
Danny Amendola – Spiderman
Steve Spagnoulo – Jonah Jameson.
Rodger Saffold – The Thing.

Donnie Avery, but
it’d be like Flash trapped on another world and can’t help out since he’s on IR

Super heroes
Laurinaitis – Wolverine
Atogwe – Batman
C. Long – Hulk
Fred Robbins – the Thing
Sam Bradford – Goku (Super Saiyan)
SJax – Predator (not a hero, but comparisons are there)
Kevin Dockery – Mint Berry Crunch
Super villains of the NFC West
Pete Carroll- Lex Luther, with hair
Patrick Willis- Doomsday (the anti-Superman and the last intimidating villain in the NFC West)
Matt Hasslebeck- Two Face (never know which one will show up)
Arizona QBs- nameless henchmen who are easily disposed
The 49ers- Poison Ivy (every year pundits are seduced by their roster only to be dead wrong)
Derek Anderson- Syndrome from the Incredibles (which isn’t actually a comic, but he’s the whiniest villain I could think of. No real super power and couldn’t even cut it as a sidekick.)

I say this
because of his fast ability to heal from an injury and still kick-ass
Will gladly sell my soul for a championship..........
Has anyone ever seen The Maxx?
SJax reminds me of like the first episode where all those little guys are reaching out of the ground and trying to pull him under, but he busts out and rips them all apart as he runs through the field.
Good job!
I’ve enjoyed reading all of these. LOL
Go Rams...go Sammy B!!!
