Random Ramsdom: 8/26/2010

PrintThe Rams have a new owner...sort of. It's a bit late for me, so I'm going to go straight into the links today:
- The first article isn't about the Rams. Mad Mike and Isaac Bruce are out to turn the Bears into a powerhouse offense. Even if you hated Martz, I'd still thing that somewhere deep down you're angry that Bruce isn't out there helping the young Rams receivers.
- Remember that Shahid Khan guy? Well, at least he is bowing out gracefully. In return, Kroenke did what he does best: pitch the Luxury boxes to the man.
- Mike Sando has the inside scoop on the deal. Yes, there is a focus on whether or not the team stays in STL.
- Can Bradford succeed? Sando asked some of the current Rams players who had rookie QB's in their past what needs to be done so that he doesn't turn into the next Joey Harrington.
- If you're looking for optimism; don't read this. No seriously, I'm not kidding. It took the hope right out of me. If you feel like jumping down the rabbit hole even farther, take a look at this too. Don't fret though, teams normally bounce back after a few years, or decades, if you are a Lions fan. (zinnggg!!! O.K., maybe it wasn't that good...or am I just that tired?)
- the PD has a look at the Pats game. It's definitely Bradford's night to shine, and we will all be hoping he will be.
That's all for right now, but I'm sure this place will be buzzing later on! Go Rams!

Yeah lets get back to football and forget all this moving talk
How much playing time, if any, will DX get tonight?
Man
How great is Sando? Were lucky to have the best blogger on ESPN doing the NFC West. Awesome piece on Bradford.
seriously
He is one of the only national reporters that I feel actually watches the rams before making his assesments. I really enjoy most of his articles including the not so positive ones.
Sando is really good
So is Rachel Nichols, except for her neck swagger.
She tries to be more Hollywood than she needs to be.
She is very talented and is an excellent interviewer.
She is a keeper until she starts her own show!
Kroenke tried to offer Khan Luxury Boxes?
Really?! Isn’t that adding insult to injury?
I know we aren’t talking about the Rams moving in this post, but I’m curious what people are thinking about Stan taking over. Is this a good thing (I think so short term)…
The Ticket Guys have a poll (only a few votes thus far), asking the same question.

Relative optimism but tonight will be crucial
Both articles bring good points but I believe that this year we are at a point in which if we have no injuries and the football just bounces on the right side of the field, we may have a decent season.
In my opinion tonight’s game will definitely give us a good idea of how we are going to be. The OL has shown signs of improvement and Bradford will play with Steven Jackson for the first time. If Shurmur opens up the playbook a bit so we are not so predictable, our offense may actually earn some respect. It would be great having a good couple of games to end the preseason and go to the Cardinals game with a huge confidence boost. I believe that game has the potential to define our season. There is nothing like a team that believe in itself. I still remember a couple of years ago when we beat the Cowboys and Redskins and were close to beating the Patriots away the following week. If we would have beaten the Patriots that day, I am sure we would have won several more games that season.
Go Rams!
I hope they
run a play action pass on the first play of the game and throw the ball down the field.

seriously ive been wondering why they dont play action and go deep on first down
the defense is so zoned in on steven and they would never expect it on first down

I read the
not so optimistic stuff. All that stuff that scout said is basically true. We’ve heard all of it before. The offensive line is not as bad as people are saying. Lots of group think. Jason Smith did look awful at Minnesota – but I don’t think anyone thinks that’s who he is as a player. We’ve seen him play pretty well. I heard Jim Hanifan on the radio the other day, and he was saying that he thought Smith was our most talented lineman and that he needed to be at LT.
We don’t have a lot of depth on the O-line, but amongst the starters there’s some talent there. My crazy optimistic projection is that we’ll win 5 games this year. I can’t necessarily find them, even on our weak schedule – but I think we win 5 games.
Recast live on NFL network
For us Nor Cal fans, the game will be recast on NFL network at 8 PM PST tonight.
probably not on email
but check turf show times when the game starts. Last week they were doind a live game running post and the people commenting back and forth were giving different websites that were showing the game live. I didn’t need it because it was on tv here but supposedly one of the sites was really good and in hd.
the file would probably be too large for emails
However, there are ways of downloading it if need be…but someone has to have the file on their computer to begin with to do it (it can’t be a streaming site, like JustinTV).
Seeing as how the NFL has strict copying rights, any such way would probably be illegal.
Sam Bradford drops back, sees Laurent Robinson in the open, and he completes the pass for a gain of 28! Oh- Wait, looks like a holding penalty is going to call this one back...(Oh wait; Barron's gone, ignore that last sentence).
Torrent
torrents are files that coordinate the transfer of giant files (like full-feature Hollywood movies) that are spread into bits and peices across many user’s computers. So, no need for one giant file if a few people have pieces. You can get any thing you want at PirateBay. Or Alice’s Restaurant. :)

That's what I was thinking of
I thought he was asking if someone could just email him the game.
But still, it is illegal. Whether you choose to do so is obviously up to you, but still…Move ahead with caution.
Either that or it could just be compressed and shot through a direct download site.
