So we’re reverting back to comedy!!! SUPERB! I’ve always been one to enjoy laughter from time to time..
It’s just usually appreciated at Comedy Clubs!

The worst loss in Home Franchise history? Pshh, I could of swore we’ve already lived through that wonderful moment with Brooks, but ok..
What do we do now? You ask

..Hope and pray for a better day, Sirs…before we’re old and damn gray!

Hell, you got what you wanted, Boo Birds. Bruce Gradkowski lit it up like an inferno! 4 TD’s, 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards and ate a Turkey on the sideline!!!!
Oops..sorry… my mind wanders.

Sure, Jam has his terrible, horrible and idiotic moments, but he’s not the only problem and we all know it!
The run Defense STILL couldn’t catch a back to save their own lives…even with the NY Jets number 2 RB out with an injury. The team logged 316 total rushing yards and looked fresh the entire game. This problem has followed us since the start of 2003 season!!! You’d think we would have had the leaky roof fixed by now, but I guess we keep thinking it will be fixed with duck tape instead of new shingles!!!

Murphy and Heyward-Bey STILL stick to the corners like Peanut Butter sticks to bread. Catching??!?! Hey, one thing at a time, Dog!
Yes whiners, I know Crabtree had a better day and I still don’t care. You still lost. This game was never about individuals anyways, you delusional Bastards.
I guess we can only really know how bad/good our Wides are in a few years. Only then will I give ‘em the Sith Lord choke if they’re not productive!
O-line? Next…
D backs? Who needs ‘em when Thomas Jones is running faster than the Flash? Doesn’t it seem like Chris Johnson has reverted back to a 2nd stringer?
Shane Lechler? MVP! MVP! MVP!
Coaching? At least no one’s Jaw was broke….
uh, yet.

I say again…help us Chaz Schilens, you’re our only hope.

Summary:
Mark Sanchez had to apologize for his sideline demeanor again. This time, he was hot-dogging it. Literally.
Sanchez shook off the worst start of his young career by running for one touchdown and throwing for another, before taking time to munch on a snack in the closing minutes of a 38-0 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Sanchez was criticized last week for looking dejected on the sideline while throwing five interceptions in an overtime loss to Buffalo. He was happy enough after this performance that he was caught by television cameras trying to discretely eat a hot dog at the end of the blowout.
“I want to apologize for that,” he said. “I wasn’t feeling very good and didn’t eat much before the game, so I was feeling a little queasy. Toward the end of the game, I probably should have eaten one of those bars or something, but someone offered (a hot dog), so I grabbed it and tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn’t have done that, and it won’t happen again.”

I’m just surprised it wasn’t a Taco. (Hey, I can say that as I am also on Team Bean) .

The game plan for the Jets (4-3) was to take pressure off Sanchez and they did just that by forcing four turnovers and becoming the first team in 34 years to run for at least 300 yards in two straight games. And that was after losing Leon Washington indefinitely to a broken right leg.
The Jets started two of their first three drives at the Oakland 4 after turnovers by JaMarcus Russell, setting up touchdown runs by Thomas Jones and Sanchez.
“It makes it so easy on the offense when your defense is playing like that,” Sanchez said. “Hats off to them, they had a heck of a game to shut that team out. I don’t care who we’re playing, that’s a big-time accomplishment for our team.”
It was so bad for Oakland that Russell, its former No. 1 overall pick, was benched in the first half after committing three early turnovers. This was the most lopsided home loss in the 50-year history of the Raiders (2-5). They were shut out at home for the fifth time ever, with four coming in the past four seasons. The crowd of 39,354 was the smallest since the team returned to Oakland in 1995.

Pretty soon it will be just me and the lucky Pigeon.

“I don’t think we could have beaten an Oakland high school team today,” said defensive lineman Richard Seymour, who earlier in the week said the Raiders would make the playoffs.
Rookie Shonn Greene ran for 144 yards and two scores, and Jones had 121 on 26 carries as the Jets ended up with 316 on the ground.
Calvin Pace beat right tackle Khalif Barnes on the first play from scrimmage, sacking Russell and forcing a fumble that Marques Douglas recovered at the 4. Jones eventually scored from the 1 on fourth down.
Jim Leonhard then intercepted a badly overthrown ball by Russell, who was pressured by David Harris, and returned it 44 yards to the 4. Two plays later, Sanchez scored on a 3-yard quarterback draw.
Sanchez got into the act passing the ball in the second half with a pretty 35-yard strike to David Clowney, but by that point it didn’t really matter as the blowout was already on. Sanchez was 9 for 15 for 143 yards with no interceptions.
“Sanchez was great,” Ryan said. “He was just smart with the football. I think sometimes he could have put the ball on a receiver, but he was making sure the ball wasn’t intercepted. It was great to see him respond.”
The Raiders came in full of confidence following last week’s 13-9 victory over Philadelphia. The week got only better when the Napa County district attorney announced Thursday he would not file charges against Cable for an alleged attack on a former defensive assistant.
But any good feeling ended as soon as this game started, as Oakland lost by at least 20 points for the fourth time in five weeks.

Thank the Lord for Basketball season.

Other Notes:
Ok I looked it up again…This was TRULY Oakland’s worst home loss in club history.

The Raiders were held without a touchdown for the third time this season. Sign Kolb…yesterday.

Russell has committed 13 turnovers and completed just 46 percent of his passes in a horrific start to his third NFL season. He has been booed heavily in the past three home games and was finally benched late in the second quarter.
“I thought he was really out of sorts early in the game,” Cable said. “I just did not feel like at that point he gave us the best chance to have the success we needed to have offensively and made the move. JaMarcus will continue to be our starter. There is no issue there.”

Russell was 6 for 11 for 61 yards, with two interceptions and a fumble. He disagreed with his coach’s assessment, saying he felt just fine but that the results weren’t there.
“I’ve never been in that situation,” he said. “It was kind of shocking to me at first.”

What’s really shocking, Jam? HONESTLY? Is when you play like an average Quarterback!!!

Backup Bruce Gradkowski also lost a fumble to end one potential scoring drive and failed to convert on fourth-and-goal in the closing minutes.

Someone pass the Tequila.

Still love you all, Nation! Sometimes? We’re all we got!!!!
Infinite Peace,
-DR

There are truly no words to express how the local Raider Fans who attended Sunday’s game had felt after our Raiders grounded the Philadelphia Eagles 13-9.
We all kept looking at each other…stunned, amazed ..astonished, even.
Finally, we were all in celebration mode..
“Well, I guess it’s about time for another 1st F#@ing down call! 1….2….3!!” I shout.
“FIRST DOWN!!” The crowd chants.

Lord, I swear it felt like the old days.
It also actually felt like we still mattered again in the NFL…like our team was only hibernating for only a few weeks, that’s all.
It felt like we could defeat anyone that day.
Sure, I know YOU, the typical fan, could never believe that..
But if you really have watched enough Football in your time, you’d know this game is won by simply gaining more continuous momentum than your opponent…
and boy, did we have momentum.

The Defense played off the charts, chain and radar!!! SIX damn sacks were totaled and more hurries than you could even dream of!
Richard Seymour had 4 tackles, 1 forced fumble and 2 kills to call his own. Trevor Scott had 2 sacks in the 1st Quarter and was playing like a mad man possessed. Stanford Routt had the game of his life after Nnamdi left the game after his eye was poked badly..(making him a true Oakland Raider).
Fargas also proved he’s worth a damn rushing for 87 yards and killing clock like a true Starter should. Take that D-Mac! How about Gary Russell?? (5 for 55 yards) He was running for his life on that last screen pass…
Not bad for a kid resigned just this past week.

Hell, I still can’t believe I’m here writing all of this to you. Can you believe it? The light bulb was finally working!!!

Jam Russell? What can ya say? He finally grew up in the face of adversity. He didn’t even seem to be phased with all of the 1st Quarter boos coming his way. He didn’t trip, complain or get frustrated after things got bad….he simply balled. Nice spin move by the way, biggie.

Sure, it was still sloppy on offense and I know we still have a long way to go, but to show progress against one of the NFL’s best teams?
That, my friends.. is victory in itself!!!!

Summary:
Louis Murphy sprinted upfield and laid out a defender with a punishing block. Not satisfied, he caught up to the play again and delivered a second block that allowed Zach Miller to cruise into the end zone on an 86-yard catch-and-run.
For an offense criticized for lacking big plays, intensity and leadership, a rookie receiver gave the Oakland Raiders all three in one play that answered the skeptics.
Miller scored the only touchdown of the game, Justin Fargas helped control the clock by rushing for 87 physical yards and Oakland’s defense harassed Donovan McNabb all day in a 13-9 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
“We went out and threw a fight on somebody and said, ‘Enough. Let’s play,”‘ coach Tom Cable said. “That’s all you can say. There’s no magic words or anything like that.”

Leave the magical stuff to me, Coach Cable. I actually made Green Akers miss those Field Goals. The force is strong with this one.

It was a major turnaround from the last three weeks when the Raiders (2-4) lost by at least 20 points for the first time in franchise history, capped by a 44-7 loss to the Giants last week.
After that game, New York linebacker Antonio Pierce said it felt like playing a scrimmage. Those comments were posted in the Raiders’ locker room this week and the team responded to the critics in impressive fashion.
“That gave me extra fuel,” Murphy said. “You have to look yourself in the mirror and man up. His comments were true. We played flat. We didn’t play with any emotion. This game was totally different. We took those comments to heart.”

Glad to hear it, sir.

The key Sunday was the Oakland defense. Coordinator John Marshall mixed in more zone coverages and blitzes than usual to combat a high-powered Philadelphia offense that was averaging the second-most points in the league.

The Eagles abandoned the run early, only had Michael Vick on the field for two plays, allowed six sacks and were the first team in three years to fail to score a touchdown against the Raiders.
“They were able to get home and hit our quarterback,” coach Andy Reid said. “When we did have opportunities we didn’t take advantage of opportunities.”
Philadelphia’s last chance ended when McNabb underthrew DeSean Jackson on fourth-and-4 from the Oakland 44 with 2:14 remaining.
David Akers missed a pair of field goals for the Eagles (No Thanks necessary), a 43-yarder wide left in the first quarter and a 47-yarder wide right in the third quarter that proved crucial down the stretch.
McNabb finished 22 for 46 for 269 yards. He struggled without left tackle Jason Peters, who left in the first quarter with an injured left knee.
“I’m embarrassed by the way we came out here and played. We’re a much better football team,” McNabb said.
Richard Seymour and Trevor Scott each had a pair of sacks for Oakland as the Eagles ran the ball just 14 times against a defense missing star cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha for much of the game with an eye injury.

Other Notes:
- Eagles K David Akers missed two field goals in a game for the first time since Week 14 of last year.

- The last time these two teams played in Oakland was in 1995 when the Raiders won 48-17. I believe we scored 48 unanswered points in our 1st “Return to the Bay” Opener.

- Zach Miller’s 86-yard touchdown catch was the Raiders’ longest since 1984.

- Entering the game, Oakland had nine sacks. We had six against the Eagles. Thank you, John Marshall.
- Vick had one carry for minus-4 yards and was on the field for one incomplete pass by McNabb.
Sometimes, I wish rapid Dogs could take the field as D-Linemen.
“I’m sure they watched the Giants game and thought we were sorry,” Scott said. “But all week coach Cable talked about persevering and forget the past and move forward so we can get to where we want to go.”
Keep moving forward!!!

-JaMarcus Russell iced the game with a 12-yard pass to Gary Russell on third-and-10. He ran out the clock after that to the delight of the fans, who began the game by booing their quarterback.
Russell completed 17 of 28 passes for 224 yards, with two interceptions and the touchdown to Miller that was the longest pass play in years.
Russell found Miller open over the middle on a pass 16 yards downfield. Miller then ran up the sideline and got sprung by a devastating block by Murphy that flattened Quintin Mikell. As Miller got close to the end zone, he slowed up to give Murphy time to catch up and block Ellis Hobbs to help complete the 86-yard catch and run.
“I came over to him and was like, ‘Man, that’s the best two blocks I’ve ever seen from a wide receiver,”‘ Miller said. “I have to buy him something now. He deserves it.”
Get him some stick ‘em, glue, paste, etc..

Show up for the Jets, kids. That goes to the fans AND our new Redeem team!!!
Maybe we’re just starting to warm up….

PEACE!
-DR

It’s the hangover that never stops!! On Sunday, you’re still wondering why you even bother turning on your TV!!! You could always be doing something a little more constructive, couldn’t you? There’s buying Groceries, washing clothes, visiting your old friends, shopping for that new shirt you wanted, going to the movies, playing Arkham Asylum, buying Comics, looking into the Sun…etc etc
You then choose to turn it on for shits and giggles. Who knows? Maybe Mike Bush had the game of his life? Maybe Nnamdi received a gift and took one to the house?

You suddenly realize you should never should of awoke from your wonderful slumber.

For Heaven n’ Hells sake, why even hope? I suggest to all fans now…PLEASE bring a Newspaper or book to the game (away on the tube or home). It’s the only thing that makes the time move more rapidly than usual.

All jokes aside, maybe the team will improve dramatically with Cable locked up. I believe the team we’ll break on “I’ll f#!ing kill you!” in his honor.
Other thoughts:
Maybe we’ll get to see our team compete again in 2012? I think Al will grow tired of DuhMarcus by then.
Maybe that Monday night team was a figment of our imaginations..(at least those guys competed)
Maybe the old man should be looking at QB free Agents RIGHT NOW..
Maybe our young Receivers have ALWAYS been the root of the problem..
Maybe our injury prone O Line has regressed and will always be at the top of our priority list..
Maybe we all should do something different than suffer this week’s up and coming loss..most likely, in the rain, Homers..
Maybe not.
The Lord of the Sith shall forever be a glutton for punishment. I still await the day to be the lone soul in the Coliseum. I think that day may be coming in the not too distant future.
At least I’ll finally be able to sit anywhere I please! I can’t wait!!!!

Summary:
After taking the opening snap and making a play-action fake, Eli Manning dropped back, set up with a bounce on his right heel and fired a 9-yard pass to tight end Darcy Johnson.
Any concerns about Easy Eli’s painful right heel were answered on the first play of his 83rd consecutive start Sunday.
Manning threw two scoring passes and led the Giants on touchdown drives on their first four possessions in a 44-7 win over the hapless Oakland Raiders that has New York (5-0) off to its best start since winning the Super Bowl in 1990.
“At the end, it was picture perfect,” said Manning, who was 8 of 10 for 173 yards, needing to play less than a half in the rout. “Just get in there and score, score quickly, score a lot and then rest it and make sure you don’t put more strain on it or make it more sore tomorrow. It turned out really well.”
Manning led the Giants on scoring drives of 77, 79, 94 and 13 yards in what was easily his most effective performance this season.
His touchdown passes covered 30 yards to Mario Manningham and 9 yards to first-round draft pick Hakeem Nicks. He played one extra series before donning a baseball cap late in the second quarter for a well-deserved rest on a day the Giants gained 483 yards in total offense.
“We didn’t expect anything less out of him,” said defensive end Justin Tuck. “People were talking he might not play but we figured he was. It was good to see your starting quarterback be a tough guy like that and go out there and help his team win. That’s the leader he’s become.”

UGH…makes you wonder when we’re going to have that kind of leadership…possibly in the year 3000.

Backup halfback Ahmad Bradshaw also played a big role, rushing for 110 yards and scoring on runs of 1 and 9 yards.
Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell struggled again leading the league’s worst offense. He lost three fumbles and was 8 of 13 for 100 yards — not that he had any time. He was sacked six times as the Raiders (1-4) were limited to 124 yards of total offense.
MVP! MVP! MVP! (Most Valuable Pariah)

Their lone score — Michael Bush’s 5-yard touchdown run — came after the Giants’ Sinorice Moss fumbled on a punt return at his 15.
Ya’ll can thank the Force for that one…

“We thought it was an opportunity if we came out and got after him early, there would be a lot of chances,” defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka said of Russell. “He has flashes of greatness but we wanted to make sure he didn’t flash against us.”
The only thing Jam currently flashes is his platinum-ice earrings and necklaces. Lil Wayne and Jon should be envious.

Manning’s availability was the Giants’ biggest concern. He sustained a painful injury to his right heel in the win over Kansas City last weekend. The 2008 Super Bowl MVP missed two days of practice and then took half the snaps Friday, giving the indication he would go on Sunday.
Two hours before the game, Manning was on the field warming up, and he showed no ill effects of his injury.
“He wanted to play; he wanted to play all week,” coach Tom Coughlin said. “He has done a great job with the power of the will over these things a couple of times.”

Notes:

» The Giants outscored the Raiders, 31-7, in the first half and have outscored opponents 99-34 in the first half this season.

- Oakland became the first team since at least 1960 to have under 200 total yards of offense in four straight games.

-The Raiders fell to 5-27 in non-divisional road games since 2003.
Manning was 4 of 5 for 36 yards on the opening drive that Bradshaw capped by slamming in from a yard out on fourth down.
The next three Giants possessions were lightning fast. The second drive was three plays and 79 yards, featuring a 43-yard pass to Steve Smith and runs of 17 and 19 yards by Bradshaw.
The third score came on a five-play, 94-yard jaunt that featured a 55-yard screen pass to Bradshaw on third-and-24. Manning found Manningham in the right corner on the next play and the rout was on.
A sack by cornerback Terrell Thomas and a recovery by Tuck set up the three-play drive that Manning capped with his pass to Nicks.
“We couldn’t stop anything,” Raiders defensive end Richard Seymour said. “That’s a bad feeling when you are out there and they are running whatever plays they want to. The third or fourth quarter I think they had their backups in the game and they were still doing whatever they wanted to offensively. There is no excuse for that and everybody has to look themselves in the mirror and say, ‘I have to do a better job.”‘

I already looked, Richard. My image told me it’s going to be another loooooong season.
Keep your head up, Nation. Maybe the rain will stop sometime this century..
In the meantime? Buy a Newspaper and skip the damn sports section.

Have a nice week,
DR

It’s comical at this point. We’re living the same day over and over again every damn Sunday. Hell, I’m sure it’s not the first time I yelled “Groundhog day!”
At least the entire team can take some responsibility this week. Sure, the kid was off the mark at times, but you had to be a masked blind man if you couldn’t see all of our Receivers having a severe case of the dropsies. I guess that’s what happens when you start the youngins’ right? Is the entire team undisciplined? You’d think so after witnessing the same kind of penalties that have plagued us for years. “We kept ourselves in third-and-long situations,” Russell said. “We keep harping on that it’s a must that we stay in manageable downs.”
I’m not sure anyone even listens anymore, Jam.

The Dark Lord of the Sith is still wondering what kind of criticism Greg Ellis was offering when he approached the offensive bench 10 minutes before Halftime.
“Ya’ll better makes some plays before I sack your f$#%ing asses next series!!” Heh, one could only guess..
Help us Chaz Schliens, you’re are only hope.

The running game is still not a factor since the Defense sets up for it weekly. The other teams simply know our passing attack isn’t up to par. Why wouldn’t you want to prepare for the run?
I know people are still wondering why can’t D-mac , Bush and Justin run loose anymore..just look at how many Defenders are in the box next time.
“I do get a feeling, like during the preseason and stuff, we ran the ball a little bit, but it was more of a thing where we say, ‘Well, we know we can run it. Let’s work on the pass.’ And you can’t hang your hat on what you did before,” running back Justin Fargas said Monday. “It’s kind of like you have to still improve it. Like yesterday, teams stack the box against us. And if you’re not really detailed and if you don’t control the line of scrimmage — you’re not detailed in your assignments, you don’t control the line of scrimmage, you’re not going to be able to run the ball.”

I’m glad at least some people are seeing the same things I am.

The Defense was getting killed in the first half. Chris Johnson was getting used like David Letterman’s Interns. If it was me, I’d send Nnamdi to blanket Andre the entire game but.. oh well…

I’m not a Defensive Coordinator.. you’re not either.
You’re just a fan, just as I am, waiting for our Raiders to turn this whole damn thing around.
The only problem with waiting is all of our patience is wearing super thin after 6 looooooooong years.
What’s left to hope for? Basketball season??
Go Sharks, sir.

Summary:
For the first time this season, the Houston Texans weren’t left to answer questions about their horrible run defense and inability to stop big plays.
Instead, the defense got to celebrate its best performance since 2004 as the Texans beat the Oakland Raiders 29-6 on Sunday. The 165 yards Houston allowed was the second fewest in team history and the fewest since giving up 126 in a win over Jacksonville almost five years ago.
“Everybody was having fun,” defensive end Antonio Smith said. “When you’re having fun, you have confidence in what you do. You don’t second-guess. You don’t pull up when you can (go full speed) and that’s when you make big plays.”
Steve Slaton scored two touchdowns and Jacoby Jones returned a kickoff for a score to help out in the win.
The Texans (2-2) finally found their running game and figured out a way to shut down someone else’s as Houston’s NFL-worst run defense held the Raiders to 45 yards rushing. The Texans were allowing 205 yards rushing entering the game.
Houston also forced three turnovers and got its first safety in almost seven years.
The Texans got the win despite struggling with some illnesses. They had the NFL’s first confirmed case of swine flu earlier this week in tight end Anthony Hill. Houston had some other players get sick on Saturday night and Sunday morning, but did not confirm any other cases of swine flu.
Safety Eugene Wilson sat out with an illness and running back Chris Brown was available but not feeling well and didn’t play. Linebacker Xavier Adibi was also ill but played on special teams.
“Eugene got very sick last night, it continued through this morning, so there was no way he could play,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “We’re monitoring the situation. It’s something that’s hit us in the past four days and we just have to work through it.”
Offense lineman Eric Winston said Wilson was so sick he “could barely walk.”
When asked if the illnesses were more cases of swine flu, Kubiak said: “I don’t want to speculate on any of that … but it was kind of scary this morning, to be honest with you.”

So teams can now beat us even with the Swine Flu virus! Are you really that surprised?

The Raiders (1-3) continued to struggle, with JaMarcus Russell completing 12 of 33 passes for 128 yards and Darren McFadden finishing with six carries for minus-3 yards rushing.
“We could not run the football and that really disrupted our offense,” Raiders coach Tom Cable said. “We are really killing ourselves — we’re shooting ourselves in the foot all over the place.”
I would say both feet, arms, chests, head, etc., etc..
Slaton’s first score came on a 32-yard run in the second quarter that pushed Houston’s lead to 13-3. It was the Texans’ first rushing score this season. Slaton finished with 65 yards rushing and Ryan Moats added 56.
Slaton scored again on an 18-yard catch-and-run that made it 20-3 later in the second quarter. That score was set up by a career-long 44-yard reception by Owen Daniels.
Oakland’s first turnover came when DeMeco Ryans stripped the ball from Michael Bush and it was recovered by Antonio Smith in the third quarter. The Texans couldn’t capitalize.
But Andre’ Davis downed the punt at the 1 and rookie Brian Cushing tackled Justin Fargas in the end zone for a safety to make it 22-6. It was Houston’s first safety since the inaugural season of 2002.

Other notes:
The Raiders dropped to 10-40 on the road since 2003. I think Fans should now be able to play Offensive positions.

Oakland RB Darren McFadden was held to a career-low minus-3 rushing yards..eek.

Mario Williams got to Russell in the fourth quarter and forced a fumble that Houston recovered on the 20. The Texans came away empty when Kris Brown’s 33-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left.
Houston had a chance for another score near the end of the first half, but Matt Schaub was intercepted by Chris Johnson in the end zone. Schaub was 11 of 22 for 224 yards and a touchdown.
The Raiders added a field goal late in the second quarter to cut the lead to 20-6. That drive was kept alive when Russell found Louis Murphy for a 19-yard reception on fourth-and-9.
A 62-yard reception by Andre Johnson got Houston to the 7 in the first quarter and Brown’s 26-yard field goal made it 3-0. Oakland tied it with a 46-yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski after a fumble by Slaton in the first quarter.
Jano is also quietly having his best year. Does anyone even really care??!?!
Brown added a 34-yard field goal in the second quarter.
Johnnie Lee Higgins muffed a punt late in the fourth quarter that the Texans recovered and then ran out the clock.
Raiders T Cornell Green has a calf injury, S Tyvon Branch has a groin injury and TE Zach Miller is recovering from a concussion…
So am I.

The good news?? The undeafeted Giants are up next! I’m sure we can handle Eli Manning with the likes Jack Tatum, Bo Jackson, Jim Otto, George Atkinson, Howie Long, Greg Townsend, Willie Brown and…
Oops, sorry… I was thinking All time teams.

Keep your head up, Nation. At least we’re not the Rams.
