Should we not believe the hype?

Can L.A. live up to the hype?

With great expectations, comes great responsibility.

So many questions, none of which can be truly answered now but we can guess! Please comment on whatever you want, thank you all our readers, viewers, commenters and just thank you all. If you are reading this, you make this possible. Team effort. Appreciate you.

“The Los Angeles Rams have assembled one of the best rosters in the National Football League to go along with one of the best head coaches in the league, Sean McVay. Those are reason enough to be optimistic about the Rams’ chances of a successful upcoming regular season.

The Rams entered the offseason determined to improve their roster, especially on offense and they did precisely that. Los Angeles must now prepare for their offseason changes to impact their play on the field after falling just short against the Philadelphia Eagles in the playoffs this past postseason.”

Watch: Matthew Stafford hits Puka Nacua with beautiful deep ball during spring workouts (ramswire)

“Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua developed immediate chemistry during their first season together in 2023 and it all started in spring workouts. They continued to connect often in 2024 when Nacua was healthy and they’ve picked up right where they left off this offseason.

The Rams shared a clip of Stafford throwing a beautiful rainbow pass deep down the field to Nacua. It looked like a perfect pass and an even better over-the-shoulder catch by Nacua, making it look easy.”

“Woodland Hills isn’t far from Hollywood, so the Rams must’ve found a talented writer to script their schedule release. They also casted A-list talent to deliver it, landing Rams fan Brenda Song – although not in a role she anticipated.

Portraying an anchor in something that resembled Dennis Miller’s Weekend Update on classic Saturday Night Live, Song roasted most of the team’s 2025 opponents. Here are her top one-liners and highlights from the 2025 schedule release.”
