I don’t know how many friends I am going to make with this post, but the Troy Reeder hate seems a little much, no? I get that people wanted Chris Paul Jr. to make the team, I get that Reeder isn’t (likely) a future Hall of Famer, but he is a NFL player, and the amount of people on the internet hating on this man is bonkers.
I admit, it’s insane being a fan of a sports team, and part of the fun is delving into that insanity, but hating on Reeder, a man that wants what is best for your favorite team (if you are a Rams fan), I don’t get it.
Add in that the hate is coming from people who have never played a down in the NFL and again I am taken aback by all the strong reactions to Reeder making the squad.
Will those same haters also apologize if Reeder goes on to have a great season? Will they apologize if he makes a play that saves a game for L.A.? Will they apologize if the Rams are proven right for keeping Reeder?
I’ll level with you, I have bad takes, I say crazy things, I am human, but it’s one thing to have a beer with a buddy and say something negative about a player, it’s another to go on the internet and just trash a man for doing what he loves.
Are some of the negative comments humorous? Of course! Are some of the comments just too negative and irredeemable? I think so.
But hey, what do I know? I am the same man that wants Bob Melvin fired from the San Francisco Giants, and that’s pretty insane considering I have no idea what it takes to manage any baseball team, let alone a MLB team.
So, I, like Taylor Swift, am the problem.
Look, you might be right, Reeder isn’t the best choice, but let’s show some respect, no? I guess it’s the internet, who am I kidding? Let the hate flow through you.
Anyways, best of luck to Reeder, and best of luck to you, dear reader! See what I did there?

Where Former Rams Ended Up Before 2025 Season (si.com)
“Kendrick was a player I initially projected would make the 53-man roster entering preseason. The emergence of others forced the Rams to say goodbye to the defensive back. Kendrick, an opportunist, now enters a defense that is not only allowed but encouraged to gamble on potential turnover throws.
The Rams kept nine defensive backs on their initial 53-man roster.“

“On Wednesday, the team assembled its practice squad. The NFL allows each team to carry up to 16 players on its practice squad, or up to 17 if there is an eligible international player on it.
Most of the time, teams bring back players they recently cut by signing them to the practice squad, allowing them to continue developing and potentially even contribute during the season. The Rams’ initial practice squad, which consists of 15 players, is full of players they waived on Tuesday. They have not yet signed an outside player to their practice squad.“
