Shame on me, I’ll try to be more careful, but either way, L.A. Rams will be taking their talents “down under” in 2026, and that’s pretty wild. If nothing else, it’s new.
Happy Friday. We made it. Please comment on whatever you want and have a great Friday and beyond!
I’m told there is a big game happening on Sunday.

“Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams have enough to sort through on their roster, and any measures that simplify the processes needed to improve the group are surely welcomed. To that end, the latest message from Sebastian Joseph-Day is encouraging.
LA is in good shape financially and in terms of draft assets.
There is still a lot of legwork to do in fine-tuning a list of potential targets, though, and Joseph-Day is someone the Rams already know well.“
