Having two members of the same family become professional athletes is pretty rare, but to have them both play for the same team at the same time is perhaps even more extraordinary. For Cooper Kupp and younger brother Ketner, however, that’s precisely what happened, and according to Cooper, life is extremely good right now. Speaking […]

The most important position for any team in the NFL is the quarterback position. As it stands now, we have some of the best play from under center than we’ve ever seen. Troll accounts on Twitter would probably dispute that, but the numbers don’t lie. Teams are incapable of winning with sub-par play from their […]

The Los Angeles Rams took yet another step forward in 2018 under Sean McVay. After making the playoffs in 2017, the Rams found themselves in the Super Bowl last season.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is one of the brightest coaches in the NFL, but even the league’s best coaches need some assistance.

Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Aaron Neary has been suspended for the first four games of the 2019 season for violating the NFL’s policy on substances of abuse, the league announced on Friday. Neary’s suspension likely stems from him being arrested in February on suspicion of driving under the influence. According to USA Today, local […]

Aaron Donald has taken the league by storm, and his nearly unprecedented success certainly didn’t catch former Rams teammate Chris Long by surprise.

For a quarterback who just threw for 4,688 yards and 32 touchdowns while leading his team to the Super Bowl, Jared Goff certainly catches a lot of flak, as some questioned this offseason whether or not he is the Los Angeles Rams’ quarterback of the future. Still, even though people may be a bit hard […]

The Los Angeles Rams had a fantastic 2018 campaign in Sean McVay’s second season as head coach. Notably, this offseason, the Rams added veterans like Clay Matthews and Eric Weddle to their roster.
