@StevePalazzolo_ This is a bad and disrespectful opinion. Sometimes I think you’re better than this, but this makes me think otherwise

Fine, Stafford plays for a rival. And fine, you make it a little personal

This is just unprofessional

[rather828 @rather828]

@DonAtkinsonNFL This has been knocked down a few pegs because extremely predictably many Rams have hit injury lists and IR now

I don’t like the 49ers but I do respect them and Shanny is doing a great job so far. Silently cries

[rather828 @rather828]

@DonAtkinsonNFL Yep. “Field vs Rams” is free money

[rather828 @rather828]

@DonAtkinsonNFL @TheBlackWallaby Okay, well, this is stupid.. the most likely outcome is a “mutual parting of ways,” à la Tomlin, except this time it would really be that instead of being fired

I know this rivalry is very personal for you it seems, and fun to talk smack right now, but this is incorrect

[rather828 @rather828]

@DonAtkinsonNFL Yeah, maybe in hindsight it isn’t exactly wise to crap all over the area where the NFL gave you international marketing rights

The Rams have plenty of their own problems without PO’ing the NFL political pecking order

[rather828 @rather828]

@ProFootballTalk Mike I’m giving you a 60-day Open Season Shat on the Rams window. Feel free to shat all over them (fair or unfair, though I’m sure you don’t know the difference)

Please enjoy this window at my pleasure but do remember your therapy

[rather828 @rather828]

@DonAtkinsonNFL @DmSoCal I resent that, we are at least 75% media hype

[rather828 @rather828]

@DonAtkinsonNFL Nix is white Russell Wilson..

Try to run a real offense for a half and fail, then turn to improv sandlot and fish for DPI plays

Last night they tried to run a real offense for 4+ quarters and found out

[rather828 @rather828]

@TylerCLaRocca Well, at face value, that's respectable but Rams fans have seen this act now for literally, let's say 7 years now. It plays well with casuals (see above), and I do think it's genuine, but it matters little when mistakes keep getting repeated .. yeah, McVay mad, whatever

[rather828 @rather828]

@ProFootballTalk Counterpoint: There is nothing interesting about the Rams until McVay decides to either re-commit to high performance and accountability, or bolts to a booth somewhere

Please Sean for the love of everything, decide one or the other. We do not want our own John Harbaugh era

[rather828 @rather828]

@ag__fox__1971 I think you’re in the ballpark, but it’s really “try to run a real offense and fail, then run total improv sandlot plays and fish for DPI.”

It was incredibly predictable Wilson would look terrible trying to operate outside that bubble post-Seattle

Bo Nix is doing this today

[rather828 @rather828]

@StonKold @DonAtkinsonNFL He’s pretty much your garden variety 49ers fan, which means he says a lot of dumb things

The only difference here is that he seems to wear a tie and is pretty articulate (speaks fluent English too - not always a given with them!)

[rather828 @rather828]

@LombardiHimself One of my faves was always Cris Carter saying to some young dude who called him "old man":

"Pray. Pray you play in this league as long as I do"

[rather828 @rather828]

@DonAtkinsonNFL Now, you might ask, why not really say it with your chest? You're 5-0, be loud and proud! "Productive five weeks of work," that's pretty limp wristed stuff

.. until you remember how the 49ers finish seasons like this

[rather828 @rather828]

@rykane @ProFootballTalk Ryan Kane everyone, epitomizing the problematic nature of accountability and competency in the NFL. Hey, everyone else does this really stupid thing! I don't see the problem!

[rather828 @rather828]

@ProFootballTalk I must be entering my Old Man Florio era because the quality of the NFL is so terrible right now. Teams treating first 6 weeks like extended preseason, poor referreeing (and all the toxic outcomes of it), and more than a little suspicion that we're ..
wait for it ..
RIGGED!

[rather828 @rather828]

@DonAtkinsonNFL I wanted the Seahawks to win because the 49ers are clearly better. Having said that, it's obviously very delicious to watch these children whine about who the refs help (hint: they help both of you)

[rather828 @rather828]

@ProFootballTalk Now you might ask, how does a top NFL journo like Florio not know this book existed nor exhibited the intellectual curiosity to look into it before 2026?

Well, first, Florio is a biased hack, but more importantly, he’s given up on the Vikings and hate-watches the NFL now

[rather828 @rather828]

@1standtuna @ProFootballTalk Florio looked at that line and decided he wasn’t about that life, which is a little ironic because all he does is hate-watch the NFL now
