  • Super Wild Card Weekend Kicks Off Saturday
    FOR USE AS DESIRED 1/5/21 SUPER WILD CARD WEEKEND KICKS OFF SATURDAY The NFL’s playoff table is ready. Get ready for a six-course meal. The addition of a third Wild Card team in each conference this season and the subsequent expansion of the playoffs has resulted in a Super Wild Card Weekend of NFL action. For the first time ever, there will be three games on Saturday, January 9, and three games on Sunday, January 10, to be played at 1:05 p.m., 4:40 p.m., and 8:15 p.m. ET on each day. The postseason kicks off Saturday on the heels of the highest-scoring regular season in NFL history, packed with more points (12,692) and touchdowns (1,473) than any of the league’s previous 100 years. All told, 179 of 256 games – 70 percent – were within one score (eight points) in the fourth quarter, more games than all but one season in league annals (184 in 2016). And no lead was safe, as winning teams combined to erase deficits of 10-or-more points in 43 games, tying a single-season league record. Steady, dangerous teams led by consistent veterans, young and on-the-rise clubs guided by sensational newcomers, they all have seats at the table.

  • Opportunity on the Road to Success by Logan Underwood
    Opportunity on the Road to Success By Logan Underwood In the sea of society, many drift under the influence of powerful undercurrents of reality. People are shaped by the colour of our skin, the places we grew up, and the wealth of our parents. These factors have a profound impact on the direction in which people travel in their lives. The currents that control our lives are powerful because they pull the strings that define our paths. They change the scenery and the obstacles by putting some individuals on a pedestal while putting others on a much more challenging journey. Societal norms of nepotism and connections disproportionally place minorities at a disadvantage from their white colleagues as they are promoted. In 2003 the National Football League (NFL) instituted the Rooney Rule, which required one minority to be interviewed during the head coach hiring process (Carroll, 2018). The rule was put in action to make the number of minority coaches more representative of a sport that's players were 69.0% African American (Lapchick, 2019). As the most recent season coaching hiring season concluded, it became clear that the number of minority coaches with jobs would decrease significantly. Figure 1 (Payne, 2019) In the 2020 season, it will be the second season that 12.5% of coaches will be of colour. It is the lowest two-season stretch since the Rooney Rule was adopted in two thousand three (Lapchick, 2019). The 2019 season was important in determining the schematic direction of the league's coaches. Coaches Marvin Lewis, Todd Bowles, Steven Wilks, and Vance Joseph, who were all African American, were fired.

  • Rams Head Coach Sean Mcvay – Rams-Bears Postgame Quotes – November 17, 2019
    Rams Head Coach Sean McVay – Rams-Bears Postgame Quotes – November 17, 2019 (Opening Remarks) “First and foremost, with (WR) Robert Woods not being there tonight – it was a personal matter. That’s all we are going to say about that. We love him, respect him, we are with him and his family all the way and that’s really where we will leave that at. As far as the game tonight, really pleased with our team. To be able to find a way to win as a team, that was the goal, that always is the goal. It was a little bit different than typically what we are accustomed to seeing, but a win is a win, we will take that. I love this group, love the way that they continue to battle. I thought our coaching staff did a great job. Hats off to the Bears. They are a tough, physical football team. We were pleased to come away with a win tonight.” (On what point did he know Woods wasn’t going to play today) “A couple hours before the game.” (On if he made a conscientious effort to put the ball in RB Todd Gurley II hands) “That was part of the gameplan tonight and I thought he did a great job. What I loved the most about what (RB) Todd (Gurley II) did, is after we put the first carry on the ground, he didn’t flinch, he came back and had some good, tough, physical runs and made some good catches out of the backfield and he was a big- time contributor tonight.

  • Rams' Team Travel
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn LOS AnGELES RAMS Team History One of the National Football League’s oldest franchises, the Rams began their football life in Cleveland in 1937. They did no better than a .500 mark once during their first six seasons. They then disbanded for a year in 1943 because of the manpower shortages of the World War II era. When they finally did record a winning season, they hit the jackpot with a 15-14 victory over the Washington Redskins in the NFL championship game. A sensational rookie quarterback from UCLA, Bob Waterfield, was the league’s Player of the Year. That championship game proved to be the last the Rams would ever play in Cleveland. Dan Reeves, a shrewd businessman and a master innovator who had bought the team in 1941, decided to move the Rams to Los Angeles for the 1946 season. He then signed Kenny Washington and Woody Strode to make them the first two African-American athletes with an NFL contract since 1932. Reeves also instituted the famed “Free Football for Kids” program, providing the groundwork for today’s successful TV policies, and became the first to employ a full-time scouting staff. In their first four seasons on the West Coast, the Rams had to wage a costly head-to-head battle with the intra-city Dons of the All-America Football Conference. Reeves and the Rams suffered mammoth financial losses. But the AAFC folded after the 1949 season just as the Rams were embarking on a string of outstanding seasons on the field.

Each game will be a nod to a momentous game played, a fierce rivalry that spans decades, a matchup of original teams and/or a game in which history was made. The NFL has designated the Packers-Bears contest as the NFL100 GAME OF THE WEEK for Week 1. In arguably the league’s richest all-time rivalry, the Packers and Bears will meet for the 199th time, including the postseason, in a series that spans all 10 NFL decades.

Combined, the two organizations have accounted for 22 world championships,13 for Green Bay, nine for Chicago (No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, all-time). The two teams have also combined to put 53 individuals in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, 28 from the Bears (No. 1 all-time) and 25 from the Packers (No. 2 all-time), with respect to those who spent the majority of their careers with a club.

It’s a familiar script, a story that has fueled the league’s popularity for 99 years.

  • The Double Agent: Meet the Power Broker Behind Jon Gruden's $100M
    The double agent: Meet the power broker behind Jon Gruden’s $100M deal with Raiders Jon Gruden is coming to Oakland on a reported $100-million deal thanks partly to his agent who got his start in the Bay Area. (Brian Blanco/Bradenton Herald/TNS) By Karl Buscheck on January 5, 2018 3:09 pm Around 4:30 p.m. last Sunday afternoon, when the Oakland Raiders were putting the finishing touches on their embarrassing 30-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and owner Mark Davis was informing Jack Del Rio that he was no longer the head coach, Bob LaMonte’s phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. Week 17 is about as busy as it gets for the most- powerful agent for football coaches. On the eve of Black Monday, the phone calls don’t stop. “Somewhere in the neighborhood of probably about — on a bad night — 150 to 175,” LaMonte estimated. Largely hidden from public sight, LaMonte is at the center of the Raiders’ latest saga in which Del Rio is out and Jon Gruden is in — at a reported price tag of $100 million over 10 years. LaMonte represents both. It’s an arrangement, which, on the surface, appears awkward at best and problematic at worst. To draw such a conclusion is to misunderstand how the ecosystem operates and how wide LaMonte’s empire extends. Beginning with a lone client, LaMonte has built Professional Sports Representation, Inc. into the premier agency for coaches and executives in the world of football. At one point, LaMonte repped a quarter of the coaches in the league Currently, his sprawling roster of clients includes current, prospective and recently dismissed coaches like Del Rio, Gruden, John Fox, Jay Gruden, Ben McAdoo, Sean McDermott, Sean McVay, Doug Pederson and Andy Reid.

  • Rams Head Coach Sean Mcvay – Media Availability – Dec
    Rams Head Coach Sean McVay – Media Availability – Dec. 5, 2019 (On updates regarding TE Gerald Everett and T Rob Havenstein) “They’re (TE Gerald Everett and T Rob Havenstein) in the same kind of status as they were. Still day-to- day and we’ll see how they’re feeling later on this week. Making good progress – whether that means they’re able to go or not, we haven’t determined that yet.” (On if there would be hesitation to put Havenstein in the game with how T Bobby Evans has played in his absence) “(T) Bobby (Evans) has done a really nice job and Rob’s put a lot of good tape on. He’s put a lot of really good film on display for the last couple years. When he’s ready to go, we’ll evaluate that deal. He’s done a great job mentoring Bobby in the meantime. I think that says a lot about just the type of guy he is and we know what a productive player he’s been for us.” (On if coaching changes from one segment of the season to the next) “I would say it’s an ongoing evolution of staying up to date with the constant changes that go on both with your team or with the opponent. Kind of just staying up to date with what goes on. Nothing really changes – I think the changes occur every single day. To be able to seamlessly handle those and have a consistency, process and rhythm that you want to be committed to while also not being so set in it that you can adjust and adapt.
