The TEN: 1/13/2017

THE TEN (NEW)(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)

1.) The Los Angeles Rams make Sean McVay, 30, youngest head coach in NFL history and 23rd in franchise history.

2.) On this day in 1982 Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson were elected into the MLB Hall of Fame.

3.) Wade Phillips, joins his tenth NFL franchise, agrees to be the Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator.

4.) On this day in 1986, the NCAA adopted “Proposal 48” setting the standards for Division 1 freshman eligibility.

5.) “RAMS need a great HC or they will loose fans on the fence to the chargers, they have to have a better winning record next year.”—MVS commenter “Superman”

6.) San Diego Chargers will pay the $12M-buyout at Qualcomm Stadium and move to Los Angeles.

7.) On this day in 1974 the Miami Dolphins beat the Minnesota 24-7 in Super Bowl VIII in Houston. Larry Csonka is named MVP.

8.) “(Dean) Spanos demanded 200M more on top of original 350M offered”—Ron Roberts, San Diego County Supervisor.

9.) “Dean Spanos, a coward, refused to face the San Diego media, after stonewalling everyone in town, taking the fans money, treating them with disdain.…Dean Spanos was born with a silver spoon. Had he not been given the franchise to run by his father, he’d be on a street corner with a tin cup.”—Lee “Hacksaw” Hamilton

10.) “That’s the biggest gap in sports, the difference between the winner and the loser of the Super Bowl.”—John Madden

    Look, LA Sports Fans will get behind any professional team that wins. They got behind the Ducks, Kings, Clippers and even The Galaxy , and soccer is barely a sport; much like WWE. ( if you get taken off the field in a stretcher you are out for a long time, not back in playing in 3 minutes. The problem is that there are way to many things to do in So Cal. Southern Californians don’t want to waist their time and money with losers. Except for the Dodgers. But maybe they will price themselves out of existence too. I can only hope!

    Rams and Chargers won’t gain traction because they suck.

    Jon Gruden was seriously considered to be Buddy Ryan’s replacement in Philadelphia when he was 27/28. They went with Rich Kotite instead.

    Wasn’t there a 27 year HC in the league before? Check it
    From T. Peterson: According to the LA Times McVay is the youngest in the modern era. There may have been a guy younger back in the day of the jump pass and leather helmets.

    Rams pick reminds me of over reaches like when Wie tried to play on the men’s PGA or 10 year old boy’s are offered by D1 universities, or when Jesse Owens ran against a horse. Interesting but why? To make a buck or in this case save a buck? Stoopid!!

    I doubt Los Angeles can get behind the Chargers, because Spanos is a guy in a high place who wouldn’t get the support of Meryl Streep.
