    Does anyone remember what happened when sports-talk host Jim Rome called him “Chris” at the beginning of an interview?

    The Ram’s savior Jared Goff is reminding me a lot of an ex Ram QB bust. Jim(Chrissy) Everett. Much like Everett, Goff is seeing shadows and ghosts. He is ducking before he has to, throwing the ball away before he has to,afraid to run, and yesterday even handed the ball off to the defense. This guy has the happy feet. It is an incurable illness for a QB. While guys like Rothilsburger throw with 4 guys draped around him and he’s old to boot he loves the contact. Goffs eyes are wide as saucers as he stares at would be blitzers. He can throw but only when they are rushing 3 guys.He’s scared. He’s toast.

    Congratulations to Donteylor and the entire girls basketball team at El Rancho. Under the leadership of coach Randy Shigezane, this has been a very successful program for the better part of a decade. Best of luck in the regular season and playoffs.
