    @ Question Mark: Your takes are frequently solid, but you’re cynical to the very end. At least you’re trying to keep them honest, I guess.

    Most NFL contracts are front loaded with bonus payments. OBJ was one. That is why he was crying when he got hurt. It cost him plenty in bonus money. Being a super bowl mvp is worth millions. Yeah some Rams really care.

    Covina hiring a young 2018 High School graduate as HC. I guess they decided to go another route.

    I don’t think any of the Rams care who got MVP. They ALL got rings.

    @ Question Mark: Aaron Donald played well and got his hard-earned Super Bowl ring. Congratulations to him and all the other members of the Los Angeles Rams organization.

    Cooper Kupp MVP award losing some of its glitter. A lot of people are saying it should have gone to Aaron Donald. I agree.

    @ #2: Cooper Kupp capped off a career season with a great performance in the Super Bowl.

    @ #8: I think the Bengals will be drafting and/or trading for some offensive linemen.

    @ #10: “The Rock thing” was completely unnecessary.

    I don’t care so much about what the Rock did, or who was named MVP, as I do about fixing the pass interference problem. We had two big PI situations yesterday, both involving game-changing scores, and we have no clear rules or challenge procedures in place to deal with this in the future.
