The take away from this is, is be careful about who you schedule.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN\u2019s Britt McHenry, wow, she\u2019s got a sparkling personality.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been out of the loop did Mayfair hire a replacement for Mike Fitch?<\/p>\n<p>Another week, another lawsuit for Jameis Winston. With that said I believe he is the better choice for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like Marcus Mariota but I wouldn\u2019t draft him inside the top ten. As a Los Angeles Rams fan, I don\u2019t want them taking him in 2015 and bringing him home in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>If San Diego wants to deal Philip Rivers to Tennessee to move and take Mariota I wish them well. Rivers is too good of a quarterback to be wasted in San Diego, and it would be another disastrous move for the Chargers.<\/p>\n<p>Who should the Rams take? Iowa offensive lineman Brandon Scherff or cornerback Michigan State cornerback Trae Waynes. My belief is you can never have enough linemen and you can always use a front line CB.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, I cannot believe the response we got in recent poll asking you to vote for your favorite quarterbacks drafted by the Rams. The Vince Ferragamo, Pat Haden, Ron Jaworski battle was fun to watch&#8230;But is everyone aware that Doug Flutie, although drafted by the Rams, was never actually in camp with the Rams? Never worked out for the Rams? Never wore the uniform?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Regards:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>In\u00a0regards to<\/strong> Star Wars: It was just a trailer they showed right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>In regards to<\/strong> Pioneer\u2019s Phillip Hernandez: Yeah, that dude\u2019s alright.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In regards to<\/strong> Marcos Lopez: Very happy to hear he will be staying at South El Monte.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In regards to<\/strong> NFL Network \u201cClassic Game\u201d replay of Super Bowl 14 (I find Roman numerals distracting): Watching it again this week was like having old scars cut back open&#8230;This game lingers and pains much more than the Super Bowl 34 heist by the Patriots.
