They had their pick of the two impressive young Rams assistants and chose McCarthy.

Canes would have been out this year under those rules and ND and Duke in.

Lebron could have waived his player option and taken less money but he didn't so all they could do was grab Ayton off the trash heap.

In the 1970s there were franchise swaps in the NFL and NBA.
Carroll Rosenbloom owned the Colts but was tired of Baltimore and wanted to move. His first choice was Tampa but Rozelle was against it so he had his eye on Los Angeles.
When the Rams became available for purchase, Rosenbloom jumped at the opportunity but the tax implications for selling the Colts were a problem so in 1972 Robert Irsay bought the Rams and they traded franchises.
Same type of thing in the NBA. The Celtics owner Irv Levin wanted to move them to SoCal but the league wasn't having it so in 1978 the Celtics and Buffalo Braves swapped franchises and he got his team in San Diego. Levin later claimed that the Clippers could have kept the draft rights to Larry Bird if he'd pushed for it.
In some technical sense the Colts are the Rams, St Louis once had the Colts and the Clippers have won 13 titles.

It's not like we're the only country with significant debt. China's total debt is probably 2x-3x ours as a % of GDP.

Semifinals on or around New Year's Day would be fine and 12 teams seems right as long as it's the best 12 teams.

I agree.
I thought it was awful. I don't understand PTA's obsession with Pynchon because he obviously doesn't get him. It's like if Tarantino started making movies based on DH Lawrence books or something.
OBAA bulldozed a lot of the nuance of the book, which is more about how the next generation can't truly understand that of their parents and how society moves on even if individuals can't.
The one thing that stood out to me about the movie is that this is supposed to be a leftist put down of fascism yet it uses immigration raids as props. There aren't any illegal immigrant characters. We don't get to know them, it's just kept in the background. That seems exploitative to me considering the intent.
Plus the Christmas cult was so painfully heavy handed, Pynchon would have never written anything like that. And for some reason the end of the movie turned into a Breaking Bad episode.

I don't care whether he gets fired or not, it could be justified, but the roster was not that good this year.
42 year old QB with a mediocre receiving group, the O-line can't run block and an undrafted cast-off at LT.
Add that to a down year from TJ and a defense that wasn't as good as its price and Tomlin probably didn't do a bad job this year.

Why would he quit when he has a $10 million buyout if he's this year and $6 million during 2027?
He knows he can't get another job making that much.

If the center rolls a snap back to CJ, he's got money on the game.

There were some good plays but that wasn't the best played or coached game on either side. The Rams dropped passes, gave up a punt block on horrible protection and McVay totally fricked around on that last possession in Panthers territory before the half.

Carolina overloads one side then block the punt from the side the Rams had numbers.

It's not like the Rams much of a fanbase but giving an 8-9 team a home playoff game because they won a shitty division is stupid.

70% of Indiana's starting lineup is made up of players who have been playing college football for the past 5-6 years. As a roster their average age is 23.2.
Their offense, sure, but their defense is younger and the roster overall has too many freshman to come close to averaging to that age.
