Rams WR Odell Beckham Jr. To Receive New Salary In Bitcoin

November 22nd, 2021

Posted in Main

As you know, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. signed a one-year deal with the Rams after a rocky tenure with the Browns, and today he announced on Twitter today that he will be taking his new salary entirely in Bitcoin.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Beckham’s deal is worth up to $4.25 million. Beckham will receive a $500K signing bonus, $750K salary and up to $3 million in team-based incentives.

OBJ isn’t the first athlete to hop on board the crypto train, and it’s actually a rather smart play, if you assume that BTC will continue rising in the coming years. Given how Bitcoin jumped from a low of $30K to a high of just over $60K in just the past 6 months or so, if Odell plays it right and HODLs for awhile, he could conceivably double his money if things go right. But crypto is super volatile, so it could just as easily go the other way.

My guess, CashApp (who he partnered with) probably gave him a hefty pay-day for this deal, so he won’t be hurting for money regardless.

Fans Are Up In Arms Over Disgusting $15 Pizza And Overpriced Parking At SoFi Stadium

August 15th, 2021

I’ve been eager to take in a game at the state-of-the-art Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles ever since it wrapped construction and opened last year. But after hearing all the complaints from fans, I think I’ll stay at home and watch it on my 65″ TV instead. So what exactly is the problem?

Lets be honest, food and drinks have always been massively overpriced at sporting events and concerts, and that just goes with the territory. But the newly opened SoFi Stadium in LA is taking things to a whole other level, charging Rams fans a whopping $15 for this sorry excuse for pizza:

But that’s not all. The parking situation is apparently wildly expensive, with people paying anywhere from $60-70 for a spot. And not only that, but the parking lot is extremely difficult to get in and out of, the spots are tiny, and it was taking people 45+ minutes to get to Pincay Drive out of lot. The team’s response? Use public transportation instead.

Joanna Hunter, the Rams’ vice president for corporate affairs, has been taking feedback from fans about these complaints and others, and promises to address the new stadium’s shortcomings. Only time will tell if she makes good on that.

Rams Looking to Get Off to Fast Start, Challenge the Best in the NFL in the 2021

The Rams have a new look for the 2021 season, as the team made a deal with the Detroit Lions switching quarterbacks.

The Lions sent QB Matt Stafford to Los Angeles for QB Jared Goff, who is expected to upgrade the QB spot in the Motor City.

The Rams won a playoff game before falling in the divisional round to the Packers in Lambeau in a game in which they hung in before the Pack were able to pull away.

Now here in 2021 the team will look to improve on their 10-6 mark, hoping they can make a push to the Super Bowl.

Look for the Rams to be overall better, and for the team to challenge the best in the NFC.

Here are the 3 matchups that I’m most looking forward to:

10/3 vs Arizona – Kyler Murray and the Cards are an up and coming squad, and the Rams can’t overestimate their play on the field in week four at SoFi Stadium. It will be interesting to see if the Rams have enough offense to overcome the Cardinals, and if they can hold Murray in check for the afternoon making it a long afternoon for Arizona.

11/10 vs Tennessee – The Titans have been on the cusp the last few seasons of being a part of the Super Bowl, losing in the AFC Title game to the Chiefs two years ago, and last year losing at home to the Ravens at home after a 10-0 lead. This will be a fun prime-time battle that should show who is a big-time team in the NFL in the middle of the season.

12/26 at Minnesota – The Vikings are a team you just don’t know what you are going to get when you take the field. One week they are world beaters, the next they just are not all that great. This time it’s just after Santa shows up, and the Rams are hoping they can get an early road lead and put the game away.

Raheem Morris Set to Be Named the New Rams DC

January 20th, 2021

Posted in News

After losing defensive coordinator Brandon Staley to the cross-town Los Angeles Chargers as their new head coach, the Rams are in the market for a new DC, and it appears they have found their man.

That man is former Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach and Atlanta Falcons interim head coach Raheem Morris.

Various sources say that Morris is on the cusp of coming to terms on a deal with the Rams, taking over the defense which Staley ran for one season.

The Rams are working towards hiring Raheem Morris as defensive coordinator, per sources. Morris cancelled a trip to Florida to interview for the Jags DC job that was slated for today.

(Morris & Sean McVay worked together in Tampa and Washington. NFLN linked Morris to Rams 1st.)

— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) January 19, 2021

In his time as Bucs head coach, Morris went 17-31, going 3-13, 10-6 and 4-12 from 2009 to 2011. The seven game turnaround from 3-13 to 10-6 was the best in franchise history for Tampa Bay, who barley missed the postseason.

Morris was the interim head coach in 2020 for the Falcons, leading the team to a mark of

The Falcons went on an initial hot streak under Morris, leading to some reporting that he had impressed team brass and could be a real candidate for the full-time job there, but the team ultimately fizzled down the stretch and then hired Arthur Smith instead.

Rams Silent On Who Starts at QB for the Wild Card Game Against Seahawks

January 6th, 2021

CJ

Posted in Injuries, News

The Rams still don’t know who their starting quarterback will be this weekend. The public might not know until moments before kickoff, Adam Maya of NFL.com reports.

Sean McVay told reporters Tuesday that Jared Goff?’s thumb is coming along well, but no decision has been made on whether he’ll play against the Seahawks. The L.A. coach then said he won’t be announcing his starter for Super Wild Card Weekend.

“I’m not going to answer that question this week,” he said.

Asked for his timetable to determine a starter, McVay wryly stated, “Saturday at 1:39.”

Goff and John Wolford will surely know before then. The latter is coming off a modest, but dramatic NFL debut, as he rebounded from an interception on his first throw to lead three field-goal drives while the defense did the rest in a playoff-clinching victory over the Cardinals. Wolford became the first player in league history with at least 200 passing yards and 50 rushing yards in his debut, per NFL Research.

But McVay reiterated that if Goff is healthy enough to go, he’s getting the nod.

“Jared is our starting quarterback,” he asserted.
