Random Ramsdom: Cooper Kupp ‘didn’t die’ when he left L.A.

Cooper Kupp was very matter of fact when talking about taking on the Los Angeles Rams this week stating, “I didn’t die” as he responded to the idea of the team posting a tribute video for him. No, Kupp hasn’t died, but that doesn’t mean that many in L.A. aren’t forever grateful to one of the best players the Rams have ever had.

Even as it became clearer and clearer that the Los Angeles Rams would move on from Kupp, it was still a tough reality for some fans to swallow. Of course, seeing Davantae Adams step in and excel has made the move easier to take, but that doesn’t mean fans won’t always love Kupp.

So, maybe no revenge game this Sunday, but then again, would Kupp admit it if it was? I am not sure Kupp needs added motivation considering he may be one of the most motivated players the NFL has, and he showed that by missing Sean McVay’s first Super Bowl due to injury, then training himself to one day become the Super Bowl MVP that McVay needed to get his ring. It’s quite a story.

Thank you to all the commenters, it’s been a fun season so far with plenty of games to go. Please comment on whatever you want, thank you for checking out Turf Show Times, and it’s almost Friday! Almost.

Here’s how dramatically Sunday’s Rams-Seahawks game will swing the NFC West race (ramswire)

“There isn’t a more consequential game in the NFL this week than Sunday’s matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks. It’s a battle between two division rivals who are each sitting atop the NFC West with 7-2 records. Both teams rank in the top five in scoring offense and defense, showing just how complete these squads are.

Technically, the Seahawks are in first place thanks to their 2-1 record in the division (the Rams are 1-1), but the winner of this game will take over sole possession of the NFC West lead. And though there will still be seven games remaining after Sunday’s tilt, it will give the winning team a big advantage over the other in the divisional race.“
