Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 5/20/25

The Olympic Games and flag football is still years off, but it’s a semi-new announcement that flag football can feature NFL players for the iconic games, and so there’s been plenty of questions and plenty to talk and speculate about. It’s fun.

One of the recent fun interactions was Los Angeles Rams’ quarterback Matthew Stafford being asked if he’d consider playing in the games and you can check out his response below, it’s comical, it’s cute and I think it’s honest.

Sean McVay spoke about the possibility of his players joining the games as well, and I thought his answer was brilliant. He basically said players can do what they want, and he’s right. They have a right to play if they are chosen/earn that right to play. McVay being open minded about it seems like the right strategy to me.

It’s Friday, comment on whatever you want, or don’t, but I hope you do! Thanks for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great, but safe, Friday!

And we have some new fanposts I’ll post below! Love to see it.

And if that’s something that players say they want to be able to do, then I think it’s a really cool experience for them to be able to be a part of while also acknowledging that man, there are some other guys that have been doing it. I’m not going to pretend to understand the nuances tactically and what that game entails, but I think it’s good. I think it’s great.”

“In the meantime, Ramsey took to social media to clear the air.

The seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro selection called out “false narratives,” saying they are either “lame or funny,” and to “wish well & blessings” to those who doubt in a post on X on May 28.

“He said in a separate post that he was “grateful” for every part of his journey so far and praised God.

“For the record btw, i’ve loved every city i’ve played in & the fans who supported! the anger is very misplaced at times but sometimes valid too [laughing emoji],” Ramsey posted on X on May 28. “But real ones kno the intentions always solid! …...
