The Rams great says he lost the passion for the game
One of the best players in the history of football, Aaron Donald is still content with his decision to retire from the sport last year. In an interview with 93.7 The Fan, Donald expressed that he had lost his passion for football and that when that goes, there’s nothing that would compel him to play again. Donald says he doesn’t miss football at all.
“As far as playing football, I don’t miss it,” Donald said on the Panthers Insider Show on 93.7 The Fan. “I don’t even have...

3 underrated players who could make all the difference for the Rams in 2025
Five weeks into the 2024 season, the Los Angeles Rams did not look like a team to be taken seriously. They had bottomed out with a 1-4 start, neither Puka Nacua nor Cooper Kupp was healthy, which affected Matthew Stafford’s ability to be Matthew Stafford, and a defense that had the league talking about its potential before the season started wasn’t realizing it.
We all know what happened after the Week 6 bye. Sean McVay’s team went 9-3 down the stretch in the regular season, won...

Rams edge rusher Jared Verse dominated as a rookie, but can he take the next step?
The Los Angeles Rams lucked into one of the best defenders of the 2024 NFL Draft last season when they selected edge rusher Jared Verse with the 19th overall pick. It was a mild surprise that the Rams were able to select Verse at 19 given his talent. However, with the focus on offensive players at the top of the first round, Verse fell right into the Rams’ lap.
Verse had a fantastic season for a rookie edge rusher and entered the conversation as...

These Cardinals seem a lot better than “those” Cardinals
The Los Angeles Rams have dominated the Cardinals since the arrival of Sean McVay in 2017, but many have expressed a belief that 2025 is going to be Arizona’s best campaign in a long time. Should the Rams be prepared for a tougher fight against the Cardinals next season, both head-to-head and in the race to win the NFC West?
ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss predicted a 5-1 start to the season for Arizona.
Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton predicted a 10-7 final record, one game behind the Rams in his 2025 standings prediction....

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 5/19/25
Newly drafted tight end Terrance Ferguson may rise the Los Angeles Rams depth chart quickly, but for now I am still going to suspect that Tyler Higbee will be the top tight end in L.A. Higbee has been solid in Sean McVay’s scheme and he’s played well with Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford.
Will be Ferguson really be able to replace Higbee right away? You never know, but I don’t see it, not yet anyways.
It’s Monday, please comment on whatever you want and thanks for checking out Turf Show Times!

Matthew Stafford has the 14th best odds at an MVP
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Matthew Stafford has the 14th best odds to win the NFL MVP award (+4000) which puts him tied with Dak Prescott and Trevor Lawerence but behind quarterbacks such as former Ram Baker Mayfield (+3400), Caleb Williams (+3100), Jordan Love (+3100), and Brock Purdy (+2500). Stafford is constantly touted as one of the elite talents in the league by fellow players and coaches but somehow continues to get disrespected in MVP odds.
Stafford has put up the MVP-level stats in the...

With the schedule release in the rearview mirror, it’s time to drop those bold NFL takes!
Legions of Los Angeles Rams fans have made predictions since the NFL released the schedule for the upcoming season on Wednesday. Fans already have high expectations regarding the forthcoming campaign, but what about any bold predictions they may have?
When I asked this question last May, I made a few bold predictions, most notably that a non-quarterback would win MVP. That nearly happened after Saquon Barkley popped off during his first season in Philly, en route to a Super Bowl title.
Another prediction that...

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 5/17/25
Hello, happy Saturday and thanks for checking out Turf Show Times! I didn’t see too much fresh news so to speak, but it is thrilling and somewhat intimidating how high expectations for the Los Angeles Rams are. It seems like they are expected to be a top team in the NFC AND the NFL as a whole.
Should we believe the hype?
Should we not believe the hype?
Can L.A. live up to the hype?
With great expectations, comes great responsibility.
So many questions, none of which can be truly answered now...

ESPN’s Mina Kimes explains why the Rams have a top front office in the NFL
One of the hardest things to do in the NFL and professional sports in general is understanding the championship window and when it’s time to move on. It may be easier to move on if you’ve already won. That was exactly the case for the Los Angeles Rams when they hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in 2021. For other teams, it’s very difficult to find that balance in holding out for another championship and forcing that window to stay open and eventually ripping off the band-aid...

Which Rams rookies could contribute early in their careers?
There is always a lot of excitement when it comes to new rookies joining their teams and that is no exception with the Los Angeles Rams. While they only made six selections, there is already a lot of hype around tight end Terrance Ferguson and linebacker Chris Paul Jr. With that said, it’s also important to temper expectations with a new rookie class. That’s especially the case with this particular Rams class as it seems to have been approached with more of a future mindset than the now. There may not...
