Rams Have a Couple of Over Achievers

The Rams were at risk of not having MLB James Laurinaitis and RB Chris Ogbonnaya at their first official minicamp (second overall minicamp) because Ohio State and Texas will not have had their graduation yet.  However, because both Laurinaitis and Ogbonnaya graduated in December – they will be able to report to camp.

Are the Browns the Bottom Feeders of the NFL?

Peter King ranked the 32 NFL franchises for this upcoming season. Where did he put the Browns on his list? Dead last, as he picked the Cleveland Browns 32.

Rams Undergo Roster Surgery
