And Jim Harbaugh to LA has already started up. Don't do it Jim! Stay in Ann Arbor!

I think Jim stays at Michigan.
One of the big "secrets" about the big jobs in college is that... rather than WORK GRIND WORK GRIND and still get fired after a couple years in the NFL, you can make a couple million and still play golf. You can have real fun. You can joke around and play with the kids.
Plus, I think the Rams would have to throw a shitpile of cash at Jim due to cost of living and tax differences between michigan and california. I actually don't think they could afford him.

I don't think Harbaugh leaves Ann Arbor without having won a title. He's completely turned the program around, so why leave before the job is done?

Interesting... Anything to get the moron who fired Harbaugh out of power. That would be the best Christmas present ever.

Why would Harbuagh also take this job that would be such a freaking headache to turn around. Your walking in with a bunch of traded away draft picks and a GM who hasn't sign a successful Offensive talent. The Rams is a huge mess to walk into.

When your best player this season has been your punter, it's a pretty good sign that your team is in rough shape.

Big thanks to the NFL for sending the Rams, Jags and Browns to London next year Oh well, looks like I'll just have to have another trip to the US to see some games next year.

At some point London is going ask if the NFL games they're getting are in violation of any treaties.

At some point London is going ask if the NFL games they're getting are in violation of any treaties. Stupid question, what would our good friends in London rather have: Four probably lopsided games or two "awesome" games and 2 total jobber games? Ravens vs Cardinals, Vikings vs Saints , Jags vs Rams and Browns vs Dolphins. Same 8 teams but you have a much higher chance of getting at least 1 or 2 games that might actually matter.

The problem with the London games is that there is no marquee team willing (rightfully so) to sacrifice one of their *big* rivalry games to going overseas. There's no shot that the Patriots would be willing to "host" Denver or Pittsburgh, or Dallas to "host" the Giants.
Hence, we get left with mostly mediocre teams and forgettable matchups

Welp. The Colts slim chances to catch up and make the playoffs just became even more unlikely. They just put 3 players on the IR, including their best offensive lineman (LG Jack Mewhort) and one of their better and most versatile defensive players (S Clayton Geathers). Geathers in particular stings since I think they probably expected him to play a lot of ILB to end the season with D. Jackson suspended and none of the other ILBs really taking off in their roles (though Edwin Jackson is better than I expected him to be).

For me it was a privilege in 2009 to see stars like Brady, Moss and Welker play at their best when they killed Tampa & then in 2012 seeing Brady & Gronk destroy St Louis. Of course games like the Bills/Jags from last year are fun to watch, but the individual performances of the star players is what I take away from attending the games. Ideally though, every game would be like the Saints/Chargers shootout back in 2008 where we had an awesome game between two talented teams!
