Live from Super Bowl week in San Francisco, Erin Coscarelli and Ryan Anderson of LAFB Network take you behind the scenes of one of the most consequential weeks of the Rams' offseason on Bleav in Rams, presented by FanDuel. From the chaos of Radio Row and the BIGGEST moment Rams celebrated - Matthew Stafford's MVP win and emotional return announcement, what his decision means for Sean McVay and the franchise, and why family, belief, and leadership have become central themes in today's NFL. We dive into the Rams' intentional investment in people over optics, and how creative tension between McVay and Stafford actually fuels success. They also break down the expected addition of Kliff Kingsbury to the coaching staff, what he brings schematically and philosophically, and why Los Angeles has quietly become a rehab and relaunch hub for elite coaches. Add in contract questions, special teams changes, international games, and the Rams' knack for winning headlines even when they're not playing, and this episode paints a clear picture of a franchise that's still very much in motion.

The hour starts with a full-on takedown of Giannis' “legends don't chase” victory lap, with one bold prediction: he is getting moved this summer and the tweet is going to age horribly. Then the convo pivots to NFL Honors, where Stafford wins MVP in a razor-thin race and it sparks a hilarious relitigation of last year's Giants debate: would you rather have gone all-in for Stafford, or be in the Jaxson Dart era right now? It gets even weirder with NFL Honors moments that left everyone confused, plus callers diving into Super Bowl strategy (Patriots defense vs Seahawks weapons), the never-ending Brady vs Belichick argument, and an alternate universe where the Jets drafted Brady in 2000. Along the way: a legendary Reese's slip-up, why Philly suddenly feels like it's falling apart, what Stoutland and Schwartz resignations could mean, the Giants adding Greg Roman, a Malik Nabers injury timeline breakdown, and a closer look at Russell Wilson's social media behavior that somehow makes Brady's “no dog in the fight” look normal.

Matthew Stafford takes home MVP in a razor-thin finish over Drake May, sparking a deep dive into how close the race really was and why Stafford's late-career surge keeps getting louder. That leads straight into a relitigation of last year's Giants argument: should the Giants have pushed in for Stafford when the rumors were flying, or is landing Jaxson Dart and resetting the franchise timeline the better path? From there, the NFL Honors recap turns into a comedy of confusion, including awkward announcing moments and the kind of “how did this happen?” production decisions that leave everyone staring at each other. The segment wraps with callers and a classic debate about judging Hall of Fame players across eras, plus a reminder that you cannot just box-score your way through football history.

Christian McCaffrey: It's NOT nothing.. Rams, Stafford, Adams?

A bold claim that Patriots vs Seahawks is the least appealing Super Bowl of the last decade. To prove it, the guys run through Super Bowls year by year, comparing pregame intrigue, star power, coaches, quarterbacks, and overall buzz. Brady vs Mahomes, Stafford's redemption, dynasties, underdogs, and first-time contenders all get stacked up against this matchup, and nearly all of them come out ahead. The debate dives into why this Super Bowl feels flat, whether it is fatigue with familiar franchises, less compelling versions of past dynasties, or simply a lack of must-see characters. It wraps with a Monday gut prediction that this game could get ugly, even if opinions might change by kickoff.

Phil and Matt Simms open the episode by discussing the Giants' offseason uncertainty after losing out on Todd Monken, breaking down what John Harbaugh should prioritize in finding the right offensive coordinator for quarterback Jaxson Dart. The conversation then shifts to the NFL Hall of Fame, with Phil delivering a passionate critique of Bill Belichick not being a first-ballot inductee, calling it a failure of the voting system and questioning the credibility of the process. The second half of the show focuses on the NFL awards, with the Simms giving their own picks for Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, & MVP. Phil strongly argues that Matthew Stafford deserves MVP, while also pushing back against the league's quarterback-heavy award culture and advocating for greater recognition of defensive stars like Myles Garrett. The episode wraps with a broader discussion about how awards should evolve to better reflect football as a true team sport rather than a quarterback-only competition.

Sticking with coaches we go over our feelings regarding the Bills promoting OC Joe Brady to replace Sean McDermott as well as the Browns fumbling the hiring process, Shedeur Sanders making the Pro Bowl, and what to expect from Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh. Finally we preview the Senior Bowl, discussing some of the better prospects and what to expect from the quarterback position. Enjoy!

Around fifteen years ago, an office worker in Stafford, England, spent her mornings in a quiet upstairs workspace housed inside a 16th-century building. The lower floors operated as a popular café and restaurant, while the upper level remained closed to the public, shared by only a small team.One early morning, during a routine start to the day, she briefly stepped into an empty part of the building before returning to her desk. Nothing felt unusual. Nothing seemed out of place.Moments later, a casual question from a coworker shifted everything.What followed was silent, physical, and impossible to explain—an experience that left no sense of danger, no feeling of harm, and yet stayed vivid long after it ended. She continued working in the building for years. But there was one part of it she never entered again.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #HauntedWorkplace #HistoricBuilding #UnexplainedMark #SilentHaunting #ListenerStory #SubtleParanormal #UKGhostStory Love real ghost stories?

Five Years After a Franchise Pivot Five years on, the Detroit Lions trade that sent Matthew Stafford to the Rams and brought Jared Goff and draft capital to Detroit still defines the arc of both franchises. The timing mattered. Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes had just arrived. Candidates for those jobs were warned that Stafford might not be a Detroit Lion for long. Stafford had back concerns at the time and no interest in grooming a successor. Detroit's roster had been stripped by the end of the Quinntricia era. The team needed a reset. Stafford wanted to win right away. The deal marked the end of an era and a clean break. Los Angeles sought a quarterback who could maximize Sean McVay's offense. Goff's run there had crested. Detroit accepted Goff and the picks and turned the page. It was bold. It was necessary. It was an NFL trade that changed two locker rooms overnight. Winners on Both Sides, Different Paths Both sides got what they needed. The Rams won a Super Bowl. In year five after the trade, Stafford just won the MVP. The Rams are still playing, with an NFC championship game ahead and a chance at another Super Bowl. That is validation. The Detroit Lions gained, too. Goff's trajectory in Detroit has risen. The offense stabilized. The team culture grew under Campbell and Holmes. The trade created space to build and compete without clinging to a fading timeline. It was not about declaring a single winner. It was about fit and timing, and both teams found theirs. Goff's Detroit Arc by the Numbers The numbers tell the Detroit Lions story. Goff's overall winning percentage dipped slightly from 60% to 58%, but removing the first seasons in each stop makes the rates nearly identical. His first year in Los Angeles included only seven starts. His first Detroit season ended 3-13-1. Since then, the results track closely. Accuracy improved. His completion rate in Detroit is up 4.4 percentage points, from 63.4 to 67.9. The touchdown-to-interception ratio is better. Average yards per attempt is higher. Yards per completion is slightly lower. Yards per game is almost unchanged. The passer rating jump is stark: 91.5 across five Los Angeles seasons to 101.3 across five in Detroit. Goff has authored 15 game-winning drives and 12 fourth quarter comebacks with the Lions. He has made two Pro Bowls in Detroit. He finished sixth in Comeback Player of the Year voting in 2022. In 2024, he received MVP consideration and finished ninth for Offensive Player of the Year. These are concrete gains, not vibes. Five years later, the Detroit Lions are stronger for the reset, and the Rams achieved the immediate payoff they pursued. That is the lasting impact of a blockbuster that reshaped the NFL and still reverberates on the Detroit Lions Podcast. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #matthewstafford #jaredgoff #losangelesrams #dancampbell #bradholmes #seanmcvay #nfcchampionship #game-winningdrives #fourthquartercomebacks #completionpercentage #qbrating #comebackplayeroftheyear #offensiveplayeroftheyear Learn more about your ad choices.
