One of the main reasons Rams coach Sean McVay was hired a few months ago was because of his strong offensive background. As the offensive coordinator for the Washington Redskins he was in charge of one of the top offenses in the NFL last year. Now McVay is trying to transform a Rams offense that was one of the worst in the NFL last season. The offense starts with the quarterback, a strong offensive line and fast and sure handed receivers. During the off season McVay has signed veteran offensive...
The Los Angeles Rams finished their organized team activities this week and will start their mandatory minicamp next week under new head coach Sean McVay.

"This is the first time we have had all of the players ready," said Sparks coach Brian Agler, after the Sparks beat the Chicago Sky 79-70 last Tuesday at Staples Center. The win was Agler's 300th WNBA...

To add insult to injury one of their best players, sophomore...
