## Resource

The LA Rams’ shocking 13th overall pick of Ty Simpson ignited fan debate, with coach Sean McVay playing it cool—until Steve Smith Sr. dropped a bombshell: Matthew Stafford’s contract extension and aging body might signal his imminent retirement. Smith theorized McVay, already a “hermit of football,” could step away from coaching once Stafford leaves, unable to juggle family and the game. Stephen A. Smith fired back, calling the Simpson pick unsurprising given Stafford’s age—and Stafford himself insists his focus is on peak performance. The Rams are clearly building for the future, weaving a complex future that’s just beginning to unfold. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
