At least, not yet. They return to the West Coast as the Ultimate Standings second-worst franchise, down another 13 spots even after a poor showing last year. But they have greater revenue streams, a young roster and the prospects of a new stadium, so they are ever-hopeful of a better day. Things can only turn up ... right?Whats goodThe Rams have finished below .500 in nine straight years, but a title track of 58 suggests fans remain somewhat hopeful that the organization is upward trending (or at least, that enough of them havent forgotten their Super Bowl XXIV win). In terms of hope for the future, Les Snead and Jeff Fisher have at least built an intriguing young core, drafting players such as Aaron Donald, Todd Gurley, Alec Ogletree, Michael Brockers, Trumaine Johnson, T.J. McDonald and Tavon Austin over the last five years. If their most recent draft picks click -- most notably Jared Goff and Pharoh Cooper -- the Rams could be on track for postseason contention. They have the second-youngest roster in the league, so perhaps take their 3-1 start with a grain of salt.Whats badThe organization figured it would burn some bridges by uprooting a franchise, so a fan relations ranking of 121 -- down seven spots from last year -- is not unexpected. Stan Kroenke, the 121st-ranked owner in sports, according to fans, is public enemy No. 1 in St. Louis, and his new fan base is learning how to love again. But some good signs emerged initially. The Rams drew around 90,000 fans for both the first preseason game and the first regular-season game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which ranks 120th in stadium experience, but likely has less to do with the Coliseum than the fact that its not the Edward Jones Dome. That was all part of the honeymoon stage, however. Itll rub off quickly. The Rams will have to win consistently if they hope to maintain attention spans on the West Coast.Whats newThe Rams outfitted themselves for the bright lights of L.A. by moving up 14 spots to take Goff No. 1 overall in the 2016 draft -- a needed addition since the team fell 20 spots in players this year (smaller only than the drop for coach Jeff Fisher, who fell 49 spots after the move). But Goff wasnt even active when the season began, and the offense he watched from the sidelines may be the least aesthetically pleasing in the NFL. In a passing league, the Rams struggle mightily to throw the ball down the field. But they do have stars, most notably with Gurley and Donald, two of the very best at what they do. Theyre hoping Goff eventually ascends, too, so that, you know, they can be a little bit more watchable.Next: San Francisco 49ers?| Full rankings Paul Martin Jersey .

"Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break. Brenden Dillon Jersey . 1 position. The Mustangs (6-0), who beat Queens 50-31 last weekend, earned 17 first-place votes and 287 points in voting by the Football Reporters of Canada. Western was last ranked first in the country in October 2011. Can anyone remember a first month of a season featuring so many meaty matchups of A-list programs? The answer is no, and Week 5 further maintains -- heck, accelerates -- this pleasing trend. Three top-10 conference matchups? That last happened in 1978. Heck, we havent had that many top-10 matchups over one weekend in any season since 2002.Only trouble is a matchup of ranked teams doesnt a classic game make. Weve watched 12 of these so far and only one -- one! -- has been decided by seven or fewer points.Its been kind of a drag, eh? its been noted at the watercooler on these recent Mondays.This week will give us plenty to talk about, as were going to see some early season scripts flip.While Septemberr has been owned by Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson, Clemsons Deshaun Watson is going to be the linchpin in that critical ACC battle.dddddddddddd In the Big Ten, people cant stop talking about Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, but the guy well be raising a newly curious eyebrow about will be Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst. The top spot in the Pac-12 is at stake as Washington tries to figure out the ultimate question in the conference this year: what to do against Christian McCaffrey?Now if we could just get a couple of these games to be in doubt deep into the fourth quarter.
