New York Giants’ Fake Injury Play A Novel Way Of Stopping Sam Bradford

If Monday Night Football has taught us one thing about the St. Louis Rams, it’s that they need to invest in some gloves with velcro on them, or one of those bungee cords with a net on one end for the football to go inside. If it taught as another thing, it’s that the Rams’ new offense is extraordinarily fast, and that Sam Bradford and Josh McDaniels are the same soul trapped in different bodies.
