The jet sweep is a long play that takes a while to develop. The Rams worked the play at the Rose Bowl, maybe the probably the Friday practice before the Super Bowl. Cooper cup and Matthew Stafford fumbled that exchange a couple of times. And it's that you think about the intangibles, the conscientious of those two players.
After nearly 12 years as general manager for the L.A.

An episode for every fan who has played Monday-morning quarterback, and all of us who wonder how those who play for high stakes survive and thrive.
