“It was meant as a play on the fact that the younger, less-experienced Rams with Jared Goff and Sean McVay were beaten by the older, more-experienced duo of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick,” Rodriguez said. “What we missed is that some fans of the Rams remember ‘Lambs’ being used as a term to make light of the Rams. It is not, and has never been, our policy to make fun of the teams we cover. We strive to give a fair representation of what happens on the field, diamond or court. We chronicle the highs, like the 18-inning World Series win this past fall, and lows, like this defeat.”
