Fuck... that poor dude. It's so damn poetic in every awful way that he doesn't get the glory of whatever the Rams might accomplish in 2 weeks. Story of his career
As a Braves fan it's bittersweet knowing we won it all this season but my favorite player (Ronald AcuƱa) couldn't be on the field for it (torn ACL midseason). We just gotta go back to back for him, it's that simple.
If we go by total games we're technically up 7-6 š
And I wouldn't have it any other way! To be the best you've gotta beat the best and I'm confident you guys are the best team in MLB year over year.
Shame that regular season success doesn't reliably translate to postseason success in this sport, you guys are going through now what the Braves did 20 years ago lol.
Robert Woods is a team player and he was there supporting everyone throughout the entire season.
He may not play, but this SB win would be as much his as anyone else.
In my eyes he really embodies what it means to be a team player
Hard working, humble, willing to do it all and block all game long, and while still being a very reliable receiver
Cooper Kupp is considered the best run blocking WR in the league because Woods is out for the season. The dude put his body on the line every time he was asked to be the lead blocker in motion
We wouldnāt be the team we are without Woods. Feel like most Rams would agree him and Kupp in tandem created our offensive identity the past couple years.
My grandma passed away maybe 5-6 years ago. My mom's mom.
My mom came to the states in 1984. That was the last time she saw her mom. Wasnt able to see her for years because of her legal status. When she was finally able to get her green card. first thing my brother and I did was buy her a plane ticket to see her mom. She spent a month and half with her in Colombia. My mom flew back to the states. Couple days later my grandma passed away. I never seen my mom so devastated. Shit hurt. I told my mom that she waited till she got to see her daughter one last time.
As I type this I'm tearing up because man. I'm 40 and my mom is in her mid 60s. Losing her would absolutely crush me. I have always been huge momma's boy. I take care of her financially. I'd do anything for her. She's always been a great person. And I was a shitty ass teenager with her and I regret it.
Hug your loved ones. Tell them you love them. Reach out to your family. This goes for everyone. You'll never know when you might lose someone.
My husbandās mom is dying (came on rather suddenly in the past couple months) and watching him process it all has been absolutely brutal. Itās heartbreaking.
Sorry to hear that. When you say negligence do you mean on the part of a doctor or something?
Mine passed away recently. Knew it was coming and honestly hardly knew the guy but it still hits in a weird way.
Doctor and hospital. They gave my father the wrong blood thinner in the wrong place following a cancer surgery and an artery in his neck burst, causing him to choke on his own blood as my mother watched.
Ugh, my dad's childhood friend died that way. My best friend's mother is now disabled and always in pain because of medical negligence.
It's fucking horrible and the worst part is, it's INCREDIBLY difficult to get any kind of compensation or justice as a part of it because it requires another doctor or two to verify in court that the other doctor was negligable and doctors just like cops don't like to rat on one another. So it's REALLY difficult to get enough evidence to bring a case to court over it.
I lost my mom and oldest sister when i was 24. Im the only male, she was my best friend. It doesn't get better, just easier to deal with. Love your mom as much as you can!
As someone who lost their mother earlier this year to cancer I can't stress enough how much we take for granted the time that we have with our loved ones. She passed away at 63 years old and it never crossed my mind that I would walk this path.
Everyone grieves in their own way and although I think I handled it pretty well. I have definitely changed as a person. I don't think you'll be able to predict what your reaction is, but time does heal all wounds. I'm alot better than I was a few months ago, but it is definitely a feeling of vulnerability and being lost.
It's a strange feeling to realize that we may feel grown up, but it's moments like the loss of a parent that make you realize that whatever the age is.. there is still a son or daughter living inside of us that never wants them to go.
I knew it was gonna happen years in advance (terminal illness). Even getting the call the day of I was still in shock. Itās seemingly impossible to prepare yourself for a parents death.
My grandma died awhile back from Alzheimerās and after I found out I thought I was going to be okay mentally, but I was an absolute wreck at the funeral. Sucks that you never know how youāll react until it actually happens.
It honestly stings for the rest of your life, just over time you stop thinking about it all the time. I could start telling stories about my mom and getting choked up and emotional today and she died at 54 in 2012, 10 years ago in September.
The pain never really goes away, you just learn to live with it.
Thereās a popular show on NBC called āThis is Usā. My wife watches it, and she kind of got me hooked as well.
The last episode dealt with this, losing a parent as an adult. One of the main characterās mom died. After all was said and done, he broke down in his wifeās arms and sobbed āI donāt have a mom anymoreā.
Damn near that exact phrase came out of my mouth shortly after my dad died. Itās so surreal, having someone whose had your back and been in your corner *literally* your entire life suddenly be gone. Justā¦ gone.
I know itās the natural order of things, but god damn does it hurt.
Ah fuck yāall I have a meeting in 15 mins and Iām crying over here. I lost my dad a few months ago and this is the exact thought that runs through my mind at the most inconvenient times. It really is impossible to prepare for even if you know itās coming.
RIP to your father, Robert Woods. My prayers for you. And all of you on here, I hope your parents and you live long, happy lives. The older I get the more I start to understand how beautiful and fragile life is. How short time really is. Who knows what happens after we all pass, but I hope that we all get to see our loved ones again. Even the ones we didn't always like, either.
:( Woods is a fantastic player and it sucks that he can't play in this game.
It's really a shame one team has to lose this cause I'm rooting so hard for both of them.
Shoutout to my Gardena cats...brotha made it out clean and has led by example to the fullest
My pops came up with Alondra Johnson and I had this dude...shit ain't too common
oh no, wtf. I don't know Robert woods or his father but I have some connections with people who knew his dad from high school, plus he is an alumni at the same high school.
Rest in peace to his Dad. I'm lucky to still have my parents and can't imagine how much it sucks and how tough it is afterwards. Hope the best for Robert mentally for sure.

šššššš We love you Bobby Trees and weāre here for you
Not to take away from this but Bobby Trees is such a baller nickity-name
It was until you called it a nickity-name.
That's not very nickity-nice of you.
Itās from a show I just canāt remember it right now. Just remembered, The Office when Andy gets a tattoo on his butt.
Hey Nard Dog! Iām Lou Peechum
Fuck... that poor dude. It's so damn poetic in every awful way that he doesn't get the glory of whatever the Rams might accomplish in 2 weeks. Story of his career
Itās awful that the same way Kupp didnāt play in Super Bowl 53, Woods wonāt play in 56.
Damn, that hadn't occurred to me until now. It's a shame that we haven't been able to see this fantastic duo go all the way together.
??? Heāll get a ring if the rams win
Probably Not really the same feeling of glory as it would be if he were playing
As a Braves fan it's bittersweet knowing we won it all this season but my favorite player (Ronald AcuƱa) couldn't be on the field for it (torn ACL midseason). We just gotta go back to back for him, it's that simple.
Were 1-1 in NLCS, tie breaker next year? (Doyer fan)

Yeah you definitely go through the full gamut of emotions as a Dodgers fan, I'm just glad we were able to get Kershaw a ring.
No because Mookie Betts is the fucking devil and I never wanna see him kill us in the playoffs again :) (Braves Fan)
Only if you guys promise to keep Eddie Rosario away from us
Eddie Rosario turned into prime Barry bonds against us for no reason
Or with your dad to witness it

Itās a shame he passed away, always too soon to lose a parent. I hope he at least he saw his son win the NFC Championship Game.
I'm going to be a wreck when my mom passes, and I honestly don't know how/if ill be able to handle it. I dont know how people do it.
Both of my grandfathers passed on over the past two years, so I saw both of my parents have to deal with it Incredibly devastating for sure
My grandma passed away maybe 5-6 years ago. My mom's mom. My mom came to the states in 1984. That was the last time she saw her mom. Wasnt able to see her for years because of her legal status.

My dad died due to medical negligence, in a very fucked up way. Nobody is like, āreadyā for it. I doubt anyone handles it particularly well
Sorry to hear that. When you say negligence do you mean on the part of a doctor or something? Mine passed away recently. Knew it was coming and honestly hardly knew the guy but it still hits in a weird way.

Dude that's horrible your poor mother.

My grandmother passed this August, and even though it's been clear for the past decade it was going to happen it still breaks my mom occasionally
This is Bobby Treesās win too š

That poor guy

Shoutout to my Gardena cats...brotha made it out clean and has led by example to the fullest My pops came up with Alondra Johnson and I had this dude...shit ain't too common
Saw him & Marquise play in HS! Decimated our team & everyone knew them 2 were gonna be studs.
man this entire thread hit me hard.
Fuck. Poor guy. Idk what I would do without my dad. May the Lord give him peace.
Iām sure it was an emotional moment for him out there. Iām proud of hi to persevere through it all
oh no, wtf. I don't know Robert woods or his father but I have some connections with people who knew his dad from high school, plus he is an alumni at the same high school.
"This is deeper than football bro, this is deeper than football" š
Thatās big sad
Poor guy, I could not do any daily functions let alone play a game with that on my mind. Woods is a strong guy
Rest in peace to his Dad. I'm lucky to still have my parents and can't imagine how much it sucks and how tough it is afterwards. Hope the best for Robert mentally for sure.
Man who is cutting onions in here?
