Legendary Rams QB named among highest-graded players since 2000
Legendary Rams QB named among highest-graded players since 2000 The Los Angeles Rams' history over the past 25 years has been up and down. The franchise enjoyed a great start to the millennium with two consecutive playoff appearances and one Super Bowl berth before not seeing much success until Sean McVay became head coach in 2017. But over the past 25 years, one Rams quarterback made Pro Football Network's top-25 highest-graded quarterbacks list: Kurt Warner. He was a three-time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro and two-time MVP during his six years with the Rams after going undrafted in 1994 and playing for the AFL and NFL Europe. "Kurt Warner's career started before the QB+ era, but it includes some of the best years measured by the metric. In 2000, he led the NFL in completion percentage (67.7%), yards per completion (14.6), and net yards per pass attempt (9.03). "Warner made his mark with the St. Louis Rams during 'The Greatest Show on Turf,' one of the NFL's most explosive offenses. He later had a successful run with the Arizona Cardinals, earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2008 at age 37. Warner finished his career with 32,344 passing yards, 208 touchdowns, and a 93.7 passer rating. In 2001, he led the league with 4,830 yards and 36 TD passes. "From an advanced standpoint, Warner's numbers weren't elite but were solid — +0.13 EPA per dropback and 7.5 net yards per attempt. Those numbers, combined with his playoff success, helped earn him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame." As PFN noted, Warner was the leader of "The Greatest Show on Turf" alongside Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce and Marshall Faulk. The group only won on Super Bowl together in 1999, but proved to be one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NFL at the turn of the century. Now, his bust sits in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a sign of one of the greatest Rams players ever.

'Something special going on'; What ABC's Mike Breen sees from the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Finals
The Indiana Pacers remain underdogs in the NBA Finals after building a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. ABC play-by-play announcer Mike Breen sees reason to question that. "There's something special going on with that team right now, that's for sure," he said Thursday on the "Dan Patrick Show." Despite their tremendous regular-season record and march through the Western Conference playoffs, the Thunder are younger and less experienced that Indiana. OKC has the league's second-youngest roster and last season won one playoff series. The Pacers are older and reached the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals, where they were swept by the eventual champion Boston Celtics. Breen believes that experience is valuable. "I know this sounds ridiculous, but that was a close sweep," noting that three of the four games went down to the final minute. "They played well. They gained valuable experience. "Continuity is the most underrated part of basketball, to have the same guys who know their strengths and weaknesses and have been through the wars together. It's showing right now." Listen up: Magic Johnson has advice for Tyrese Haliburton 'D-Day' for Thunder: What Charles Barkley thinks about NBA Finals Game 4 Breen acknowledged that "the series is far from over" and that OKC's smothering defense could return. However, he's a little concerned about the Thunder after Game 3. "That's the first time I've seen the Thunder look that way," he said. "They looked unsure of themselves, as well as being fatigued. I've never seen that from them." Game 4 is Friday night in Indianapolis.
