Los Angeles Rams
Heading into the 2017 season, there were many, many questions about the Los Angeles Rams. The best free agent signing? Goff or Watkins? Does Sean McVay really have what it takes to succeed? The list of what not to do at the start of this season was long and it included the hiring of McVay as the head coach, the move to Los Angeles, the questionable re-signing of Todd Gurley, and the ill-fated trade of Sammy Watkins.
Well, they’ve answered a lot of those questions. They finished the regular season at 9-7 and won the division. The Rams took on the Chargers in the playoffs and in spite of a few late game collapses, they beat them in the first round and went on to win the Super Bowl. They also made it back to the playoffs and did what no other Rams team has done since the 2004 season: they won a playoff game at home.
The Rams also made a number of trade acquisitions during the season. They acquired the aforementioned Watkins in exchange for a second-round draft pick. They also acquired Robert Woods from the Buffalo Bills. They traded for Brandin Cooks from the New England Patriots. They also drafted South Carolina defensive end Takkarist McKinley with the 30th overall pick. So, what’s next?

There are so many things to consider in terms of the Rams future.
First, the Rams have a major injury crisis heading into the offseason. Their best defensive player, Aaron Donald, is now rehabilitating from a torn ACL and there will be no guarantees that he returns to form. They also lost two of their best receivers, Woods and Cooks, via trade.
There are a number of questions to be answered. Will Todd Gurley prove he can remain healthy? Can the Rams re-sign either Woods or Cooks? Can they acquire a top wide receiver?
Assuming Donald returns to form, the Rams will have the talent to make the playoffs. How far they go in the playoffs will depend upon how well they can replace Watkins 01e38acffe

One of the UK's best-known book shops has gone into administration, blaming a "perfect storm" of falling revenues and a new business model.
Foyles, a 30-year-old chain with branches in London, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Cardiff, said it was selling its 50.7% stake in film book publisher Film Book Store.
Like some of the chain's other stores, the London-based Foyles is selling to book chain Waterstones.
The administrators, Duffin Mackrill, said it had been unable to find a buyer for the business.
Foyles plans to close two stores - in Oxford and Bury St Edmunds - and shut its online business.
Dangerous decision
The group said the Booksellers' Association and the National Union of Students had warned Foyles that its decision to shut its website and move to an e-commerce model had left it vulnerable to online competition.
It said it had therefore decided to close the stores - despite being in its first year of the new model - to safeguard the future of the group and its 3,500 employees.
"Today we must regretfully announce that the company has been left with no other alternative but to enter into administration," the administrators said.
"The board has been working around the clock to explore all options but, despite considerable effort to find a new buyer, we have been unable to do so."
Foyles chief executive Ian Foyles said: "It has been a privilege to have been a part of Foyles and we have loved every minute of it.
"When we came together as a group in 1985, we were just six small bookshops - today, we have three times that number.
"We will miss our colleagues and customers enormously and we will do everything in our power to help our staff in their transition to new jobs."
Foyles had initially been planning to sell Film Book Store to another book chain, but the purchase collapsed after the other party withdrew.
Waterstones said it was pleased to be acquiring Foyles, which it said was a "great bookshop with an excellent reputation" and a "fantastic team".
The company added: "It
