“When the NFL came back to Los Angeles, I had dreamed of a Super Bowl between the Rams and the Cowboys in that great metropolitan area -- which, as we know, is impossible. This is the next best thing because of it being in Los Angeles and how significant it is to the NFL, and how proud I am of Stan and the Rams franchise" -- Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones, ahead of his team's divisional playoff game in L.A. against the Rams on Saturday. Jones was instrumental in helping Stan Kroenke bring the Rams to L.A. (L.A. TIMES, 1/8).

"I'm going to wreck him" -- New Stewart-Haas Racing driver Daniel Suarez, joking about Joe Gibbs Racing driver Martin Truex Jr. Truex' move to JGR "left Suarez without a ride" until he moved to SHR (ESPN.com, 1/7).
