The Los Angeles Rams will make their selections in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft from the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Air Operations base in Van Nuys to honor the first responders who stopped the deadly wildfires that ravaged Southern California earlier this year.
The Rams are converting a room in the Air Operations complex to serve as the draft headquarters for general manager Les Snead and coach Sean McVay, while an adjacent hangar will be occupied by scouts and coaches during the three-day draft next week. The LAFD base will remain fully operational during its visit from the Rams.
“Drafting from LAFD Air Operations is a powerful reminder of what it means to represent Los Angeles,” Rams president Kevin Demoff said. “Since the wildfires devastated our region in January, we have looked to bring LA together to help with the recovery efforts, raise the spirits of those impacted and shine a light on our first responders. We are humbled to partner with LAFD during one of the NFL’s biggest moments to express gratitude for those who risk their lives daily to protect our city.”

The Rams are also renovating the recreation room at the Air Operations base, leaving behind recliners and other improvements for the firefighters’ resting areas. About 150 first responders from around the region will meet with McVay, Demoff and other Rams executives on Day 2 of the draft.
The wildfires had a significant impact on the Rams franchise. The team’s training complex in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles was within a few miles of the Kenneth Fire in the western end of the San Fernando Valley, and some players and team personnel had to evacuate their homes as a precaution.
The fires were at their worst during the week before the start of the NFL postseason. The resulting smoke pollution and strain on public resources compelled the league to move the Rams’ wild-card round home game against Minnesota to Glendale, Arizona.
The Rams say they have donated nearly $2 million to fire relief efforts. They’ve also hosted distribution events for evacuated families, staged football clinics for students affected by the fires and sold co-branded merchandise with the LAFD logo to support the fire department and the American Red Cross.
“Hosting the NFL draft at LAFD Air Operations highlights the critical role our Air Operations division plays in protecting Los Angeles, especially during wildfire season,” interim fire chief Ronnie Villanueva said. “The Rams’ generosity — renovating our station and recognizing our firefighters — demonstrates a deep commitment to the city we all serve.”
In 2021, the Rams began a tradition of moving their draft headquarters to a symbolic location in the Los Angeles area. After setting up camp in a Malibu beach mansion four years ago, the team has since conducted its draft operations from large homes in the Hollywood Hills, Tarzana and Hermosa Beach.

Craque Neto elege único time que bate Flamengo no Brasil
Filipe Luís em ação durante jogo do Flamengo (Gilvan de Souza - Flamengo - Divulgação) O Craque Neto está seguro de que o Flamengo será dominante na temporada 2025 do futebol brasileiro, mas ele disse acreditar que um único adversário pode fazer frente ao badalado time de Filipe Luís: o Palmeiras. No “Os Donos da Bola” desta segunda-feira (28), o apresentador da Band disse que é natural times perderem pontos contra o rubro-negro carioca no pleito pelo Brasileirão, e indicou a equipe de Abel Ferreira como a principal ameaça aos cariocas. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Perder para o Flamengo, quase todo mundo vai perder, é como perder. Eu acho que só o Palmeiras bate de frente, e talvez um clássico do Rio que é uma outra motivação, que isso é natural”, opinou o Craque Neto. “O Pedro voltou, cinco jogos, quatro gols. […]
Craque Neto aponta time a ser batido na Libertadores 2025: “É o candidato”
Craque Neto é apresentador da Band (Reprodução/Band) A Libertadores da América 2025 ainda está na disputa da fase de grupos, mas um clube em especial chama muito a atenção do ex-jogador Craque Neto.

Em três jogos disputados, o Verdão venceu os três – tem a melhor campanha da fase de grupos -, sendo que o último jogo foi diante do Bolívar, vitória por 3 a 2, na altitude de La Paz (BOL). PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Palmeiras mostrou a grandeza de um time que administra, mostrou uma força incrível, contra 3.600 metros de altitude, mostrou velocidade, gol. Único time que ganhou do Bolívar lá duas vezes foi o Palmeiras. É o candidato a ganhar o título”, cravou Craque Neto, durante o “Os Donos da […]

NFL Draft 2025: How Cowboys’ first-round pick Tyler Booker reminds Jerry Jones of Michael Irvin
Getty Images FRISCO, Texas -- Alabama Crimson Tide All-American offensive guard Tyler Booker, the 12th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, hasn't been a Cowboy for even a week. However, he already has both All-Pro edge Micah Parsons and Dallas owner and general manager Jerry Jones ready to run through a brick wall after each have heard him speak. Parsons interviewed Booker on Bleacher Report's NFL Draft live reaction show shortly after the latter was selected by Dallas. After he heard Booker talking about making his opponents lose their love of football while going against him, he got Parsons screaming, "God damn, you just got me hype! Let's go! Hey man, welcome to the team!"Jones had an equivalent reaction -- as much as an 82-year-old can have to Parsons' fiery reaction -- while sitting next to […]
