LOS ANGELES (AP) — Les Snead really doesn’t mind if the public and the media think he’s a risk-taker whose decade as the Rams’ general manager is defined by his eagerness to mortgage Los Angeles’ future for big-name stars of the present. Snead feels the Rams’ reputation is a lazy mischaracterization of the work and planning that go into his moves.
