WOODLAND HILLS, Ca. Super Bowl LX is set to take place on Sunday and while the Los Angeles Rams will not be participating, their top brass has reflected on falling short of making the game, stating how they are moving forward in preparation for a Super Bowl run next season.

McVay Remains Grateful

head coach reflected on the loss and the season, praising the entire organization, fondly remembering the highlights of the season.

“No, not really," stated McVay. "I would say this. That one, for the right reasons because of the love I had for that group… I'll tell you this. I give a lot of credit. It was a high-caliber back and forth game and Seattle won and they advanced, but that was hard. That's part of sports like we've talked about it. Decompress… I don't know if I ever really decompress. I think you know me well enough by now. What I will say is I’ve done a lot of reflection on the appreciation. I get a chance to spend a little bit of time with some of the coaches and some of the players."

"You'll always have those memories and the relationships that were built in the midst of it, but it is hard to see stuff going on where the teams are traveling out there and the coverage and you really wanted to be playing. Seattle earned the right to advance and I loved our team. I am excited about getting back and building it back up. You start it all over. You don't start back at the NFC Championship. You start all over again."

"When you have people that you believe in and you're excited and optimistic about what that can look like if you do it the right way one day at a time, it gives you a lot of excitement about what's ahead. If everything was good, you wouldn't know the difference between the tough ones and the sweet moments. Decompress? No. Appreciation? Yes. Excitement about moving forward? You're damn right.”

Snead Refuses to Ruminate

When asked about avoiding the emotional distress of barely missing the Super Bowl, Rams general manager keeps his eyes to the future.

“I would say rumination is contagious," stated Snead. "It affects me probably just as much or even worse than the fans. Yes, you're going to always regress and you might think about a play but sometimes plays are random. Then you get into the more micro and more macro moments and things you could have done differently. You go through that and what you definitely have to do is at some point, recover, rejuvenate and try to be disciplined to put your amygdala in the backseat and tell your amygdala to shut up."

"Then use your frontal lobe a bit because there are some lessons that you can learn and apply. You can always go, ‘Well if we'd have done this, maybe if you'd have done that, maybe something else would've happened differently as well.’ I can say it doesn't put me on the mat in terms of being paralyzed not to move forward. Like all fans, like a lot of us when you get that close and especially in the two games with Seattle, those two heavyweight fights, from a fan's perspective those were probably really fun games to watch."

"To have to have a winner and loser in each one… they were definitely very tough to be on the side of having less points at the end of the game than the other team. Much respect to what Seattle's done over the last couple years getting to this point.”

Nice weather is on tap for Sunday’s Super Bowl LX, both at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara and in Los Angeles, according to the National Weather Service.

The low clouds and fog that hung over parts of the Santa Clara area Sunday morning were expected to clear by noon, with the region becoming a bit more sunny. Kickoff between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.

Eleanor Delizio, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Monterey, said that temperatures around the stadium will rise into the 60s, and potentially into the upper 60s, “depending on how much sun they get down there.” Winds will be light.

More clouds are expected to arrive in the evening, ushered in by another weather system, but precipitation is not expected in the South Bay. There is a slight chance of evening rain in the North Bay and into wine country, Delizio said.

The weather will be even nicer for fans celebrating in the Los Angeles area, where “you’d hardly believe it’s February,” said Rose Schoenfeld, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard.

“Today is going to be a pretty nice day,” she said.

Temperatures will be in the upper 70s to low 80s — about 10 to 15 degrees above average for this time of year — with “pretty clear skies,” Schoenfeld said.

A slight Santa Ana flow offshore is keeping the marine influence at bay, she said. That comes with a small amount of fire risk, as “we’ve been dry for a really long time here — like a month or so — so some of the grasses have gotten dry.”

However, the winds aren’t very strong. And after several storms drenched the area early in the rainy season, most major fuel sources in the region — such as live trees and bushes — have “enough moisture in them already that they are not primed to burn,” Schoenfeld said. “They can store it from previous rain and have it for a while.”

After the weekend football festivities, “we’re going to take a pretty drastic turn here weather-wise,” Schoenfeld said, with temperatures dropping into the 60s by Tuesday, when there is also a chance of daytime rain.

Light rain is likely Tuesday night into Wednesday, Schoenfeld said, with lingering rain chances through the end of the week.

The amount of shaking that occurs on the surface due to an earthquake is called the intensity. It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!

Compare Quake Data

The more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data. It takes normally up to a few hours until earthquake parameters are calculated with near-optimum precision.

Based on data from the past 56 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 1,500 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):

The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 4 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 30 to 35 years.

Eddie Bauer stores nationwide, including in Southern California, may soon close amid reports that its operator is preparing to file for bankruptcy.
