Los Angeles Rams coach Jeff Fisher took ownership of the poor state of his football team late Monday afternoon, but then he brought up the logistics he believes have affected it.Im disappointed with the record, Fisher said, but I dont think anybody really knows what weve been going through.Fisher, whose team is 4-7 after Sundays 49-21 thrashing at the hands of the New Orleans Saints,?was referencing the move from St. Louis that was followed by a heavy regular-season travel schedule that included a trip to London and several trips to the East Coast.Weve been through a lot, Fisher said. Its not an excuse, but weve been through more than any other team in the National Football League this offseason -- the moves and the travel and all those things. Were dealing with those as best as we can.The Rams have lost six of seven games for the first time since 2011, the year before Fisher took over. Their next three opponents, the New England Patriots, Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks,?are a combined 23-9-1, which means itll be difficult for the Rams to finish this season with the 7-9 record that has been their staple under Fisher.Its my responsibility, Fisher said. Ultimately, its my responsibility. The win-loss record falls on my shoulders.Fishers Rams have been no better than 7-8-1, though the franchise lost 65 of 80 games in the five years leading up to his first season. Fisher has kept the Rams competitive, but they have been unable to progress beyond mediocrity and have been plagued by penalties and a sluggish offense. Since 2012, the Rams are first in the NFL in total penalties (691) and last in yards per game (309.1).Now Fisher -- along with general manager Les Snead -- is heading into the final month of his current contract, with no extension announced. The expectation remains that Fisher will return next season, but his future seemingly gets cloudier by the day. Fans in Los Angeles and those remaining in St. Louis continue to clamor for him to be fired.Im not pleased with where we are right now, Fisher said. Each year, each roster is different. We took over a 2-14 team, and we built it. We were competitive. Weve had quarterback issues. You guys can do the math. You know how many different quarterbacks weve played with. Weve moved on. Were moving forward with?Jared [Goff]. Weve got a roster that we need to continue to upgrade.Im disappointed with the record. I dont think anybody really knows what weve been going through, but Im into this week. Im into the Patriots. Im disappointed in last week, into this week and moving forward. As I told you guys before, I dont look over my shoulder. Custom Yankees Jerseys . Louis Blues. Shane Hnidy joins Brian Munz for the broadcast on TSN 1290 Radio at 7pm ct.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Ten Brazilians who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State militant group were arrested Thursday, authorities announced, describing them as amateurs who discussed on social media the possibility of staging attacks during next months Olympics.Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes said in the capital, Brasilia, that the 10 were being held on two terrorism-related charges and that two more people were being sought.Authorities said any attack plan would have had little chance of coming to fruition, citing the groups lack of resources and skills.But officials and security experts argued that police were justified in being aggressive in light of lone wolf attacks staged in the U.S. and Europe by men with little or no training.Moraes said police acted because the group discussed using weapons and guerrilla tactics to potentially launch an attack during the Olympics, which begin in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 5. They will remain in police custody for at least 30 days.They were complete amateurs and ill-prepared to actually launch an attack, Moraes said. A few days ago they said they should start practicing martial arts, for example.He said that there were no specific targets for an attack, but that even disorganized groups have to be taken seriously.The possibility of an attack is not so far-fetched even though Brazil has never been a target for terrorism, said Alex Kassirer, a counterterrorism analyst at Flashpoint, a New York-based intelligence group.The Olympics is a really unique opportunity to be able to target a concentration of all of the enemies in one area, she said.Kassirer pointed out the Islamic State group launched a channel in May on the messaging app Telegram to disseminate jihadi propaganda specifically in Portuguese. On Sunday, another channel vowed allegiance to IS, although its authenticity has not been determined, she said.The arrests were made in 10 different states, including Sao Paulo and Parana in the southern part of the country, and it was not clear whether the suspects knew each other beyond their online contacts.Moraes said authorities seized computers, cellphones and other equipment, but no weapons.Authorities said the investigation that begann in April showed the suspects had all been baptized as Islamic State sympathizers online but none had actually traveled to Syria or Iraq, the groups stronghold, or received any training.dddddddddddd Several were allegedly trying to secure financing from IS.Investigators said none of the suspects was of Arab descent, but released no details on their religion. They were described as being between the ages of 20 and 40, except for one minor.Newton de Oliveira, a professor and security specialist at Mackenzie Presbyterian University in Rio de Janeiro, applauded authorities for detecting the group, saying recent world events raised worries about terrorism during the sporting event.But he cautioned it was hard to say how serious this threat was.Its not clear whether we are talking about young people getting carried away or if they were going to move forward with actions, Oliveira said.The justice minister said one of the suspects communicated with a store in Paraguay via email in an alleged attempt to buy an AK-47 assault rifle, apparently the most concrete action taken toward a possible attack. The email communication was intercepted by police.Brazilians are allowed to possess small firearms but must have a license and training to do so. Only members of the military may possess assault weapons like the AK-47, although those and other firearms are common in the country, especially in slums controlled by drug gangs.Last week the top military aide for Brazils interim government said concerns over terrorism had reached a higher level after the truck attack that killed 84 people in Nice, France.Officials did not raise the countrys terror alert level Thursday following the raids.Security has emerged as the top concern during the Olympics, including violence possibly spilling over from Rios hundreds of slums. Authorities have said 85,000 police officers and soldiers will be patrolling during the competitions.---This story has been corrected to reflect that the store from which one suspect allegedly tried to acquire an assault rifle is in Paraguay, not Brazil.
