Left tackle Alaric Jackson is a pending free agent, but the Rams are not apt to offer him an elite-level contract.

It was apt that boyhood Dundee fan - and former United striker - Simon Murray delivered the winning moment, a precise flicked header inside the opening minute.

“Monkey see, monkey do” isn’t just a playground aphorism, it’s a pretty apt way of describing the behavior of us primates.

And the premise — the maddening, exhausting tension between the creative and the hollowly lucrative — feels especially apt right now.

The analogy is apt because the grass always grows back.
