Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
Matthew Stafford hasn’t officially made a statement after the Los Angeles Rams took Ty Simpson in the 2026 NFL draft. Everyone’s waiting to hear from the reigning MVP, but if history tells us anything, don’t expect any drama from Stafford’s end. The reason we might not have heard from Stafford is that, like the rest […]
The 2026 NFL Draft may be over, but we’re not yet done with 2026 mock drafts. It is time to score them. The scoring system is simple. For every number of picks a selection is off, the mock drafter gets a point. If someone mocked TJ Parker to the Chargers at 22, which was a […]
How Close is Rams QB Matthew Stafford to Retirement? The Los Angeles Rams drafted Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday night in Pittsburgh, and then made something clear: Matthew Stafford is not done. Head coach Sean McVay said it plainly after the pick was made. [...]
The Edmonton Oilers are on the brink. They’re heading home down 3-1 to the Anaheim Ducks after dropping both games on the road. Anaheim is led by young talent, but built with experience. They’ve got no pressure, which is allowing them to play freely. Edmonton hasn’t played well in this series and fully deserves to be…
The 2026 NFL Draft saw a robust trade market. Over the course of 257 selections, there were 41 distinct trades made, or nearly six per round. In fact, 112 different 2026 selections were moved at some point, or nearly 44% of the draft (and that excludes picks that had been traded prior to the start […]

The Oilers are heading back to Edmonton facing elimination after a 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks in Game 4 on Sunday night in Anaheim, putting them behind 3-1 in this first-round series. Things started well for the visiting team. Kasperi Kapanen opened the scoring 38 seconds into the game, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins added a…
The Cubs had a 5-2 week, which on its face is excellent. The way it ended, with two losses to the Dodgers after sweeping the Phillies and mounting a stirring comeback Friday in Los Angeles, wasn’t great. But this team is still showing that it can compete with anyone, even with multiple bullpen injuries. Here’s […]
Rams First Round Project The surprise of the first round of the NFL draft had to be the LA Rams selecting Ty Simpson on Thursday night. Drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick was not on my bingo card. Simpson walks into a room with the reigning MVP firmly in place and [...]

It took a weekend rally, but the Dodgers continued their streaks of winning weeks to open the season. They bookended the week with blowout wins, but in between saw the offense disappear, losing a series in San Francisco. Winning the last two games against the Cubs gave the Dodgers a 4-3 week. Newly-signed closer Edwin […]
After the Los Angeles Rams selected Ty Simpson with their first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, they waited until their second round selection and 61st overall pick to go and grab Max Klare, tight end out of Purdue and Ohio State. Klare joins perhaps the deepest tight end room in the league along with […]
The handling of the Micah Parsons trade by the Dallas Cowboys has taken fans on a wild ride. Public perception was incredibly low at the beginning, but it may be on the rebound as the assets have turned into real players. There is no exact, scientific live poll to measure public opinion at each of these precise […]
Now that the 2026 NFL draft has come and gone for the Los Angeles Rams, it’s never too early to look ahead to next year. Quarterback shouldn’t be a position of need for the Rams after taking Ty Simpson, but that didn’t stop one 2027 mock draft from spicing things up. SB Nation’s James Dator […]
Matchday 15 of the UEFA Champions League Fantasy game arrives with the stakes higher than ever, and with only elite sides left in the competition, picking the right players can make or break your rank. Form, consistency, and knockout pedigree are now more important than ever, so this selection focuses on the most reliable performers […]
Brock Stewart pitched in his fifth minor league rehab game and third for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. He threw a perfect third inning with a popout and two strikeouts. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts over the weekend said Stewart will pitch on back-to-back days at some point this coming week, and then the Dodgers will […]
When the Rams drafted Max Klare in the second round last week, it was the third time that L.A. made a significant investment in the position over the last 12 months. Between drafting Terrance Ferguson in 2025 and Klare in 2026, the Rams also extended Tyler Higbee and reaffirmed their commitment to the longest-tenured member […]
I don’t want to be too hasty, but I think this Shohei Ohtani kid is going to be pretty good and these Dodgers aren’t bad. It’s always great to catch a legendary player at the tail end of a cooler. He woke up over the weekend and had a very productive couple of games at […]
LOS ANGELES — Dodgers catcher Will Smith did not start either of the final two games of the weekend series against the Chicago Cubs, while dealing with back tightness. “He could play if he needed to, but we felt it was smart to give him an extra day, and I guess put him into the […]
The Los Angeles Rams had a polarizing draft, with many fans and talking heads lamenting the Ty Simpson pick and wondering if the Rams are any closer to a Super Bowl this season than they were before the draft? I stand by stating the Rams improved their roster starting Thursday. I totally get why some […]
Ellie Rodríguez, the Puerto Rican catcher who played nine major league seasons died on Thursday at age 79. Rodríguez only played the one season for the Dodgers, but he held a notable place in local baseball lore. The Dodgers acquired Rodríguez at the end of spring training in 1976 from the Angels for backup outfielder […]
Divisional battles highlighted the week in the National League West. The San Francisco Giants took two of three games against at home the Dodgers, a series in which runs were at a premium, with 10 runs total between the two teams and two shutouts, nobody scoring more than three in any contest. Dalton Rushing was […]

Jayson Tatum and Boston smacked Philadelphia around, 128-96. Finally, Luke Kennard and Los Angeles fell to Houston, 115-96. Ingram had 23 for Toronto, while Barrett finished with 18 points […]
The NHL playoffs are just over a week old and two teams are already gone. In both cases, the conference winners knocked off the last seed/second wild card team, with Carolina sweeping the Ottawa Senators and the Colorado Avalanche sweeping the Los Angeles Kings. Neither of those two are surprising, so thankfully the other series […]
I was watching Game Three of the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets series. My wife — who’s usually more interested in the National Anthem and the arena timeout entertainment — watched two possessions and said, “Do these guys understand this isn’t football?” In other words, someone who pays more attention to what Britt Waters […]
