Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
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 […]
In Monday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, RJ Barrett and Brandon Ingram helped lead Toronto past Cleveland, 93-89. Mason Plumlee and San Antonio took care of Portland, 114-93. 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 […]
Ejections for Flagrant 2 fouls typically are pretty egregious and easy to understand. By definition, they involve excessive force, which rarely leaves doubt about an ejection. And yet, when Deandre Ayton was ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul on Alperen Şengün during the third quarter of Game 4, which the Lakers were already losing handily […]
The Edmonton Oilers put themselves in a position where a controversial call could put them on the ropes, and that’s exactly what happened Sunday night. Despite holding 2-0 and 3-2 leads, they couldn’t find a way to quell an unrelenting Anaheim Ducks team in Game 4 of their first-round series. But in the end, a…
The Rockets stayed alive in their series against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight with a resounding win in a game the Rockets absolutely had to have, and the Lakers absolutely did not. Sure, the Lakers would no doubt have chosen to finish the Rockets off in four, after the Rockets unlikely, and painful, late collapse […]
There was lots to dislike about the Lakers’ performance in Game 4. The offense looked stuck in mud. There was an alarming amount of turnovers and nearly all of them were live ball, which ruined any chance of a win. That will be discussed in the coming days on this site. But I’d like to […]
It’s now do-or-die time. On Sunday evening, the Edmonton Oilers were looking to tie up their series with the Anaheim Ducks. Unfortunately, the Ducks picked up the 4-3 overtime victory, taking a 3-1 stranglehold of the series. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one. The Oilers needed to come out the…
You can’t fake desperation. The Rockets fought hard in Game 3, but lost and were down 3-0 entering Game 4. With their season on the line, Houston decided they’d rather head back to LA instead of clearing out their lockers as they demolished the Lakers, 115-96. The Rockets got offensive contributions from their top players […]
On the heels of a grueling Game 3 win, the Lakers came out flat and were subsequently routed by the Rockets, 115-96. From the jump, it was pretty clear the Lakers didn’t have the right level of effort and played as such throughout. LA turned the ball over a staggering 23 times with the Rockets […]
It was a long day at Kauffman Stadium, but the Kansas City Royals completed the sweep, overcoming a 6-0 deficit to sweep the Angels, winning it 11-9. Lane Thomas played the hero, with the walk-off three run dinger. Zach Neto flared the first pitch of the game into left for a single. Mike Trout followed […]
With their 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche in Game 4, the Los Angeles Kings have been eliminated from the playoffs. With this, Anze Kopitar's amazing career is officially over, as he is hanging up the skates. Now that Kopitar's time in Los Angeles is over, the Kings should be working very hard to land a top-six center this offseason. Due to this, let's look at three centers the Kings could target during the summer. Robert Thomas, St. Louis Blues When it comes to potential ...
There’s been a shake-up in net ahead of a crucial game for the Edmonton Oilers. Ahead of Game 4 of the Pacific Division Semifinals against the Anaheim Ducks, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch revealed that goaltender Tristan Jarry will be replacing Connor Ingram as the team’s starter. Forward Jason Dickinson is set to return to…
Scott Laughton is a notable pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) heading into the summer. If the veteran center ends up testing the free-agent market instead of re-signing with the Los Angeles Kings, he will generate a lot of interest. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could sign Laughton during the offseason. Ottawa Senators The Senators should be looking to boost their bottom six this offseason, so it would make sense if they made a push for Laughton. He could fit on e...
