Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
The Los Angeles Rams were one quarter away from essentially putting the Seahawks away and locking up the NFC West. Five quarters and one overtime later, the Rams are one loss or one Seahawks win away from being the six-seed. The best the Rams can do is the five-seed. What a whirlwind 10 days its […]

Kirby Yates struggled in his one year with the Dodgers in a season marred by injuries and underperformance. The longtime reliever found a new home for his age-39 season, signing with the Anaheim Angels on a one-year, $5 million contract on December 30. Yates signed a one-year, $13 million contract with the Dodgers in January […]
Lakers head coach JJ Redick promised changes in the rotation before LA played Sacramento and he delivered. With the Lakers down a ball handler due to Austin Reaves’ calf injury, Redick relied more on Nick Smith Jr. and adjusted Luka Dončić‘s minutes. Typically, Luka plays the entire opening quarter, but in the Lakers’ win against […]

MLB Rumors: Kirby Yates and the Anaheim Angels have agreed to terms on a one year, $5 million deal, while fellow righty reliever Hunter Harvey and the Chicago Cubs have agreed to terms on a one year, $6 million deal, with $1.5 million in incentives, per reports. In addition — and potentially related to the […]
The Portland Trail Blazers went 2-2 this week with losses to the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Clippers to start, then wins over the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks to close it out. There were a number of standout performances this week, but rookie guard Caleb Love takes home the Blazer of the Week honor […]
Matthew Stafford had yet another three-turnover performance on Monday night, and it likely cost him the MVP. However, Stafford missing out on MVP honors might be the best-case scenario for him and the Los Angeles Rams in postseason play. Winning MVP has rarely translated to playoff success in the last decade. As evidenced by the […]
Every year, each team has hits and misses in free agency. Some gambles work out, and others don’t. While the Lakers still have some work to do with their roster, one area they look good in is the center position. And that’s because Deandre Ayton has been so good. Ayton has started in all 26 […]
I fully expect the Nolan Arenado rumor mill to start churning at full blast now that it appears the Los Angeles Angels have a clear path for him to potentially join the team, but there are still so many questions. Let’s start with what we know. MLB Trade Rumors just shared word that the Angels […]
Well, if the Japanese sports front pages are to believed – take that figuratively or literally, at least in one case – infielder Kazuma Okamoto has three finalists for his services ahead of his January 4 posting expiration. The front page of Nikkan Sports today has Kazuma Okamoto in an Angels, Padres, and Pirates hat as his posting window deadline looms. https://t.co/z1ZqcKABSd — Yakyu Cosmopolitan (@yakyucosmo) December 30, 2025 Maybe he’ll do a college decision-style video wi...
The San Francisco 49ers have quite a few playoff scenarios that could happen in the final week of the regular season, as they’re vying for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The 49ers will play the Seahawks for the No. 1 seed next weekend at Levi’s Stadium, with the winner getting the coveted first-round […]
It’s a big night in Los Angeles, where the Pistons vs Lakers odds predict an Oscar-worthy game. The Pistons have been the surprise story of the East, but they’re coming off a rare couple of losses and are desperate to find their rhythm again. Meanwhile, the Lakers are riding high after a big win over Sacramento. A big story tonight is LeBron James celebrating his 41st birthday on the court. He’ll be carrying a massive load alongside Luka Doncic, especially with the Lakers missing a co...
The Chargers fell to 11-5 after a 20-16 loss to the Texans at home this past Saturday. After a rough start by the defense (14 points allowed in under the first six minutes), they hunkered down and allowed only six through the remaining 34 minutes of game time. Now, if the game had started at […]
The Rams have to play their starters against the Cardinals in Week 18 and the reason has nothing to do with playoff seeds. It’s because Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford, and the Rams can’t go into the playoffs having lost four of their last six games with handouts to teams like the Panthers, Falcons, and Cardinals. […]
At the end of the season, they don’t ask how; they ask how many, and in the world of Sharks stats, last night was a regulation win over a division rival, even if it was incredibly ugly. The San Jose Sharks were outshot and out-possessed in a 5-4 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. Natural Stat Trick’s Corsi Differential in all situations shows just how lopsided the puck possession was between the Sharks and the Ducks. The shot differential reflected the difference. The Sharks were o...

The Jets are playing at this point for little beyond position in the 2026 NFL Draft. With the Falcons’ win over the Rams on Monday Night Football, the dream of the Jets landing the top pick has officially ended. The Jets currently sit third behind the Raiders and the Giants. At 2-14, the Raiders are […]
The Los Angeles Rams have had a rough two weeks. Within the last 11 days, the Rams lost the NFC’s No. 1 seed, the NFC West, and potentially a top-10 pick. Coming off of a disappointing loss in Week 16 to the Seattle Seahawks, there was a lot of anticipation on how the Rams would […]
With 2026 fast approaching, I looked at several Wisconsin Badgers sports squads and came up with a resolution that makes sense for each of them. (Sorry, “Winning a Natty” is a bit too on the nose for this exercise.) Here’s to a robust early Happy New Year to Badgers everywhere, and to big things in 2026 for all […]
The Chargers nearly dug themselves out of the early hole they dug themselves to beat the Houston Texans on Saturday, but ultimately fell short 20-16. The final point differential also being a direct reflection of the points kicker Cameron Dicker left on the field by missing both a field goal and his first extra point […]
The Los Angeles Rams fell to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football 24-27. LA looked disjointed from the job and was upset by a talented but inconsistent Atlanta team. While the loss is painful to fans—causing us to take a step back and reassess the Rams’ prospects into the playoffs—it does not impact the […]
Will Smith was one of the best offensive catchers during the 2025 regular season, as he was named to his third consecutive NL All-Star team and even registered some MVP votes. Despite suffering a hand injury that wiped out his final month of the regular season, he made his return in the postseason and delivered […]
The Rams’ Monday Night Football matchup with the Falcons unraveled largely behind an uncharacteristically rough night from Matthew Stafford, as Los Angeles fell short under the bright lights. Stafford struggled to find a consistent rhythm, misfiring on throws he normally makes and failing to ignite an offense that never fully got on track. While the […]
The Los Angeles Kings are barely holding down a playoff spot in the West and have only won three of their past 10 games. Fortunately right now, the West is much weaker than the East in terms of the wildcard spots. Regardless, the Kings have to take one last swing at the playoffs with Anze Kopitar and need center depth to do it. Kopitar and Quinton Byfield hold down the top two lines, but Alex Turcotte and Samuel Helenius have been thrust into larger roles even though their ice time is very low...
