Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
If the Lakers are going to begin a winning streak during their road trip, they’ll have to do it without two of their starters. Austin Reaves is currently out with a left calf strain. He will be re-evaluated around Friday as the Lakers are using an abundance of caution surrounding his injury. The good news […]
At halftime of the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams, David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs went to the locker room with six carries a piece. Montgomery had turned his touches into 31 yards, a respectable 5.2 yards per carry. Gibbs had only produced 19 rushing yards, 3.2 YPC. For the rest of the […]
Even with deep changes in their squad this summer Wolfsburg remain a very strong team, especially when playing at home. Chelsea Women are well aware of such a challenge even if the squad that once beat them at home in the UEFA Women’s Champions League nearly six years ago is also long gone. As expected […]
In the Jay-Z song “30 Something” the Brooklyn lyricist made entering his 30s sound like a man beginning to reach his prime. That might be true for Sean Carter, who can continue to rap and build up his business empire, but in sports, that ideology doesn’t work as well. The Lakers have the oldest player […]
Although the Bulls have enjoyed an extended break since Sunday, the NBA at large has already been busy this week. Beyond Tuesday’s Emirates NBA Cup Finals — during which the New York Knicks finally won something, beating the San Antonio Spurs — buzz has been building about the hapless Clippers, the struggling Bucks are looking for help, and some All-Stars could return from lingering injuries. Let’s dive in to some more general league chatter. Clippers Punishment Incoming? O...
If you take the six worst games by the Los Angeles Rams against the deep pass this season, they are 3-3. In every other contest, they’re 8-0. Chris Shula’s defense must shut down Sam Darnold for the second time this season to beat the Seahawks on Thursday, otherwise L.A.‘s defensive coordinator could be guaranteed a […]
There is plenty of blame to spread all around for the Lakers blowing a 20-point lead in the fourth and turning their matchup against the Suns into a nailbiter. Marcus Smart is certainly one of the culprits. He had an awful no-look pass attempt to Jarred Vanderbilt that landed right in the hands of Grayson […]
If it wasn’t for the leg of Cameron Dicker, the Chargers may have a few less wins under their belt this season. Dicker was incredibly clutch this past Sunday as he helped the Bolts topple the Chiefs — completing the season sweep — by converting on all three of his field goals and an extra […]

When the Rams face the Seahawks on Thursday for supremacy in the NFC, the most important matchup will be a battle of who wins in the trenches. Does L.A. have a significant advantage there? Perhaps no matchup is better than the Rams offensive line against Seattle’s defensive line. Will Kevin Dotson and company be their […]
NFL action in Week 16 starts off with the most anticipated game of the week. For those who have grown accustomed to Thursday Night Football in December bringing meaningless matchups between the likes of the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars or the like, this week the game features the only two teams in the NFC […]
After weeks on the outside looking in, Jarred Vanderbilt re-entered the Lakers rotation against the Suns. He took full advantage of that opportunity, showing the best version of himself by attacking the glass relentlessly and creating havoc defensively. In nearly every sense, it was the best-case scenario for Vando in his return. He made the […]
The Kansas City Chiefs’ season is over. On Sunday, the team was eliminated from playoff contention with a 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a brutal ACL injury. Both losses sting, and the NFL’s model franchise over the last eight seasons will not be part of the postseason […]

In a tense back-and-forth contest in Philly, Sixer star Joel Embiid nails a jumper to tie the game with just over a minute remaining. In every other stint of his unprecedented 23-season career, this would be LeBron James’ time. Instead, without even a glance at the ball, he jogs up the floor to his position […]
Potentially, no reliever in the entire sport saw a larger dropoff in performance from their 2024 to 2025 production than the veteran Kirby Yates, perfectly encapsulating a trying year for a Dodger bullpen that failed to live up to expectations. Signed to a very lucrative one-year deal following a magnificent campaign with the Texas Rangers, […]
The Seahawks come to a fitting fork in the road on Thursday Night Football this week. This team will see a chance to avenge a close loss against a division rival perfectly dovetail with the opportunity to stake claim to the #1 seed in the NFC against a Super Bowl contender. With such weighty implications […]
The Chargers are 10-4 with three games remaining on the schedule. This week they travel to Dallas to face the 6-7-1 Cowboys who are coming off a loss at home to the Minnesota Vikings.

Meet the Mets Part of Edwin Díaz’s decision to go with the Dodgers was the Mets’ refusal to meet some of his contract demands. And now, after the historic collapse and the losses of Díaz and Alonso, David Stearns is taking the chance to remake the Mets. The Mets are reportedly very interested in free […]
Edwin Díaz was facing the Dodgers as the star closer for the New York Mets during the 2024 NLCS. Just over a year later, and Díaz is the newest face of the Dodgers’ bullpen as their star closer. The race for Díaz ultimately came down to three teams; the Dodgers offered Díaz a three-year deal […]
Is Colby Parkinson going to the be the future of the Los Angeles Rams’ tight end position? Or maybe something similar to what Tyler Higbee had been for the Rams over the course of his career?
