The Chargers had one pick each in the second and third rounds of this year’s draft. By the end of day two, Joe Hortiz and Co. had selected Florida center Jake Slaughter with their second-round pick (No.63) while trading completely out of the third round. With a pair of trade backs, the Chargers gained four […]
Under a new regime, the Tennessee Titans are looking to make their mark in the 2026 NFL Draft, where entered with nine picks, including at No. 4 overall. One of the more interesting trades that occurred for Tennessee was actually getting their pick back when sending out cornerback Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams […]
Day 1 and 2 of the NFL Draft are in the books and we are on to Day 3. Are you ready? Are the Los Angeles Rams ready? They’ve got a few picks left, but so far, they haven’t made a trade up or down, and that’s somewhat surprising given how the Rams and Les […]
The Los Angeles Rams have been known to be one of the more trade-heavy teams in the NFL, as they’re consistently looking to add and use assets in their arsenal. One of the more interesting trades they had in recent years, though, was sending linebacker Ernest Jones to the Tennessee Titans back in August of […]
After a sloppy, messy loss on Wednesday night, the Edmonton Oilers made their way down to Anaheim for their first of two games at the Honda Center. And with the Ducks feeling pretty good about the way things went for them two nights before, it was going to take a much better effort from the…
There’s something special about this Cubs team. Do you feel it? Utterly dominated by Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan for six innings, trailing 4-0 heading to the seventh, the Cubs cut that to 4-3 thanks in part to a triple (!) by Dansby Swanson. Then an Alex Bregman homer tied the game in the eighth, and […]
The Edmonton Oilers have some issues right now, and if they can't get by the Anaheim Ducks in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, expect head coach Kris Knoblauch to be fired. Frank Seravalli: Re Kris Knoblauch/Oilers: If they lose in the first round or flame out early I think he absolutely is in the crosshairs - Big Show (4/17) The Oilers went down 2-1 in the series on Friday night, after a 7-4 drumming by the Ducks. Conor Ingram let in six goals and there's no doubt Edmonton is havi...
The Houston Rockets fell into a practically insurmountable hole against the Los Angeles Lakers, falling 112-108 in overtime to a team still missing two of its three best players. The Rockets were also without Kevin Durant, but they had a chance to win the game, but fell apart down the stretch and into overtime, with […]
Dodgers broadcaster Rick Monday will be honored at the National Baseball Hall of Fame this summer during induction weekend, part of the 50th anniversary celebration of him stopping an American flag from getting burned on the field at Dodger Stadium on April 25, 1976. It’s been quite a baseball life for Monday, who was the […]
What’s a night of playoff basketball without the Brotherhood? It doesn’t happen very often, and it didn’t happen Friday night. Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers, 108-100. Luke Kennard helped JJ Redick’s Los Angeles Lakers beat the Houston Rockets, 112-108. Finally, Mason Plumlee and the San Antonio Spurs knocked off the […]
Since splitting that strange four-game set with the Angels in the Mike Trout/Aaron Judge Show, the Yankees haven’t lost. They swept the Royals, shipped up to Boston and did the same to the Red Sox, and are now coming off a decisive win in Houston last night, their seventh in a row. The only bad […]
After defending their home court in the first two games, the Lakers headed to Houston knowing they would receive the Rockets’ best punch in Game 3. And that they did. With the news they would be without Kevin Durant for the second time in the series, the Rockets played every bit like a team whose […]
The Chicago Cubs (17-9) came into the series against the Dodgers (17-9) red hot having won nine straight games, their longest winning streak in 10 years. The Cubs couldn’t touch Emmet Sheehan in the series opener Friday at Dodger Stadium, but as soon as he came out Chicago pounced on the L.A. bullpen and scored […]
The Edmonton Oilers are down, but not out. On Friday evening, the Oilers fell 7-4 to the Anaheim Ducks, giving the Ducks a 2-1 series lead with home-ice advantage. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one. For the third consecutive game in this series, the Oilers opened the scoring. With about…
The most notable act by the San Francisco 49ers on the first night of the NFL Draft was general manager John Lynch cracking a smile at the Los Angeles Rams’ selection of quarterback Ty Simpson. The 49ers traded out of the first round. San Francisco opened day two of the draft with the first pick. […]
I had a number of errands I needed to get done tonight, so my ability to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs was interrupted by life. As much as I try to prevent this from happening, life occasionally gets in the way and needs to be dealt with accordingly. Being that I was running around tonight, I put the car stereo to good use by tuning into Game Two of the AHL Calder Cup series between the Milwaukee Admirals and the Manitoba Moose, but I also used Bluetooth to listen to Game One of the ECHL Kell...
A couple of weeks ago, the thought of the Lakers being lucky injury-wise was laughable. However, now that they’ve played three playoff games, LA is trending in a positive direction with its injuries, and other Western Conference teams are in trouble. The Denver Nuggets are trailing 2-1 in their series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and […]
Sean McVay has hunted an offensive play maker early in the draft for years. In 2023 the Los Angeles Rams contemplated moving up for pass catching tight end Dalton Kincaid before he was ultimately taken by the Buffalo Bills. A year later McVay pressed for a trade up for Brock Bowers, one of the best […]
A miracle close to regulation saw the Lakers force overtime before controlling the extra session to steal Game 3, 112-108, and take a commanding series lead. Houston trailed by as many as 15 in the first half but was the aggressor for the entire second half. Up six with just under 30 seconds left, the […]
With the 93rd pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Rams selected Missouri tackle Keagen Trost. The Rams announced Trost as a tackle, but others see him as a guard. It’s something that the team must address in either case because of how many free agent offensive linemen they have in 2027: Steve Avila, Kevin […]
The Chargers made a second trade on day two of the NFL draft and their second of the day completely takes them out of the third round, meaning their done with only one pick made on Friday (Florida center Jake Slaughter). Los Angeles will now enter the final day of the draft with seven total […]
It wasn’t the stars, but the supporting cast that stole the show as the Royals knocked off the Angels 6-3 on Friday night. The 5-9 hitters in the lineup went a combined 7-for-18 and drove in all six runs, as the Royals scored six runs for the third consecutive game. Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi mowed […]
The Dodgers (17-8) return home to take on the red hot Chicago Cubs (16-9) for a three game series starting Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Emmet Sheehan (2-0, 5.58 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) makes his fifth start for the Dodgers. Jameson Taillon (1-1, 3.97 ERA, 1.28 WHIP toes the rubber for the Cubs. Lineups Friday game […]
With the 55th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers select center Jake Slaughter out of the University of Florida. Slaughter is a 6’5, 303-pound interior blocker who was named a two-time All-American for the Gators. In 2024, Slaughter was named a First-Team member after starting all 13 games. This past season, […]
With the 61st pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams selected tight end Max Klare out of Ohio State. This now marks the second time in as many years that the Rams have drafted a second round tight end having just selected Terrance Ferguson out of Oregon in 2025. Between Klare, Ferguson, […]
