Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
The Colorado Avalanche have a chance to take a firm grasp on their first-round series against the team from the city of fallen angels. Some would argue the Kings have been surprisingly good so far this series, but tonight they hope to walk away with something to show for their efforts. The Avalanche won both […]
The NFL Draft is tonight, and we don’t know exactly what time the Los Angeles Rams will be picking, but if they stick at pick 13, and if every team uses their entire time allotted for each selection, then the Rams would select at 9:44pm ET. Of course, there could be trades, there can be […]
The Oilers missed an opportunity to take control of this first-round series on Wednesday night, falling 6-4 to the Ducks at Rogers Place. The two teams now head to Anaheim tied at one win each. Edmonton opened the scoring midway through the first period when Leon Draisaitl found the back of the net, but the…
Believe it or not, an Indiana football player has actually been selected with the first overall pick of the NFL Draft before. Richard Corbett “Corby” Davis, an Indiana native and fullback for the Hoosiers, was picked first overall by the Cleveland Rams in 1938. Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner and national champion, can still […]
One of the most interesting questions inside league scouting circles is this, “How many true first-round graded players are there are in this class and who are they?” But in the case for the Rams, with little needs on their depth chart, their first round big board might only be 14 players long. Across league […]
Morning, all! Wyatt Langford has a grade 1 flexor strain in his right arm, which marks the fifth IL stint for a soft tissue injury in the first two years of his career. Skip Schumaker says it’s because he “has more muscles than most people.” Langford is hoping to spend no more than the minimum […]
Sean McVay loves his tight ends, the Los Angeles Rams first pick used with McVay at the helm was on a tight end by the name of Gerald Everett. L.A. drafted Terrance Ferguson last year, will McVay be able to pass up on a chance to grab Kenyon Sadiq and add him to their roster? […]
The Oilers pulled off a comeback win in Game 1, which meant the boys had a massive opportunity to put the Ducks on the ropes if they could replicate the result. Being up 2-0 in the series would really put Edmonton in the driver’s seat, but you also knew Anaheim was going to come out…
Trevor Lewis officially announced his retirement from the NHL, closing out a 17-season career that took him from a first-round pick in 2006 to a two-time Stanley Cup champion. The 39-year-old Salt Lake City native posted a message on social media writing on what the journey meant to him. "As a kid growing up in Utah, I could have never imagined this journey," Lewis wrote. "Playing over 1,000 games and winning two Stanley Cups. Those milestones aren't just numbers to me, they represent year...

This season, outside of a couple hiccups, has gotten off to an excellent start for the D-Backs. After a three-game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers to open season, the team has reeled off a 13-7 record and lost consecutive games just once to the major league leading Atlanta Braves. But these last two […]
On Tuesday, we talked about Cainings. The San Francisco Giants introduced Los Angeles Dodgers ace and international superstar Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the concept, with the most common type of Caining in existence. Call it the Standard Caining. In the Standard Caining, a pitcher has a very good game, but their offense doesn’t do enough. Because […]
Take it from the captain himself: “It’s fine.” That should help alleviate the lumps in the throat for Edmonton Oilers fans worldwide after Connor McDavid appeared to have avoided a serious injury after a second-period scare in their 6-4 Game 2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. It happened when McDavid and defenceman Mattias Ekholm got…

After scoring one run on Tuesday, the Dodgers were shut out for the first time this season on Wednesday, with the San Francisco Giants silencing them 3-0.

Heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, we know Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead will have a few surprises up his sleeve for the 13th overall selection. Anticipation is high for LA’s earliest pick since 2016. The Rams are going “all in” again and fans are clamoring for an impact player that can contribute […]
When a team is shorthanded like the Lakers are, the only way to not only survive but thrive is for everyone who is available to step up. The Lakers have gotten that during this postseason from Marcus Smart. One of the ways he’s stepped up is as a vocal leader. As a 12-year veteran and […]

Since Sean McVay took the Los Angeles Rams reins in 2017, the defensive side of the ball has employed a 3-4 base (back in the day we called it a 5-2 Okie), three down linemen and two standup edges in front of two linebackers and four in the secondary. L.A. started to move away from […]
The Los Angeles Rams are on the clock 13 picks from now, but the draft still doesn’t start until the Las Vegas Raiders select Fernando Mendoza on Thursday night. After months of speculation of what the Rams should do, and days of rumors about what the Rams will do, what are fans of the team […]
