The Los Angeles Kings are not a big fan of Olympic hockey. In Switzerland's matchup against Canada on Friday, Kings winger Kevin Fiala fell awkwardly with Tom Wilson landing on his leg, and Fiala's since had season-ending leg surgery in Italy. It's the worst news possible for the Kings, as they'll now have a giant hole in their top six once the Olympic break concludes. Three points out of a playoff spot, look for GM Ken Holland to make a significant deal ahead of the March 6 deadline. He...
I’ll admit it. I was mad. In the immediate aftermath of the Chicago Bears’ playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams and the game-losing interception on which DJ Moore seemed to run a poor route, I decided I’d had enough. All the effort questions, the statistical regression, the ducking of the questions about it after […]
It’s Valentine’s Day today, so I hope you will all spend your Saturday thinking about Bobby Valentine, who played for the Dodgers from 1969-72, or maybe 2005 third baseman and shortstop José Valentín, or perhaps Tom Lovett, a pitcher for Brooklyn in the 19th century. Or maybe Sandy Amorós can get you in the mood […]
The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl, and for the Los Angeles Rams it’s “coulda would shoulda”, however anyone saying that the missed call featuring the Rams and New Orleans Saints in their 2018-2019 Championship Game is similar to that Seattle play, I don’t see it that way. My friends, welcome to a Ramblin Random […]

Pre-game coverage starts earlier in the day. John Tesh will perform “Roundball Rock” live at the event, and perhaps we’ve taken this […]
Los Angeles Kings forward Kevin Fiala had surgery on Saturday morning after suffering a serious knee injury in Switzerland's game on Friday against Canada . It's official: his NHL season is over. The incident occured in a collision with Canada's Tom Wilson, in which Fiala landed awkwardly. He had to be stretchered off the ice. Nothing dirty about this collision, freak accident, unfortunate outcome. If someone other than Tom Wilson landed on Fiala's leg, there would be no disc...
The LA Kings are still looking to upgrade and a center is at the top of their needs. Ideally, a center with term would fit nicely in the plans, but even just someone to help with a playoff push and deeper run this season would be of great help as well. According to David Pagnotta, "Charlie Coyle, that's a player that I believe (LA) has some interest in." Coyle is a strong third line center and is able to play as the second line center. He has been doing both his entire career and this season. ...
My grandfather is the one that got me into football. His favorite player was Romário, and he told me once that Romário played in Spain for this club called Barcelona. I was probably six years old. I didn’t think much of it at the time. Fast forward two years to June 2001 in a small […]
Alex Vesia threw a bullpen session as did many other Dodgers pitchers on the first official day of workouts at Camelback Ranch in Arizona. Then the veteran left-hander spoke to reporters en masse for the first time since the death of his newborn daughter Sterling in October. Vesia read a prepared statement for six minutes […]
The rationale for the Cleveland Cavaliers’ decision to trade Darius Garland to the Los Angeles Clippers for James Harden has been dissected ad nauseam. The team believes that they have a small window to win this season. Harden makes them a better team during that time. Garland last played an NBA game on Jan. 14 […]

Bret Bielema added two assistants to his 2026 staff on Friday. Former NFL linebacker Roger Cooper was named the team’s inside linebackers coach. Cooper comes from new defensive coordinator’s Bobby Hauck’s staff at Montana, where he worked since 2022. He played in the NFL from 2005-07 with the Cowboys, 49ers and Chargers. Also joining the […]

It was an ugly situation in Milan today, as late in Canada's 5-1 victory over Switzerland, Swiss (and LA Kings) forward Kevin Fiala was seriously injured when he went down awkwardly in a collision with Tom Wilson. He had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher.

One of the focal points for the Los Angeles Rams this offseason will need to be special teams. This isn’t a unit that can simply be ignored any longer. After ranking 26th in special teams DVOA and losing multiple games due to special teams errors, this isn’t something that can continue to be put on […]
Thanks to Luka Dončić’s best effort to recover from his hamstring strain, it appears likely that he will be representing the Lakers in the All-Star Game on Sunday. Luka dealt with a hamstring strain for more than a week that caused him to miss the last four Lakers games before the All-Star break. While he […]
The NBA season is a marathon, and at some point during the race, exhaustion sets in long before the finish line is within reach. That’s where the Lakers find themselves 54 games into their season. They’ve been dealing with injuries all year long, and Luka Dončić is currently out with a hamstring strain. Record-wise at […]
After 21 seasons in the NBA, Chris Paul has announced his retirement. The 40-year-old Paul was traded on February 4, 2026 from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Toronto Raptors in a three-team deal before the trade deadline. The deal was primarily motivated by finances, with Toronto sending Ochai Agbaji as part of the deal […]
Secondary was a major reason the Los Angeles Rams fell short of the Super Bowl this season. Pro Football Focus believes signing cornerback Jamel Dean would “just make sense” for the Rams in free agency. PFF’s Dalton Wasserman shared his reasoning for Dean to Los Angeles in his Feb. 13 column: “For the season, they […]
Inter Miami leads MLS with a valuation of $1.35 billion; NYCFC now #4 behind LAFC and LA Galaxy after valuation increases to $1.02 billion.
Despite entering the All-Star break injured, Luka Dončić seems to be heading towards a good place regarding his hamstring. The Laker superstar has missed the last four games due to the injury, and currently, his availability for the All-Star game is up in the air. However, the Lakers have remained optimistic that he avoided a […]
Max Muncy is one of the great success stories in Dodgers history. Signed to a minor league contract at age 26 after a pair of underwhelming seasons with the Oakland A’s, Muncy has been a productive member of a team that has won four pennants and three championships during his first eight years in Los […]
A turning point of the season for the Los Angeles Rams was the Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. In that game, the Rams led 30-14 with under 10-minutes to play. As the Rams led 30-22, the Seahawks scored a touchdown and initially failed a two-point conversion after an incomplete pass from Sam Darnold. […]
