Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
Good morning, Chargers fans! You know what to do! And now for today’s links. Chargers News: The Chargers are the AFC’s No. 5 seed in the latest playoff picture (Chargers.com) Five takeaways after Justin Herbert underwent successful hand surgery (Chargers.com) The good, the bad, and the ugly from the win over the Raiders (Chargers Wire) […]
As improbable as it may seem, the San Francisco 49ers have an outside chance at obtaining the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. There’s roughly a 26 percent chance of the Niners winning the NFC West. One more slip-up from the Rams, and we can begin to have a serious conversation about both, so […]
After the expectation that rookie running back Omarion Hampton would make his return to the lineup following the Week 12 bye, he was a late scratch at the end of the week following a week full of being limited in practice. While fans may have been bummed out about that decision, the Chargers did not […]
When the Dodgers landed lefty Tanner Scott, they assumed that he would take over in full force as the team’s closer. Instead, the former All-Star blew 10 saves, put up an ERA of 4.74 and produced negative value in terms of both rWAR and fWAR. There’s still $40.25 million that Scott will receive over the […]
The Los Angeles Rams were looked at as perhaps the best team in the NFL while they were on their six-game win streak, but after losing to the Carolina Panthers this past Sunday, that’s not likely to the be case as L.A. should fall in many power rankings, and in the mind’s eye of those […]
Devin Williams’ contract with the Mets was still the buzz yesterday, as there weren’t many other notable moves unless you still believe in Alek Manoah (who signed with the Angels) or are a big believer in Cody Ponce’s KBO revival (he went to the Blue Jays). The Ponce one should be interesting though, as he […]
Watching Dillon Brooks prancing around Crypto.com Arena as he torched the Lakers wasn’t the best way to end LA’s homestand. The loss was bad, and it felt even worse considering it was the first time the Lakers played a team with a winning record since their victory against the Bucks back on Nov. 15. Despite […]
Things didn’t go well for the Lakers against the Suns. Not only did they lose in blowout fashion, but they played even worse than the 125-108 score indicates. Los Angeles got run out of the gym late in the second quarter and they never recovered. Luka Dončić, who has been playing at an All-NBA level […]
For the first time in his career, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is a front-runner for the NFL’s MVP award. Throughout his career, Stafford has just one top-10 vote for MVP, and that came in 2023. Stafford has been unbelievable for most of this season. He has 32 touchdowns to four interceptions and has […]
Between firing Chip Kelly and then the clear finger-pointing through the media, last week was certainly an eventful one for the lowly Las Vegas Raiders. On top of that, despite moving on from the offensive coordinator, the Raiders’ offense still struggled to score points and move the ball against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. […]
For the first time in two months, the Los Angeles Rams looked vulnerable against the Carolina Panthers. After winning by an average of 18.5 points over the last six weeks, the Rams had a clunker in Week 13. The Panthers had scored fewer than 17 points in five of their last six games. Against teams […]
Maybe your first instinct when reading the title of this post will be the same as mine when first contemplating the idea of writing about the subject. Jo Adell is a young player who the Angels surely will want to keep hold of for their long-term—but, well, it isn’t quite so simple. Adell will be […]
Emmanuel Forbes played a significant role in the Los Angeles Rams’ Week 13 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He allowed two long touchdowns each on fourth down, including the game-winning score from Bryce Young to Tetairoa McMillan. But Forbes is being maligned maybe too much. A rewatch of the final touchdown of the game shows […]
When the Miami Heat acquired Norman Powell in a three-team trade this past summer, it was pretty clear instantly that Pat Riley pulled off another fleece acquisition. And that notion has only intensified as Powell is in the midst of another career year in South Beach. He is the Heat’s leading scorer, and has provided […] The post Clippers were shown firsthand just how lopsided their Norman Powell trade really was appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Among the news items during Thanksgiving week was the allocation of the annual $50 million bonus pool for players not yet eligible for salary arbitration. Outfielder Andy Pages and pitcher Emmet Sheehan were the two Dodgers to receive bonuses under the system, which began in 2022 with the current collective bargaining agreement. All 30 MLB […]
The Mavericks were 2-1 this past week and moved to 12th place in the West. They split their trip to Los Angeles by losing to the Lakers (129-119) and beating the Clippers (114-110) before beating the Nuggets in Denver Monday night (131-121). Cooper Flagg led the team in scoring over the last week with 24 […]
Sean McVay’s coaching tree, the technically accurate one and not the “let’s argue over semantics” version, currently stands at 5 teams, three of which are 4-8. Will this be the first time during McVay’s tenure as a head coach that the tree gets significantly pruned? More relevant to McVay and the Rams right now, if […]
After spending the better part of the last three weeks in Los Angeles, the Lakers are set for a short but intense road trip out east. Not only is the team making the flight across the country, but they’ll be playing three games in four nights, starting with a back-to-back in Toronto and Boston before […]
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson, along with his old Mavericks running mate and current Los Angeles Lakers leader Luka Doncic, has been named NBA Player of the Week for Week 6 of the 2025–26 season, putting a strong finish on November for the Knicks. Brunson put together a big-time stretch, averaging 28.8 points […]

The Chargers beat the Raiders 31-14 this week to improve to 8-4. Las Vegas is a bad team and the Chargers did what any decent team should have done, which was to dominate them and win by multiple scores. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like their latest win changed the minds of the media all that […]
Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie class fared in a 31-14 road loss at the Los Angeles Chargers and ahead to Week 14’s home game against the Denver Broncos. Ashton Jeanty: The No. 6 overall draft pick played a season high 95 percent of the snaps in Greg Olson’s first […]
Landon Knack’s second major league season saw rougher terrain as he slid further down the Dodgers depth chart, and regression on the mound. Knack had four stints in the majors in 2025, including making the opening day roster for the first two games against the Cubs in Tokyo. He pitched two scoreless innings of relief […]
The Seattle Seahawks are in strong position to make the playoffs. At 9-3 and tied for the best record in the NFC, it’d take one heck of a collapse over the final five weeks for Seattle to not return to the postseason for the first time since 2022. While the main focus is on winning […]
The St. Louis Blues and Los Angeles Kings have started December by swapping depth forwards. The Blues traded Nikita Alexandrov to the Kings, while LA sent Akil Thomas back to St. Louis. The Blues have acquired forward Akil Thomas from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Nikita Alexandrov. #stlblues — St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) December 2, 2025 Alexandrov is 25 years old and was originally drafted by the Blues in 2019 at the end of the second round (62nd).
