It is the beginning of the offseason, and the blockbuster signings of the winter are steaming and brewing. But, for now, we wait and wonder what the Dodgers will do this time around after two exorbitant offseason spending sprees. Old friend Kenta Maeda, who spent four seasons with the Dodgers from 2016-19, won’t be on […]
The Steelers are back on Sunday Night Football this week, and they’re hoping for a better result as they take on the Chargers on the road in a big AFC matchup. After defeating the Colts last week, the 5-3 Steelers are hoping to continue to establish their status as a legitimate threat in the conference. […]
Yesterday, I asked about Joshua Karty vs. Harison Mevis as the Los Angeles Rams’ kicker. Today, I am asking why not both? Karty can crush the kickoffs, and Mevis can handle the field goals. Sounds great, right? Yeah, I don’t know, but we’ll see what they do. I was watching this video below, and it […]
Brad Marchand continued his hot start to the season, scoring a pair to help the Florida Panthers topple the Los Angeles Kings by a 5-2 count at Crypto.com Arena. After surrendering five-straight goals in Anaheim, the Cats opened the scoring in La La Land at the 2:06 mark when Jesper Boqvist fed Jeff Petry at the right point and he sent a shot towards the net that Sam Bennett deflected on Anton Forsberg. Forsberg was up to the initial task, but the rebound came back to Bennett and he was a...
NFL.com – 31 (-1) “The Saints had a chance to change the trajectory of Sunday’s game against the Rams, trailing only 20-10 at halftime. But a 10-minute TD drive by L.A. and a New Orleans fumble at midfield turned it into a laugher — the Saints’ fifth loss of the season by double digits. Tyler Shough had some good throws in his […]

[…]
Robert Saleh, Klay Kubiak, Mac Jones preview 49ers-Rams Week 10 matchup“Here’s everything they said.” Kawakami: The long, clear road to the 49ers’ silent deadline (paywall)“(Note: The 49ers will probably get a good pick or two back if and when they trade Mac Jones next offseason, but it would’ve been difficult for the 49ers to factor […]
The Spurs put the Lakers to the test on Wednesday night. San Antonio was leading for most of the game and Los Angeles was rallying late in the fourth quarter. However, it wasn’t Luka Dončić highlight play, a Marcus Smart defensive stop or a Deandre Ayton battle underneath, but a pair of Rui Hachimura plays […]
As a Spurs fan living in Los Angeles, and a Dodger fan too, the last few weeks have been great. The Spurs have had an historically great start, even better than expected or predicted. During the same time, the Dodgers won the World Series — capped by the best Game Seven in the history of […]
Mac Jones or Brock Purdy? That’s the question on most San Francisco 49ers fans’ minds as the team prepares for Sunday’s contest against the Los Angeles Rams. The answer—for at least this weekend—will be made by the 49ers on Friday. Purdy has played only two games and led San Francisco to a 1-1 record. He […]
The Dodgers won a pair of National League Silver Slugger Awards on Thursday, one for star Shohei Ohtani and another as the best team on offense in the circuit. Voting is done by league managers and up to three coaches from each team. It’s the fourth Silver Slugger Award for Ohtani as the top designated […]
Fresh off a World Series victory, a number of Dodgers were back in LA and in attendance for Wednesday’s Lakers-Spurs showdown. And boy did the players know it. While LeBron James was showing love to Roki Sasaki and Luka Dončić and Rui Hachimura were taking pictures pregame, Deandre Ayton was feeling the nerves. “I ain’t […]
The Colorado Rockies have worked out a deal to hire Cleveland Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta, according to ESPN. DePodesta, age 52, originally was with the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, and New York Mets before being hired by the Browns in 2016 to run their analytics program. In July of 2021, DePodesta […]
The Chargers’ second injury report of Week 10 got a little bit bigger from Wednesday as two new names were added in cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (groin) and wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring). As for the players who were already on the report from Wednesday, both Khalil Mack and Keenan Allen returned from veteran days off. […]
Thursday was a busy transactional day for the Dodgers, who exercised 2026 club options for third baseman Max Muncy ($10 million) and relief pitcher Alex Vesia ($3.65 million) but also made several other moves. Tony Gonsolin was designated for assignment, which made room on the full 40-man roster for Muncy’s return. But it was a […]
Teams are calling on Brandt Clarke. League sources say the Los Angeles Kings are listening only long enough to say no. Clarke is tracking as a long-term piece on Jim Hiller’s blue line and the organization’s immediate priority is re-signing Adrian Kempe before shifting focus to Clarke’s next deal. Why the phones keep ringing Right-shot defense with offense is a scarce resource, and Clarke checks every box. He was drafted eighth overall, has already produced in limited minutes, and is...
The Dodgers on Thursday exercised their 2026 club option on Max Muncy, which will pay the third baseman $10 million next season, his ninth in Los Angeles. Having been around on the major league team since 2018, Muncy is the longest-tenured Dodger. The Dodgers’ two previous club option decisions on Muncy were been resolved with […]
The Dodgers on Thursday exercised their 2026 club option for pitcher Alex Vesia, which will pay the left-handed relief pitcher $3.65 million next season. Vesia last January first exchanged salary figures with the Dodgers, but then avoided an arbitration hearing with a two-year contract that paid him $2.25 million in 2025. The initial base salary […]
Despite writing an infinite number of Lakers stories daily, I still have a hunger for more. Some say that’s a bad thing. People who have been doing it much longer than I warn me of burnout and insist I scale back if my goal is sustainability and survival in the brutal industry that is sports […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football in hopes of getting to 6-3 on the season and extending their lead in the AFC North. The Steelers have made a notable release ahead of Week 10, though, letting go of a former third-round pick. The Steelers announced […]
Three of my four losses in Week 9 featured one score games with the Lions, Packers, and Chiefs all losing. Moving into the Week 10 games, 6 of the 14 matchups will be divisional games.
