I asked Connor Bedard after the Blackhawks’ 3-1 loss last night about the Kings’ style of play — specifically from the perspective that the Blackhawks have been preaching process thru the lens of playoff approach/intensity. The Kings play a very specific style of game that suits their personnel. Bedard said the Kings play was “boring” — but did it in a way that he was very intentional to say it was “not a dig.” Just that the Kings crowded the blue line when the Hawks wanted to enter the zone a...
The Los Angeles Rams are still the only team to have beaten the Indianapolis Colts, and yes, that Colts could have beaten the Rams, but they didn’t, so it’s a positive benchmark for the Rams. Have the Colts looked like the best team in the NFL? Through eight weeks, yes, how can you say the […]

The Rams, Seahawks, and San Francisco 49ers were in a three-way tie with identical 5-2-0 records going into Week 8. The Cardinals brought up the rear with a 2-5-0 record.

The World Series is fully underway. While the rest of the baseball world focuses on the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays trading blows, fans of the Colorado Rockies are waiting for something else. The Rockies will hopefully hire their new head of baseball operations within the next two weeks. The two known finalists […]
The World Series shifts to Los Angeles today and I have to say: been a pretty good series thus far. Watching the Dodgers get their doors blown off is always fun, but I’m also one of those pitching duel aficionados that actually prefers those types of games to a 12-10 homer fest. I enjoyed Game […]
The Miami Dolphins should have drafted now-Los Angeles Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden II in the 2025 NFL Draft, as his father played for the franchise.
The offday is over and the World Series will be back on tonight, this time from the West Coast with the Dodgers and Blue Jays even, and the series now a best-of-five. Hopefully there’s some good baseball in store. Today on the site, we’re beginning our annual Yankees Roster Report Cards series! I’ll have an […]
There was no LeBron James or Luka Dončić for the Lakers in their contest against the Kings. But so what? They employ Austin Reaves. He alone can walk into Northern California and dismantle the Kings and he did just that on Sunday. Reaves had, without question, his greatest game, scoring 51 points en route to […]
The Portland Trail Blazers were defeated by the Los Angeles Clippers 114-107 to fall to 1-2 on the season. The Blazers dominated the second quarter to take a five-point lead into halftime, but the steady offense of the Clippers allowed them to take back the advantage in the second half. Portland was led by the […]
After a scrappy victory against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, highlighted by Austin Reaves’ huge night, the Lakers will quickly return home, where they will host the Portland Trail Blazers (1-2) on Monday. This is one of five games that L.A. will be playing this week. Start time and TV schedule Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers […]
According to an old Hawaiian proverb, what goes up must come down. Judging by the way the Los Angeles Clippers tripped up the Portland Trail Blazers 114-107 in Los Angeles tonight, my ancient ancestors might have been on to something. Kawhi Leonard led the way for LA with 30 points and 10 rebounds while the […]
Austin Reaves had a career night once again, scoring 51 points to lead the Lakers, without Luka Dončić or LeBron James, to a big road win over the Kings, 127-120. Reaves’ 51 points came on just 12-22 shooting as he went 21-22 at the free throw line. He flirted with a triple-double as well, tallying […]
LOS ANGELES — The 2025 World Series is now a best-of-five series, with the next three games at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, beginning with Game 3 on Monday night. Tyler Glasnow makes the start for the Dodgers, having allowed one run over 13 1/3 innings in his three postseason starts to date — one […]
The San Francisco 49ers entered Week 8 as the top team in the NFC West, but their loss to the Houston Texans dropped them into wild card position and barely hanging on to that. It wasn’t that long ago that San Francisco was the top team in the NFC. The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles […]
Without even setting foot on the field in Week 8, the Seattle Seahawks have moved into first place in the NFC West. As the end of October quickly approached, a three-team logjam formed atop the NFC West. The Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams all entered Week 8 at 5-2, though the Niners […]

The Blackhawks might have been able to get away with some little miscues here and there against their last few opponents, but a good, veteran team like LA isn’t going to let them off the hook. They didn’t tonight. And it cost the Blackhawks a game with a few bad shifts early in the second period.
This game started pretty well, though. There were really very few things to complain about after 20 minutes. The Blackhawks out-shot the Kings 11-6, had a 17-10 shot attempt advantage at 5-on-5, ...
The Los Angeles Rams (5-2) host the New Orleans Saints (1-7) in Week 9 of the NFL season with the opening odds according to FanDuel favoring the Rams by a -13.5 margin. The Saints could be a smart bet to cover with +13.5, but there is a reason the line is set as high as […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are 1-0 in the Master Splitter era, and after beating an aging and tired Golden State Warriors team Friday, the squad now faces an aging and not-quite-as-tired Los Angeles Clippers squad. Over/under on number of trees planted tonight?… …and THAT’S what we call a REAL two-for-one! Here’s how to watch the […]
The Lakers have a very devoted fan base. It’s why they’re the best fans in the NBA. It’s why a site like this can even exist. But for all the positives, there are negatives that come along with it. The downside of having such a massive fan base is that even normal moments from fans […]
The Lakers’ big three features LeBron James, Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves. These are the team’s top scorers, ball-handlers and playmakers. Everyone else has to fit into some kind of role to help this trio succeed. Early on, Deandre Ayton is figuring out how to do that. For Ayton, as the LA’s starting center, he […]
Hopefully Lakers fans enjoyed Friday’s showing from Luka Dončić as they won’t be seeing it again for a while. After his 49-point game against the Wolves, Luka has been ruled out for at least a week with both a left finger sprain and lower left leg contusion. Luka injured his finger during the game against […]
This happened over time, but a rarely think about complete games anymore as a possibility, due to their rarity. There were only 29 of them during the MLB regular season this year, roughly one every 168 games or so, a little less than one per team. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has pitched two of them in a […]
