The bye Week was a charm for the Los Angeles Rams. One week ago they were suffering after having lost to a Miami Dolphins team that had no business being in the game, yet managed to beat the Rams, 28-17, while generating only 145 total yards of offense. Los Angeles (5-3) was two games down in the lost column to the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks (6-1) and one game behind the second-place Arizona Cardinals (5-2). Suddenly, as the Rams prepare to host the Seahawks at SoFi Stadium this Sunday...
For the past three years Culver City high school has had one of the best football programs in the state. Now the Centaurs have arrived. They are ranked 24th in the state and 16th in Southern California. "I believed this is the first time we have been ranked that high in the state," said Culver City Athletic Director Tom Salter this week. Usually those type of high rankings are reserved for Division 1 schools, but the Centaurs have reached that elite level with outstanding players and coaches....
1.Pittsburgh Steelers (8-0): The Steelers escaped with a victory over the hapless Dallas Cowboys, but as Mike Tomlin said after the game, "We can't keep having this conversation every week because one of these weeks we'll be doing it with an 'L."

Where's the consistency and dynamic offense that Sean McVay brought to the Los Angeles in his first two years as head coach? That's what Rams fans are asking two seasons later. After a very dispiriting performance in their 28-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins, the Rams fortunately have a Bye Week and two weeks to get their offense and special teams acts together. Feasting on an early weak schedule, the 5-3 Rams now face an uphill battle in the second half of the season that features five games...
1.Pittsburgh Steelers (7-0): The Steelers are undefeated and with the next three games against the Cowboys, Bengals, and Jaguars, it is likely that they will be undefeated for their Thanksgiving Day game at home against the Ravens.

It's a great time to be a Los Angeles sports fan, especially for the last few weeks. The Lakers won the NBA championship a few weeks ago, the Dodgers won the World Series last Tuesday, the LAFC soccer team beat the Galaxy last Sunday, the Chargers won their game last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars at SoFi Stadium and the Rams dominated the Chicago Bears on Monday Night football at SoFi. How sweet it is. Out of all of the victories, the Dodgers ' win maybe the icing on the cake for...
A collective calm swept over the LAFC faithful following Los Angeles Football Club's 2-0 clean sheet victory over rival L.A. Galaxy in El Trafico 10 at Banc of California Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Los Angeles Rams and SoFi Stadium are fast becoming the best of friends. The team put together their most complete game of the season as all three phases contributed in a 24-10 convincing win over the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.

They got stop after stop, big time turnovers, fourth-down stops and turnovers...

Not quite ready for prime time. The Los Angeles Rams are looking to rebound from a lack of execution in their 24-16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers during the past Sunday Night Football clash at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.

Just as LAFC's Inaugural debut in 2018 ignited the city and Major League Soccer, ACFC is expected to have the same effect on the NWSL....
For the past five or six years the Dodgers have put together some very good teams. All they needed was a clutch and energetic player to bring out the best in the rest of their stars. That player is Mookie Betts. One announcer on Fox called Betts a six tool player which means he has an extra gear that no other player in major league baseball has. If you are a complete baseball player then you are a five tool player which means you hit home runs and base hits, you have speed to steal bases, you...
Just when it appeared that LAFC was on the road to recovery, it hit a bump up in Portland, Oregon on Wednesday night against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. After a significant and very satisfying 3-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders FC at Banc of California Stadium last Sunday, October 11, Los Angeles Football Club suffered a 2-1 letdown at Providence Park (home of the Portland Timbers). The Whitecaps are playing their MLS home-games in the United States due to COVID-19 international travel...
The first three games of the National League Championship series between the Dodgers and the Braves has produced a combination of good hitting and good pitching.

The starting pitcher for the Dodgers Wednesday was Julio Urias. The Dodgers next game is...
The Lakers championship season ended six days ago and the buzz has already started. Can they repeat? Will they have the same team? Will Father time catch up to LeBron James? Will free agent Anthony Davis resign with the Lakers? There are still a lot of questions to be answered but one thing is certain. The Lakers weathered the storm and came out on top in one of the most amazing and at the same time unpredictable NBA seasons ever. From the China trip controversies last summer, to the death of...
The buzz stirring the hot autumn air is the Rams defense. In the aftermath of Aaron Donald and Co.'s relentless 31-10 assault on the Washington Football Team last Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams are preparing for another Division-rival clash up the 5 Freeway with the 49ers. With San Francisco still recovering from a 47-13 home-whipping courtesy of the Miami Dolphins, a prime opportunity is looming for the Rams at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara this Sunday. The win over Washington gave the Rams a...

It's no secret that Laker super star LeBron James keeps his body in great condition. At 35 years old he is one of the best conditioned athletes in the world but James has another secret that keeps him on top of the professional basketball world. It's his mind.

"It's a chess match," said James last Tuesday after he scored 28 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and dished out nine assist i...

Los Angeles will also need to adjust their defensive game plan as the WFT, currently riding a three-game losing streak, just switched starting quarterbacks on Wednesday. It was the Rams defense that came through with a last-minute...
It was a very good week on the field in contrasting ways for Los Angeles Football Club. Sunday night's 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake in Sandy, Utah was the team's first road-win of the season.

Sometimes the football gods taketh way. The Los Angeles Rams were on the verge of their greatest comeback in team history... only to be denied by a late flag flying from the corner of the end zone.
