Kansas City Chiefs (2-0): For anyone who thought Patrick Mahomes might regress in 2019, he threw for 278 yards and four touchdowns against the Raiders. In the 2nd quarter. Without Tyreek Hill.

UCLA and USC football teams go into their respective games on Saturday with a lot of questions marks. The main questions are can USC win with a backup quarterback and can UCLA get their first win after looking like the same team that won only three games last year? UCLA will face San Diego State at the Rose Bowl on Saturday at 1:15 p.m. and USC will open their Pac-12 season when they play Stanford at 7:30 p.m. at the United Airlines Field at the Memorial Coliseum.

LAFC is preparing to host Minnesota United FC this Sunday night at Banc of California Stadium with a lingering foul taste in its mouth. Despite rallying to a 3-3 draw in El Trafico 5, the Los Angeles Football Club again failed to register their first-ever win over crosstown rival L.A. Galaxy in last Sunday night's clash at the Banc. "Two parts to this thing," said LAFC head coach Bob Bradley following ET5. "Obviously, there's just what's hanging over our heads which is beating the Galaxy. When y...

Rams head coach Sean McVay on Tuesday. The Los Angeles Rams play one final preseason game this week at the Houston Texans before preparing for the 2019 NFL regular season opener. The Rams beat the Denver Broncos, 10-6, on the new United Airlines Field at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum last Saturday for...
College football started this week for UCLA and USC and everyone is waiting to see if both teams will be competitive. Last year was a down year for both teams but this year we will have to wait and see. Both teams have tough schedules in 2019 and both coaches are on the hot seat. UCLA opened their season last Thursday against a very good Cincinnati team and USC will face a solid Fresno State team on Saturday at the newly renovated United Airlines Field at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at...
Records are starting to fall by the wayside, yet Los Angeles Football Club has two important home games at Banc of California Stadium this week. Despite being the earliest MLS club to clinch a playoff spot in league history with a 2-0 clean sheet victory at Real Salt Lake last Saturday, LAFC will be tested by Western Conference challengers, San Jose Earthquakes and L.A. Galaxy. The Earthquakes visit Banc of California Stadium on Wednesday, August 21 and the Galaxy will travel crosstown from Cars...
On Saturday the Chargers and the Rams will play home football games at the same time. The Rams game starts at 6 p.m. at the Coliseum and the Chargers game will kick off at 7 p.m. in Carson. It will be the third preseason game for both teams. Both teams are 0-2 in the preseason. Win and loss records are meaningless in the preseason especially when a team does not player their best players. The Rams and Chargers are two teams that have not played their starters in the preseason which is a good thi...

The Los Angeles Rams will play their first and only 2019 preseason home game in Los Angeles this Saturday, August 24. They host the Denver Broncos at the new United Airlines Field inside the just-renovated Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. And the changes are impressive.

"We started this project five years ago with several goals in mind," began Steve Lopes, University of Southern California's COO and Senior...
It's ten games and counting before LAFC can finally claim the 2019 MLS Supporters' Shield. They're also threatening the MLS record of 71 total points set just last season by the New York Red Bulls, a 4-2 victim at Banc of California Stadium this past Sunday. In only its second season, LAFC's projected 78 points is on pace to break the record with room to spare. Yet, the Black and Gold are far from standing pat. This past week they revisited South America to sign two highly-regarded young...

Last season, Los Angeles Football Club played to a 1-1 draw against a mediocre New England Revolution team at Banc of California Stadium in the first-ever meeting between the two MLS clubs. LAFC squandered a 1-0 lead by allowing the Revs to tie the match late in the second half. The failure to hold onto leads ultimately was the Black and Gold's Achilles' heel in their inaugural season. This Saturday LAFC will take on the Revolution at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts this Saturday,...
The Culver City high school girls' varsity volleyball team will start preseason play at the end of this month. The Centaurs graduated 11 players from last years' team so they are going to have to find some new team leaders and their younger players will have to step.

LAFC may own the league in 2019 but the L.A. Galaxy own the city. LAFC has little time to lick its wounds following last Friday's 3-2 discouraging intercity grudge loss to Zlatan Ibrahimovic (and the L.A. Galaxy) at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson. The Black and Gold will host current MLS Cup Champion, Atlanta United FC, this Friday, July 26, 7:30 p.m. at Banc of California Stadium. Atlanta United arrives with a modest two-game win streak and three wins, one loss and one draw in its last...
