LAFC’s Achilles’ heel in its successful 2018 inaugural season was the inability to finish a number of games, notably at home. The ultimate blow was a bitter first round MLS Playoff loss in Banc of California Stadium before a loyal yet stunned fan base. Two matches into the 2019 season the Black and Gold are making amends while still entertaining with their expected flair. A second-half blitzkrieg rolled visiting Portland Timber, 4-1, compounded by a rocking “3252” fan base. Led by forward...

Could it be that another parcel tax is on the way? You are darn tootin. I believe those on the Culver City School Board are very nice, but are over their head in financial soundness. So I am recommending Saundra Davis -- who has all the credentials -- to hit the road running. If you remember, she served eight years and has more honors a...

In late breaking news, the Chargers also signed quarterback Tyrod Taylor to a two-year contract on Wednesday. Taylor started three games with the...
