If the first game of the season is any indication the young and inexperience Culver City football may surprise a lot of people. Their 35-13 win over West Torrance last Friday at Culver City showed that the Centaurs might be ready to battle a school like Loyola that has a long history of athletic excellence. Loyola, the All-Boys school near downtown Los Angeles lost their first game of the season at home 34-7 to Damien so they will be looking to redeem themselves. The Centaurs will face the Cubs...
Taken from the words of the late great Dodger broadcaster, Vin Scully, it's time for Culver City football.

The Sparks season turned into a perfect storm or should we say a destructive tornado and kept getting worse every week. During media day in May the team looked like they were ready to contend for a championship. Everyone in the building was upbeat and they had talent.

As the season went on injuries and strange coaching decisions lead to the firing of Fisher when they had...

When the UCLA Bruins made the surprising decision to leave with USC and head to the Big Ten Conference, a conference located in the Midwest and the Eastern part of the nation, the Bruins had to know that the decision to leave the Pac-12 Conference was not going to be a popular decision. Sending student-athletes on long trips back east and walking away from long-time rivals was not going to go unanswered. Last week, California Governor Gavin Newsom was asked about UCLA's impending conference swit...

Life just came full circle for that 12-year-old girl who worked part-time clearing tables at Tito's Tacos, her grandfather's restaurant, in the summer of 1966. One day, exhausted after several hours of running to the tables to clear them before new customers arrived, she discovered someone had left a tip of 50 cents – twice her hourly wage! – with a note: "For the cutest little waitress." That did it, and the restaurant business has played an active, all-encompassing role in Lynne Dav...

Walter Becker, may he rest in peace, has gone on to jam in the world beyond, so Donald Fagen is carrying the torch for his fallen bandmate and continuing to delight Steely Dan's adoring fans, like he did at the sold-out Hollywood Bowl with the Earth After Hours Tour. His band had great chemistry. Fagen's voice and keyboards were spot-on, while Carolyn Leonhart and the three Danettes did not disappoint as they were featured on the song "Dirty Work." And Becker would be pleased to know how...
