Los Angeles Really Wants To Host The 2024 Olympics
It is becoming increasingly clear that hosting an Olympic Games tends to precede financial ruin. Rio de Janeiro just got finished hosting the Summer Games and the city is more or less out of money. Would-be host cities of the 2022 Winter Games scrambled to take their names out of the running and Bos...
Could Mike Trout Exploit A California Labor Law Quirk To Become A Free Agent Early?
There isn’t a team in Major League Baseball that wouldn’t jump at the chance to sign Mike Trout, whose two MVP awards in his first five years of big league service vastly underrepresent how good he really is. And there isn’t a team that could afford to do so that wouldn’t throw hundreds of millions ...
Nick Young's Air-Humping Was Inspired By God And John Travolta
Nick Young, whose greatest feat to date was convincing anyone to call him “Swaggy P,” is currently shooting like a discount Steph. Yesterday against the Grizzlies he set a Lakers record with 36 threes over his last 8 games, going 56 percent from the arc in that span. (For a slightly less arbitrary, ...
D'Angelo Russell Hits Nothing But Net At The Buzzer

Some Things We Noticed About Phil Jackson's Engagement-Ending Tweet
Knicks president Phil Jackson and Lakers president Jeanie Buss, together since 1999 and engaged since 2012, are no longer together. Jackson announced the split in a tweet earlier tonight.

Dodgers' Twitter Account Hacked With Message About Upgrading Your Security
The Dodgers got an early Christmas present today in the form of a Twitter hack. OurMine—the collective that claimed responsibility earlier this week for hacking Netflix and NFL Network’s accounts, among others—appears to be the culprit....
Kenta Maeda Pretends To Be Old Man, Strikes Out Hapless Child
With his first season with the Dodgers under his belt, pitcher Kenta Maeda returned to his native Japan this winter to do charity work in Hiroshima and visit Disneyland Tokyo. Maeda also disguised himself as an old man and clumsily fielded ground balls before he ruthlessly struck out a child on a ga...
Jared Goff Forced To Leave Game After Massive Hit From Richard Sherman
Rams QB Jared Goff’s lackluster night in Seattle ended early after Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman leveled him in the fourth quarter when Goff was breaking for the end zone.

Steaming Mad Luke Walton Curses Out Officials After Ejection
It took fewer than eight minutes for Luke Walton to turn into a profane, suit-wearing Daffy Duck and blow his top tonight at Monty McCutcheon and his officiating crew over a missed call. Walton was infuriated after bit of wrestling from DeMarcus Cousins, and he teed off on McCutcheon for a considera...
St. Louis News Station Mercilessly Roasts Rams Executive
Jeff Fisher got shitcanned today, meaning he will no longer be glowering on the Rams sidelines and mangling Jared Goff’s development. Nobody’s happier about this than St. Louis’ FOX affiliate, who reveled in Fisher’s failures and stunted on Rams COO Kevin Demoff. As FOX2 noted, Demoff’s father is Fi...

The jig is officially up for Jeff Fisher. The Los Angeles Rams have fired their head coach of five seasons today....
Holy Hell, The Rams Are A Disaster
There is so much beauty in this world, if you only stop to appreciate it. I truly believe that when it’s all said and done, we will look back on Jeff Fisher asserting “I’m not fucking going 7-9"—and then getting a secret contract extension—as one of the funnier things that’s ever happened in footbal...

The best thing about the Los Angeles Rams isn’t Aaron Donald and the defensive line, or laughing at Jeff Fisher and his endless quest to perfect mediocrity. Nope. The best thing about the Rams is their punter....
Rich Hill Finally Got Paid
Rich Hill will be returning to L.A. in 2017 after signing a three-year, $48 million contract with the Dodgers on the first day of the Winter Meetings. Amidst a weak free agent class, Hill’s 2.12 ERA in just over 110 innings split between Oakland and L.A. last season made him one of the shiniest piec...
