by Paul Teetor                                            The Chargers fired Head Coach Brandon Staley Friday morning – finally. The immediate cause was the 63-21 demolition Thursday night by the Raiders – who lost their previous game by the baseball-like score of 3-0. But there was a lot more going on than just that one, hugely embarrassing loss to a…

by Paul Teetor                                            Will he stay or will he go? That is the biggest question right now in all of Los Angeles sports, and it applies to two of our biggest SoCal superstars: Shohei Ohtani, the 21st Century Babe Ruth, and USC quarterback Caleb Williams, who may or may not be the next Patrick Mahomes. …

by Paul Teetor                                            The comeback kids did it again.  And now they’re in the championship game Saturday night.

Let’s take a look at them one by one. It’s the piss-poor pitching. They’ve got to get better pitching, No, it’s the…

That’s because the worse USC’s defense plays – and it’s pretty bad right now – the more points Williams has to…

By Paul Teetor  Somebody please stop Brandon Staley before he completely destroys the Los Angeles Chargers season — for the third year in a row. The Chargers Head Coach did his level best to cost his team a victory in Sunday’s must-win game against the Minnesota Vikings, but he was saved when the Vikings quarterback…
