Gail Goodrich is the greatest lefthanded guard the Lakers have ever had. He played on two NCAA championship teams at UCLA, then teamed in the backcourt with Jerry West on two Laker NBA championship teams including the 1972 squad that set the still-standing record of 33 consecutive wins. In 14 NBA seasons Goodrich averaged 18.6 points per game. Although he was the shooting guard and West handled the ball more often Goodrich managed to average 4.7 assists per game throughout his career. I bring...
Back to square one. For the second consecutive game the Los Angeles Rams lost a game they could have and should have won. This time the Detroit Lions rallied at home to beat the Rams, 31-28, by kicking a field goal with 1:29 remaining and intercepting a Case Keenum pass intended for Lance Kendricks to seal the victory. And for the second consecutive game the L.A. defense failed to stop the eventual game-winning drive in the fourth quarter after having won the previous three games in the same...

We have all heard about the bad water in Flint, Michigan. Many have read about the mess with water in Compton, but in Atlanta, Georgia the Atlanta Journal - Constitution filed a request through Georgia’s open records law, and guess what came up: More than half of Atlanta’s public school buildings had elevated levels of lead in drinking water, with some as high as 15 times the federal limits. What is really despicable is I also put in a public document request and I hope you are sitting dow...

Three steps forward and one step back. The Los Angeles Rams stubbed their toe as several key turnovers and failed offensive executions cost them the game against the Buffalo Bills, 30-19 last Sunday. It was the Rams' first defeat at home this season to run their record to 3-2 and 1/2 game behind Seattle in the NFC West Division. Los Angeles gambled and lost on a fake punt deep in their own territory late in the fourth quarter on a very hot October afternoon before 83,679 announced fans at the...

There has been little attention in movies paid to the issue of sex trafficking, particularly the "human" aspect of it; 2007 gave us Kevin Kline in "Trade"; in 2008 we saw "Taken" where a father saves his daughter after a kidnapping; a 2005 mini-series with Donald Sutherland and Mira Sorvino was more of a procedural. With the exception of "Trade", the stories have been clinical with little said about redemption, salvation or turning lives around. All that changes with PRICELESS thanks to its...
By Mitch Chortkoff Sports Editor Walter Alston's 20 years as the Dodger manager and Tommy Lasorda's 20 years brought a lot of joy to Los Angeles fans. Now Dave Roberts has done something to bring more joy. Roberts' brilliant strategy in the seventh game of the 2016 first round playoff series against the Washington Nationals allowed the Dodgers to reach the next round. Of course the Chicago Cubs will be heavily favored to eliminate the Dodgers and deprive them of their first World Series appearan...
