Although the Raiders lead the overall series 55-39-2, these days the Chargers own the silver and black like crazy owns Britney. The Bolts have won eight straight games over Oakland (including four up by the Bay), equaling a franchise record for consecutive wins against the same team. So with San Diego visiting the Raiders on […]

In the end, the Bruins ended up with a guy they probably could have had a […]

I know I shouldn’t do this.
I shouldn’t tell you that the first Laker game I ever covered was Wilt Chamberlain’s last. It sorta gives my age away.

Anaheim 2, Edmonton 1: So much Duck-related attention has been focused on Scott Niedermeyer coming out of retirement, it’s easy to overlook that the defending Cup holders are 4-1 since acquiring Doug Weight. Maybe it’s because the Anaheim newbie hadn’t scored a goal yet, much less a […]

I swear to you that I am not waiting for the Lakers to lose before deciding to post a recap on the game. I’m just a huge Laker jinx. I had planned on recapping Thursday night’s Lakers-Cavs game for a few reasons. First, it was on national television, which means I could see it […]

Cleveland 94, Lakers 90: The Battle of the NBA Superstars went to LeBron James and the Cavs.  L.A. went without a field goal over the final four minutes, allowing a tidy little fourth quarter lead to disappear.  LBJ blanketed a groin-hobbled Kobe down the stretch, and 24 […]
