Hooray! USC won! Now is that so hard to say?
I just don't get some sportswriters. What do they want? I pick up Sunday morning's newspaper expecting to read about our guys' hard-fought victory, only to find a disappointing tale about what the winners didn't accomplish. Where's the gushing? Where's...

USC's lack of discipline is worrisome flaw as penalties mount

Broncos go nuts on Bolts in 35-24 comeback victory
SAN DIEGO — That huge gush heard just shortly before 9 Monday night was the massive deflation of the San Diego Chargers' NFL season. Air left the Chargers' balloon like a jet stream. Whoosh. Bye-bye, Chargers. The team owned and operated by the...

Lane Kiffin is so promising — and so immature
I begin by calling the USC athletic department, and while on hold I'm getting Abbott and Costello doing "Who's on first?" How well I remember the days of Garrett and Hackett. Getting as far as "what is on second," I'm almost afraid to ask "Where's Pat...

Would Prop. 30 really drive millionaires out of California?
A counterpart to the biblical adage that the poor will always be with us is the notion that the rich will always be one tax hike away from leaving us. That's the foundation stone, after all, of the argument against raising taxes on "job creators" and...

Using junk science to promote Proposition 37

David Stern, iron-fisted NBA commissioner, to step down
If David Stern ruled the NBA with an iron fist, he cushioned the blows by transforming a league that couldn't get its championship final live on national TV in the early 1980s into a powerful marketing machine that made players and owners incredibly...Tags: Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Chris Paul, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies

Newton: Porn, safe sex and Measure B
At first glance, the county's Measure B, which would require the use of condoms in adult films shot in Los Angeles, seems fairly hard to rebut: Other than a few self-interested pornographers, who could be against mandating safe-sex practices? And yet,...

Prop. 33 is billionaire's attempt to manipulate public policy
George Joseph must think that the old saw defining insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result doesn't apply to him — or at least that it's amenable to tweaking. Joseph, the billionaire nonagenarian founder and...

Doug O'Neill earns respect, even if some won't give it to him
I like the guy, and that's before I hear about Armando Gonzalez and talk to Armando's brother, Ralph.

Lakers games become can't-watch-TV

Nothing 'masterful' about UCLA's victory over Utah
I had such expectations, the cast sounding terrific, the early Oscar buzz. Then I went and paid to see the worst movie ever made — dumbfounding how anyone ever agreed to make it — an idiotic, stupefying, colossal waste of time. I sat there...
