Maybe I should start going to work drunk in hopes of getting fired so I can sue for wrongful termination.

It really shouldn't be.

 

[KopitarFAN]

It really shouldn't be.

I agree.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I agree.

Don't get me wrong. I get that it's a disease and all, but disability is just too easily abused. Where's the insentive to get treatment, you know? But I don't wanna get too political.

If this lawsuit does happen, I hope it fails miserably.

Boy, that escalated quickly.

I can't blame them for walking away should they choose to do so.

What the hell is Dean doing? He personifies Kings hockey.

 

[kingsfan28]

I have mixed feelings on this. Yeah, he's a good pitcher, but is he as good as Greinke? Looking at his numbers, I doubt it. He's probably our 3rd best SP behind Kershaw and Ryu. We've improved our depth, but that's about it. Hopefully, we can still sign Cueto, or Maeda.

On another note, the Rams...

Nick Foles is no better than Bradford. That was some ugly football against ARZ. Gurley - 9 rushes, 41 yards. 1 rush was for 34 yards, so basically he had 8 other rushes for 7 yards the rest of the game. I thought the Rams were a running team?

Leafs fan in peace: It is very hard to get Lakers coverage being in the East AND in Canada, but does anyone know about the Lakers pick to Philly,

if they keep it this year, ehat happens next, and how long is it protected for?

If the Lakers get their fourth win before the season ends, Philly gets nothing.

If the Lakers end up 3-79 (entirely possible with this bunch), Philly acquires Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

It's top 3 protected this year and next year, unprotected in 2018.

Just like the #1 Seed for the Miami Heat in the NBA Eastern Conference. Ouch.

Also, that image I am quoting in this post hopefully does NOT happen at the expense of the Green Bay Packers this upcoming Sunday vs the Cowboys, especially when the Vikings are challenging them for the NFC North.

Believe it or not, the Rams game went south when their leading tackler Ogletree was lost for the season. Because until then, although Rams offense had continued to suck, at least their defense kept them in the game, and therefore you could give Gurley 20+ touches per game. That, and the fact that more and more teams seem to be playing 8 dmen in the box in order to stop Gurley. A healthy Ogletree and a QB that can actually pass would be a welcoming site for 2016.

One of those is more likely to happen than the other. The fact that the Rams are a run first teams makes it pretty easy for teams to defend them, especially if they get down by a few touchdowns. They know they don't have a passing game to get them back into the game.

You should listen to 570am in LA. All they ever ever ever ever ever talk about is Lakers basketball

Travis and Kelvin in the morning on 710 have become absolutely unlistenable. I swear they went two weeks repeating the IDENTICAL takes about the Lakers, especially Byron Scott, over and over and over and over. It didn't matter if the Lakers had played the night before or not. I felt like I was living the movie Groundhog Day every morning when my clock radio would come on.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Travis and Kelvin, lol. You should listen to Curt and Fahrenheit.

Max and Marcellus are the worst. They're either talking about some boxing match that happened in 1804 or the Lakers being dark horses. Pure rubbish.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

LOL @ Kellerman talking boxing on radio as if it is still a mainstream sport

 

[ru4reals]

So Cal sports talk radio here in LA is absolutely horrendous! None of them are worth a lick of my time. Man what happened Hacksaw he actually loved talking hockey. I agree Max and marcellus is the worst show on air. Who in there right mind thought these two clowns was good radio needs to be fired.

Having lived in a few places in my day and getting to listen to sports talk in LA, NY, Chicago and Detroit there is no doubt that LA has the worst sports talk out of those cities and it's not even close. The discussion is all Lakers, the personalities through the years have been awful, Mychal Thompson and Vic The Brick belong on the air in some place like Amarillo or Albuquerque, if anywhere. And yeah these two new guys on ESPN, saw their intro video where they were asked what their favorite teams in each sport were and both clowns couldn't even come up with an answer when asked about hockey, the Kings have been the most successful team in the city this decade and the Ducks have been pretty good as well, just comical.

LA is such a one dimensional sports town though, so I guess that is why they do it, apparently the surveys and other things they do to gauge listener interest tells them to talk Lakers Lakers Lakers Lakers and then talk about the Dodgers in the summer months.
