Seattle Mariners defeat LA Angels 3-1. Howie Kendrick’s ground-rule double in the eighth inning brought home Alberto Callaspo for the game’s first run. But Angels’ relievers Kevin Jepsen (BS, L, 2-4) and Francisco Rodriguez could not hold on to their slim lead as the Mariners essentially paper-cutted their way to three runs. Angels’ starter Dan Haren pitched on the edge for seven innings giving up seven hits and two walks but yielded nothing. more ›

Mark Williamson is not a nutjob, although when I saw videos of him parading in Times Square trying to break the “Jets Curse” it’s hard not to think he has a screw loose (or two). more ›

In the preview of the Super Bowl I wrote on Saturday, I predicted the worst. I thought the Arizona Cardinal defense would have no answers to the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, and the Steelers led by their inept offensive line would just bumble through the game.

Angels defeat Twins 9-1. Catcher Mike Napoli and first baseman Casey Kotchman had solo homers to demolish the Twins. Jon Garland pitched eight innings for the Angels giving up six hits and one earned run in the fifth on 95 pitches. 95 pitches! For today the Angels pitching gives a sigh of relief. more ›

The NFL Draft produced the usual drama and surprises. Starting with the fall of Reggie Bush to number two after the announcement by the Houston Texans that they signed North Carolina State defensive end Mario Williams to a 6 year $54 million deal...jeez. more ›

LAist will miss Norm Chow, and his offensive wizardry, but this is not quite the end of the world. While Chow is probably the best offensive coordinator in all of college football, Pete Carroll has been planning for his departure for a while. Great teams lose their assistant coaches all the time, and USC is more than ready to carry on. We're stunned that Chow was able to stick around for 4 years after he turned down the Kentucky Head Coaching job, an assistant position with the Arizona Cardinals, and he was amazingly passed over for the Stanford Head Coaching job. more ›
