ESPN Radio's "All Night" host, Jason Smith (LAist Interview) recently received a special tour of the Staples Center. His guide was by AEG's V.P. of Communications, Michael Roth (AEG owns Staples.) In a wonderfully colorful and humorous piece on ESPN Radio's site, Smith wrote of the unique way the pair emerged into the Lakers' home . "We started out by entering the Nokia Theater, where concerts and events like the ESPYS are held on a routine basis. We walked through an underground tunnel that connects Nokia to Staples, a 30-second walk," Smith said. "Roth told me Seal came to Game 2 of the Rockets-Lakers series, watched the first half from his seats, then at halftime walked through the tunnel to perform his concert at the Nokia." No word on whether Seal was joined by Luke Walton. more ›

Early Tuesday, team owner Jerry Buss was arrested in Carlsbad for suspicion of drunk... more ›

Best known for his work at ESPN (who can forget the SportsCenter ad where he shouts: "Follow me to Freedom!"), Steiner has always been one of the most underrated play-by-play announcers in the business. His play-by-play for ESPN Radio was excellent, but unfortunately for the last three years, he's been brought down by working Yankee games alongside idiotic and annoying John Sterling who can't say the word "the" in fewer than 4 seconds. more ›
