The worst Lakers season in histroy is mercifully over. And now it's time to move forward. LAist will be regularly chyming with our advice throughout the offseason. We've already suggested the Lakers hold on to Kobe Bryant, trade Lamar Odom and Caron Butler if they can (made more difficult by Odom's shoulder surgery), and bring in a new head coach to replace Frank Hamblen. But today we'll focus on the last point, because it...

As you may have heard by now, the NFL is shaking up Monday Night Football. Gone after 35 years is Monday Night Football on ABC. Coming in is MNF on ESPN and NBC is taking over Sunday Night Football. ESPN or no ESPN, Monday Night Football is dead. ESPN may have two revenue streams, allowing it to pay $1.1 billion, but it's going to seem no different from a Thursday night or any other...

LAist felt the Dodgers would be good this season. But now we're really impressed. With an 8-6 come-from-behind win over Milwaukee, the Dodgers now are a Major League-best 11-2! Now, LAist knows not to make too much of a great early season start. But consider that the Dodgers have managed to play fantastic baseball without Eric Gagne, Brad Penny, or Wilson Alvarez yet. To all of those Dodger doubters, who think using new innovations...

It was reported earlier this week that Carson has entered back into the NFL stadium fray. But while some random conversation between a developer and the NFL might make for a nice bit of news drama, there are still a ton of questions to be answered to be answered on the site. Carson is far behind in its environmental impact report, which is troubling considering the site is a 157-acre toxic landfill. These conversations...

How about those Dodgers?! LA's new comeback crew did it again, with a 4-run ninth inning to top the hated Giants 9-8 in the team's home opener. Coming through with the game-winning hit was Milton Bradley, who claims anger management classes have put him in gear. It was also great to see new Giants closer Armando Benitez get lit up in the ninth, perhaps a sign that he'll become the Dodgers new best friend....
