The decade of the 1970s saw the sport grow by leaps and bounds, thanks mostly to exciting players who quickly became icons. NFL players such as Joe Namath, Roger Staubach, O.J.Simpson, Terry Bradshaw, “Mean” Joe Greene and Fran Tarkenton are still considered household names today.During the 1970s, the growing millions of pro football fans also witnessed numerous exciting games and plays, many of which are still remembered and discussed today. Plays like Franco Harris' Immaculate Reception in 1972, or the original Hail Mary Pass in 1975, or the Sea of Hands game in 1974, or the Ghost to the Post game in 1977…so many memories, and all during one of the greatest decades in NFL history.Joe Zagorski's Pro Football in the 1970s podcast explores all the great memories that occurred in the NFL during that memorable decade. Each segment will tackle a specific event or player in the NFL during the 1970s. Each episode will also include a trivia question from some aspect of that particular episode's theme or topic. Joe Zagorski's Pro Football in the 1970s podcast takes listeners back to a time of old school pro football, where the game might have been simpler in the form of strategy, but it was also more pure and more robust than it had ever been before.

Week 8 has arrived and Y-Option has you covered with college football through the lens of the West Coast along with special guest Max Browne.To kick things off, we think Saturday has the best individual matchup of the season with Travis Hunter of Colorado facing Tetairoa McMillan of Arizona. Last year, I was able to call that game and it came down to the final snap and this year, all 32 NFL teams will be glued to every snap when the nation's top DB lines up opposite the nation's top WR. I'm off to the east coast for UCLA at Rutgers on FS1, as both teams need a win. The rest of the slate is full of sneaky good games, trap games or must-win games. Action with the West Coast schools kicks off Friday night with Oregon at Purdue in a classic trap game while the action wraps up Saturday with UNLV at Oregon State and an old school Mountain West Conference game with Utah and TCU. Jim Thornby and I dive into the X's and O's of each game, the narrative around Dan Lanning's “loophole” shared around social media and Cam Rising's impact at Utah.Thanks to our founding partner 76, we also had Max Browne, the lead analyst at The CW, join the podcast to share his insight on the ACC and Pac-12 and explain how a fun social media post turned into the biggest interview of his career with the Governor of Minnesota & possible U.S. Vice President Tim Walz at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Max shared insights into how he even got the interview, as well details on their conversation. We also dove into the concept around being a backup QB, how to navigate the world of social media in that role and the reality of being at your best when you do step onto the field.As always, be sure to follow @YOptionfb all weekend long as our social media is dialed in!Thanks for the love and support, off to Piscataway!YogiThis episode is executive produced by Jim Thornby and edited by Victor Ren.This podcast is a Best Coast Media production.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian insider Joel Haas is joined by the Daily Collegian's Lyle Alenstein to recap Penn State's nervewracking 33-30 overtime win Saturday against USC at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. What led to Tyler Warren's historic day (17 catches for 222 yards) and is he among the best tight ends in college football? How did Drew Allar perform late in the game when the pressure was at its highest? Did Ryan Barker's game-winning field goal shore up his spot as the Nittany Lions' kicker? And why did the defense struggle in the first half against the Trojans? Our duo tackles those topics and more.

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian insider Joe Haas preview the fourth-ranked Nittany Lions' crucial road game against the USC Trojans on Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Are slow starts a concern for OC Andy Kotelnicki's unit as it enters a brand new Big Ten environment? Or is he using first halves to set up big plays, much like the 2016 conference championship team under Joe Moorhead did? How are Penn State receivers including Trey Wallace, Liam Clifford, Julian Fleming and Omari Evans performing relative to expectations. Are Penn State cornerbacks Jalen Kimber and A.J. Harris ready for the challenge of facing USC's high-flying passing game led by Miller Moss, Zachariah Branch and Jakobi Lane? And how important is Nick Singleton's potential return to teammate Kaytron Allen and the running game? Our duo tackles those topics as well as James Franklin's thoughts on the logistics of traveling to Los Angeles; the impact of USC's loss to Minnesota on Penn State's resume; and the implications of the Ohio State-Oregon game for the Lions.

In the latest round of OLD NEWS with former guest Emily Colucci (creator of the art & culture website Filthy Dreams), we cover: cancel culture through the lens of James Franco (who was part of our original recording back in 2016) and Louis C.K.; Cai Guo-Qiang's botched fireworks performance at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as part of PST Art's ‘Science and Art'-themed mega-art event, including injured spectators; our own thoughts and feelings about fireworks, particularly of the neighborhood kind, and how Emily kind of loves the tacky spectacle of them; how California College of the Arts is considering closing its doors, and whether it's surprising there aren't more private art schools that are closing or on the verge of doing so; how and why the art market is struggling, and how Emily is frustrated that if nobody is selling anything anyway, why is everyone putting on boring shows?; how Emily tends not to interact with gallery-sitters/gallerinas, having been one herself (at Sikkema Jenkins) and just wanting the visitor to leave already; and our respective strategic approaches to gallery-hopping with an emphasis on efficiency and avoiding everything blurring together at the end of the day.

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return behind the microphones for another episode of the Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football prodcast. The Helium Boys are back to break down USC's 48-0 thrashing of Utah State in the Trojans' home opener and discuss how the Trojans should be evaluated entering their bye week before a huge showdown with Michigan. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill.' Shotgun raves about how good the Trojan defense has looked under the defensive staff of D'Anton Lynn, Eric Henderson, Matt Entz and Doug Belk after USC notched its first shutout in 13 years. Chris then takes the 'Two-Minute Drill' reins to talk about how important blowout victories are for the development of a program because of the opportunities it allows young players to get on the field, get their feet wet and get adjusted to the speed and physicality of the college game.. Chris and Shotgun then dive into their stocks in Stock Up/Stock Down looking at what players or elements were elevated or took a hit based on preseason expectations and the first game of the season. Both Helium Boys gush about the play of linebacker Eric Gentry, who seems to be having more fun than anyone in the stadium on game days and who is having a huge impact on a play-in, play-out basis. Shotgun goes as far as to put Gentry on All-American watch with the way he has shined through the first two games. There is plenty of stocks on the rise after a 48-0 win with Miller Moss, the running back group, young defenders and Lake McRee's surgeon all getting some love. The Stock Down section is much shorter as is to be expected, but one element Shotgun harps on is the receivers catching. After a break, the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing among other things what it will take for the Trojans to be able to keep Lynn around for more than one season and what kind of adjustments Lynn can make against a Michigan offense that has struggled thus far. They also give their suggestions for an improved Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and talk about Lincoln Riley's red zone passing game play calling. The episode concludes with Chris quizzing Shotgun with some Take It or Leave Its around rankings and player performances. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts!

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Olympic games of 1984 held in Los Angeles.

The Paris Olympics kicks off Friday, starting the countdown until the games come to Los Angeles in 2028. During the 2028 games, the L.A. Memorial Coliseum will again host the track and field and Para Athletics events, making it the only stadium in history to host these competitions for three different Olympic Games. To celebrate this milestone, we want to revisit the Coliseum's history and replay this episode from 2023…during the stadium's centennial year! #147: The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is one of several L.A. landmarks hitting the century mark this year, and we thought it'd be fun to take a look back on them as we celebrate our one-year anniversary of How To LA this September. We explored The Biltmore Hotel downtown (if you haven't listened to that episode already) and we'll be featuring the story behind the Hollywood sign pretty soon. When it comes to the L.A. Coliseum (the "memorial" in the full name refers to the fact that the stadium is a memorial to the Americans who served in WWI) there's no denying that it has a rich history. For example, it played a role in the desegregation of the NFL, and it will soon be the first location to ever host three Olympic Games. But the stadium's history goes way beyond sports. Guests: Frank Guridy, Professor of History and African American and African Diaspora Studies at Columbia University, and author of the forthcoming book, "The Stadium: An American History of Politics, Protest, and Play" William Deverell, Historian at USC and Director of the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West Marina Fote, Assistant to the General Manager, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum The performances from Wattstax in this episode are Carla Thomas singing "Pick Up the Pieces" and The Bar-Kays performing "Son of Shaft/Feel It"

BONUS EPISODE – We're keeping it

The Victory Bell is back in Westwood after UCLA football's dominant win at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum against USC. Sports staff writer Gavin Carlson and Sports senior staff writer Jack Nelson recap the statement win. Then, the two find themselves on opposite sides of a debate about Chip Kelly staying at UCLA next season before previewing the upcoming game against Cal.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in LA, and Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund at home - break down all the major talking points after Washington's historic 52-42 win over the No. 20 USC Trojans. For starters, it's the first time Washington has won back-to-back times at USC since the 1935 and 1937 seasons, so that was a major breakthrough. And Dillon Johnson's 256 yards put him fifth all-time on the UW single game rushing list, just in front of Louis Rankin's 255-yard effort at Stanford back in 2007. And it was the first time the Huskies have beaten a Heisman Trophy winner since 1981, when they beat Marcus Allen and USC 13-3. To begin the show, Kim set the scene at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and then the guys got to work breaking down the main storylines, starting first with Johnson's amazing game on the ground. We guarantee no one had Dillon Johnson running for as many yards as Michael Penix Jr. did throwing the ball - and winning the game - but that's exactly what happened. And then they broke down Penix's night, one that has to put him right in the thick of the Heisman Trophy discussion, if he wasn't already. After a quick break, they turn to the other side of the ball and look at Caleb Williams and what he was able to do against the Washington defense, as well as the Trojans' potent run game. Kim offered up the team and individual stats, and then the talk had to turn to the officiating - the good and the bad. And there was a LOT of bad to talk about. But you should never expect to get a break on the road, and the Huskies lived out that existence on Saturday night without question. Before they offered up their final thoughts on the night - including whether or not they expect Washington to move up in the next College Football Playoff rankings, Chris wondered aloud; what happens if Washington goes 12-0 but loses to Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship? There's at least one hot take you're going to want to check out to see if you agree. And then the game time for Utah was announced - 12:30 pm PT - so that sets up another titanic matchup in a November that was always destined to be remembered.

Hall of Famer Jackie Slater talks with Nestor and Luke on Radio Row in San Francisco

The NASCAR season is finally upon us as the Cup Series descended upon The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the second running of The Clash. Will Porter and Jacob Simpson are here to break down the on track action, as well as look ahead to what the future of the event may behold. Before the races, cars hit the track for practice and qualifying. One car in particular, piloted by rookie Ty Gibbs, spontaneously combusted while running practice laps. Is this going to be a trend moving forward or was this incident isolated? From the drop of the green flag for the heat races, there was evidence of more aggression from the field than we saw in 2022. Was this a product of experience with the car and the track being familiar to the teams? Or was there more urgency to make the main? Beginning the day before in practice and qualifying, as the racing moved into the night, tires and track temperature would become main themes throughout the weekend. Did these things make any difference in the main event? In the main, we saw two completely different segments: one tame, another chaotic. Apart from breaking down all the happenings on track, what would or even should change about the event moving forward? And finally, all throughout the weekend, there were rumblings about the coliseum hosing a points race in the future. What would that look like logistically? Could it work? Would it even be a legitimate race?

Bruce Thornton scored 22 points to lead the Buckeyes, who have lost four straight and 10 of 12. Thornton was 10-of-13 shooting and Ohio State made five of its last eight shots but that only raised the shooting percent to 41. Bufkin, Dickinson and Howard combined for a Michigan 12-3 run for a 24-14 lead midway through the first half. Despite a poor shooting half, the Buckeyes closed it to 41-36 at the half as Sueing hit a last-minute 3-pointer.

Duke led 48-46 going into the fourth quarter after trailing Notre Dame by as many as five points in the third quarter. A steal by Elizabeth Balogun in the final 15 seconds helped seal the win for the Blue Devils. Maddy Westbeld led Notre Dame with 15 points.

Tonight Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons, 7:00 p.m. San Antonio Spurs at Chicago Bulls, 8:00 p.m. NBA – AP source: Kyrie Irving going to the Dallas Mavericks All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving is being traded by the Brooklyn Nets. The team has struck a deal with the Dallas Mavericks. That’s according to a person with knowledge of the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the move. The Mavericks will trade Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and a package of draft picks to the Nets. The blockbuster trade ends Irving’s pairing with Kevin Durant before it ever had much of a chance to click. Dallas also gets Markieff Morris in the deal. NFL – National Football League Sunday 2023 Pro Bowl Games NFC 35, AFC 33 NASCAR – Truex wins NASCAR’s sloppy return to Los Angeles Coliseum Martin Truex Jr. won NASCAR's return to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for its season-opening exhibition race. Truex took the lead with 25 laps to go in the Busch Light Clash, a 150-lap race that was moved last year to the Coliseum as NASCAR built a temporary quarter-mile track in a bold attempt to try something new. NASCAR knew it was going to be difficult to duplicate the success of last year’s race in its return to the Coliseum and Sunday night’s racing wasn’t great: there were 25 cautions and laps under yellow didn't count. There were only five cautions in last year's race.

NASCAR knew it was going to be difficult to duplicate the success of last year’s race in its return to the Coliseum and Sunday night’s racing wasn’t great: there were 25 cautions and laps under yellow didn't count.

Truex took the lead with 25 laps to go in the Busch Light Clash, a 150-lap race that was moved last year to the Coliseum as NASCAR built a temporary quarter-mile track in a bold attempt to try something new. NASCAR knew it was going to be difficult to duplicate the success of last year’s race in its return to the Coliseum and Sunday night’s racing wasn’t great: there were 25 cautions and laps under yellow didn’t count. There were only five cautions in last year’s race.

Pro Football in the 1970s is part of the https://sportshistorynetwork.com/ (Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear). EPISODE SUMMARY The NFL saw two of its muddiest playoff games of all time during the decade of the 1970s. In 1970, the Miami Dolphins played on a certifiable quagmire at the Oakland Coliseum, and in 1977, the Minnesota Vikings competed against the Rams at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on a field that could be aptly described as a drenched bog. Both of those stadiums had a natural grass surface, and when water mixed with those fields, a sopping mud was the visible result. Read the entire episode blog post and check out some other cool info regarding this https://sportshistorynetwork.com/football/nfl/muddiest-playoff-games-ever (episode here).

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Toronto Blue Jays 6, Detroit Tigers 0 Texas Rangers 8, Chicago White Sox 6 – 12 innings New York Yankees 18, Chicago Cubs 4 Blue Jays 6, Tigers 0 – Guerrero homers, leads Stripling, Blue Jays over Tigers 6-0 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered, Ross Stripling pitched one-hit ball for six innings and the Toronto Blue Jays went on to beat the Detroit Tigers 6-0. The Blue Jays took two of three from Detroit, giving them 13 victories in 17 games. Toronto has the third-best record in the American League, trailing the East-leading New York Yankees in its division and West-leading Houston. Rangers 8, White Sox 6 – F/12 – Rangers end 12-inning win over White Sox on 7-5 double play Jonah Heim hit a two-run single in the 12th inning and the Texas Rangers turned a double play on a ball hit to the warning track to end an 8-6 win over the Chicago White Sox. Embattled manager Tony La Russa and the White Sox have lost four of five. This one began with right-hander Michael Kopech leaving with right knee discomfort after 13 pitches and ended with an unusual double play in the 12th. José Abreu struck out looking against Kolby Allard leading off, then Jake Burger hit a fly to the warning track in left. Charlie Culberson caught the ball, then threw out automatic runner Luis Robert trying to tag up and take third. Yankees 18, Cubs 4 – Carpenter hammers Cubs; 2 HRs, 7 RBIs in Yanks’ 18-4 rout Matt Carpenter homered twice and tied his career high with seven RBIs, powering the New York Yankees to complete a weekend sweep of the Chicago Cubs with a 18-4 rout for their 11th win in 12 games. The 36-year-old Carpenter was signed on May 26 after spending the first seven weeks at Texas’ Triple-A Round Rock. Carpenter became the second player since 1900 to hit six home runs in his first 10 games for a team after Colorado’s Trevor Story in 2016. Chicago’s six-game losing streak is its longest this year, dropping the Cubs a season-worst 13 games under .500 at 23-36. Tonight Chicago White Sox (TBD) at Detroit (García 0-1), 7:10 p.m.                 WSJM/WCSY 6:50 San Diego (Darvish 5-3) at Chicago Cubs (Steele 1-5), 8:05 p.m. NBA – National Basketball Association – 2022 NBA Finals Tonight Boston Celtics at Golden State Warriors, 9:00 p.m.         (Series Tied 2-2) NBA – With NBA Finals tied at 2, Celtics try to stop Stephen Curry The Boston Celtics realize they must find an answer to Stephen Curry and do a better job making things difficult for the two-time MVP. Curry scored 43 points in Golden State’s 107-97 victory in Game 4 on Friday night to even the NBA Finals at 2 wins apiece heading into Game 5 back in San Francisco on Monday. Boston coach Ime Udoka is counting on everybody getting involved defensively to put more pressure on Curry all over the floor and also to be more physical with the all-time 3-point leader. NBA – Green looks to make impact for Warriors even without scoring When the Golden State Warriors made their fourth-quarter push to get back into the NBA Finals, Draymond Green had the unusual role as spectator. The versatile Green who has been one of the stalwarts of Golden State’s dynasty got pulled in crunch time of Game 4 in what was a and effective decision by coach Steve Kerr. Now with the series shifting back to California tied heading into Game 5, Kerr said he has no concerns about what he’ll get out of Green the rest of the way. NHL – Avalanche, Lightning set for anticipated Stanley Cup clash The two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning face the best in the West Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Final beginning Wednesday in Denver. Tampa Bay is the first team since Wayne Gretzky’s Edmonton Oilers from 1983-85 to make the final in three consecutive years. The Lightning are looking to be the NHL’s first three-peat champions since the New York Islanders won the Cup four times in a row from 1980-83. Colorado’s core led by Nathan MacKinnon used depth and speed to break through to the final for the first time after several disappointing playoff performances. The Avalanche are going for the franchise’s first championship since 2001. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Yesterday Indiana Fever 84, Minnesota Lynx 80 Chicago Sky 88, New York Liberty 86 – OT Fever 84, Lynx 80 – Smith has 21 points, 14 rebounds; Fever beat Lynx 84-80 NaLyssa Smith had 21 points and 14 rebounds and Indiana closed the game on a 11-4 run to beat the Minnesota Lynx 84-80. Victoria Vivians added 15 points and hit two 3-pointers during the game-ending run to help the Fever end a five-game skid. Danielle Robinson scored 16 points and Kelsey Mitchell added 15 for the Fever (4-12). Nikolina Milic had a career-high 23 points on 11-of-19 shooting for Minnesota and Aerial Powers added 15 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Sky 88, Liberty 86 – OT – Sky overcome triple-double by Ionescu with late 3 Courtney Vandersloot hit a 3-pointer from the wing with 0.9 seconds left to help the Chicago Sky overcome Sabrina Ionescu’s second career triple-double and beat the New York Liberty 88-86. Ionescu tied the WNBA record for triple doubles with the second of her career when she finished with 27 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, accomplishing the feat by the end of the third quarter — the fastest in league history. It wasn’t enough for New York (5-9), which had won four of its past five games. Trailing 86-85, Vandersloot took a pass from Candace Parker on the wing and drained the 3. New York had one last chance, but couldn’t get a shot off. WNBA – Taylor calls for Griner’s release at Hall of Fame induction Penny Taylor used her induction into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame to call for the release of her former Phoenix Mercury teammate Brittney Griner. Taylor noted it’s been 114 days since the seven-time WNBA All-Star was detained in Russia. Taylor called for President Joe Biden’s help freeing Griner, saying “BG is our family.” Taylor also said the entire global sports community needs to come together and insist that freeing Griner be a priority. The two-time Olympic gold medalist has been detained since Feb. 17. DeLisha Milton-Jones wrapped up her acceptance speech with a call to bring Griner home. DePaul coach Doug Bruno also called for Griner’s release saying, “Enough is enough." NCAABSB – Notre Dame stuns No. 1 Tennessee 7-3, advances to CWS Freshman Jack Findlay threw five shutout innings in relief and back-to-back home runs by catcher David LaManna and Jack Brannigan in the seventh sparked Notre Dame to a 7-3 victory over No. 1 overall seed Tennessee in the championship game of the Knoxville Super Regional.  Notre Dame (40-15) will be making just its third College World Series appearance. The Fighting Irish’s other trips came in 1957 and 2002.  Findlay (6-2) worked out of a jam after entering the game in the bottom of the fifth inning with nobody out, a run in and a runner on second, trailing 3-1. Findlay held the Volunteers in check from there, allowing a single and two walks, while striking out four to get the win. Golf – LIV/PGA – PGA chief slams Saudi-funded league as series of exhibitions PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is blasting the Saudi-based LIV Golf league as a series of exhibitions that spends billions to recruit players without getting a return on the investment. He also says players unaware they might face criticism for taking Saudi money are “living under a rock.” They’re his first public comments since he suspended PGA Tour members who signed up for Greg Norman’s new league and played in the first LIV event last week outside London. Monahan spoke during the CBS telecast of the Canadian Open and pointed out that was “pure competition" that creates stars. Golf – PGA – McIlroy defends Canadian Open title in strong LIV response Rory McIlroy won the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday and gave the PGA Tour a strong response to the start of the Saudi-funded LIV Golf Invitational, closing with an 8-under 62 to win a wild race to the finish with Justin Thomas and Tony Finau.  McIlroy finished at 19-under 261 at St. George’s for a two-stroke victory. Finau shot a 64 to finish second alone. Thomas bogeyed the final two holes for a 64 to finish third at 14 under. Justin Rose matched the tournament- and course-record with a 60 — with three eagles and three bogeys — to tie for fourth. NASCAR – Suarez gets historic win at Sonoma Daniel Suárez became the first Mexican-born driver to win a NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday on Sonoma Raceway.  The 30-year-old Mexican driver held off Chris Buescher to claim his first victory in his 195th career start.  He also drove his Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet to the third Cup Series victory for this 2-year-old team co-owned by former driver Justin Marks and music star Pitbull. Suárez got past Buescher and took charge on this hilly road course in Northern California wine country early in the final stage. He persevered through a pit stop and a caution to emerge with his lead intact with 23 laps to go. NASCAR – NASCAR’s preseason Clash returns to LA Coliseum in 2023 NASCAR’s season-opening exhibition Clash race is rolling back to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 2023. NASCAR announced Sunday it will return to the Southern California sports landmark next season after The Clash’s highly successful debut there four months ago.  NASCAR got some of its best reviews in years for the 2022 Clash, which took place on a temporary 0.25-mile track inside the venerable Coliseum. Boxing – Floyd Mayweather Jr. touched by Hall of Fame induction Floyd Mayweather Jr. was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in a ceremony that included the past three classes. Mayweather credited his mom, dad and sister for much of his success and said his dad, who trained him, would get his Hall of Fame ring. The pandemic forced the postponement of the previous two induction ceremonies, making 2022 a crowded affair. The ceremony was moved from the Hall of Fame’s home in Canastota, New York, to Turning Stone Resort and Casino in nearby Verona to accommodate the 36 honorees. Former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko was not there. He’s in Ukraine helping his brother, the mayor of Kyiv, but sent a short video.

Toronto has the third-best record in the American League, trailing the East-leading New York Yankees in its division and West-leading Houston. Rangers 8, White Sox 6 – F/12 – Rangers end 12-inning win over White Sox on 7-5 double play Jonah Heim hit a two-run single in the 12th inning and the Texas Rangers turned a double play on a ball hit to the warning track to end an 8-6 win over the Chicago White Sox. Embattled manager Tony La Russa and the White Sox have lost four of five. This one began with right-hander Michael Kopech leaving with right knee discomfort after 13 pitches and ended with an unusual double play in the 12th. José Abreu struck out looking against Kolby Allard leading off, then Jake Burger hit a fly to the warning track in left. Charlie Culberson caught the ball, then threw out automatic runner Luis Robert trying to tag up and take third. Yankees 18, Cubs 4 – Carpenter hammers Cubs; 2 HRs, 7 RBIs in Yanks’ 18-4 rout Matt Carpenter homered twice and tied his career high with seven RBIs, powering the New York Yankees to complete a weekend sweep of the Chicago Cubs with a 18-4 rout for their 11th win in 12 games. The 36-year-old Carpenter was signed on May 26 after spending the first seven weeks at Texas’ Triple-A Round Rock. Carpenter became the second player since 1900 to hit six home runs in his first 10 games for a team after Colorado’s Trevor Story in 2016. Chicago’s six-game losing streak is its longest this year, dropping the Cubs a season-worst 13 games under .500 at 23-36. Tonight Chicago White Sox (TBD) at Detroit (García 0-1), 7:10 p.m.                 WSJM/WCSY 6:50 San Diego (Darvish 5-3) at Chicago Cubs (Steele 1-5), 8:05 p.m. NBA – National Basketball Association – 2022 NBA Finals Tonight Boston Celtics at Golden State Warriors, 9:00 p.m.         (Series Tied 2-2) NBA – With NBA Finals tied at 2, Celtics try to stop Stephen Curry The Boston Celtics realize they must find an answer to Stephen Curry and do a better job making things difficult for the two-time MVP. Curry scored 43 points in Golden State’s 107-97 victory in Game 4 on Friday night to even the NBA Finals at 2 wins apiece heading into Game 5 back in San Francisco on Monday. Boston coach Ime Udoka is counting on everybody getting involved defensively to put more pressure on Curry all over the floor and also to be more physical with the all-time 3-point leader. NBA – Green looks to make impact for Warriors even without scoring When the Golden State Warriors made their fourth-quarter push to get back into the NBA Finals, Draymond Green had the unusual role as spectator. The versatile Green who has been one of the stalwarts of Golden State’s dynasty got pulled in crunch time of Game 4 in what was a and effective decision by coach Steve Kerr. Now with the series shifting back to California tied heading into Game 5, Kerr said he has no concerns about what he’ll get out of Green the rest of the way. NHL – Avalanche, Lightning set for anticipated Stanley Cup clash The two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning face the best in the West Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Final beginning Wednesday in Denver. Tampa Bay is the first team since Wayne Gretzky’s Edmonton Oilers from 1983-85 to make the final in three consecutive years. The Lightning are looking to be the NHL’s first three-peat champions since the New York Islanders won the Cup four times in a row from 1980-83. Colorado’s core led by Nathan MacKinnon used depth and speed to break through to the final for the first time after several disappointing playoff performances. The Avalanche are going for the franchise’s first championship since 2001. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Yesterday Indiana Fever 84, Minnesota Lynx 80 Chicago Sky 88, New York Liberty 86 – OT Fever 84, Lynx 80 – Smith has 21 points, 14 rebounds; Fever beat Lynx 84-80 NaLyssa Smith had 21 points and 14 rebounds and Indiana closed the game on a 11-4 run to beat the Minnesota Lynx 84-80. Victoria Vivians added 15 points and hit two 3-pointers during the game-ending run to help the Fever end a five-game skid. Danielle Robinson scored 16 points and Kelsey Mitchell added 15 for the Fever (4-12). Nikolina Milic had a career-high 23 points on 11-of-19 shooting for Minnesota and Aerial Powers added 15 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Sky 88, Liberty 86 – OT – Sky overcome triple-double by Ionescu with late 3 Courtney Vandersloot hit a 3-pointer from the wing with 0.9 seconds left to help the Chicago Sky overcome Sabrina Ionescu’s second career triple-double and beat the New York Liberty 88-86. Ionescu tied the WNBA record for triple doubles with the second of her career when she finished with 27 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, accomplishing the feat by the end of the third quarter — the fastest in league history. It wasn’t enough for New York (5-9), which had won four of its past five games. Trailing 86-85, Vandersloot took a pass from Candace Parker on the wing and drained the 3. New York had one last chance, but couldn’t get a shot off. WNBA – Taylor calls for Griner’s release at Hall of Fame induction Penny Taylor used her induction into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame to call for the release of her former Phoenix Mercury teammate Brittney Griner. Taylor noted it’s been 114 days since the seven-time WNBA All-Star was detained in Russia. Taylor called for President Joe Biden’s help freeing Griner, saying “BG is our family.” Taylor also said the entire global sports community needs to come together and insist that freeing Griner be a priority. The two-time Olympic gold medalist has been detained since Feb. 17. DeLisha Milton-Jones wrapped up her acceptance speech with a call to bring Griner home. DePaul coach Doug Bruno also called for Griner’s release saying, “Enough is enough." NCAABSB – Notre Dame stuns No. 1 Tennessee 7-3, advances to CWS Freshman Jack Findlay threw five shutout innings in relief and back-to-back home runs by catcher David LaManna and Jack Brannigan in the seventh sparked Notre Dame to a 7-3 victory over No. 1 overall seed Tennessee in the championship game of the Knoxville Super Regional.  Notre Dame (40-15) will be making just its third College World Series appearance. The Fighting Irish’s other trips came in 1957 and 2002.  Findlay (6-2) worked out of a jam after entering the game in the bottom of the fifth inning with nobody out, a run in and a runner on second, trailing 3-1. Findlay held the Volunteers in check from there, allowing a single and two walks, while striking out four to get the win. Golf – LIV/PGA – PGA chief slams Saudi-funded league as series of exhibitions PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is blasting the Saudi-based LIV Golf league as a series of exhibitions that spends billions to recruit players without getting a return on the investment. He also says players unaware they might face criticism for taking Saudi money are “living under a rock.” They’re his first public comments since he suspended PGA Tour members who signed up for Greg Norman’s new league and played in the first LIV event last week outside London. Monahan spoke during the CBS telecast of the Canadian Open and pointed out that was “pure competition" that creates stars. Golf – PGA – McIlroy defends Canadian Open title in strong LIV response Rory McIlroy won the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday and gave the PGA Tour a strong response to the start of the Saudi-funded LIV Golf Invitational, closing with an 8-under 62 to win a wild race to the finish with Justin Thomas and Tony Finau.  McIlroy finished at 19-under 261 at St. George’s for a two-stroke victory. Finau shot a 64 to finish second alone. Thomas bogeyed the final two holes for a 64 to finish third at 14 under. Justin Rose matched the tournament- and course-record with a 60 — with three eagles and three bogeys — to tie for fourth. NASCAR – Suarez gets historic win at Sonoma Daniel Suárez became the first Mexican-born driver to win a NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday on Sonoma Raceway.  The 30-year-old Mexican driver held off Chris Buescher to claim his first victory in his 195th career start.  He also drove his Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet to the third Cup Series victory for this 2-year-old team co-owned by former driver Justin Marks and music star Pitbull. Suárez got past Buescher and took charge on this hilly road course in Northern California wine country early in the final stage. He persevered through a pit stop and a caution to emerge with his lead intact with 23 laps to go. NASCAR – NASCAR’s preseason Clash returns to LA Coliseum in 2023 NASCAR’s season-opening exhibition Clash race is rolling back to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 2023. NASCAR announced Sunday it will return to the Southern California sports landmark next season after The Clash’s highly successful debut there four months ago.  NASCAR got some of its best reviews in years for the 2022 Clash, which took place on a temporary 0.25-mile track inside the venerable Coliseum. Boxing – Floyd Mayweather Jr. touched by Hall of Fame induction Floyd Mayweather Jr. was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in a ceremony that included the past three classes. Mayweather credited his mom, dad and sister for much of his success and said his dad, who trained him, would get his Hall of Fame ring. The pandemic forced the postponement of the previous two induction ceremonies, making 2022 a crowded affair. The ceremony was moved from the Hall of Fame’s home in Canastota, New York, to Turning Stone Resort and Casino in nearby Verona to accommodate the 36 honorees. Former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko was not there. He’s in Ukraine helping his brother, the mayor of Kyiv, but sent a short video.

Week 7 of the XFL season saw the undefeated Orlando Rage take on the LA Xtreme. A day after NBC dropped to a new-low 2.1 overnight rating for an XFL telecast, the Los Angeles Xtreme drew a sparse crowd for what was billed as the XFL's "game of the year" at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The announced crowd was 20,382 -- that's tickets sold. There were maybe 14,000 people in the stands as the Xtreme beat the Orlando Rage, 31-6. The Rage (6-1) came into the game as the most productive offense in the XFL. It did not score until the fourth quarter. The Xtreme improved to 5-2, retained its hold on first place in the XFL's West Division and appeared to be playing like the team that was the preseason favorite to win the XFL championship. Tommy Maddox completed 19-of-25 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns for Los Angeles. He also scored on a quarterback sneak. Orlando lost quarterback Jeff Brohm on the first play of the second quarter. He sustained a separated right shoulder when he was sacked by Xtreme linebacker Juan Long. Brohm completed five of 10 passes for 46 yards. Brian Kuklick replaced Brohm, completing 17 of 24 passes for 224 yards and was intercepted three times. He spoiled the shutout by running 3 yards for a touchdown with 10:17 left. Jose Cortez added 29- and 31-yard field goals in the first half and Saladin McCullough ran 3 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown. Long punt returns by Damon Gibson set up both of the Xtreme's first-quarter scores. Cortez opened the scoring with a 29-yard field goal four plays after Gibson's 51-yard return gave Los Angeles the ball on Orlando's 20-yard line. Maddox scored on a quarterback sneak three plays after Gibson's 34-yard return put the ball on the Rage 12. The Xtreme increased its lead to 18-0 on Maddox's 6-yard touchdown pass to Darnell McDonald with 3:26 left in the first half. Maddox also threw an 8-yard scoring pass to McDonald after a 57-yard interception return by Leomont Evans with 1:05 left in the half. Keyshawn Johnson of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who came to watch Xtreme linebacker Herrin Errick, his roommate for one year at USC, said he enjoyed the game.

This week Big Lou welcomes to The Sports Lounge Mike Tupper, MMA Fighter. During high school he got in a lot of fights at school - his father helped him channel that energy into becoming a champion fighter at State Street Boxing, and later, an MMA fighter. Your Giltinis News: Giltinis News - GILTINIS CONFIRM MCNULTY TRADE TO SEATTLE - Sean McNulty has been traded to the Seattle Seawolves for cap consideration. We discuss Five Directions Club, Trainer Shannon Good - MMA Trainer + Boxing Coach and how to prepare for an MMA fight. https://www.shannongoodpt.com https://www.fivedirectionsclub.org ABOUT Five Directions Five Directions is an organization dedicated to providing underserved communities in Santa Barbara County with a physical location free of abuse, neglect, and judgement. It strives to be a multi-service organization focused on the needs of children and low-income families, providing structured programs to encourage positive physical and emotional growth. When COVID hit the country in early 2020, brothers Jairo and Zico Gonzalez noticed the impact that closed schools and social isolation were having on the children in their community. They realized that boxing, as a form of physical discipline and emotional release, could provide a positive outlet during such a challenging time. As public facilities began to re-open, the brothers pooled their money and rented a small industrial space just outside Old Town Goleta. Using their own funds and voluntary donations, the brothers renovated the space, turning it into a full-blown indoor/outdoor community and training center for both youth and adults.   Currently, Five Directions provides boxing instruction to any and all members of the community. As a partner with Generation Red Road, it also provides referrals to talking circles, a free resource designed to improve emotional health. As it grows, the organization is looking to expand into additional areas such as strength and conditioning, yoga, meditation, and jujitsu. The ultimate vision is to provide an accessible, comprehensive approach to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health that will provide members with the tools they need to build a stronger, healthier community. On the path to the Playoffs - Will they take the Championship 2 years in a row? The Giltini's next home game is against the Austin Gilgronis at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at 3pm (PST) on Sunday, May 8. Tickets are available at - - - www.giltinis.com

Del grew up in South Central Los Angeles in the 1980's which was like living in a war zone. As the crack epidemic exploded, the violent gang culture grew exponentially and Crips, Bloods and Latino gangs fought violent turf wars to control the drug distribution on the streets. Fortunately for Del, the Los Angeles Unified School District started busing children from South Central, Watts and East Los Angeles to better neighborhood schools located on the Westside of Los Angeles. This was an opportunity to escape the horrors of gang life in South Central L.A. at least between the hours of 8AM-3PM Monday through Friday. Del took full advantage of the opportunity and started to focus more on academics and athletics where he became a standout in track and football in high school. After being recruited to West Los Angeles Junior college for track, Del decided to pivot to play football full time which changed the trajectory of his life. Del developed into a talented wide receiver in college and was recruited to USC by legendary coach John Robinson. His life came full circle as he now was playing on Saturdays in front of 90,000 fans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum just a few minutes away from where he grew up. Del flourished at USC in his role as a back up wide receiver to future NFL greats Keyshawn Johnson and Johnnie Morton and impressed his coaches with his mental mindset, leadership skills, intelligence and work ethic. As a result, after graduating from USC and finishing his football career his coaches offered him a graduate assistant position and he began his career as a division 1 football coach. Del is currently the wide receiver coach at Notre Dame and plays a crucial role in their national recruiting which keeps him extremely busy with a hectic travel schedule during the off season. He is a well regarded in the Division 1 coaching community and coveted as a Division 1 offensive coordinator and future head coach candidate. During his prestigious coaching career he has held various coordinator and assistant positions at power house programs such as USC, Arizona State, Oregon State, UNLV and Wisconsin and has mentored several NFL receivers and hundreds of young men who have gone on to get degrees and enter the work force. This is a story about persistence, drive, work ethic, vision, leadership and never allowing external distractions, or excuses, to knock him off his path to greatness. School is in session!
