Not sure if you'll consider this, but nobody is standing over you forcing the CPAP on you. Don't want to use it, don't use it. When I was in the hospital for another procedure (not a stay over), I had five medical people tell me I had sleep apnea. I told them I don't have sleep apnea. I snore...

If I was still working, before this event started, I would have suggested to our editors that we make a style ruling on jargon, and make sure the writers got the word. My opinion: quote them accurately, but in text, do it in American English. In a quote, "Spain were awesome." In text: Spain was...

The weekly Culver City Observer (maybe 5-6 employees) is in the back room of a barber shop. No separate entrance. If you visit, you have to walk through the barber shop to their office.

Don't blame them, blame soccer.

Damn, I was encouraged by the previous report that said when the Big One hits, everything west of the 5 would be gone. I live a quarter-mile east of the 5 so I should be OK. I will recount my favorite story about Cal football. The Hayward Fault runs right down the middle of their stadium, end...

Angels closer Kirby Yates ..... . . . . Oh, never mind. IYKYK.

I seem to remember a ball being next to a tree or something. The golfer had to put one knee on the ground for a stance to punch it out. He put a towel on the ground so as to not stain his pants. That prompted somebody to call in.

I thought about that when I first saw the obit on FB (and wrestled with posting about that). I wondered if his column on Penner necessitated his departure to Abu Dhabi. I didn't know him well but we did cross paths regularly covering sports in L.A. Guys I have the utmost of respect for --...

Seemed like nobody was keeping track of this, including Holland. I was in a small media scrum when it was pointed out to him that he had retired 27 consecutive batters (don't remember how many games it took). "Do I get credit for a perfect game?" he asked. It must have been "81 or '82 when he...

A couple of weeks after this thread started, I never would have thought of this, but then I heard it and it seems appropriate:

What's the tally for Oscar?

The 4-person pregame show was ridiculous, Rizzo trying to outsmart everybody. The ending of the competition saved the day. And the postgame interview with the winner was pretty good, until ......... . . . . . . . Yep, the Netflix time slot expired in mid-sentence.

I'll take an L when I deserve an L. Not this time. I'm not mad, I just view it as apples and oranges. Soccer is vastly different than football, the absurd comparison Inky made. I think he got mad because I brought this up. Half this thread -- by people who are knowledgeable about sports -- is...

If I wanted it eliminated in football, I would have posted in the NFL or CFB thread. This is the soccer thread. Check the heading at the top, that's a clue as to what we're talking about.

Those are the same four saves he had when I made a similar post more than a month ago. But that one was also about Kirby Yates, who blew another save a couple of days ago after needing months to get the ONE he needed for 100 in his career.

Those kids who are waiting for the school bus in the dark, after school, they're out playing baseball until 9 or 10.

I haven't posted much here because my lack of soccer knowledge would disrespect those of you who know the sport inside-out. But I think this: eliminate offsides. If a team wants to cherry pick, counterattack the hell out of them. Isn't that the reason for the rule? To eliminate cherry-picking?

The OC Register building is still standing vacant on Grand Avenue. The old side of the building was leased by Amazon for a distribution center. I don't think it is anymore. I drove past (you can see if from the 5 freeway) and a new warehouse-looking structure was built behind it in a vacant area...

I'm in dreamland. My FB REELS is bring up clips of Kim Alexis interviewing Carol Alt. OMG. Good thing I have two eyes. Amazing that they both were married to NY Rangers named Ron.
