Coming off two 23-point games, Sandro Mamukelashvili said belief from his teammates has helped him play with more freedom. He said coming from two-way contracts "makes you doubt yourself" but he's learning to trust the belief from his teammates.

High-profile trades before season showed that with Super Bowl LXI to be played at SoFi Stadium, Rams were unquestionably all in. But as trade deadline came and went the injury-ravaged Rams essentially said they’ll handle this all internally. latimes.com/sports/rams/stor…

Huge thanks to @LATimesfarmer for chatting Chargers last night on @KTLA+ including his thoughts on the reports of Philip Rivers becoming NC State’s new head coach. Bottom line? Dadgummit, it’s gonna be awesome.

For most of USC’s history, the thinking went that only a member of the Trojan Family would understand what USC needed. Someone like Pat Haden. Or Lynn Swann. But keeping it in the family doesn’t always work out, no matter the intentions. That’s this week, on #HouseOfTroy

If the owners won’t give on the salary cap the players say they won’t accept, what can the players do? A look at labor law, options beyond the bargaining table, and a president interested in his legacy: latimes.com/sports/dodgers/s…

The first half of this #Chargers game… 👀 There seems to be an issue with almost every play: missed block at POA, dropped pass, missed throw when open, rough concept/spacing, etc…

Come for an in-depth look at the surprising fourth starter situation — stay for “biting into a pizza pillow.” No one does it like @thucnhi21.

The whole broadcasting team is the best thing about being a Clippers fan - being from the UK, they’ve made me fall in love with basketball and the Clippers

Asked coach Bob Chesney about his preseason comments that #UCLA was “a good football team away” from being an elite athletics department across the board. “We’re trying to hold our end of the bargain.”

I’ll do you one better. First time since late December 1998 and early January 1999 that @UCLAFootball, @uclambb and @UCLAWBB are all in the top 10.
It’s the first time since November of 2022 UCLA football and basketball have been ranked top ten in the same week. UCLA football was ranked 9th going into the Arizona game Nov. 12th that year, and basketball was ranked 8th in the first week of its 2022-2023 season.
