It was an ugliest of games for the team in the prettiest of cities. After winning 11 straight games to finish the regular season, the San Diego Chargers came out with a resounding thud at home against the Jets on Sunday. Penalties, missed field goals and turnovers formed a perfect storm of suck for the Chargers and kept the Jets in the game until the final quarter where they took and held onto the lead to advance to the AFC championship game with a 17-14 victory.

This is a joke. The NFL just fined Chad Ochocinco $20,000 for a fake bribe that he offered a ref on a play review. He did it openly and with $1; if you want to fine him okay. I am cool with that, but $20,000? Honestly?

So, rumor has it online sports betting used to be really sweet; I heard pinnaclesports was an excellent, reputable site until the US cracked down on this alleged integrity issue. An article I read points to a 1999 study that over $380 billion is illegally wagered on betting. Now, I am not an advocate of; well, if society does it.. then it must be right. Because usually, I think people are pretty stupid, especially society. However, this seems harmless to me because the money can be used in so many ways. Think of all the tax money and money, in general, the state and the US can collect, insane. Anyway, it appears sports betting is only allowed in several states where it was legal before a certain law was passed.

The Lakers were not the only team in the NBA last night to give up 30+ points in the fourth quarter. Every team that did lost, including the Toronto Raptors who gave up 30+ in EVERY quarter.
I have said that for the Lakers to show the world that they are serious title contenders they should win this game (among others). I still stand by that statement.

Pau Gasol is seven feet tall but he just got taller in my eyes.
Gasol and his teammates on Spain's Olympic team was put in an embarassing position this week of having to explain why they agreed to pose for an advertisement that reflected a racist tone.

I have been holding out on writing about the Green Bay Packers until this whole Brett Favre incident would pass and it finally has. Brett Favre has been traded to the New York Jets. This means 2 things. 1, Aaron Rodgers is finally the starting quarterback of the Green Bay Packers with no ifs, ands, or buts. And 2, everything I wrote about the Jets when I was writing about them means nothing now. Oh well. Its football, it happens. The Packers are one of my favorite teams, so lets get started.

Growing up in Los Angeles, the only team that anyone ever talked about when it came to the NBA was the Los Angeles Lakers. I remember the whole city being completely obsessed when it came to Lakers basketball. Billboards, commercials, and fast-food promotions further shoved the team into the forefront of everyone’s mind. Popular bands wrote songs about them and select celebrities lined the courtside seats.
