UPDATE: Lakers fans can breathe a sigh of relief as LeBron James has been upgraded from questionable to available for the team’s game against the Clippers.

Rams making roster moves

Although at a slow pace, the Los Angeles Rams braintrust continues to add small pieces to the 2026 roster build. Since the 1/27 official announcement of a block of 10 Reserve/Futures contract signees, L.A. has made six more additions. Wednesday, the Rams announced the re-signing of veteran tackle David Quessenberry to a one-year deal. In […]

Can Rams shore up defensive inconsistencies in 2026?

Defensive inconsistencies were part of the reason the Los Angeles Rams were unable to hoist the Lombardi Trophy this season.

Rams future depth chart shows offseason roster needs

When looking at offseason team needs, fans and the media tend to look at the immediate. While all teams have immediate needs, those are the issues that should be handled in free agency.

Longest-tenured Dodgers list enters a new era

Last season was a year of roster transition for the Dodgers, who cut ties with longtime mainstays Chris Taylor and Austin Barnes in May, then Clayton Kershaw retired after 18 seasons. Those were the three longest-tenured players on the team. So let’s look at the current roster and find the new deans. If we go […]

Can Puka Nacua balance celebrity with stardom?

Two years ago I tweeted that Puka Nacua was going to sign a contract extension worth over $30 million per season and that he would prove to be a better receiver than Ja’Marr Chase, a declaration that even Rams fans said was going too far. Now entering his first offseason as an extension eligible player, […]

What is your favorite “Beat LA” moment? (daily topic)

The Boston Celtics face the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday (2/22 at 6:30 PM on NBC/Peacock) and it will be just another matchup between the sport’s greatest rivals. So I thought I’d take a moment to take a trip down memory lane and talk about the past. What was your favorite memory? It is hard […]

Is tight end an underrated need for Rams this offseason?

The Los Angeles Rams took the NFL by storm last season when they introduced 13 personnel to the offense.

Will Rams get a new longsnapper?

The retirement of Rob Havenstein had some saying that all the St. Louis Rams were gone now, but one player almost qualifies: Longsnapper Jake McQuaide. Although McQuaide already left the Rams once for four years between 2021-2024, he did return to the team in 2025 and play in 12 games for the team, including playoffs. […]

Who is your least favorite MLB team?

For me, there’s a clear answer here but it’s not the one you’re thinking. There’s division rivals and the historic, heated division races the Twins have had with the Tigers through the 2000s and White Sox in the late 2010s.  There’s the Yankees, the source of Minnesota’s postseason misery for nearly two decades. The Dodgers […]
