Mayor-elect Nithya Raman readies L.A. for 2028 Olympics

L.A. Mayor-elect Nithya Raman, who six years ago gave a firm “no” when asked if she supported the Olympics coming to L.A., will be “asked to take center stage at the closing ceremony,” according to Rainey, Haggerty & Zahniser of the L.A. TIMES. Raman’s recent election “won herself a ticket to sit among the dignitaries” for the opening ceremony of the Summer Games on July 14, 2028. In the more than 600 days before the Games begin, Raman will “oversee the city’s preparations.” Those “looking for signs of friction might note that the mayor-elect has closely allied herself with City Controller Kenneth Mejia, who has been locked in a battle with LA28 over its failure to publicly report some of the details of its finances.” It is “unclear what position Raman will stake out in that conflict and another one dear to several members of the City Council -- getting LA28 to agree to set aside a certain percentage of as much as” $4B in contracts to businesses based in L.A. During her run for mayor, Raman “did what she has done on many other issues -- project a more moderate, conciliatory stance on the Olympics” (L.A. TIMES, 11/7).

Nike Wastes No Time Dropping 3-Word Message Over JuJu Watkins’ Viral Buzzer-Beater Against Utah State

With their team operating with a 22-point lead just before the end of the first quarter, most players would think of playing it safe and keeping possession until the buzzer sounds. But then again, most players are not JuJu Watkins. Showing no signs of rust after spending 588 days on the sidelines due to a devastating injury, Watkins, 2025’s Naismith Women’s College Player of the Year, picked up where she left off, dropping a double-double in her second game back. As she made a buzzer-beater at the end of the first quarter against Utah, even Nike couldn’t resist hyping up their star college ath...

Congratulations, Nithya Raman, As Our New Olympics, Pro-Unity Mayor!

ALPERN AT LARGE - The uncertainty is OVER. We now know who will be our next Mayor, and we need a Leader, and a Uniter, and someone who is both brave enough to listen to (and take heed to) opposing viewpoints, and who is also brave enough to stand tall and tell Angelenos what we both WANT and NEED to hear.

Familiar foes Cal, No. 21 USC set to square off

Longtime Pac-12 rivals will meet for the second time since heading their separate ways when 21st-ranked Southern California and Cal square off in a nonconference game Wednesday night in Berkeley, Calif. Having met twice annually as members of the same conference, the Trojans (2-0) and Golden Bears (2-1) chose to continue their intrastate battle as nonconference foes in 2024. Cal won that game 71-66 in Los Angeles. The teams did not face each other last season. USC belongs to the Big Ten, and Cal is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Both teams traveled to the Nevada side of the California border to participate in the eight-team Lake Tahoe Classic on Sunday, when USC got 32 points from Rodney Rice and 30 from Alijah Arenas in a 93-86 win over Wichita State, after Cal wasted a 19-point effort from Michael Cooper in an 86-68 loss to then-No. 10 Houston. A Trojans lineup featuring 6-foot-11 Adonis Ratliff and his 7-foot brother, Darius, could pose problems for Cal, which has yet to get its lone returning starter, center Lee Dort, in the lineup due to a leg injury. The Trojans also feature quality depth, led by KJ Lewis -- who started

“Doing the Worst Job of his Entire Career”: Barstool Podcaster Rips Into Ryan Day After Disappointing Oregon Defeat

The Ohio State Buckeyes are receiving a lot of flak after their massive 41-28 upset loss to the Oregon Ducks in Week 10 on Saturday. The defeat to Oregon, combined with a Week 9 loss to the USC Trojans, is the first time since 2011 that the Buckeyes have lost two consecutive regular-season games, which is indicative of the season they’ve had thus far. Reacting to Ohio State’s underwhelming 6-3 overall record 10 weeks into the 2026 season, Barstool Sports analyst Brandon Walker on Monday’s ‘Mostly Sports’ show expressed his disappointment with the Buckeyes’ performances and placed much of the blame on head coach Ryan Day. Walker further argued that even a potential playoff appearance would not change his assessment of the Buckeyes’ struggles this season. “Ryan Day is doing the worst job of his entire career. And well, I am not like Dave Portnoy doing the whole, bouncing up and down saying that Ryan Day is terrible; this is pretty inexcusable,” Walker said. “Even if they go to playoffs, this isn’t a very good Ohio State team,” he said. “Ryan Day is doing the worst job of his entire career” -Brandon Walker https://t.co/PQaOm0q6DQ — Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) November 9,

College Football Playoff 2026 Rankings Released Ahead of Week 11

Perhaps no result was more impactful than the Fighting Irish's victory over Miami, which now gives them a quality win to fall back on should they lose a second game. A loss to the Hurricanes after the previous loss to BYU would have put them in a difficult position without many quality wins to point to on the resume.
