  INGLEWOOD — Trey Pipkins III shifted from right guard to right tackle to replace Joe Alt, who was sidelined by a knee injury for the Chargers’ 17-10 loss Sunday to the Kansas City Chiefs. Sam Mustipher was summoned from the practice squad to start at right guard to take the place of Pipkins.
  Jamaree Salyer took the place of left tackle Rashawn Slater, who couldn’t play because of a pectoral muscle injury. Zion Johnson and Bradley Bozeman remained in their spots as left guard an

  INGLEWOOD – Respect.
  Such was the theme of Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh’s post-loss news conference Sunday: Respect for his team, banged up and short-handed, for pushing the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas Chiefs.
  Respect for those get-’er-done Chiefs, who took the lead for the first and final time with 6:04 left in the fourth quarter of their 17-10 victory, improving to 4-0 this season and extending their winning streak as guests of the Chargers to 11 games &ndash

• Rafael Perez: George Gascón’s arrogance is finally catching up to him

  30-09-2024 03:52 via ocregister.com
  
  It’s not looking good for George Gascón. The results of the primary and recent polls show he’s likely to be unseated as Los Angeles County District by Nathan Hochman. Much of it is his fault: he has demonstrated a lack of common sense and poor leadership skills.
  In a recent interview of Gascón that I participated in along with members of the editorial board for this publication, Gascón appeared to be on the defensive the entire time. He didn’t take responsi

  ARCADIA  – Bouncing back from bad efforts to score stakes victories at Santa Anita on Sunday, two horses vaulted all the way into the Breeders’ Cup conversation.
  But that conversation is likely to go quite differently for the handlers of Straight No Chaser, front-running winner of the $200,000, Grade II Santa Anita Sprint Championship Stakes with jockey John Velazquez, and Sugar Fish, come-from-behind winner of the $200,000, Grade II Zenyatta Stakes for fillies and mares with Ty

  With the explosion of fentanyl and other powerful opioids, drug overdoses have become the leading cause of death for Californians aged 15-44.
  Substance abuse disproportionately impacts California’s homeless population, which has grown nearly 60% over the last ten years, even as it has decreased in most other states. California has seen retail theft spike as accountability for non-violent crime has waned and as some have turned to theft to fund their addictions.  This has not only

  CHICAGO – For the historical weight of the moment, it was a pretty innocuous play.
  Backed up to their own 11 in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 24-18 loss to the Chicago Bears, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford sent running back Kyren Williams in motion to the left. After the snap, Stafford slung it out to the back for a screen pass in the flat.
  Williams went 5 yards and failed to pick up a first down. But with that short gain, Stafford passed Eli Manning for the 10th most passing yar

  LOS ANGELES – It was just another Tuesday practice in the middle of Red Mountain’s season, and wide receivers coach Diego Hernandez had no possibility to prepare for the show Ja’Kobi Lane unfolded before his very eyes.
  He ran a simple out route, Hernandez remembered, his spindly limbs arriving to his destination before his quarterback could deliver. The ball arrived late, as Lane was already creeping towards the sidelines. So the kid threw his hands behind his back, toe-tapped

  CHICAGO – Down two possessions in the fourth quarter, the Rams were in Chicago Bears territory. Second-and-10, the opportunity to get into the red zone and cut into the lead.
  Lined up in pistol, quarterback Matthew Stafford faked a handoff to running back Kyren Williams. Seeing backup center Beaux Limmer getting beat by his man, Williams stayed inside to help out. But that allowed blitzing defensive back Jaquan Brisker to come unchecked into the backfield for a sack. A short throw later, t

  During my 20 years in public service, I have had two goals: to be the voice of the people and to fight corruption and wastefulness. Sadly, there has been no shortage of work to do on the latter.
