'I hate this place': Pat McAfee said he felt unsafe on 'College GameDay' after a Utah video mocked his antics. Meme suggesting the former NFL punter's complaints are "soft" catches fire. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
Luke Bryan's son Bo's committing to Georgia is latest superstar scion to give football a shot. Remember the sons of Snoop, Diddy, Bon Jovi and Mellencamp playing DI back in the day? OK, so they didn't play much. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
Former Rams great Marshall Faulk shares Parkinson’s diagnosis, hopes to help others. Faulk took the head coaching job at HBCU Southern University after he learned of his disease, and the team is better for his presence. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
LeBron James' eventful 76ers debut at MSG: jousting with Knicks fans, defending his use of a helicopter, spoiling ring night. Spike Lee played a role. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
Racing legend Fred Lorenzen becomes the first known NASCAR driver diagnosed with CTE. 1965 Daytona 500 champ had dementia for two decades but CTE diagnosis had to wait until his brain could be studied upon his death. He had Stage 3, heightening concern among other drivers. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
Lots of questions raised in the wake of this crime. Almost $1 million in rare sports and Pokémon cards were stolen from a FedEx truck in Santa Ana outside PSA. Who is responsible for making the card owners whole? latimes.com/sports/story/202…
Achilles tear abruptly ends Ben Simmons' comeback with the Sac Kings. So many injuries, three full seasons missed already, it's going to be tough to return again although he's only 30. Simmons also seemed ready to play for the Australian national team for the first time. Now that's shelved. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
USC and UCLA could benefit as College Football Playoff nears 24-team expansion. Neither has made the CFP but often hover in the bottom half of the rankings. Beginning next year that could be enough to get in. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
Gymnastics coach who filmed naked girls in Mississippi bathroom sentenced to 90 years in prison. Mug shots below show how different he looks after a few years of alleged pedo activity and realizing he's busted. latimes.com/sports/story/202…

Agree with my son, Taylor…@MLB
Hey @MLB - wanna get more kids watching baseball?
Maybe start with the commercials.
Watching the playoffs tonight with my kids and here's the rundown:
- Megan Fox selling ED pills in a red bodysuit
- The scariest movie trailer you've ever seen
- Sydney Sweeney in zero clothes promoting betting on sports
Leagues can't figure out why kids don't watch.
You don't need a Nickelodeon game. You're not the Savannah Bananas.
Just show baseball in a way I can leave on in my house.
Two men charged in shooting of 49ers’ Keion White at a Super Bowl party involving rapper Lil Baby and strippers. Team effort by law enforcement conducting a probe they dubbed "Operation D-Line" latimes.com/sports/story/202…
Tyreek Hill could face NFL discipline after civil jury found him liable on 2 of 10 domestic violence claims. The Chiefs are interested in reuniting with the 5-time All-Pro WR, the league could suspend him if he signs. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
Suspension likely for Rams tackle Alaric Jackson for punching Bills’ Bradley Chubb after loss. This is the least egregious of Jackson's three publicly known temper outbursts, but it does add one more hurdle to the Rams' attempt to meet expectations. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
It takes something egregious for Magic Johnson to express disappointment or dismay on social media. How about 'Total disbelief': Magic issued a rare rebuke over Commanders’ ridiculous final play in overtime clock mismanagement. He owns 4% of the team. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
Bob Fontaine Jr., a legendary scout with six teams who drafted the Angels' 2002 championship core, dies at 73. Drafted Ozzie Smith, Tony Gwynn and Randy Johnson in addition to a host of Angels. And a great storyteller to boot! latimes.com/sports/story/202…
LSU reduced a football player’s punishment for rape. Now the D.A. is investigating. And Lane Kiffin can't be blamed for any of it. latimes.com/sports/story/202…

Mike Tomlin’s 'Minecraft' city is going viral — and at least one former Steelers player is incredulous. Got to admit A Minecraft Movie was entertaining in a Jack Black sort of way. Crazy that the game captured Tomlin's attention like it did. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
NASCAR gets somewhat serious, suspends owner Chad Bryant, crew member suspended indefinitely for attacking rising star Corey Heim at Martinsville. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
Hot mic catches Sacramento Kings reporters calling Ben Simmons ‘cringe’ and Zach LaVine ‘hella fine.’ . . Reasonably savvy media folks should be way more aware than they seem to be. Hot mics will trigger cold shoulders. latimes.com/sports/story/202…
