Kick it!

…And here comes West Covina.

Do you realize Monrovia’s defense has 18 interceptions on the season, by 13 different players…

Travesty of Fate Department; San Gabriel’s Joseph Mayorga has rushed over 700 yards and six touchdowns. He’s caught passes for over 700 yards and eight touchdowns. He’s also returned a kick-off for a touchdown…Quarterback Marcus Valenzuela has 20 touchdown passes and nearly 3,000 yards through the air…And SG is only 2-7 (3-6) on the field.

How much does it cost to play the Turkey Tussle at the Rose Bowl?

It’s not trendy to say right now, but don’t count out South Pasadena against San Marino this week.

The last time Gabrielino beat Arroyo, Joe Gonzalez was the Knights quarterback. Good baseball player.

Can we get a note from David Ramos or Frank Gallardo on who was the Bell Gardens linebacker was that made the play at the goal line against San Gabriel on the final play Friday night? Stories are conflicting.

Anxious for thoughts out of La Verne about the Bearcats.

Nothing but love for Burroughs, but it tells you what kind of season it’s been in the Pacific when they could still be alive for a playoff spot…Of course all they have to do is beat Burbank and have Arcadia lose to Crescenta Valley.

Not saying it’s bad, not saying it’s good, but fullback Nick Gott seems to be San Marino’s go to receiver.

Sort of underwhelmed by Nordhoff and Bishop Diego on Saturday night.

They had Northwest size, but not necessarily Northwest speed. Both teams were quick and ferocious going to the ball. On the other hand, and maybe because it was a rivalry game, they were sloppy. Real sloppy. Stupid penalties and lots of turnovers.

They have enough talent to beat anybody in the southern end of the division, but they make the mistakes they did on Saturday night and a team like North Torrance will rip them apart.

Mortal…They’re mortal, I’m not saying beatable.

I love fantasy football…and I have always been a fan.

James Harden, recently traded from Oklahoma City to Houston, should have taken a lesser deal to stay with the Thunder. With the Rockets he’s going to be an extremely rich guy for a middle of the road team. With OKC, and for slightly less in millions, he could have been playing for a title and relevant for the next ten years.

Speaking of baseball did we mention that Arroyo’s Brandon Jauregui had transfered to South Hills?

So the Dodgers get flashy new ownership, they spend all the money, and the San Francisco Giants win the World Series…

Not Colorado, not Texas, not Kansas City or Milwaukee…the San Francisco Giants.

So as I’m watching the Rams play the Patriots in London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday, I thought it was interesting that the “Assassins Creed III” video game commercial kept popping up.

You might not know about the video game, but you might recognize the ad. It’s the one that shows all of the British redcoats being killed in the Revolutionary War…And it was being shown repeatedly while the NFL is playing a football game in England.

Wow…time to sing “God Save the Queen”…

Note to Lane Kiffin: Can you please lose another Pac 12 game, I would really like to see Marquis Lee play in the Holiday Bowl this year.

You want to see the best title bout and not have to pay hundreds of dollars for tickets? In fact, I can get you tickets to this week’s heavy weight showdown that promises to be a fight to the finish. It will be filled with spills, thrills, and chills, for 48 minutes. Truly it will be  a show with everything but Yul Brynner.

And it will only cost you seven bucks…(SAY WHAT?)…I said will only cost you seven bucks…

Last Add World Series: Is somebody going to tell me that the Giants are a “moneyball” team?

Note to James Harden: A lot of good players got their dough and are now forgotten. Michael Cooper took less to remain with the Lakers and ended up with five rings. History is full of players no one remembers because they chose one over the other.

Last Add Seven Bucks: In one corner it will be South El Monte, in the other El Monte…I’m betting you won’t see anything better this year…Outside of a “Walking Dead” season finale.

The Dude abides…
