By Joe Torosian Kick it! Before I dive into the Rams and NFL, go Ole Miss. Great game, but I find premeditated F-Bombs lame. Rams win tonight 29-23. It’s close for a while, but the ability to run the ball makes the difference, and no one will be impressed. Proclamations will continue about the sky […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I’m taking the Rams on Monday Night… though I have the advantage of posting another FanView on Monday—before kickoff. Note: I predicted Buffalo would beat Detroit, 35-17…and with 10:54 to play in the fourth, the Bills led 34-17…and then things got out of hand.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Does anyone still listen to Dodger games on the radio? I tried to today. It seems odd—I’m not complaining—that the music used to open Sunday Night Football (Joan Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You”) was released in 1988, and the Monday Night Football music lead-in was Phil Collins’ “In […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! On my car radio in Los Angeles, I can pick up four sports talk stations: ESPN 710 & 830, Fox 570, and 97.1 (FM) The Fan. On the way to work Sunday Morning…the ESPN affiliates were running the Los Angeles Angels game, and 570 was broadcasting the Dodgers pregame. None of […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! It’s funny how on Thursday you think the whole world revolves around you and your favorite football team…and by Monday morning it’s just another story. I want to thank Steve Sarkisian, Holly Rowe, the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator for taking the […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! About last night…It was worse than the chicken at Tresky’s. Oh well, life goes on. Fog City kicked the Rams’ butt…and I wish they had run up the score.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Was that a boring game last night? I’m not down with starting the season on a Wednesday night, but I wasn’t bored. As I’ve aged, I appreciate every NFL game I see. There’s always something to learn, something to see, and it’s pure competition and struggle. I love it.

By Joe Torosian Kick it!I want to be excited about USC…someone give me a reason to be excited… Locally, I will never get into the Smudge Pot (San Dimas-Bonita) being played in early September.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Since seconds are counted in Michigan the way votes are in Los Angeles… there’s always more to be found…I searched for how the Western Michigan-Michigan final affected bettors. Someone who made a $100 bet on Western Michigan to win…lost $2,000 thanks to that extra tick given to the Wolverines…
