           Watching these 2 quarterbacks fighting for their lives on MNF just underlines how relatively clean the Rams’ whole operation has been around Matthew Stafford this season.

             Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are out tonight when the Lakers play the 7th of 8 games in 13 days, including 3 separate road trips. The NBA just refuses to end its demented scheduling practices.

             LAFC sweeps Austin out of the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs. The good news is they avoid a third game. The bad news is they don’t have another match until their one-game showdown with Vancouver on Nov. 22 or 23. The MLS playoff concept remains kinda crazy.

             Make that 23 combined goals in 11 1/2 matches together for Son & Bouanga. That’s exactly 1 goal per half! This is not normal in any way! Something wild is happening here! 
           Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga both score in the 1st half tonight for LAFC in Austin. They’ve now combined for 22 goals in the 12 matches they’ve played together. These are silly numbers!

             Jared Verse thought he had missed the team meeting Saturday, but then he found the guys in another room watching the Dodgers: "Watching them be able to dominate like that, get that win, bring that World Series back to LA, it gets us hyped up. And now we know we've gotta be next.”

             Jared Verse on the Rams' defense, which has allowed 20 points combined in the last 3 games: "We play how we want to play. We want to go out there & dominate, we can go out there & dominate. ... (The Saints) ain't really earn any points. Anything they got, we gave to them."
