• Heisler: Lakers aim for greatness, but where’s the fun?

  08-12-2018 23:31 via ocregister.com
  
  The Lakers’ return to greatness – or, at least, goodness – continues, wobbly as it is.
  The team went six games over .500 last week for the first time in six seasons. Not that it was met by rejoicing.
  In keeping with the ongoing transition from last season’s team of young prospects to next season’s with multiple superstars (they hope), there was more finger-pointing, er, focus, on which Lakers may not fit with LeBron James.

• Chargers, with Chiefs looming, try to focus on Bengals

  08-12-2018 22:37 via ocregister.com
  
  Players rarely admit they’ve glanced at what lies ahead on the NFL schedule. Some coaches take it as far as not mouthing the next opponent’s name until the week of the game arrives.
  It’s the “focus on one game at a time” mentality. That phrase was used often in the Chargers’ locker room this week.
  The Chargers host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, but they were frequently asked about next week’s game, the one that could decide the AFC West. The one that

  By ZEKE MILLER and JILL COLVIN
  WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Saturday that chief of staff John Kelly will leave his job by year’s end amid an expected West Wing reshuffling reflecting a focus on the 2020 re-election campaign and the challenge of governing with Democrats reclaiming control of the House.
  Nick Ayers, Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, is Trump’s top choice to replace Kelly, and the two have held discussions for months about the job,

  LOS ANGELES – Since 1957, when the Associated Press first began awarding a Most Valuable Player, the interpretation of what’s “most valuable” in the NFL has skewed unwaveringly toward players who consistently touch the ball.

  CHICAGO – It started as a rental, but perhaps it will end up being a lease and a purchase.
  Dante Fowler arrived in the Rams’ locker room with fairly low expectations, the product of on-field underachievement and off-field issues. In a best-case scenario, the end-turned-linebacker would boost the Rams’ relatively tame outside pass rush, then leave via free agency after the season.
  It might be time to rethink that. Fowler, after an understandably slow start, has blossomed into an
