  LOS ANGELES — In the days before facing Arizona, USC’s coaches were asked how they might contend with the Wildcats’ high-scoring offense.
  Both Coach Clay Helton and offensive coordinator Tee Martin pointed to their own unit.

• Derek Grant has been unusually productive for the Ducks this season

  05-11-2017 05:29 via ocregister.com
  
  SAN JOSE – His first goal in the NHL came after 93 games spread among five teams over five seasons. The next one arrived just over 43 minutes of action later.
  And that breakthrough game against Montreal in itself is a feel-good moment for Derek Grant, who’s often tried to stick in the league and is doing so right now for the Ducks. But there’s been more. Much more.
  Grant’s first month has seen him make the club out of training camp, play in all 14 games at center from the

  DEL MAR – It was a two-horse race Saturday, Gun Runner holding off the extended charge of Collected to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
  The presence of a fading giant, however, made it a three-horse story, Arrogate finishing his career in a dead heat – according to official race photos – for fifth place, as if anyone wants a picture to remember that.
  “He’s just losing interest,” trainer Bob Baffert said of the horse not long ago being compared to the sport

  Perhaps nothing has been more ironic than the canonization of respectable, moderate-seeming Republicans. People like Mitt Romney and the Bush family, once castigated as practitioners of unmitigated greed or even Hitlerian fascists, have suddenly become laudable in the mainstream media.
  In this environment, even the perhaps rightly named Jeff Flake, whose popularity in his state was a rousing 18 percent, or Tennessee’s Bob Corker, now get praise from Democrats largely because they revile Do
