• Rams 2019 NFL draft needs: Depleted offensive line could use some help

  18-04-2019 23:08
  
  As Sean McVay turned a hapless mess of an offense into a machine-like juggernaut over the past two seasons, the Rams wunderkind coach was fortunate to have unprecedented consistency along the offensive line.
  At the outset of Year 3, however, that’s no longer the case up front. Two of the Rams’ most consistent veteran linemen from a year ago have moved on, leaving the offense to count on two inexperienced interior linemen in their place. How McVay chooses to fill those holes up front

• UCLA football hopes extra practice fortifies pass rush

  18-04-2019 22:14
  
  LOS ANGELES — Every practice for five weeks, UCLA defensive linemen repeatedly ran through the same circuit of drills every morning. They smacked tackling dummies, high-stepped over cones and rushed at a grad assistant pretending to be a quarterback … then did it all over again the next day.
  The Bruins, tied for the fewest sacks in the Pac-12 last year, hope the extra practice produces a much-needed pass rush.

  18-04-2019 20:03
  
  I’ve never enjoyed Brussels Bistro in Laguna Beach. The subterranean Belgium-themed restaurant that opened 15 years ago on Forest Avenue has always felt to me to be more of basement dive bar or nightclub than a serious restaurant. 
  Sure, the mussels were good. The pork shank, too. But the restaurant always had that moldy spilled beer smell that goes along with a dank basement dive bar. So in February when I heard Brussels Bistro had opened a new location on Avenida del Mar in San Clem
