• What football coaching shakeups are in USC’s future?

  28-12-2019 23:50 via ocregister.com
  
  SAN DIEGO — USC’s season-ending loss to Iowa in the Holiday Bowl felt at times like a compilation of the Trojans’ yearlong weaknesses.
  The Hawkeyes gashed the USC defense on the edges with regularity, and scored five offensive touchdowns with little-to-no resistance. To add insult to injury, Iowa added a kickoff return TD on its way to its 49-24 victory.
  USC fell to 8-5 on the season, the final loss the Trojans’ most lopsided bowl defeat since the 1948 Rose Bowl. But with

• Philip Rivers sounds like he wants to play next season – but will it be with the Chargers?

  28-12-2019 23:18 via ocregister.com
  
  KANSAS CITY — It’s time to listen to Philip Rivers. He’s been dropping hints the past month.
  Rivers wants to continue playing football. Those were his words, and his words have grown stronger with every retirement question he’s received in recent news conferences.
  The Chargers’ 38-year-old quarterback is capable of playing a 17th NFL season physically and emotionally, and he can do it at a high level. Again, his words.
  He feels that deep down – so stop asking.

  He approached LeBron James and talked with him for a minute after he finished shooting 3-pointers, letting him know: Clint Parks, who has trained with Kuzma, had fired off Instagram stories making unflattering comparisons between James and Kawhi Leonard.

  LOS ANGELES — Dante Fowler Jr. is like a lot of Rams players, going into the last game of 2019 on Sunday confident he has earned a rich new contract and hoping his team will be the one to give it to him.
  He isn’t naive, but he’s an optimist.
