• Chargers make major schedule changes after latest postponed NFL game

  11-10-2020 22:23
  
  The Chargers’ 2020 schedule took a drastic change Sunday after the NFL postponed the Patriots-Broncos game.
  Seven games were affected because of the postponement, including four involving the Chargers.
  The changes also pushed the Chargers’ bye week from Week 10 to Week 6. Instead of the Chargers preparing for the New York Jets following their Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints, they’ll have a week of rest.

• Rams beat Washington 30-10 on day of big plays and levity for Jared Goff

  11-10-2020 22:12
  
  The Rams have been beating eastern teams but hardly beating up on them.
  Sunday’s 30-10 win over the Washington Football Team wasn’t exactly a laugher either, but at least the Rams enjoyed some laughter on a rainy and sometimes sloppy afternoon in Landover, Md.
  Continuing to find different ways to win, the Rams improved their record to 4-1, completing a sweep of the NFC East. Washington fell to 1-4.
  Aaron Donald and Troy Reeder provided the defense. The defensive tackle and the backup

  Examples of how California’s one-party rule has us sliding ever closer to third world status become more frequent with every passing week.
  From a governor who issues a sweeping executive order banning gasoline powered vehicles to record levels of poverty and rampant homelessness, it is now difficult to distinguish much of California from Venezuela.

  Chargers general manager Tom Telesco told Justin Herbert on the phone he was going to be patient with him after selecting Herbert with the No. 6 overall pick in April’s draft.
  Chargers coach Anthony Lynn put that patient plan in place by naming Tyrod Taylor the starter before the season. He wanted Herbert to watch and learn the same way Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes did in his rookie season.

  LAKE CHARLES, La. — First, Hurricane Laura roared ashore with its staggering, 150 mph winds. Then Hurricane Delta followed, with less wind but with ferocious downpours. The two back-to-back hurricanes in the space of six weeks have left this pocket of southwest Louisiana blanketed with tarpaulins, debris and flooded streets — but not despair.

That includes schoolkids who struggle in the best of times, but are particularly underwater during the pandemic, when their motel room might have to double as a class room and class might require technology they can&rsquo
