  Forgive me Chargers fans who would prefer a cakewalk, but what I want is a down-to-the-wire instant classic, edge-of-our-couch-cushion sports distraction at its finest.
  I’d like to see C.J. Stroud, the Houston Texans’ slumping sophomore quarterback from Rancho Cucamonga, rediscover the magic of his rookie year and sprinkle it all over the field at NRG Stadium.

  I always did my best to promote the brand, and it worked out well for both of us.

  In the last few days, Los Angeles has experienced what may become the most expensive and destructive wildfire catastrophe in U.S. history. Entire communities in Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Pasadena, and Altadena have been decimated, with at least ten lives lost and thousands of structures reduced to rubble.
