Halo Friendlies
The Register reports that an "expert" testifying for the Angels contends that attendance jumped 45 percent after the Halos won the 2002 World Series, which is meant to bolster the argument in favor of letting the team keep calling itself the LOS ANGELES Angels of Anaheim, Cucamonga and the Lower Mississippi. Um, okay, but was it not the ANAHEIM Angels who won that series? Or was it all just a dream? And could you not find similar correlations between former sucky teams who'd just won a World Ser
February 6, 2006Wednesday's Headlines & Surprises: Total Idiot
Fatal Femmes! In the July 30 issue of Time, Sean Gregory reports on the Fatal Femmes Fighting Championship for all-female mixed-martial arts caged combat. Need I say more? Well, okay. In an enjoyable read based on the event in a Compton casino earlier this month, Gregory describes the brutality and “the raucous Femmes crowd, an eclectic, testosterone-heavy mix of bachelor-party drunks, white-collar MMA fans and even a few young girls, ooohed every choke hold and kick to the face.” These fig
July 25, 2007Thursday's Headlines & Surprises: Dana caught a wave!
Where Do Broken Hearts Go? Orange County, it seems. This week singer Robert Barisford Brown—better known as Bobby Brown--filed suit against his wife, Whitney Houston, in OC Superior Court. His grievance? She won’t let him see his 14-year-old daughter. Why file in OC? Brown, 38, claims Houston, 44, moved here for her latest attempt at drug rehabilitation and is living large at his expense in some “posh” hotel. (Montage?!?!) Not sure how far the case will go. A judge has already given Hou

February 7, 2002Ladies and gentlemen, your Orange County 49ers!
A story from my past came flooding back as I read Cyd Zeigler's Jock Talk Blog post riffing on a Forbes report that raised the possibility of the 49ers leaving San Francisco for the OC. Bernie Mullin, who runs the Atlanta-based Aspire Group, an industry consultant, tells Forbes Frisco, Buffalo and Minnesota are NFL teams that may leave their towns in a couple seasons for greener pastures in Las Vegas or Orange County. That got me thinking to several years ago, when I attended a Monday Night

That is, all teams are except one. Ladies and gentlemen, your Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim! Reports Forbes: Clubs poised for post-season play have learned a lesson from the e
