Since there’s a little bit of everything to talk about in L.A, let’s get to it:
– Giving the Kings their recognition for current playoff success
– Possible candidates to fill the Lakers coaching vacancy
– The Dodgers: what we know and what we can actually see
As some of you guys know, I also do another podcast called “The Angone and Ko Show” or “The AKS Podcast” for short. Here’s our latest one, where we talked some Lakers and Dodgers:
In Episode 6, Angone and Ko review the biggest stories in the LA sports scene:
– Reviewing the Lakers first two games against the Clippers and Warriors (First impressions, outlook on the rest of the season)
– Reviewing the Dodgers season, looking at which Dodger free-agents should be resigned, what free-agents in the market the Dodgers should look the sign, and what to do with Clayton Kershaw’s contract situation (11:55)

Rise and shine folks: THE #NBA IS FINALLY BACK!
After arguably the most disappointing season in it’s entire history, the #Lakers are finally back to kick off the 2013-2014 NBA regular season tonight! With a roster full of new faces, and the franchise headed in a completely different direction, just how ARE these Lakers going to be? Will they make any trades? If they DO make moves, WHO will be traded? And, of course, the question everyone wants to know the answer to: can these Lakers actually make the playoffs?

Alexis Normand makes America laugh with a frown on
Here are some things you should know before you watch Alexis Normand (kind of) sing the National Anthem:
– This took place in Canada.
– Alexis Normand had to sing the national anthems for both the United States and Canada (she did much better in the latter).
My favorite moments:
– #20 on the far left just putting his head down and laughing his ass off (0:49)
– #13 looking around as if he’s like “Does anybody else realize that this is really happening..?” (0:51)
– THE ENTIRE FREAKING VIDEO. This is one of the best “messed-up national anthems” in recent history and completely blows what Christina Aguilera mess up at the Super Bowl out of the water.
Manny Ramirez and the Chinese Professional Baseball League
It’s old news that Manny Ramirez has been playing baseball in the Chinese Professional Baseball League, but it’s the fact that Manny Ramirez keeps giving us moments those “Manny being Manny” moments that keeps him relevant. As a Dodgers fan, I’ll never forget how he single-handedly turned the Dodgers into a contender in the National League. As a baseball fan, I’ll never forget how he single-handedly ruined a career that was headed straight to the hall of fame.
Ladies and gentlemen, here are two beautiful examples of Manny being Manny… in Taiwan. You can also take these as two beautiful examples of why Manny is being Manny in Taiwan, and not in the states.

Metta World Peace does weather (and it’s actually funny this time)
We’ve seen Metta World Peace do weather before, but I personally wasn’t a huge fan of it. It’s not that I have anything against Metta – I think he’s one of the most enjoyable personalities in the NBA. But in terms of content, it just wasn’t that funny.
Now this… This is funny:
Some memorable quotes:
“Yo Devin… I got 5 on it baby.”
“It’s, um, 72 degrees on Saturday, it’s 77 degrees Sunday, 80 on Monday, and ya’ll know the rest. Just read. If you can’t read, go to school.”

Tommy Lasorda + PSY = ______________
Now what in God’s name is exactly the answer to that equation?
Well… this:
The product of the video itself is absolute gold because of Lasorda’s hilarious reaction (or lack of a reaction).
It’s a Whole New Blue in Los Angeles folks.
