It is unlawful for any person to cast, toss, throw, kick or roll any ball, tube or light object other than a beach ball or volleyball upon or over any beach in Los Angeles County.

In the 22 of 36 Bowl, more commonly called the 2012 AFC Championship Game, the New England Patriots survive a 4th Quarter scare by the Baltimore Ravens.
Both Quarterbacks were 22 of 36 passing on the day and Raven QB Joe Flacco had better stats than QB Tom Brady but it is the Pats who advance to the Super Bowl.
4th quarter Raven blunders included the likely game-winning dropped touchdown in the endzone with seconds left in the game.
And who can forget the botched field goal by ultra-reliable kicker William “Billy” Cundiff.
Though the Ravens had fewer turnovers, held the ball longer, outpassed and outran the Patriots they failed in the most important category of all, outscoring the opponent.
When it mattered most, zero fourth quarter points scored send the Baltimore Ravens and Ray Lewis home on a mad plane ride.
The winningest college football coach of all time, Joe Paterno died today at 85.
JoePa suffered in his final 2 months on Earth from lung cancer, broken bones and more importantly a broken heart, once his good name, college and football life was abruptly taken from him.
Not fired but killed by the board of trustees. How well will the Penn State Board of Trustees sleep tonight?
Honor, ethics and education.
“ I feel that the board made a bad decision in letting Joe Paterno go. I’m very disappointed in their decision.
I thought they showed no courage, not to back someone who really needed it at the time.” – Franco Harris
RIP great football coach. Joe Paterno made Penn State a better place.

Spain has made it to their First World Cup Final. The Spain defense controlled the entire game and shut down the high powered Germany blitzkrieg offense.
Amazingly, Germany never threatened during the entire game.
Congratulations to Espana. They were the better side on that day of the semifinal. The reigning European Champions dismantled a quality Deutschland squad.
The Final should be a good one versus a talented Netherlands squad. Hope to see Holland push the ball up the field unlike Germany vs Spain.
The game winner was scored in the 73rd minute on a set play off a corner kick, by Carles Puyol.
After the game both the German coach and leading scorer Klose admitted that Spain was simply the better team.
Holland has won their semifinal match versus a game Uruguay squad in chilly Cape Town, South Africa.
The Netherlands dynamic duo of Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder overpowered Uruguay’s captain Diego Forlan. Noticably absent was Luis Suarez, serving his one game suspension for a red card on his ” Hand of Suarez ” play.
Perhaps the best goal of the 2010 World Cup was Giovanni van Bronckhorst in minute 17. His rocket shot from 30 meters just found the opening in the top right net.
Holland was cruising up 3-1 when in the 91st minute Uruguay scored a second goal, for a very brief time keping their dream alive. but it was Holland’s day and they advance to an all European Final.
We won yet again with the Netherlands as our Lock of the semifinals; having already won our Locks of the 3 group stage games, Round of 16, and Quarterfinals. A perfect 6-0 ATS. Winning’s fun.
Holland advances to the 2010 World Cup Finals. Congratulations Oranje.
Paul, the psychic octopus, picked Spain as the winner over Germany in the World Cup semi-final.
The famous mollusk from Oberhausen chose a mussel from a glass tank marked with a Spanish flag, rather than the one with the German flag, indicating a Spanish victory.
The eight-legged oracle has been 100 percent predicting Germany’s World Cup games, including Serbia’s win in the group stage.
And the speed with which Paul the psychic octopus took to prophesize the result means he is pretty sure Spain will win.
