What a weekend! Galaxy win MLS Cup, Rams beat Bills, Kings beat NHL-leading Wild, UCLA hoops wins at Oregon on late 3, Dodgers avoid Soto, oh and UCLA men’s water polo wins its 13th NCAA title, beating USC to become first Big Ten team to ever win a men’s water polo championship.

Championship No. 6! Let’s go! #Galaxy #Since96

Another terrible loss for the Lakers. This team's lack of focus and fundamentals is mind-boggling.

As much as I'd want this call to go the Lakers' way, this cannot have been the spirit of the replay rule. Reminds me of a base stealer being called out when his foot is off the bag for a millisecond but otherwise maintains contact. #Lakers

Another lazy pass ... in overtime ... up by one point ... SMDH #Lakers

The Lakers can talk all the want about accountability and how it all starts with the players, but their sleepwalking tendencies are so atrociously frustrating in the throes of a close game. Is consistent effort and focus really that difficult to maintain or have they already tuned out the new coach?

The loss of Riqui Puig for MLS Cup is one of more disappointing developments in my sports fandom heading into a championship game. Galaxy will need to dig deep, but I think they can do it. #LAGalaxy

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)β€”on the FIRST take.

It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨

Incredible that neither of the announcers on Georgia-Georgia Tech would even mention the possibility of a helmet-to-helmet hit or targeting on that fumble. It was clear on the replay, but ...

I have no horse in the game, but it sure looked like the Georgia defender led with his helmet and caused that fumble. Targeting?

Bears are going to get better, but man would it be tough to be a fan of theirs right now with that end-of-game management.

It makes my stomach turn every time the Kings win at home and "Hollywood Nights" blares over the arena speakers instead of "I Love L.A." ... this is my crusade. #LAKings

You just knew that after that abomination in San Jose on Monday night, the Kings were bound to play this way against the best team in the league. #LAKings

The inconsistency in effort and the stretches of passionless hockey baffle me. Especially when you see it against bottom-feeders.

What a pathetic performance by your Los Angeles Kings.

I just need to realize the Rams were nothing but an illusion this season. Some great moments sure, but an extremely flawed team that has a lot to fix. And with Stafford potentially gone at the end of any season, it's going to be uphill for a while. #Rams

In a game of needing to make plays in big moments, the Rams seem incapable of that tonight. #Rams

Rams tackles are just getting manhandled tonight. It's tough to watch. #Rams

Rams looked unstoppable on the first two drives. And then... oof!
