  • ·  Talk show host in Los Angeles for 15 years.

    ·  Twice named “Los Angeles’ Best Sports-Talk Show Host” by the Los Angeles Daily News.

    ·  Covered every team in the L.A. area and did pre and post game shows for the Dodgers and UCLA sports.

    ·  Broke the story about Shaq coming to the Lakers in 1996 and also broke the story about UCLA basketball coach Jim Harrick getting fired in 1997. Both stories were picked up by CNN and the local CBS station sent crews for an interview.

    ·  Was a high school all-state basketball player, also played in college and was a high school coach for five years.

    ·  Was once picked up in the air by a playful Shaq and lifted over his head after I ripped him on the air one day.

    ·  Run the most successful sports website in Los Angeles, TheSportsgod.com, where I write a column every day, handicap games and have a staff of writers contributing once per week. It’s like picking up a sportspage every morning.

    ·  I’m best known for being opinionated and “bringing it” everyday, which has me in trouble most of the time. My motto is “It’s better to have an opinion and be wrong than not to have an opinion.”

    ·  I’ve been chased out of most local locker rooms by angry athletes after things I’ve said on the radio.

    ·  I once said on the air that new Monday Night Football sideline reporter Lisa Guerrero was “only in the business because she was pretty” and she actually found me one day at Staples Center and went off. She was furious and told me off for about five minutes. She demanded an apology and I told her I’d give ger one if she could point out one thing I said which wasn’t true. She stormed off, never to speak to me again. Somehow, my career managed to continue, despite that devastating setback!

    ·  My nickname is “The Sportsgod,” because of my supposed knowledge of sports and uncanny ability to predict games and the point spreads!

    ·  I immediately hang up on any caller who refers to a team as “us” or “we.” Whenever a caller says “We won,” I correct him and say, “No, THEY won. You watched.”

  • The View From The Beach July 13, 2010
    Some thoughts… I admit that, as a guy who has bashed soccer unmercifully for years, I actually bought into the World Cup this year. I thought that after the United States team bowed out I would lose all interest, but the level of play was pretty good and I followed the […]
  • The View From The Beach July 9, 2010
    Some thoughts… In the aftermath of LeBron James’ decision to go to Miami , the owner of his former team, the Clevelan Cadavers (yes, they are dead again), Dan Gilbert, issued a statement so over the top bitter I couldn’t believe it. Gilbert ripped The Princess about James’ narcissistic and self serving […]
  • The View From The Beach July 7, 2010
    Some thoughts… Okay, let’s say you are being wooed by different companies because you’ve proven to be one of the best in your field. You’re available because, frankly, you’ve outgrown your present company and they can’t afford you. You feel a sense of loyalty, yes, but you have to think […]
  • A View From the Obstructed Seats July 13, 2010
    The best, sure-fire, fail-safe method of assuring that you hit the bullseye every time you fire a rifle is to shoot at a blank wall, THEN draw the target around the bullet-hole. I think about that every time I read or hear the after-the-fact excuses that people are still making for LeBron James every time […]
  • A View From the Obstructed Seats by Paul Cass June 24, 2010
    It took the Lakers winning the NBA title to awaken me from my dogmatic slumbers. Sweet revenge, made all the more sweet by the un-Lakerlike way they had to perform to win at the end. I’d ordinarily not care particularly who the unfortunate opponent was, but I have to admit that the Celts’ loss gave […]
  • View From the Obstructed Seats by Paul Cass March 6, 2010
    Great hockey game to end the 2010 Winter Olympics. That Team USA was not only in it to OT, but easily could have won, proves again two of the age-old truisms about the sport: (1) a hot goalie is the great equalizer; (2) a conditioned, committed hard-working team on which everyone knows and plays his […]
  • USA Basketball Experienced a Unique Brand of 3×3 August 29, 2010
    By Seth Rubinroit Reporting from Singapore- Three-on-three basketball is very common on playgrounds in America, but the United States boys’ basketball team was still very surprised when they arrived in Singapore for the inaugural Youth Olympic Games. “It is way different than anything I have played basketball-wise,” said center Kyle Caudill. “It is not like […]

The flag-football game included legendary NFL players competing against Hollywood stars. Below are quotes accumulated just before the Pigskin Pro-Am from NFL legends answering football’s biggest […]
  • Samaki Walker on the Shaq-Kobe Feud August 13, 2010
    By Seth Rubinroit In 2001-2002, the Los Angeles Lakers were on top of the world. Led by Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, the Lakers swept the New Jersey Nets in the NBA Finals. Two seasons later, however, the team was broken up when O’Neal was traded to the Miami Heat. Power forward Samaki Walker was […]
