RAMS BALL! RAMS BALL! SPORTS BALL! Aaron Donald brings the suffocating pressure and forces the throw from Jimmy G. Travin Howard with the big interception to put a nail in things. #SFvsLAR
*exhales for the next 45 minutes*
The Rams are going to the Super Bowl, folks.
Sure, game stats are fun. But what about mascot attributes? Choose your fighter. #SFvsLAR
These very cool horn-havers are going to the Super Bowl. #SFvsLAR
This musty mascot gets to hit the golf course tomorrow! Cash in the gold dust, get a new set of clubs. #SFvsLAR
Fun fact: Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is the first teenager to bring his team to 2 Super Bowls. #SFvsLAR
Oh, just in case you needed a reminder. The Rams have home field advantage for the Super Bowl. If memory serves, that worked out pretty well for the last guys. #SFvsLAR
And your LAist MVP for the NFC Championship game is....Cooper Kupp! The league's top wideout tossed the team on his back, surprising no one and snagging both scores for the Rams in a winning effort. #SFvsLAR

For the record:
Even if they benefit the Rams!
Cooper Kupp keeps on being Cooper Kupp. To quote @atmosphere, take a look around, do we seem surprised? Another TD for the league's best receiver, Rams pull within 3. 17-14 SF with plenty of time left in the 4th.

Hi folks! Welcome to another LAist cartoon takeover for today's NFC Championship game! Stay with us for live visuals from the ever-talented @AlborzK and occasionally novel observations from @SamBensonSmith. But first, some stadium history from @KPCCsharon laist.com/news/los-angel…
As @TroyAikman just said, it all comes down to the quarterbacks. Take a peek at these photorealistic renderings of Matt Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo ahead of kickoff.
Matt Stafford:
The Good: 4 TDs, 0 INT, 131.5 passer rating, 74.5% completion percentage in 2022 playoffs.
The Bad: 0.400 playoff winning percentage (should not be a QB stat but we needed something negative)
The Ugly: Enjoys "stealing [people's] soul[s]" ()

If you're confused about vaccine rollout here's a handy timeline ~~~~

Jan 12: CDC recommends opening first tier of vaccine efforts to all seniors (65+).

Jan 13 morning: Gov. Newsom says cool, CA is gonna do that.
Jan 13 afternoon: LA County says, hold up we don't have enough vaccine. We aren't even finished vaccinating health workers. We'll aim for 65+ in February. Hold your horses, everyone.

Jan 18, LA County Supervisor Hilda Solis: LA County, you are going to do this bc I'm executive ordering it! Appointments will open Thursday for those 65+ but we don't actually have an appointment system yet. We got this...right?

In honor of Martin Luther King Day, here are some stories about being black in LA (a thread).
"I covered unarmed killings and police brutality: etched in my mind are names like Walter Scott, Sandra Bland, and Philando Castile. After each incident, I diligently worked with a sense of purpose.

Then came George Floyd.

I think it broke me."

laist.com/2020/06/01/bla…
"I'm a proud black woman, a member of a group that has been brutalized by police and historically mistreated.

I'm also a journalist, a so-called "enemy of the people" who it's been suggested should be lynched like blacks were for decades."

1/ In Southern California, there was a fight between an arts charter school and the district that has overseen it for 20 years. It's now in the hands of the Orange County Dept. of Education.

How did we get here? It's complicated.

We'll break it down.

laist.com/projects/2020/…
2/ On one side of the fight: Orange County School for the Arts, a school that boasts high graduation rates and famous alumni. For young students, OCSA (pronounced OH-sha) is a refuge for those who may not feel like they fit in elsewhere.

laist.com/projects/2020/…
3/ OCSA founder Ralph Opacic, as well as the school’s supporters, say part of what made OCSA so special was its selective admissions process. It's also what drew a new level of scrutiny from Santa Ana Unified.

THREAD:
L.A.'s sexual harassment problem isn't just in Hollywood. It's in City Hall, LAPD and beyond.

We've been closely tracking issues related to sexual harassment in the city and county workforces. Here's a quick history of what's been going on recently ⤵️
2014: Sexual harassment allegations arise against 2 city councilmembers.

In August 2014, LA city agrees to a $75k settlement after a former aide accused then-Councilman Mitch Englander of making sexually inappropriate remarks.
She said Englander had asked if she wanted to "walk into the fire stations and be naked in front of the male firefighters." Englander denied the claims.
