The Major Arena Soccer League season is underway and the Ontario Fury hosted the Turlock Express this past Friday at the Citizens Business Bank Arena. Fortunately for me, I was able to spend the day after Thanksgiving with the hottest dance team in the MASL, the Ladies of Ontario Fury for game day.
My game days with the Ladies of Ontario Fury are filled with photographic opportunities and I started my day or more properly my evening (it was a night game) off with some posed photographs. The girls greet incoming fans one hour prior to game time and they are available to mingle and take photographs with the fans. You can get up close and personal with the Ladies of Ontario Fury and I did just that, snapping a few photos with the girls in front of a large Christmas Tree.

Who said it never rains in Southern California? Well it certainly did last Sunday…and I am sure the visiting Miami Dolphins were well accustomed to that, but for me and 28 Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders, it was a surreal experience.
So, what are those spots you see in some of those photos above? To Southern Californians, they’re more precious than gold…it’s mana from heaven…rain drops. Now rain wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I found out I was going to shoot the Dolphins game, but its what I got. And I must say it made for some interesting photographs and the Rams Cheerleaders seemed to take it all in stride and had a great time out there. I know I did.
It’s been almost two decades since I was last at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. I was a Raiders season ticket holder back then, so coming back to shoot this game brought back some fond memories…and the realization why the Rams need a new crib. It’s a venerable old stadium, but it’s outdated and the amenities are insufficient for a modern game. While waiting for the kickoff, several photographers huddled in a cramped area near the west end zone. We were dodging the rain. I remember that space being used by the Raiders band back in the 90’s, but it has since been converted to a media room for photographers and their editors to work. It has the advantage to being very close to the field and the WIFI was good, but…well you know.
Last week, the Miami Dolphins played the Chargers in San Diego and I think they remained in Southern California to play the Rams this Sunday. Another week, and another opportunity for both teams. In fact, it was a rather momentous game for the home town Rams as Jared Goff was starting for the first time in his NFL career. Goff was the number one overall pick in the NFL draft and Rams fans have been eagerly awaiting his debut. I mean you don’t select a player #1 overall, pay him all that money to let him ride the pine. No, you got to play him and see what he can do.
And for his first NFL start, Goff did okay, throwing for 134 yards and more importantly zero interceptions. The Rams led the visiting Dolphins for most of the game, taking a 10 point lead deep into the fourth quarter. I made the mistake of assuming the game was in the bag with about six minutes to go because up until that point, the Dolphins had only passed for about 70 yards and the Fins hadn’t really threatened to score. But in their final two possessions of the game, the visitors put together two sustained drives and scored 14 points to steal victory away from the Rams. And a steal it was because up until that time, the Dolphins only managed to cross mid-field twice…twice in 54 minutes of game play.
Well, I did manage to snap a few game photos and the last one below was from the pass play that won the game for the Dolphins.
Yeah, back in the day I used to shoot other things than cheerleaders…but cheerleaders are all that I shoot today. So on with the show!
Our good friends with the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders have let us know that seven year veteran Jacqui was named their Pro Bowl Cheerleader. She was joined by former MVC Pro Bowl Cheerleaders at their Holiday Showcase at the Mall of America held this past Monday.

It was an unseasonably hot Sunday in Southern California…perfect weather for some football. The Miami Dolphins made a cross country trek to battle the San Diego Chargers in a game that was played more for pride than a chance at the playoffs. Both teams, sporting mediocre records, are long shots at making the postseason considering that there are three better teams in the AFC West with seven wins each. Realistically this was a game that had little playoff relevance, but that doesn’t mean it was a game played without entertainment value. For surely, it was…especially if you were a Dolphins fan.
In a tightly contested game, Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes to move past John Elway for eighth place on the career list with 301. But he also threw four costly interceptions, included two bad ones in the final four minutes that sealed the fate of the home team.
Final Score: Dolphins – 31, Chargers -24
It was the Chargers’ Salute to Service game and as you would expect, the Charger Girls wore special military themed uniforms for the event. And because the Chargers play in San Diego, where the weather is always good, the Charger Girl uniforms were damn skimpy…uh, um…damn sexy. See for yourself!
With a 4-6 record and three aforementioned AFC West teams with 7 wins, it appears that the Chargers playoff aspirations are at an end. There’s just not enough games left in the season to improve in the standings. But that’s okay…I still have the Charger Girls to justify the 120 mile trek down the 15 freeway.
So let’s begin this week’s coverage of the Charger Girls wearing special military themed uniforms with the Captains: Bridget, Teran, Marissa, and Delani.
