Not quite.

But the Kings already have lost three times on the road during these playoffs; they dropped just one road game through four rounds on their way to the Stanley Cup last year.

“We can’t rest and be comfortable with just being a great home team,” said Kings winger Justin Williams on Monday. “We need to be killers on the road.”

Game 4 is on Tuesday night at San Jose. The Kings, leading the series two games to one, practiced at El Segundo on Monday before flying back to the Bay Area. It appears as though left wing Kyle Clifford, out with an upper-body injury since late in the first round, could rejoin the lineup. He skated on a line with Colin Fraser and Brad Richardson.

“It [stinks] being out, but what’s done is done and we’re just looking forward,” Clifford said. “My role is to just provide energy and just chip in when I can.”

Said Fraser: “Cliffy’s obviously a...

Gina Chappin, who has run media operations for the Rose Bowl game since 2007, on Monday was named senior director of communications and brand management for the new College Football Playoff.

Chappin will remain with the Rose Bowl through next season as it celebrates its 100th-game anniversary and also hosts the last national title game in the Bowl Championship Series.

The BCS will be replaced in 2014-15 by a new four-team playoff that will use a selection committee to pick the participants. 

"Gina is a perfect fit to join our team in implementing the College Football Playoff," Bill Hancock, current BCS executive director, said in a statement. "Her extraordinary skills and personality have earned her the respect of journalists, coaches, conference commissioners and others."

Chappin is a 1999 graduate of the University of Arizona. She joined the Rose Bowl after holding a similar position at the Fiesta Bowl.

In the new CFP system, the  Rose Bowl and five other bowls will host semifinal...

Keenan Allen might want to take a quick glance in the mirror before posting another video online. That way he can avoid embarrassing himself like he did with his recent Vine post.

No, he didn't have food stuck in his teeth or something hanging out of his nose. No hair was out of place and there wasn't a smudge on his face. His offense was much, much worse.

The third-round draft pick of the San Diego Chargers was wearing an Oakland Raiders cap.

He also had a really goofy look on his face while sipping out of a straw at In-N-Out Burger. But that's beside the point.

Needless to say, Chargers fans on Twitter were all over the soon-to-be rookie for sporting the logo of an AFC West rival, even if the Raiders were his local team during his years at California.

Allen got the message pretty fast.

I get it fans!!!! Won't happen again!

I apologize!

Of course, that wasn't good enough for some fans.

Canadian singer Alexis Normand probably will have to leave the building the next time she hears the U.S. national anthem being sung. Because she tried to sing it Saturday before a hockey game and botched the lyrics.

Before a game in the Memorial Cup hockey tournament, Normand came out to sing the U.S. and Canadian anthems. All seemed well, until she got a couple of lines into the song. Apparently, she had memorized a new version of the song most of us are unfamiliar with. The new version had lines such as:

"At the twilight's last first gleaming"

"Through the perilin nigh"

"Whatsoever we swayed and the twilight still be there"

"And the rifle's boom boom, the bombs bursting in air"

At this point, in the best part of the video, the fans in the stands, who you have to figure are almost all Canadian, begin singing the song loudly, helping Normand out.

Normand was extremely apologetic afterward.

"I’m usually a quick study and I’ve been learning songs for a long time," Normand...

Tiger Woods gave a simple response Monday when asked if he ever thought about contacting Sergio Garcia to clear the air after their public spat at the Players Championship:

"No."

Woods was asked the question during a news conference at Congressional Country Club to promote the AT&T National, which benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation.

The latest disagreement between the two golfers started when Garcia blamed his bad shot on Woods' poor timing of choosing a club some 50 yards away that caused a loud crowd reaction.

Woods said course marshals incorrectly told him Garcia had already finished his shot before he chose his club, some of the marshals essentially called Woods a liar before others came out and more or less supported Woods' version of what happened.

At some point during all the back-and-forth, Garcia said Woods "isn't the nicest guy on Tour."

After the news conference Monday, Woods expanded on his one-word answer to USA Today Sports:

"...

We recently asked you to list your choices for the 10 greatest Angels of all time. We received 993 ballots. Each weekday at 11 a.m. PDT, a new person will be listed as we count down all 10.

Remember, any Angel was eligible, including managers, owners, announcers, etc. Points were assigned based on where you listed the person on the ballot. Your first choice received 12 points, second choice 10, third place eight, all the way down to one point for 10th place.

So without further ado, here is No. 10:

No. 10: Frank Tanana (22 first-place votes, 2,305 points)

Not many pitchers have reinvented themselves like Frank Tanana did. In his prime with the Angels, he threw a 100-mph fastball and made three consecutive All-Star games (1976-78). From 1975 to 1978, he was 68-40 and completed 69 of the 131 games he started, leading the league in strikeouts (269) in 1975 and ERA (2.54) in 1977.

However, the number of innings caught up to Tanana, and he missed about 10 weeks of the 1979 season because of...

Skylar Diggins got a new car as a gift after graduating from Notre Dame this weekend.

Big deal, you say? Probably lots of recent college grads got the same thing? True, but she got a Mercedes.

Well, maybe some kids with rich parents had one of those bestowed upon them as well. But did any of those other kids get their sweet ride from hip-hop superstar Jay-Z?

Didn't think so.

Diggins, the former standout guard for the Fighting Irish, signed with Jay-Z's new sports representation agency, Roc Nation, after being drafted third overall by the Tulsa Shock in the WNBA draft.

Photos of the recent grad discovering her gift, which came complete with a red bow and a card signed by Jay-Z, were posted by Diggins and Roc Nation.

Diggins also expressed her excitement on Twitter:

Calvin Johnson isn't making any excuses for a 2012 season in which he scored his lowest number of touchdowns in three years or tied for the second-most dropped passes in the NFL.

Not that the Detroit Lions star has to anyway -- setting the all-time league record for receiving yards in a season (1,964) kind of makes up for the rest of that stuff.

But if he wanted to make an excuse, he'd have a pretty good one, because he apparently played last season with more than one broken finger.

That's right. Johnson told the Detroit Free Press that he was catching all those passes for all those yards while playing with an unspecified number of broken fingers, as well as other injuries to his foot, ankle, knee and head.

Johnson was spotted with a splint on one of his hands as early as last pre-season, according...

Former NFL star Chad Johnson was arrested Monday on charges that he violated probation stemming from a domestic violence incident involving his former wife, Evelyn Lozada.

A Broward County (Fla.) judge ordered the player once known as Chad Ochocinco to remain in jail until he posts a $1,000 bond, with another hearing set for June 3.

Johnson has been serving one year of probation since August after Lozada said he head-butted her during an argument. She quickly filed for divorce to end a marriage that started on July 4.

An arrest warrant was issued for the six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver earlier this month after twice failing to meet his probation officer and being unable to show proof of enrolling in an anti-domestic violence class, according to TMZ.com.

Johnson spent 10 years with the Cincinnati Bengals and last played for the New England Patriots in 2011.

He signed with the Miami Dolphins during last off-season but was cut the day after his arrest in August.

Brittney Griner says...

Robert Griffin III and his fiance are just like many other soon-to-be-married couples in that they registered online for their wedding gifts.

Unlike those other couples, however, this one just happens to have the superstar quarterback of the Washington Redskins as the groom. Some of his crafty fans discovered the registry of Griffin and Rebecca Liddicoat on the Bed, Bath & Beyond website and decided to send some pre-wedding gifts -- lots and lots of them.

Check out the photo RG3 posted on whosay of himself in front of a big ol' pile of boxes from BB&B.

Most of the already-purchased items on the list are of the more inexpensive variety as far as wedding gifts are concerned, such as napkins ($1.99 each), dish cloths ($4.99) and a variety of kitchen utensils (a $7.99 vegetable peeler, for example) -- although some people (quite possibly not fans but some of the quarterback's wealthier friends) have purchased a pair of $439.99 outdoor seating sets and a $399.99 mixer for the couple.

Former Baylor star Brittney Griner said Sunday that her coach at Baylor, Kim Mulkey, asked her to not be publicly open about being gay out of fear it would hurt recruiting.

"It was a recruiting thing," Griner told espnW.com. "The coaches thought that if it seemed like they condoned it, people wouldn't let their kids come play for Baylor.

Not discussing one's sexuality "was more of a unwritten law," she said. "It was just kind of, like, one of those things, you know, just don't do it. They kind of tried to make it, like, 'Why put your business out on the street like that?' "

Griner came out as gay last month, before being chosen by the Phoenix Mercury with the No. 1 overall pick of the WNBA draft.

Mulkey declined to comment on Griner's statement. "Brittney Griner represented Baylor University proudly on and off the basketball court, and she leaves behind an incredible legacy," the coach said in a statement issued by Baylor. "I cannot comment on personal matters surrounding any of our...
