Jacob Emrani's ‘Supper Bowl' to Supply Meals for Eaton Fire Victims
The Eaton Fire has devastated families, leaving many without homes, belongings, or a clear path forward. Emrani, who has long been committed to helping Southern Californians in their time of need, recognizes the urgent need for support and is taking action to provide essential resources for those rebuilding their lives. Given the high-scoring nature of recent championship games, this effort is expected to provide thousands of meals to those who need them most.
'The road to recovery is long, but no one should have to go through it hungry,' said Emrani.
'Los Angeles has always been a city that comes together in times of crisis, and this is one small way we can make an immediate impact while keeping the spirit of community alive during the biggest game of the year.'
While the teams will battle it out on the field, Emrani is fighting for those who lost everything in the wildfires. The Law Offices of Jacob Emrani have filed lawsuits against Southern California Edison for their role in starting the devastating fire – holding them accountable for the destruction left behind.

Jeanie Buss to remain Lakers governor for 'foreseeable future' after selling the team for $10 billion
Jeanie Buss will be in charge of the Los Angeles Lakers for "the foreseeable future" despite the family selling the franchise to businessman Mark Walter for $10 billion. The agreement, which led to one of the biggest purchases in sports history, was reported by ESPN's Shams Charania on June 18. On Wednesday, the Lakers released a statement announcing the sale and confirming Buss will remain as the governor of the Lakers. The Athletic reported that Buss would stay in her seat for "years". Advertisement Walter is the CEO and chairman of TWG Global. He is also the primary owner and chairman of the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the statement, Buss said, "I have gotten to know Mark very well over time and been delighted to learn how he shares those same values. "For the last four years, Mark has been an excellent partner to us, and we are thrilled to keep working with him to continue the Lakers' extraordinary legacy." Jeanie's father, Jerry Buss, bought the Lakers for $67.5 million in 1979. The Lakers won 11 of their 17 NBA titles under the Buss family's ownership. Jeanie took over as Lakers governor after her father's passing in 2013.

'The Lakers have long been one of the most iconic franchises in sports,' Walter said. 'Since Dr. Jerry Buss first purchased the team in 1979, they have truly set the standard for basketball in one era after another, which is why you can find people anywhere in the world wearing Lakers shirts and jerseys. 'I admire what he, Jeanie and the Buss family have built, and I know how much this special organization matters to Southern Californians and to sports fans everywhere. I also have tremendous respect for Jeanie's continued commitment to maintaining the Lakers' long-term vision and elite status, and I'm excited to work with her on the next era.' Selling the majority of the team to Walter was voted upon by Jeanie and her siblings. According to the Associated Press, the transaction is set to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2025.

Kyren Williams 'feeling good' about chances for a Rams contract extension
Rams running back Kyren Williams heads to the locker room before a game against the San Francisco 49ers at SoFi Stadium in September. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times) Rams running back Kyren Williams is waiting patiently. During the offseason, the team solidified its offense by re-signing left tackle Alaric Jackson and receiver Tutu Atwell, adding free-agent receiver Davante Adams and offensive lineman Coleman Shelton and adjusting the contract of quarterback Matthew Stafford. Advertisement Williams, who rushed for more than 1,100 yards in each of the last two seasons, is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is eligible for an extension. In April, the Rams and Williams' agent exchanged proposed contract terms. But with organized team activities scheduled to begin next week, a deal has not been done.

'I know with time it's going to happen,' Williams said last week in Pasadena, where he helped distribute new shoes to kids affected by the Eaton Fire. Advertisement And if Williams and the Rams do not reach a deal before the season? 'I would love for it to get done so I can take care of my family and the loved ones that helped me get here,' he said. 'I've always got trust in God. Whether it happens now or I play out the season, I know it's going to happen eventually. 'And so, time will tell. I just know I've got to do what I need to do each and every single day to make sure that it does happen in my favor.' Rams running back Kyren Williams, second from right, helped distribute new shoes to kids affected by Eaton fire last week in a joint effort between the Seattle Seahawks and Rams. (Gary Klein / Los Angeles Times) Williams, a 2022 fifth-round draft pick from Notre Dame, was slowed by injuries much of his rookie season. But in 12 games in 2023, he rushed for 1,144 yards, scored 15 touchdowns and was voted to the Pro Bowl. In 16 games last season, he rushed for 1,299 yards and scored 16 touchdowns and helped the Rams advance to the NFC divisional round. Advertisement Williams, 24, leads a Rams running back corps that includes second-year pro Blake Corum, Ronnie Rivers, Cody Schrader and rookie Jarquez Hunter, a fourth-round draft pick from Auburn. Williams is scheduled to earn about $5.4 million this season, according to The Rams have not given a running back a top-level extension since they awarded Todd Gurley a then-record deal before the 2018 season. General manager Les Snead has said that Rams would 'definitely like to engineer a long-term partnership,' with Williams. Coach Sean McVay said in April that 'bridging that gap' financially was the challenge. 'We'll see how far that we have to go with that but he is a very important part of what we want to be moving forward,' McVay said, adding, 'He knows how much I love him, and so we'll see if we can get something done.' Advertisement In the meantime, Williams is preparing for the season — and continuing to contribute off the field with actions consistent with those that made him the Rams' nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award last season. Williams directed his $25,000 from the NFL Foundation to the LAFD Foundation to help with fire relief efforts, said Molly Higgins, the Rams' executive vice president of community impact and engagement. 'He's been very vocal in saying, 'However I can help with the fire-impacted families, let me know,'' Higgins said.

'I couldn't imagine what these young kids and their families went through when they lost their houses and things due to the fire so just being able to be here — this is a blessing,' Williams said. As his contract situation plays out, the work on and off the field will continue, Williams said. 'My only purpose is to continue to get better,' he said, 'and finding joy in each and every single day and finding something to get better at.'
