Pictorial Preview of the Broad Museum

The Broad Museum will be widely visited as part of one of Los Angeles' premier tourist destinations. When opened in September it will join MOCA, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Cathedral of the Lady of our Angels, and the Music Center atop Bunker Hill.

Roslyn and I were able to get tickets for the sneak preview last night.

The Slant on Carroll's Call

I will pass on criticizing Carroll for taking to the air.  Faking a run, and then passing near the goal line is a common, and often successful play.  An incomplete pass would not be a disaster with two more downs left to punch it in.

But calling a slant play was inexcusable.  A goal line defense is bunched up in the middle.  The chance for a tipped ball leading to an interception is significant even without the great play made by New England.  The more common play is to see if after faking the run, someone comes wide open in the flat,  If so, throw, if not, let it go out of the end zone.  The other option is a fade to the corner with the ball placed so it is either caught by your receiver, or travels harmlessly out of the field of play.
