The Polo Lounge, Beverly Hills (1912)
Located in the Beverly Hills Hotel, this was originally the only rest stop between Hollywood and Pacific Palisades for celebrities like Will Rogers and Rudolph Valentino who were playing polo. Howard Hughes lived in a bungalow and the hotel was on the cover of the Eagles’ album “Hotel California.” And you’ve got Faye Dunaway relaxing the morning after she won an Oscar.
Halfway House Cafe, Canyon Country (1931)
Breakfast and lunch place in Santa Clarita.
El Farolito, Placentia (1974)
This restaurant rountinely makes “best food in Orange County” lists. Perhaps because it is family-owned and operated.

Dan Tana’s, West Hollywood, (1964)
Famous for turning away Richard Burton, it’s from an era where other well-known restaurants like Chasen’s and Scandia are no longer in business. You can get the New York Steak, Dabney Coleman; Veal Cutlet, Milanese, a la George Clooney; or Braciola, Vlade Divac.

There’s not a damn one of you that honestly thinks London didn’t embarrass herself with that performance in the video.
But you all want to sit here and coddle that kid and that’s what’s fucking wrong with these kids today, no one wants to be honest with them. You clowns would rather see London embarrass herself to no end by telling her she did good in the video.
Whatever few scouts that were there and it didn’t look like very many at all, aren’t going to pull any punches with their assessment, they’re going to be real and say they were unimpressed, but you all go on not wanting to hurt tbe young ladies feeling by telling her she did good.
That girl London needs to hear the truth or you’re going to build her up like Su’a Cravens and then have to watch her quit just like that girl because no one wanted to tell her the truth, that she needed to work harder.

Baker Mayfield said Riley played a big part of his success in Norman. “That whole process of learning from Josh Heupel, just a completely different coach, real harsh like military kind of and then Lincoln comes in, more laid back, more like, ‘OK, he’s going to make, whatever your strengths are, he’s going to try and really, really use those,’” Mayfield said. “…Different types of coaching, but the timing of that was perfect. There’s no other way I would’ve made it to where I’m at right now if he wouldn’t have come in when he did.”

It’s kinda funny but the Ucla version of 24/7 on Facebook ran a sour grapes article about Lincoln being a distraction at the end of the season with the rumors about other coaching gigs.
I summed it up by saying the player complaint was that Riley didn’t lie to the team about his intentions, he just didn’t bring it up. He didn’t play favorites (benching Rattled (sic)) but played the hot hand. It’s all point of view and should be noted the players complaining transferred even after Riley left.
