Happy Thursday, Long Beach—while you’re making up your mind as to what you want to give up for Lent, may we suggest that you leave SportsNight off your list?  We’re live via tape delay from Smooth’s downtown, as we talk about the Long Beach Sports Mount Rushmore (hey, ESPN stole it from us first, okay?), a new 5K through the Long Beach State campus (with 5K organizer Alex Merlina on to talk about it), a Long Beach State update, and a conversation about the NFL…in February.  We have a sickness, alright? We admit it. No high school rundown this week because we recorded before the game, but fortunately if you’re reading this you can click to the front page and check out all the stories, photos, and video from Wednesday’s CIF action.
