FMIA: On Jeopardy, Joe Burrow and Super Bowl 56—Predawn Drive Into Work With Bengals Coach Zac Taylor

The Super Bowl week FMIA kicks off in predawn Cincinnati, however. It’s dead silent in Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor’s neighborhood. Bengals-Rams, the Super Bowl LVI match no one on earth saw coming on Labor Day, is the next game, but glitzy L.A. and the game seem very far away.

Beneath The Super Bowl’s Turf: The Ghosts of Hollywood Park

Just north of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, home of Sunday’s Super Bowl LVI, a roadway named Pincay Drive connects South Prairie Avenue on the west to Crenshaw Boulevard on the East. It is nearly a mile long and dead straight, unremarkable except for the history it holds in six white letters on a green background. Pincay Drive is ostensibly an homage to Hall of Fame thoroughbred jockey Laffit Pincay, Jr. “When they named it, the mayor of Inglewood sent a letter,’’ says Pincay, who retired in 2003 and is now 75. “I’m proud of that street.’’ As he should be: Only one rider in history has won more races than Pincay. The sign bearing his name recognizes a towering personal greatness. But also the passage of time and a dimming legacy (not his). It is part guidepost, part memorial.
