Preview: Sports Bar Schmoozes Rams Coach

Valley football fans don’t have to wait till game day to get their fix of the L.A. Rams: The Westlake Village Inn has partnered with ESPN to broadcast a weekly show featuring head coach Jeff Fisher live from Bogie’s Bar. The hour-long program, titled “The Jeff Fisher Show,” is co-hosted by J.B. Long of Rams Radio and former Rams defensive tackle D’Marco Farr. Rams enthusiasts are welcome to join Fisher, Long and Farr in the audience on Mondays from 6 to 7 p.m. Chris Cuilty, chief operating officer at the Westlake Village Inn, said hotel managers had been brainstorming for ways to get involved with the team when they learned ESPN, owned by Walt Disney Co. in Burbank, was searching for a broadcasting location. “We were doing all kinds of different outreaches when we got ahold of ESPN, and they were looking for a place to host Jeff’s show,” Cuilty said.
