Actor Ian Ziering described a physical confrontation between himself and a group of mini-bikers on Hollywood Boulevard Sunday as "hooliganism" in a social media post."While stuck in traffic, my car was approached aggressively by one of these riders leading to an unsettling confrontation," Ziering posted on Instagram one day after the incident.The "Beverly Hills, 90210" actor said he got out of his car to assess any damage when the situation escalated into a physical altercation. Video of the skirmish obtained by TMZ shows Ziering confronting and shoving one of the mini-bikers who was blocking his vehicle. A short time later, several of the mini-bikers surround Ziering when one of them throws a punch that appears to hit the actor in the face. Ziering is seen fighting off several of the bikers as he runs toward safety across the street.

Contrary to popular belief, the Giants do not need to spend the massive pile of money they allocated for Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.In fact, the Giants would be foolish to sign a big-money free agent now that those two players are Dodgers.No, San Francisco needs to stay nimble. With big money comes long terms — the Giants might be able to afford the pay, but they can’t afford four-plus years of a second-tier free agent.(If those guys were sure things, they’d be signed by now.)After going for the big play and failing — again — the Giants need to stay true to their systems (it did win 107 games one season) and remain flexible. Don’t do anything this offseason that you’ll regret next offseason.Of course, the Giants still need to augment their whole roster, but director of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi tries to turn the organization into a self-sustaining winning machine — one that might create a big-time free agent one day.Luckily, baseball’s ...Pac-12 bowl review: Breaking down the highs (UW, Arizona) and lows (Cal, OSU) and everything in between
