At the Los Angeles Press Club awards on Saturday night, L.A. Times columnist Steve Lopez had some fun at Sam Zell's expense — alluding to Zell's lame ideas, four-letter vulgarities and upset when Lopez knocked on his door in Malibu unannounced. Lopez also got off some good lines about Tribune innovation dude Lee Abrams' wide-eyed memos, joking about Abrams coming to Los Angeles and discovering that, wow, this place is really big and multicultural — maybe the Times should do lots of stories about that. "But I shouldn't be talking about my bosses like that," Lopez says. Anyway, here's a short video courtesy of Edward Headington of the Press Club and Headington Media Group.
