When a News Test is not a Test

WCVB (Channel 5) in Boston was testing its new High Definition set with a dummy newscast. Anchors Ed Harding and Natalie Jacobsen were pretty much sailing along when Nat’s cell phone went off. Kudos to the person who happened to find this video on WCVB’s website and posted it on YouTube last month. By the […]

Weekend Review

A couple of things from the weekend a few links on this wet Monday here on the East Coast. Remnants of the Tropical Storm soaked Rhode Island Sunday night into this morning and it played havoc on my DirecTV. For those of you who have either DirecTV or Dish Network, the one drawback is when […]

Falling in Love with Giada De Laurentiis

Ok, I’m late to the party on this, but this weekend, I’ve fallen in love with Food Network’s Giada De Laurentiis. I was watching Food Network’s All Star BBQ special as I wanted to pick up some tips for grilling (I’m a guy, I love to grill) and saw Giada for the first time. I’ve […]

Manager Meltdown

You may have seen this yesterday, but here is one of the best manager’s ejections of all time. This is Phillip Wellman of the Mississippi Braves getting ejected Friday night. My favorite moment is when he crawls towards the mound and tosses the rosin bag like a grenade towards the home plate umpire. It’s classic. […]

More Friday Stuff

A few more links for you today. The Oakland A’s moved to an FM station this year to satisfy fans who were complaining about a weak AM signal at night. The problem was the talk lineup that was a bit extreme for some listeners. The Contra Costa Times reports that Free FM in San Francisco […]

Friday Links

Ok, new month. Let’s do the Friday links. Lots of them today as usual. Starting off with USA Today, Mike McCarthy has Fox’s Tim McCarver getting on the Yankees for not starting Roger Clemens against the Red Sox this weekend. I usually don’t like McCarver, but I do have to agree with him on this. […]

The National Spelling Bee

I wasn’t going to write anything tonight. I was just going to let the 100 posts this month lie and start the new month on Friday fresh, but I had to add one more after watching the Spelling Bee tonight on ABC. First, I wish someone would take the TV rights away from ESPN which […]
