Growing up as a kid in Rhode Island in the 1970’s, I’ll always remember the CBS Saturday night lineup including the venerable Mary Tyler Moore Show. It lasted seven seasons, went out on top and probably had the very best series finale ever. Seinfeld, Friends, St. Elsewhere and The Sopranos are among the series finales […]

NBC would end televising the NHL after this season (makes sense after the ratings its received the last two seasons) and ESPN would pick up NBC’s option the following year. We’ll […]

Just got the sad news that former San Francisco 49er coach Bill Walsh died of leukemia. He was a pioneer in the league bringing in the West Coast offense, started what was known as the coaching tree, won three Super Bowls and took the 49ers from what was a bad team into a dynasty. San […]
