I have to start out by saying the US Open has got to work with rightsholders CBS and whomever will hold the cable contract next year (USA Network, Tennis Channel, ESPN) to allow live streaming of its matches. Right now, trying to find streams from other rightsholders has been quite difficult. EuroSport from Spain and […]

Time for the Videos of the Week. I can safely say the best band touring right now is Rage Against the Machine. The guys of Rage without lead singer Zach de la Rocha were with former Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell for a while in Audioslave, but I do hope RATM does some new stuff. But […]

I briefly checked WEEI this morning to listen to Dan Patrick and he was good as usual. Teamed with Tom Curran of NBC Sports.com and unfortunately, Jon Meterperel, Dan was very good interacting with callers and his co-hosts. Only one week removed from leaving ESPN Radio, there certainly is no rust on Dan. He’s a […]
