Jones denies any involvement in the Las Vegas strip club shooting that took place during NBA All Star Weekend in February. Jones has had a record of trouble […]

Lost in the shuffle in the Dennis & Callahan lockout and the death of Phil Rizzuto is the news that WFAN has officially announced that Boomer Esiason will be the new host of its morning show. To help out, Craig Carlton, one of “The Jersey Guys” on New Jersey 101.5 will be co-host. The show […]

Some more stuff for you on this Tuesday. Jim Williams of the DC/Baltimore Examiner likes the teaming of Tony Kornheiser and Ron Jaworski in the ESPN Monday Night Football booth. Neil Best in his Newsday Watchdog blog agrees with Williams’ assessment. I didn’t see it because the power in my house went out due to […]

Former New York Yankees shortstop and broadcaster Phil Rizzuto passed away at the age of 89 today. While old school Yankees fans will remember him as a scrappy player, younger fans will remember him as the lovable broadcaster on radio and on superstation WPIX-TV. As a Red Sox fan, I couldn’t stand the Yankees, but […]

I turned on WEEI this morning to see if the contract dispute between the radio station and morning show hosts Dennis & Callahan had been settled and in D & C’s place were John Rooke and Larry Johnson. I’ve worked with Rooke and he’s good as usual. There’s a reason why Larry is usually on […]

Let’s give you a few links here. Starting with CBS Sports and its ratings for the PGA Championship, the network received the 5th highest rating for the tournament since 1986. The other four? They all had Tiger playing for the win as well. CBS has had the rights for the PGA Championship since 1991. And […]

Let’s start with USA Today and Michael Hiestand. He writes about CBS focusing its PGA Championship coverage on Tiger Woods especially during the 4th round on Sunday. The man was leading and the margin did go from 5 shots to 1 at one point. It’s understandable. In the New York Post, Phil Mushnick goes after […]

The contract dispute between WEEI and Dennis & Callahan have reached a new level. Bruce Allen and David Scott from Boston Sports Media Watch have broken the story that John Dennis & Gerry Callahan are not allowed to do their show until contract negotiations are settled. It meant that Craig Mustard and Larry Johnson were […]

In fear of sounding like a Larry King column or *gulp* Jay Mohr, I don’t give you links but a few thoughts on this summer’s TV. First, too much reality TV on the networks. Yes, it’s cheap, but seeing silly premises like a tennis player choosing between 20 year old women and 40 year old […]

I’m thoroughly enjoying the online coverage of the PGA Championship from Southern Hills. I do wish CBS would allow its coverage to be made available online, but seeing TNT’s first and second round simulcast is enough for me. Again, I’ll provide the link for you here. Let’s provide some more links this afternoon before I […]

We’re back on a Friday. Checked for links last night and there was nothing new so I just decided to go for a walk and listen to my new Sirius Stiletto radio. I was able to listen to the Cincinnati-Detroit and Indy-Dallas NFL exhibition games without any trouble. I do have to say it was […]
