Some Tuesday Afternoon Links

Let’s give you an update this afternoon. First, as pointed out by Neil Best of Newsday in his blog, MLB and Fox co-authored a study which shows kids are staying up late to watch Major League Baseball postseason games and ratings actually increase as the hour gets closer to midnight. John Ourand and Eric Fisher […]

SNL Parody of the MLB/Dane Cook promos

Last Saturday, SNL did a bunch of sports promo parodies including two on the really stupid Dane Cook/MLB ads. Dane Cook is a hack and somehow managed to talk his way to getting this gig. NOTE – As of October 22, NBC has taken all of its videos off YouTube so the ALCS videos is […]

Tuesday is Linkage Day

Time to give you some links. With the Rockies sweep finishing late on the East Coast, there won’t be any final critiques of TBS’ coverage from the newspapers until tomorrow, but I’m sure there will be reviews of the NFL pregame shows from the weekend. Let’s check out the links. First, John Molori of Boston […]

TBS Hot Corner, Day 10 or This Is The End

Arizona pulled to within 6-4 in the 8th, but Manny Corpas came on to get a 4 out save and wasn’t it fitting that Eric Byrnes made the final out? As I’ve mentioned, it’s been fun watching TBS Hot Corner. The show got off to a shaky start, but the show overcame that and hit […]

TBS Hot Corner, Day 10 or We're Coming to the End

With Colorado putting up a 6 spot in the 4th inning and taking a 6-1 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks, it’s looking as if TBS’ run in the postseason is about to come to an end. And it will also mean an end to TBS Hot Corner. Sad, but all good things come to an […]

TBS Hot Corner, Day 10 or Doing the Handshake Dance

I’ve got to give the guys at TBS Hot Corner major props. For the past couple nights, Matt Dagostino and Heather Catlin have been re-enacting home run dances. This shows you how loose the format is. You would not see this on Baseball Tonight or the ALCS Live on Fox Sports.com. So while the highlights […]

TBS Hot Corner, Day 10 or This Could Be The End

This is like anticipating the last day of school. You’re kind of glad it’s here, but at the same time, you’re sad because it means the end. If Colorado wins tonight, this could be the end of TBS Hot Corner for this year. And it’s been fun to watch. Can you believe I’m actually rooting […]

A Monday Update

Time to give you some links for a Monday afternoon. First, from the Sports Business Daily (no link, but I will give the publication full credit for this item), the New England-Dallas game in the 4:15 p.m. ET window garnered the highest ratings for an NFL game for CBS since it reacquired the rights to […]

The Monday Links

Let’s go to the links this morning. Starting with USA Today’s Michael Hiestand, he writes that the ranking of South Florida at #2 in the BCS got the attention of the Fox NFL Sunday crew. From his Four DVR’s, no waiting blog in the Houston Chronicle, David Barron gives a wrapup of the Sunday NFL […]

Some Bad Luck for TBS

As the National League Championship Series appears to be heading Colorado’s way, this is the worst case scenario for TBS. In its first year covering the MLB Postseason, the network has brought a low-key approach for airing the League Division and Championship Series. While writers and fans across the country have killed TBS for the […]

TBS Hot Corner, Day 9 or Some Excitement in the Studio

Well, we finally got some excitement from the studio in Atlanta. It was truly a blooper moment, but because I’ve been asked not to mention it, I will give the person a break and not put it here. Up until then, it’s been a quiet night on the Hot Corner, but we did see some […]

TBS Hot Corner, Day 9 or I Don't Have Much To Write About

Giving you a post on TBS Hot Corner. This evening, I was busy giving you the Videos of the Week so my attention has been elsewhere. Plus, I’ve been entertaining guests so I’ve been a bit distracted. Of what I’ve seen, the Atlanta studio crew of the lovely Heather Catlin, Matt Dagostino and the lovely […]

Videos of the Week – Schoolhouse Rock

Back in the 1970’s, cartoons were the norm on Saturday mornings on the networks. Now, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, PBS Kids and Nick Toons have pretty much taken over the kids TV market, but back in the day, you had some great cartoons. Now at :25 and :55 minutes past the hour, both ABC and CBS […]

It's Sunday

Yup. Sunday. Day when we’re supposed to do some work around the house, read the paper and watch some football. That’s never the formula for me, but I do try to get a few things done. Anyway, enough about me and time for some links. Starting with Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News, […]

NFL Picks for Week 6

Last week was a good week for me. Nine up and four down for an overall record of 40-26 for a .606 winning percentage. Let’s keep up the momentum. Washington at Green Bay – Fox, 1 p.m.This is the featured game for the 1 p.m. starts. The Redskins at 3-1 and the Packers at home […]

ALCS Live on FoxSports.com

Fox Sports.com and MLB.com have teamed up for an online pregame show for the American League Championship Series, just like TBS and MLB have for the past two weeks for the League Division Series and the NLCS. For “ALCS Live”, Fox Sports has tapped Chris Myers to host. The man is a pro having done […]

A Few More Saturday Links

A couple of more links to give you on this Saturday. Jim Williams of the DC/Baltimore Examiner writes in his Watch This! blog about the Maryland Millions horse race which will be carried on MASN and other events on TV today. The Sports Media Watch has its predictions for the TV ratings this weekend. Joe […]

Saturday Linkage

Ok, let’s give you the Saturday links as the Colorado-Arizona game goes to extra innings. Late night for the Hot Corner crews in both New York and Atlanta. And I’m up giving you links. This is called dedication, my friends. LOL. Starting with the San Antonio Express-News, Jerry Garcia writes that the Patriots-Cowboys will be […]
