Some Additional Tuesday Links

Let’s give you some more links today. More reason to hate ESPN. They plan a huge New Year’s Eve special complete with motorcycle jumps, truck flips, fiery explosions, musical acts and plenty of hype. This will run for three hours so ESPN can mark the New Year on both coasts. I can’t make this up. […]

Tuesday Morning Holiday Week Links

As we get closer to Thanksgiving, let’s get to the links. Neil Best of Newsday has a column today and he writes about WFAN beefing up its news organization. And in his blog, Neil says Yankees manager Joe Girardi signed a three year deal to appear on the FAN. Neil also reviews the first two […]

Monday Thanksgiving Week Links

With this being Thanksgiving Week, I don’t expect to be blogging much (we do have to get ready to see our families on Thursday), but I’ll do what I can. With that said, I still have to give you Videos of the Week (The Amazing Race episode recaps are taking more time than I expected) […]

The Amazing Race 12 – Ep. 3, "Please Lord, Give Me Some Milk"

This was one of the best episodes of The Amazing Race in the history of the series. We get camels kicking, women screaming, teams teaching, teams learning, lots of rain and Phil with spiked hair. Let’s get it started. Nine teams remain after Kate & Pat were eliminated last week. We learned that during the […]

Sunday Linkage

Time for some links today. Richard Sandomir talks to Frank Caliendo who’s Frank TV show premieres this week. Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News (which has gone through a site relaunch today) says the media has allowed Don Shula to slide on his comments that the Patriots should have an asterisk if they […]

I Forgot….

St. Louis at San Francisco – Fox, 4:15 p.m.I forgot to pick this game. I’ll go with St. Louis getting its second straight win at San Francisco. You have to feel for coach Mike Nolan who went to Dallas yesterday to bury his dad who died of Alzheimer’s Disease. He’ll have a heavy heart today […]

NFL Picks for Week 11

These picks are coming later and later. I have to start making them on Friday nights again. Last week was horrible. I was 5-8 for an overall record of 80-53 and a .601 winning percentage. Bad. I’ll try to do better this week. I again have to do them quick pick style. Cleveland at Baltimore […]

Jerry Garcia in today’s San Antonio Express-News looks into the second year of live games on the NFL Network and previews […]

Friday Night Late Links

I’m watching Paul Mooney’s stand up special on Showtime. It’s very funny. I forgot to put it in the Primetime Viewing Picks. The next time it’s on, I’ll recommend it. Paul Mooney is a very funny man. I have not laughed this hard since watching Chris Rock’s last standup special on HBO. If you have […]
