Please Stand By

I’m in the midst of this really horrible work stretch which not only has cut into blogging, but also prevented me from doing Amazing Race 13 and Amazing Race Asia 3 episode recaps.

For The Fans of The Amazing Race Episode Recaps

I know I have been lax on the Amazing Race and Amazing Race Asia episode recaps over the last three weeks. First, work has been a bear. Next, when the Red Sox are in the playoffs, all bets are off. It’s hard for me to blog and to pay attention to other things while my […]

TBS' Statement on the ALCS Game 6 Technical Problems

I got to a sports bar in Seekonk, MA right before 8 p.m. and while I knew I was not going to get a seat to watch Game 6 of the ALCS between the Red Sox and Tampa Bay, I certainly was not expecting to see “Bloopers and Practical Jokes” with a pre-stroke Dick Clark. […]

Eck Gets Killed on TBS

Thanks to the great Sox & Dawgs blog, this is the video of Inside MLB doing a little revisionist history on the Kirk Gibson home run in the 1988 World Series. Eck was hoping it would not be the home run and actually, it was not. For a couple of nights, Eck was fodder for […]

Giving You Some Saturday Linkage

Well, I’ve got a few minutes here to give you some links on this Saturday. I’m also trying to see if Chris Fowler leaves any clues to where College Gameday will be next week. Sometimes, he’ll say, “I can’t wait to see that game,” meaning that he’s been told where the next destination will be. […]
