BCS Fallout

It’s almost 2 a.m. on Tuesday. I’ve been working all night, but I’m still committed to blog for you even at this ungodly hour. I’m also watching ESPN’s 23 hour college basketball tip-off marathon. It’s nice to have live sports to watch when working. Of course, when college basketball really gets underway, I’ll have the […]

NFL Is Not Flexing in Week 13

Stealing a line from Andrew Siciliano of DirecTV’s Red Zone Channel, referee Ed Hochuli can flex, but the NFL is not.

Some Football-Related Press Releases For Your Monday

I just realized that next week is Thanksgiving. You know how I realized that? When CBS sent me a press release on the SEC games it will broadcast next weekend. This month is flying by. So without further ado, here are some press releases that have flown into my inbox and I’ll begin with the […]

Your Monday Links

I’ll provide some links now. I was surfing around to see if there was any word on where the BCS was going. Apparently, it’s ESPN’s to lose at this point. Starting with USA Today’s Michael McCarthy, he says during last night’s 60 Minutes program, President-elect Barack Obama once again advocated for an 8 team college […]

Three Quick Notes

I’ll provide some more comprehensive links later, but I wanted to get these items to you on this Monday.

Some Sunday Afternoon Links

I’ll give you some links since going to work on this Sunday went up in smoke (and believe me, that’s not a bad thing). Starting with the Sox & Dawgs blog, it has the video of a fighter getting kicked in the nuts during last night’s UFC 91 card. Ouch. Busted Coverage updates you on […]

The Best NFL Coverage That Most of You Can'tWatch

It’s the Red Zone Channel on DirecTV. If you have the NFL Sunday Ticket and purchase the Superfan package, you get the Red Zone Channel and the Supercast feature which allows you to watch all of the NFL games online. Usually, I’ll have my Browns on TV and the Red Zone Channel online. But on […]

Some Sunday Links

I may have to head into work today, but before I do, I’ll provide few links. Starting with Neil Best, he has a column in today’s Newsday marking the 40th anniversary of the infamous Heidi Game which occured 40 years ago Monday. Ever since then, every network TV incident cutting off the end of a […]

Mayne Street, Part 2

This is the second installment of the ESPN web series, “Mayne Street”. In this webisode, Kenny meets his insane 26 year old boss. Quickie review. It’s not bad. Kenny with the faux homeless guy plugging Louie’s Original Roast Beef was funny. Otherwise, the character of Kenny’s boss is not funny. Overall grade – B. EDITED […]
