The Last Links Before Christmas

I’ll provide you with some more linkage before I get ready for the big Fang’s Bites Christmas get together with family and friends in Central Massachusetts. It’s bigger than normal and I don’t look forward to it as it’s more of a pain than anything else, but it’s always good to see cousins and relatives […]

The Countdown To The MLB Network Launch Continues….

With the MLB Network launch getting closer, we keep getting more tidbits about the channel. And you see the logo to your left, thanks to the fine people at MLB Network for sending it over. Yesterday, MLB Network started a 10 day countdown to its launch and announced that Barry Larkin was joining its studio […]

Preview of ESPN's Outside The Lines for 12/28/08

This is a clip of a story that ESPN’s Outside The Lines will run this Sunday. If you saw HBO’s Real Sports on Tuesday, this is a story that Mary Carillo wanted to do, but for some reason, could not. Instead, ESPN has gotten access to Elena Delle Donne who walked away from a basketball […]

Christmas Eve Linkage

This being Christmas Eve, the posting will be a bit lighter today. Of course if something breaks, I’ll post it, but for now, let’s get to the links and give you what I can. Michael Hiestand of USA Today says ESPN is getting ready to make your TV interactive in summer 2009. Newsday’s Neil Best […]

Late TuesdayEarly Wednesday Links

As I look at my Review of Real Sports for 12/23/08, I realize I may have gone too long on that post and instead of cutting and pasting, maybe I should have linked to each segment, but then it would I actually like having the original reviews. It’s something I should think about for next […]

A Few Thursday Links

I’m at the home office once again, but I’ll provide a few links for you. Newsday’s Neil Best says he and fellow Newsday writer Bob Glauber got caught up in a debate over the controversial replay overturn in last Sunday’s Steelers-Ravens game and says Phil Simms and Cris Collinsworth got into a similar argument on […]

MLB Network Presents….

This is a release from the MLB which as many of you know, will launch on New Year’s Day. This is regarding its debut broadcast which will be the first airing of Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series since it was shown originally. I hope to have a review of this for […]

Some More Press Releases…. Yes! It's True!

I’ve been catching up on episodes of “The Secret Millionaire” on Hulu. Try to watch one of those episodes without bawling your eyes out. Really tough to do although I notice that some give more than others, but at least I’ve noticed the millionaires appear to have been changed by their experiences living in poverty […]

More Links For Your Wednesday

Well, I can provide some more links now that I put out that fire out. From David Bauder of the Associated Press, we find that CBS is now considering teaming up with Time Warner to bid for the 2014 and 2016 Olympic Games. If successful, CBS would put the Games on its own network plus […]

Report from TARCon XIII

After a whirlwind weekend in New York, I’m now unwinding at home, re-watching The Amazing Race finale. I’ll give you some observations after meeting the Racers. First off, I have to thank Georgia Peach of Reality Fan Forum for allowing me to meet the teams at a lunch on Sunday. Only four RFF members were […]

Quotage from the Sunday NFL Pregame Shows

I have a lot to catch up on. Had I had my notebook computer in New York, I would have been able to provide you with some of this stuff from Sunday and blog more, but my schedule prevented me from doing so. Perhaps the next time I go to TARCon, I’ll be better equipped. […]

Mark & Bill

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Mark & Bill. I was with Mark at breakfast and I could not be with a funnier guy.

At TARCon

I’m at TARCon right now. Spent time with the racers earlier today. Ken, Nick, Starr, Andrew, Terrence, Sarah, Toni, Dallas, Tina, Aja, Ty, Anita, Arthur and Andrew could not have been nicer. I’ll provide details on Monday. Pictures coming later.

Fang's Bites in New York

NEW YORK — I always wanted to give myself a dispatch. In radio, you can only give your location in the tag or at the end of your report. I was always envious of newspaper reporters for the dateline. But I digress. Well, as you can tell, I’m in New York and sweating in the […]

A Few Saturday Morning Links

Ok, I have yet to leave for New York, but I’m about to so I’ll give you a few links as I eat breakfast and dash out the door. First, I’ll ask you to visit the Eye on Sports Media blog where Christopher Byrne is live blogging from the SEC Championship as Raycom says goodbye […]

The L Word – Jenny's Dead????

It came out today that The L Word is killing off Jenny Schecter. I liked Jenny, I should say I like Mia Kirshner, but Jenny is a character that has become extremely annoying over the first five seasons. If you want to see how we come to know, watch this scene. Jenny will be seen […]
