Quotage from Sunday NFL Countdown

Again, bad job by CBS, Fox and NFL Network for not sending over quotage from their pregame shows today. I waited late to see if anything came through and only ESPN sent over quotage today. So they get this post all to themselves. I hope quotage will be readily available for Conference Championship Sunday. “SUNDAY […]

Sunday's Linkage

Let me tell you, digging out is never fun, especially when the snow has been tamped down by ice. First, I slept in, second, I took my time getting to dig out the driveway and third, it took over an hour to do it. I always tell myself my next house I live in will […]

Videos of the Week – B.J. Fletcher Private Eye

Time for another four episodes of B.J. Fletcher: Private Eye. Last week, I posted the first four episodes of Season 1. Time for four more. Episode 5 – In the case of “Mr. Christie and his Wandering Aperture”, Fletch (Lindy Zucker) and George (Dana Puddicombe) go undercover at Dominic Christie’s photography studio. Once there they […]

I Think I Know Who Kills Jenny On The L Word

I’m not going to write it here, but after watching Showtime’s preview of the new and last season of The L Word, I think I know who killed Jenny. There’s a proposed spinoff of The L Word that could be picked up when the series ends. If you’ve been reading up on your L Word […]

Quotage from NFL Gameday Morning

Well, it’s 11:10 p.m. ET. The Arizona Cardinals are blowing out the Carolina Panthers. And I guess CBS, ESPN and Fox are not going to send NFL pregame quotage so NFL Network’s NFL Gameday Morning will stand alone today. Lots of stuff from the two hour show so get ready to scroll. News and Sound […]

Saturday Links Later Than Expected

I did not mean for the Saturday links to be up so late. I was hoping to have them up this morning, but it seems as if I’ve been all over Rhode Island today and I finally have a free moment to get some links up. I hope that the stories I find are not […]

Your Friday Megalinks Late, But They're Here

Ok, I was about to do the megalinks this afternoon, but got called away to my home office where I didn’t finish work until after 8 p.m. Yes, it’s Friday, but sometimes you have to work late. Let’s do the Weekend Viewing Picks. It’s NFL Divisional Playoffs weekend and there are four regular season matchups. […]

Fox's Last BCS National Championship Game Goes Out On Top

It’s only appropriate that Fox’s last BCS National Championship Game goes out on a high note. Next year, ABC will carry the game at the Rose Bowl, then it will be all ESPN’s in 2011. The ratings for the BCS National Championship Game that ended with Florida beating Oklahoma, 24-14 won the night for Fox. […]

Friday Megalinks Will Be Late

I was about to start the megalinks and do them in two parts, however, I’ve called to the home office so I won’t be able to do the posts until tonight. My apologies. I’m trying to get a bunch of stuff out and also meet a few deadlines. I have been able to get a […]

MLB Network To Air Hall of Fame Announcements

Another reason why the MLB Network is quickly becoming the place to turn to for all things baseball. This Monday, MLB Network will air the Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2009 Announcements. I remember when WFAN would have them live. Then ESPNews aired the announcements over the past few years. Now, MLB Network is […]

NFL Says Wild Card '08 Most Watched Since Wild Card '03

The NFL has the numbers from last weekend’s Wild Card Playoffs and says it was the most watched in five years. I think there was high interest in the Indianapolis-San Diego game plus Philadelphia-Minnesota in the late Sunday afternoon slot did well. Here’s the release from the National Football League. ‘08 WILD CARD PLAYOFFS MOST […]

Mayne Street, Part 13

I guess ESPN is not counting the Robbie Maddison jump the satellite dish as an official webisode in the series and they’re calling this Part 13. Whatever. Actually, this is a pretty funny webisode. First, Sarah’s back. Second, Robin’s back. Third, it’s another in the formula where things go horribly wrong. In this webisode, Kenny, […]
