Time for me to give you links. Got a late start so let’s get cracking on links. I do want to thank Peter Lukas of the Uni Watch blog for linking to my Peter Puck post yesterday. It brought me a lot of new traffic to Fang’s Bites and if you’re here due to Uni […]

Monday's Back to Work Links

First, I’m happy to have my internet back at work. It only took three work days to solve the problem, but I have to thank the girl, Nancy from Verizon for helping me out. One of the best tech support people I have ever dealt with. The people last week who were supposed to call […]

Eck does a great job on NESN on Red Sox broadcasts and got national exposure last season during TBS’ postseason coverage. He’ll work game broadcasts this season. Turner Sports Inks MLB […]

The Amazing Race 14 – Your Target Is Your Partner's Face

We start in Stechelberg, Switzerland the pitstop for the first leg of in a race around the world. From the open, we learn of the massive respect the other teams have for Margie & Luke. Tammy calls her “the bionic woman” and says Luke, the race’s first deaf contestant “very observant”. All of teams say […]

Fang's Bites Musical Interlude – Live

This is one of my favorite 1990’s bands. Their CD, Throwing Copper, is one of the best I have ever listened to from beginning to end. So I’ll give you three or four songs from Live. Great songs. And when DirecTV played one of their recent concerts in Amsterdam, I was reminded how much I […]

Links on a Rainy Sunday

It may not be raining where you are, but it is in Southern New England. Such a drab day, but it’s time for linkage so let’s get to it. Newsday’s Neil Best goes over his week in blogging. Over to the New York Post’s Phil Mushnick who says Bruce Springsteen handled a ticket reselling scheme […]

Videos of the Week – Peter Puck

Since last week was the debut of “The Adventures of Digger and Friends” on Fox’s NASCAR coverage, let’s go to one of the cartoons that probably started this whole Fox trend of using animated characters to help promote its sports properties. As a kid, I got to watch Peter Puck when NBC had the NHL […]

It's A Saturday Link Thing

Let’s give you some links on this Saturday. I have some work to do, but I’ll get the linkage out of the way first. Rarely do I start the links with Barry Horn, but I’m going to today. He writes in his weekly column that the NFL is back with the Scouting Combine, all of […]

David Ortiz Addresses Relationship with Banned Trainer

On Comcast SportsNet New England’s Sports Tonight program from Fort Myers, FL, Red Sox Designated Hitter David Ortiz talked with hosts Gary Tanguay and Michael “Tootsie” Felger. He addressed a New York Daily News report that he was linked to Alex Rodriguez trainer Angel Presinal who has been banned from all MLB clubhouses. As you […]

There's Even a Wipeout Australia!

I guess it’s a Wipeout World and we just live in it. Channel 9 in Australia has picked up the show which premiered this month Down Under. Take a look. You can’t avoid Wipeout. I wonder if Canada is next.

Wipeout on the Beeb?

To show you that some of the best TV programming goes overseas, well, in this case, maybe not so best, Wipeout which has had decent ratings on ABC is on the BBC. There are a lot of the same tasks, the punching wall, the big rubber balls, the sarcastic commentary. Here’s a preview of the […]

The Amazing Race 14 – Phil's Video Diary #2

CBS has posted the second installment of Phil’s Video Diary and the production crew is in Germany (not Austria as the video and crew state), but Phil is a bit giddy after non-stop travel for four days so as you can see, he’s forgotten where he is. Understandable. This is for the second episode of […]

Sports Using a Dry Erase Board

In one of the strangest videos I’ve ever seen, TV station WECT in Wilmington, NC had to resort to using a dry erase board during its 11 p.m. sportscast on Thursday. The newscast apparently lost its graphics and tape so the sports anchor read scores from a high school basketball tournament while the news anchor […]

A Friday Megalinks Thing

We’re here with the Friday megalinks and plenty of stuff to go over today. Let’s start it off with the Weekend Viewing Picks.
