It’s the Good Friday Brawl that took place at the old Montreal Forum between the Montreal Canadiens and the old Quebec Nordiques in the NHL Adams Division semifinals. Until Gary Bettman corrected the Divisional playoff […]

The Amazing Race 14 – Episode 8 Promo

Once again, the extremely talented puddin at Reality Fan Forum has posted another CBS promo for this Sunday’s episode of The Amazing Race 14. I speculate that Kisha & Jen and Mark & Michael have lost their passports. Margie & Luke along with Tammy & Victor are racing for first place at the mat. Take […]

NFL.com To Stream NFL Network's Draft Coverage

In what can be described as only a good move, NFL.com will be streaming NFL Network’s coverage of the Draft later this month. I think this is good. While it’s not good in its battle with big cable, it allows fans to get an alternative to ESPN’s coverage. I’ve watched NFL Network’s coverage and I […]

Linkage on a Masters Thursday

Today is the official first day of The Masters and it’ll be fun to watch online. I went over to Masters.com and they did not kick off live streaming of Amen Corner at 10:45 as scheduled, but I went over to Masters Live at CBSSports.com and found it webcasting as it was supposed to. Ian […]

The Amazing Race 14 – Episode 8 Short Promo

It’s been almost two weeks since we’ve had an Amazing Race episode (thank you, CBS … grrrrr) and the promos for this Sunday’s episode have been few and far between. Why is that? You would think the network bigwigs would want to promote the show to remind people that the show is back this week. […]

Lost Season 5, Episode 13 Promo

Another crazy episode of Lost tonight with the Smoke Monster somehow sparing Ben, but Alex returned to threaten him. Nice. I like it! And Alex seemed hotter, I don’t know why. But we still don’t know if Ben killed Penny. It appeared that Desmond saved her from being murdered by Mr. Linus, but ol’ Ben […]

Tale of the Tape – MLB Tonight vs. Baseball Tonight

Granted, it’s early in the season and we’ve only had three real editions of MLB Tonight on MLB Network compared to almost twenty years of Baseball Tonight on ESPN/ESPN2. I realize this post almost falls into Bill Simmons territory on ESPN.com, but I’ll do my best not to do this too often. In fact, I […]
