Let’s do some linkage this evening. Lazy night for sports, but never a lazy night for blogging. Let’s do the links then I have some housekeeping to do later. Blog housekeeping, not house housekeeping. That’s for later. I’ll start with Friend of Fang’s Bites and fellow puckhead Ken Schott of the Schenectady Gazette who is […]

Time to give you some linkage today. Quite a few good links today. First, I’ll give you Kristine Leahy’s “The Five” segment from WEEI.com today. I have to admit this is a conflict of interest.

This comes courtesy of Jimmy Traina at Sports Illustrated’s Hot Clicks. This is just amazing. Compare it to what Liz Hurley wore to the premiere of “Four Weddings and a Funeral” in 1994. Give it to Erin for wearing her dress. She pulled it off. If she wore something similar to Liz, I’m sure she […]

In the last webisode of Mayne Street for a while, Kenny gets a huge scoop. The problem is getting the tape to Bristol for air. Nice to see Alison Becker get a prominent role this time. Chris reminds me of Adam Brody of “The O.C.” for some reason.

Rarely do I combine press releases and links, but I’ll do it for one time only. Jim Williams of the Washington Examiner writes about Fox Sports Joe Buck and Tim McCarver combining for their record 11th All-Star Game together. That’s a lot. And don’t forget you can vote for the All-Star Game MVP tonight. FAN […]
