Ok, I won’t be in all day on Tuesday, although I will have my iPad and I’ll try to post any breaking news from a conference in Taunton, MA tomorrow. But while I’m in the office now, it’s time for some linkage. Starting with Sports Business Daily, we learn that Game 4 of the World […]

Before the season, Indianapolis-New Orleans, a rematch of Super Bowl XLIV was quite the attractive matchup to go head-to-head against the World Series. But when Peyton Manning announced he could not play and the Colts acknowledged he would be lost for the season, the game became less sexy. Then the Colts started losing and by […]

We’re hearing that Game 4 of the World Series on Fox outrated the Sunday Night Football blowout on NBC last night. The World Series which ended at a 4-0 win for the Texas Rangers over the St. Louis Cardinals stayed close for most of the night while Sunday Night Football resulted in a lopsided 62-7 […]

Just when you think Bob Costas would take a stand, he comes off with an extremely wishy-washy commentary on Tim Tebow’s future. Not my favorite commentary and certainly not as strong as his Al Davis comments two weeks ago. We also have the Football Night in America talking about dirty hits and the AFC West. […]

Here are the partial transcripts of tonight’s interviews that […]

Before the season, any primetime game involving the Indianapolis Colts was big, but without Peyton Manning, the Colts are just a pedestrian team. And with the Colts winless, it’s hard to really hype the rematch of Super Bowl XLIV between Indy and the New Orleans Saints. This is the second time for the Colts on […]

In fact, it was the lowest viewership of the season to date, garnering an […]
