Listening to Scott Baio on the Howard Stern Show on Sirius Satellite Radio. The women he’s banged. If I only had half of his number, I’d be a very happy man. I started watching “Scott Baio is 45 … and Single” on VH-1 and it’s actually very good. Instead of him being crazy, he’s quite […]

Well, I keep finding stuff and I need to pass them along to you, my loyal visitors. From Canada, there’s a shakeup for the venerable Hockey Night in Canada on CBC. The legendary Bob Cole has been signed to a two year contract, but will have a reduced role. He’ll no longer be the lead […]

Good morning. Back to work on this Monday, but let’s get into the links. First, Michael Hiestand of USA Today has kind words for ESPN/ABC for coverage of the Open Championship this past weekend saying it was laid back and not over the top. Jim Williams in his Watch This! blog in the DC/Baltimore Examiner […]

Tom Hoffarth of the Los Angeles Daily News spoke to Dan Patrick about many things including setting the record straight about the WFAN morning slot, the Price is Right hosting position and his new show for the Content Factory. Matt Hayes of the […]

Ok, let’s do a mini-update. I’ll do a full blown update tonight. Let’s start with Sports Business blogger extraordinaire Darren Rovell of CNBC.com. He breaks the story of Nike actually suspending the Michael Vick shoe that was supposed to be unveiled next month, but in the wake of Vick’s indictment by the Feds and an […]

Long week and I had some internet issues this morning, but they appear to have been cleared up. As long as I have the internet connection back, I’ll do some links. Let’s go to Darren Rovell of CNBC.com who has stuff on Michael Vick, who has been accused of one of the most heinous crimes, […]

Ok, here are a few more links for you today. I saw this the other day and wondered if I should link to it and after reading it, I’ll provide it today. John Ryan of the San Jose Mercury News theorizes that Barry Bonds sits out Giants games televised on ESPN on purpose. The Sports […]

Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune says the announcing crews will have a Fox flavor. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel’s Bob Wolfey also has […]

In his blog at the Houston Chronicle website, David Barron writes about colleague Richard Justice who will host a show on the newest sports […]

Good morning. Time for some links. First, a couple of links from the 38 Cliches blog. First, Dave O’Brien and Glenn Geffner worked the Toronto – Red Sox series over the weekend. For some reason, the Red Sox allowed Joe Castiglione to take the first series after the All Star Game off. So, LC chronicled […]

Let’s check some links for you. By the way, I’m getting hooked on Hell’s Kitchen on Fox. Chef Gordon Ramsay runs his kitchen like a drill sergeant, but he wants the trainees to learn. If you haven’t seen his other show, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares on BBC America, it’s tremendous. It’s so tremendous that Fox is […]

It appears that once again, the All Star Game won the night for Fox. The Sports Media Watch blog says the game easily defeated NBC’s premiere of “The Singing Bee” (no, I refuse to link to that show). It’s easy to say the game’s ratings dropped again from last year, but again, I say don’t […]

First, let me start by discussing the Home Run Derby cablecast on ESPN. Once again, Chris Berman was doing the play-by-play, Joe Morgan did the color and joining them this year, was former Giants and Cubs manager Dusty Baker. I guess the only reason Baker was there was that he had managed in AT&T Park. […]

Time for an update on links before I end the workday. Whenever I look for fresh news on The Big Ten Network, I’ll constantly find new links. Today is no exception. Over at the Centre Daily Times in Central Pennsylvania, Robert K. Johnson says there’s no need for a channel devoted to the conference (be […]

Since I wasn’t able to provide links this morning, I’ll give you some now. No Dan Patrick today and thinking about it, he’ll probably be back on Monday so we’ll get our big announcement then. Onto other stuff. I love juicy gossip on the sports biz. Neil Best in his Newsday blog says MLB is […]

I’d rather have the 4th of July holiday on either a Monday or Friday and next year, being a leap year, the 4th will fall on a Friday, but this year, it’s in the middle of the week so we all have to deal. But as many have taken the week off, some of us […]
