A Few More Saturday Links

A couple of more links to give you on this Saturday.

Jim Williams of the DC/Baltimore Examiner writes in his Watch This! blog about the Maryland Millions horse race which will be carried on MASN and other events on TV today.

The Sports Media Watch has its predictions for the TV ratings this weekend.

Joe Davidson of the Sacramento Bee says local viewers won’t see Pats-Cowboys and will be fed Raiders-Chargers instead.

Chris Marchand of the Midland (MI) Daily News writes about Central Michigan University naming an academic center in Dick Enberg’s honor.

The Fang’s Bites blog has been following the Big Ten Network vs. Comcast/Mediacom/Charter/Time Warner since the beginning, but lost in that story is a battle brewing between ESPN and Comcast over ESPNU. UConn fans who want to see their football and basketball teams will not able to watch a handful of games slated for ESPNU and Jerry McGuire of the Hartford Courant has that story.

Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press believes that reduced access to Big Ten games is the reason why the conference doesn’t have as many teams in the Top 25.

Comcast SportsNet Portland will launch on November 1.

NBC Sports tries to promote the Sunday night matchup between New Orleans and Seattle.

Here’s TV Guide’s interview with Fox’s Joe Buck.

What did I tell you? After I linked to the Sports Media Watch’s story on the ratings for Game 1 the NLCS, I told you the media would harp that it was the lowest rated NLCS game ever despite the migration to cable. That’s the focus of the Canadian Press’s story.

That’s it for now
