Well, I don’t have to rush back to another office today so I’ll provide some much desired linkage. We’ve already heard about Brett Favre this morning and I don’t want to suckered into another summer of “Will he or won’t he” again. Tired of the whole machinations and ESPN having Rachel Nichols stationed in Mississippi […]

I’ll do the Friday megalinks in two parts today. I’m still trying to find out what happened with the launch of the MLB Network last night.

I’ve been so busy today and I was also giving my notebook a break from today. I’m all over the place, but at least I have a moment to do some linkage and I’ll also be doing the regular quotage from the Sunday NFL pregame shows, except for the NFL Today (contact me, CBS Sports!). […]

As the news broke late this afternoon that the NFL was going to have CBS and NBC simulcast NFL Network’s feed of Saturday’s Patriots-Giants game, I was thinking who won and who lost. Right off the bat, you can see some obvious winners like the majority of NFL fans who now won’t have to resort […]
