I’ll give you some more links regarding the Costas Now show. As I was leaving my house, I flipped to HBO2 and author Buzz Bissinger was blaming Deadspin’s Will Leitch for his gout and the reduction of the Polar Ice Caps. Bissinger is a first class jerk. Anyway, people are still writing about Tuesday’s Town […]

Thanks to Awful Announcing for posting these at his site. Here are the videos from last night’s Costas Now segment on blogs. Here’s the taped introduction: And the segment itself: UPDATE: Awful Announcing has the rest of the 18 minute segment: Bissinger really comes off badly here. Costas isn’t much help either.

Well, as I open my e-mail inbox this morning, I find plenty of reaction to last night’s Costas Now on HBO, especially the segment on blogs. Now, I have yet to see this, I have recorded Costas Now on DVD and will watch it tonight, but there’s plenty of anger directed towards Costas for his […]

It’s a holiday for some of you. I’m at work right now dealing with an employee who never shuts up, but I’ll try to get this post in before he starts talking again. From Michael Hiestand of USA Today, he writes that the Fox crew at Daytona was not short of enthusiasm during the last […]

Now that the Congressional Steroid Hearings are over, I can say that was a tremendous waste of time. Some Congressmen talked for talking’s sake. Others had no idea that quoting Jose Canseco wasn’t the best of ideas. Certainly some interesting developments like discovering Roger Clemens’ nanny actually placed him at Canseco’s house for a barbeque […]

Last night I took a break from the blog and my computer and watched my URI Rams inexplicably lose to St. Louis, the same team that scored just 20 points against George Washington a week ago, then watched some Australian Open coverage. I am happy to see Tennis Channel pick up early evening coverage at […]

I’ll give you a few links before I go to bed. First, Neil Best from Newsday who says he’ll stop blogging and write his column, then post four or five entries in the interim. Funny guy. Anyway, in writing tidbits about Chip Carey of TBS, Neil noted that the TBS crew was not biased against […]

Time for some links on this Tuesday night. Let me say The War is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. It’s compelling, the footage from the front lines taken by newsreels or by official military filmmakers is amazing. And hearing how people coped at home in four cities, Waterbury, CT; Mobile, AL; […]

To be honest, this was not one of the stories I was following today, but when a guy like Harold Reynolds speaks to Deadspin, I have to provide a link. First off, nice of HR to speak to Editor-in-Chief Will Leitch at the MLB.com offices and second, this shows that HR actually gets the internet: […]
