CNBC’s Darren Rovell can’t believe there’s an official ladder of the Final Four. Newsday’s Neil Best has a breakdown of where the NCAA Tournament games are going to. […]

In the next to last webisode of the series, Kenny and the gang go out for a meal and as usual, things don’t go as well as planned when more people latch onto their table. There are cameos by chef Bobby Flay and former cast members of “The Sopranos”, Dominic Chianese, Steve Schirippa and Tony […]

I guess ESPN is not counting the Robbie Maddison jump the satellite dish as an official webisode in the series and they’re calling this Part 13. Whatever. Actually, this is a pretty funny webisode. First, Sarah’s back. Second, Robin’s back. Third, it’s another in the formula where things go horribly wrong. In this webisode, Kenny, […]

I really should sleep, but because I see a lot of stories on the net for linkage, there’s definitely enough to warrant linkage. Starting with Bruce Allen of Boston Sports Media Watch, he notes that WEEI’s press release announcing the signing of bloated Big Show blowhard Glenn Ordway is filled self-adulation. David Scott of BSMW […]

In this webisode, Kenny tries to get motorcycle daredevil Robbie Maddison to jump ESPN’s satellite dishes, but of course, nothing turns out like Kenny wants. Plus, this is a cheap way for ESPN to promote Maddison’s New Year’s Eve jump in Las Vegas. In addition, watch for a funny cameo by Linda Cohn. Here’s some […]

This is entitled “Beijing”. Kenny, producer Sarah, shooter Cowboy and production assistant Jordan find they can’t go to Communist China for the Olympics so they try to fake it in New York’s Chinatown with some disastrous results. To be honest, this was a promising premise and from what I saw of the preview last night, […]

After a delay for the Thanksgiving Weekend, Part 6 of Mayne Street is out. In this webisode, Kenny, producer Sarah and executive Robin share a room at a hotel and quickly find themselves foils on a website. Enjoy. Robin is a bedwetter. Actually, this one is pretty funny.

This is the 5th installment of the so-so web series, Mayne Street. I’ll continue to post them through its conclusion. In this webisode, Kenny prepares for SportsCenter five minutes before air just like any good SportsCenter anchor would. We love Alison Becker as Sarah. “Kenny!!!! Where are your pants????” This is definitely the funniest of […]

Here’s the 4th installment of the ESPN web series, Mayne Street. In this episode, Kenny has to conduct a major interview in a clown suit. Watch and you’ll see why. Hmmmm. I’m not seeing the humor in this one. Promising start, but not very good at the end.

Through all of the BCS news, I almost forgot that the third webisode of Mayne Street was out today. This installment deals with Kenny playing poker with his boss, Evan Mintz, SportsCenter anchor Neil Everett and SportsCenter anchor Chris McKendry. Kind of funny. I did laugh out loud a few times.

This is the second installment of the ESPN web series, “Mayne Street”. In this webisode, Kenny meets his insane 26 year old boss. Quickie review. It’s not bad. Kenny with the faux homeless guy plugging Louie’s Original Roast Beef was funny. Otherwise, the character of Kenny’s boss is not funny. Overall grade – B. EDITED […]

Today is one of those days where it’s technically the weekend, but I have to do so much work around the house that it feels like a workday. Not supposed to be that way, but I have to catch up with stuff that I couldn’t get to when I fell off the ladder in the […]

I was not expecting to give you links today, but while I have some time, I figured why not. Barry Horn talks to Mary Carillo of CBS/ESPN/HBO/NBC about Wimbledon. The San Antonio Express-News tearfully says goodbye to a long-time institution, former columnist and broadcaster Dan Cook who died Thursday at the age of 81. There […]
