A Lazy Friday Megalink Session

I have to be honest with you. I’m a bit slow in getting the megalinks up to you today because of various issues. Yes work is one of them, but another is just being slow to get to the blog. Another issue was piecing together the premiere episode of The Amazing Race Asia 3 of […]

Late Thursday Night Stuffage

I’ll give you some more stuff tonight. First, a quick update on Broadview Networks. Well, the repairman showed up at my office at noon today and proceeded to fix the problem. It took 2.5 hours to get everything up and working again. Of course at the end, he handed a bill which totaled $375 when […]

Your Wednesday Night Linkage

Time to give you linkage now. One of these days, I’ll have internet access at work again so I can give you these during the day, but in the meantime, I have to do links at night and provide you with news when I can. This is so silly, but Broadview Networks which is the […]

Last Olympic-Sized Friday Megalinks Until 2010

This marks the final weekend of Olympics action and it’s really time for the Games to end. I enjoyed the Games really up until Wednesday when I started to get burned out on the Mary Carillo puff pieces, the tape delay of track & field despite knowing the results and stories about Tiki Barber, whether […]

Some Tuesday Linkage

Time for some linkage on this Tuesday. Starting with Sports Business Daily/Journal’s Olympics website, Tripp Mickle and David Broughton write that the ratings for the first week for the Games were so good that the traditional second week tune-out should not hurt its overall numbers. The SBD/SBJ Olympics site reports that gymnast Nastia Liukin and […]

Monday Early Afternoon Links

I’m doing some work, but also keep checking the internet for more linkage for you and I’ve found enough to warrant an update.

New Afternoon Drive Show at 890 ESPN Radio

David Scott of Boston Sports Media Watch is on top of the announcement of a new show at 890 ESPN Radio in Boston. Instead of going for a heavy hitter, 890 ESPN is going for a more low-keyed approach in afternoon drive. But instead of going 3-7 p.m. or 2-6 p.m., the station will have […]

The 2008-09 ESPN Family of Networks Post-Season Schedule

BREAKING NEWS: Michael Felger Leaves 890 ESPN Boston to Join WEEI.com

In a topsy turvy Friday, David Scott has learned that Michael Felger has left 890 ESPN in Boston and will join Boston Herald colleague Rob Bradford at WEEI.com. For WEEI.com to get two heavy hitters from the Herald in Bradford and Felger, this gives the site huge credibility. The suits at Entercom must be planning […]

A Thursday Night Link Thing

This blogging schedule is upside down. Friday megalinks may be sometime in the afternoon as one of my employees is expected to be in the office which means I’ll have to listen to his stories. So tough when one employee doesn’t know when to shut up. The Sports Media Watch says NASCAR on TNT topped […]

This Spotty Blogging is Killing Me

After not blogging since Friday night (not by choice), I’m back with a vengeance today. My home computer is totally on the fritz. I looked at a nice notebook that I’ll be getting over the next few days. And because I was out Sunday helping my sister move into a new apartment and at a […]
