It was announced back in February. This weekend, it becomes reality. ESPN360.com whose name really didn’t make any sense becomes the more sensible ESPN3.com on Sunday. The mission statement will remain the same, plenty of live streaming events and archived material on the site, but it also becomes more interactive with integration with Twitter and […]

Well, I purposely didn’t do links on Thursday and on Friday, an unexpected joy fell into my lap as my Twitter Trophy Wife, Amanda Rykoff, a.k.a The OCD Chick, came up from New York for a conference, so we hung out Friday night. And while there, I caught up with baseball superwriter, Jonah Kieri and […]

On this really snowy day in Southern Rhode Island, I’m at home, warm, toasty, trying to find a DirecTV channel that isn’t blocked by the snow. While parts up north hardly received any snow, we’re getting walloped here in southern Rhode Island. No fun. I’ll do links while I can. Eric Fisher of the Sports […]

Yes, we all laughed when the movie “Dodgeball” had an “ESPN: The Ocho”. Well, maybe the movie wasn’t that far off. Today, we received this announcement that ESPN will rebrand its broadband service from ESPN360.com to ESPN3.com.

After spending most of yesterday and this morning at the home office, I’m now at my regular place of work and can give you some links. It always throws me off when I’m at the home office and have to behave. A couple to tell you in the interim. I almost was a guest on […]

Now that I’ve finished my work for the day and walked five laps around my office building, I’ll do the links. I’ve found that I’m more productive in my new office than the last building.

As I look at my Review of Real Sports for 12/23/08, I realize I may have gone too long on that post and instead of cutting and pasting, maybe I should have linked to each segment, but then it would I actually like having the original reviews. It’s something I should think about for next […]

I’ve received enough press releases on this Monday to warrant a full post. Sometimes, one press release can stand alone, but in this case, I’ll be more than happy to string a few together.
