ESPN has officially handed down its suspension to Tony Kornheiser and it’s not for three days as originally reported, but for two weeks. Apparently the Powers That Be at ESPN decided that what Mr. Tony said about Hannah Storm’s wardrobe was egregious and harmful. So the suspension that apparently began yesterday will last for ten […]

Let’s do the Tuesday linkage. Had to finish some paperwork and I’ll do linkage now. From Sports Business Journal/Sports Business Daily, Olympics ratings are still up from 2006, but there’s another showdown with American Idol coming tonight. SBJ/SBD notes that NBC’s daytime ratings for the Olympics are decent as well. John Ourand from the Sports […]

I’m ready to do links and was going to incorporate this story into them, but it appears this Tony Kornheiser/Hannah Storm story is growing legs, and I’m not talking about Hannah’s although they are quite lovely. Ok, that’s disingenuous. I go on. Last week, we learned that Tony Kornheiser made some disparaging remarks on his […]

I love the comments and e-mails I’m getting from those defending NBC’s coverage. Look, NBC has its reasons for holding events, but if it’s going to do that, it should at least allow us to watch it live online and then cut it up as much as they want in primetime. It really is an […]

Last week, I gave you various NBA on CBS opens. Now it’s NBC’s turn. In 1989, NBC outbid CBS for the rights to the Association. It ended up being one of the worst decisions for CBS Sports as the NBA witnessed great growth and ratings under NBC’s watch. The Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan won […]
