Let’s do the Monday links. Pretty eventful weekend. Conan O’Brien’s last Tonight Show on Friday night, Upset Saturday in college basketball and then NFL Championship Sunday which leaves Vikings fans with a very bitter aftertaste. A couple of reactions before I go to the linkage. Conan O’Brien went out the right way. I saw David […]

CBC has released its schedule for one of my favorite days in the hockey season and for me, it’s better than the NHL Winter Classic because instead of having one game, you get three games in one day and all from Canada. Plus, CBC celebrates the game like no one can. This year, the host […]

I’m seeing a few stories I can link to tonight. My new TV is acting up and the audio keeps cutting in and out. I’m going to have to call Vizio about this. Not happy. I shouldn’t have to keep changing channels or press the “AV” button on the remote for the audio to come […]

After not watching any sports on Sunday (visiting the three week old niece in NYC), I’m catching up with what I missed today. Starting with USA Today’s Michael Hiestand who looks over what the NFL pregame studio analysts had to say about the league’s bottom feeders.

For NHL fans, opening weekend is almost here. Plenty of games to watch Thursday, Friday and Saturday which is good for hockey fans like me. Unfortunately, DirecTV and Versus have not resolved their dispute and I still don’t have a TV, but that’s besides the point. Here’s CBC Sports’ announcement about Hockey Night in Canada’s […]

Here are some more press releases that came into the Fang’s Bites inbox on Friday. We’ll get these posted and go to bed. Busy day on Saturday. I won’t be near a computer as I’ll be in New York to get my first glimpse at my niece. It’s nice to write that. This is from […]

I can’t believe that I have not done an NHL TV Awards since I started this blog. I’ve done this for the NFL and College Football. An NHL TV Awards is long overdue. I’ll do this in the same format as the previous awards. This season, thanks to NHL Network, I was able to see […]

These are the two finalists for the new Hockey Night in Canada Theme as voted by Canadians. I have been following the contest, but I haven’t said anything about it until now.

I have a lot of stuff to catch up on so I’ll try to do the linkage quickly and then do work. Last night, I was hoping to do an update, but with the Red Sox-Angels game so compelling, I couldn’t take my eyes off my TV. And I’m behind on a couple of Amazing […]

Well, this is certainly welcome news. Maury Brown’s Biz of Hockey breaks news that CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada will now be available through the NHL Network. That means those of us who purchased the NHL Center Ice package no longer have to shell out $169.99 for an entire season and watch the games without […]

I’m about to start the links, however, I’m listening to the Howard Stern and Miss Howard TV for September is so annoying and is such a plugwhore that I’ve been trying to call in to tell him to get her off the air. I like someone who is organic and won’t be so forceful in […]
