We have a couple of issues today and we go over them in this post. Earlier today, Mike Wise of the Washington Post thought it would be a good idea to put some fake news on Twitter just to see the reaction. The idea according to Wise would be that other reporters would fail to […]

We have less than a month to go in summer and with our Labor Day weekend coming next week, we all know that September means school, end of vacations and the like. It also means football in earnest. Where I’m going with this thought I don’t know, but I’m feeling melancholy that the summer is […]

This broke while I was away from my computer. AOL has suspended columnist Jay Mariotti from Fanhouse and a spokesman has said he will not write anything new for the web service for the foreseeable future. Richard Deitsch from Sports Illustrated who’s been breaking a lot of news lately, got the statement from AOL and

Let’s get some linkage done while I can. Starting with Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch who looks at the arrest of Jay “The Rat” Mariotti over the weekend and ESPN’s Jenn Brown endorsing Icehouse Beer. Rich Rovito of the Business Journal of Milwaukee reports that ESPN has apparently put the kybosh on Brown’s endorsement contract. Richard […]

Now that the wedding hangover is just about over, I’m back at work, also blogging and ready for another week in the dog days of August. Let’s go. USA Today’s Michael Hiestand has CBS’ Phil Simms discussing the enigma that is Brett Favre. CBSSports.com’s Dennis Dodd says eight Big 12 schools are in discussion to […]

On a very rainy Sunday in the Northeast, let’s give you linkage which you have been sorely missing over the last few days. As you might know, I’ve been at a wedding and got back late on Saturday. I did provide some fresh material while I was gone and I thank Sports Illustrated’s Jimmy Traina […]

USA Today’s Michael Hiestand has the ratings of various sports programs from the weekend. The Sports Media Watch notes that HBO Real Sports host Bryant […]

Here are some links for you on this late night Monday going into early Tuesday. First a favor to ask. My lovely friend, Steelergurl, is asking you to fill out a survey on NFL and new media. It won’t take more than five minutes of your time. If you’re an NFL fan, she wants to […]

Let’s do linkage for today. Lots of stuff to get to. My back is killing me today. I slept on my side the other night and now, my upper back is hurting like an MF’er. I couldn’t sleep last night and I just got up at 5 a.m. No choice. Doing your links now. Reid […]

Some of you may have gone back to work today. Some of you might have extended your holiday weekend today. Whatever situation you’re in, linkage doesn’t stop so we get some today. I’m in a bit of withdrawal from having morning tennis over the last two weeks and with Howard Stern still on vacation at […]

Friday will have your usual posts, Primetime & Late Night Viewing Picks, Weekend Viewing Picks, Follow Friday and the megalinks. I know Saturday will be busy so I may not be able to […]

We have lots of material on this first real workday of 2009. We begin with David Scott of Boston Sports Media Watch who jumped on NESN for botching the end of the Boston College-North Carolina game. The lovely Jessica Heslam of the Boston Herald has the tepid NESN explanation of what happened. Jessica reports that […]

I see that there’s enough linkage out there on this Monday to warrant an update. One of the pioneers in sportswriting died on Sunday. Terry Olberle, sports editor emeritus of the Winston-Salem (NC) Journal remembers Mary Garber who died yesterday at the age of 92. As far as anyone can determine, Garber was the first […]

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 […]

I never thought I would ever link to Roger Ebert in this blog, but here I am, about to give you Ebert’s open letter to Jay Mariotti. I love Roger. He’s one of the best movie critics in the country and I watched his show, “Siskel & Ebert” just to see one of them rip […]
