I’m blogging from home as I await the DirecTV serviceman to arrive to fix my dish. In the meantime, I’ll provide some links as I catch up on last night’s Mad Men episode. The Red Sox have to learn to play games in a 3 hour window. Can you imagine if the Dodgers-Cubs series extended […]

I’ve been so busy today and I was also giving my notebook a break from today. I’m all over the place, but at least I have a moment to do some linkage and I’ll also be doing the regular quotage from the Sunday NFL pregame shows, except for the NFL Today (contact me, CBS Sports!). […]

Yesterday’s baseball action involving the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins along with the New York Mets and the Milwaukee Brewers was absolutely compelling television. If you had the MLB Extra Innings package on cable or satellite or the MLB.TV package on the internet, you could flip back and forth between the games. I do […]

With the Mets choking for the second year in a row, we have an interesting look for the National League Division Series which begin on Wednesday. I have to say switching between FSN Wisconsin and SNY between 4:10 p.m. and 5:10 p.m. was quite interesting, especially when Ryan Braun hit a two run home run […]

Last October in its first year of airing the MLB playoffs, TBS tried something new by supplying online content to compliment its postseason coverage. The result was a studio show, called “Hot Corner” co-hosted by the always lovely Heather Catlin, tool Matt D’Agostino and the equally lovely Kelly Cross. It was quite popular garnering over […]

It’s a great Monday to be a New England sports fan. The Patriots stomped on Miami, Boston College is ranked #2 in the BCS and of course, the Red Sox beat Cleveland in the American League Championship Series coming back from a 3-1 deficit. Now, you may have noticed that I’m a diehard Red Sox […]

Time to give you some links today. Mel Bracht of The Daily Oklahoman writes that Cox Communications will beam 25 games of the New Orleans Hornets into Oklahoma City.

Last Saturday, SNL did a bunch of sports promo parodies including two on the really stupid Dane Cook/MLB ads. Dane Cook is a hack and somehow managed to talk his way to getting this gig. NOTE – As of October 22, NBC has taken all of its videos off YouTube so the ALCS videos is […]

Arizona pulled to within 6-4 in the 8th, but Manny Corpas came on to get a 4 out save and wasn’t it fitting that Eric Byrnes made the final out? As I’ve mentioned, it’s been fun watching TBS Hot Corner. The show got off to a shaky start, but the show overcame that and hit […]
