As I’m helping to watch my nephew today, I have a very short window to get links in before he wakes up so let’s get this done before I get delayed. The big story is the Jevon Belcher-Kasandra Perkins tragedy over the weekend. Many of the links deal with how CBS’ The NFL Today dealt […]

I was wondering when I was going to receive the quotage for NBC’s Football Night in America. Usually, it comes earlier, but for whatever reason, it came later than usual. That’s ok. As long as it comes into the Fang’s Bites inbox before I turn in, it’s all good. A lot of content in Sunday’s […]

I missed this as I was taking care of my nephew. But signing on Twitter, there is a lot of reaction to this halftime commentary on Bob Costas which is based on an article written by Fox Sports’ Jason Whitlock on the tragic murder-suicide of Jevon Belcher of the Kansas City Chiefs. As you know […]

We complete the early Sunday NFL pregame quotage with ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown. The show spent considerable time on the Jovan Belcher/Kasandra Perkins tragedy in Kansas City. I’m not a fan of Countdown and rarely watch the show, but today, it performed rather well and made some very good decisions in reporting the story. We […]

Ok, on this surreal Sunday, let’s provide the Sunday NFL pregame quotage. I won’t be around much this evening, so I don’t know what I’ll be able to post. I’ll do my best to do the complete quotage plus do the Viewing Picks, but on Monday, I’ll be away as well so I’ll do my […]

The Sunday NFL pregame shows are hardly bastions of journalism. Their purpose is to preview the upcoming games, provide late breaking injury news and react to the news of the day. The shows have become filled with the analysts attempting to provide one-liners and laughing at lame jokes. When serious news breaks like the Jovan […]

Tough day today. Indeed it is. The NFL is dealing with the Jovan Belcher murder-suicide of his girlfriend that leaves a beautiful three month old girl without parents and the Kansas City Chiefs wondering how they will acknowledge him. ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown acknowledged Kasandra Perkins, Belcher’s girlfriend asked viewers to remember her as well. […]

In primetime, NBC airs the Philadelphia Eagles-Dallas Cowboys game live from the Jerry Jones World of Extravagance in Arlington, TX. NBC and the NFL chose to keep the game in the primetime slot despite Philadelphia’s pitiful record and Dallas’ shaky appearances on Sunday Night Football. The ratings for Cowboys games are usually through the roof […]

Anyway, time for some Friday megalinks. Been doing well with the links, except for Thursday, but let’s continue doing them […]
