In Sports Illustrated, Andy Staples and Stewart Mandel look at the ten trends that will influence college football in this decade including how TV will be involved. At Pro Football Talk, Mike Florio says after using HBO’s Hard Knocks […]

After a two week hiatus, the Videos of the Week return continuing a theme I started last month, Best Sports TV Themes. You can check them out here, here, here, here and here. There are a good many sports themes, but there are also some bad ones. Not every sports theme is a home run […]

Ok. After hardly doing links this week, it’s time to make up for it today. And I hope to finish this during the day. Let’s get to it. First, the Weekend Viewing Picks. College Football has good matchups this weekend including USC at Washington on ABC, Michiga State at Notre Dame on NBC, and Texas […]

Ok, as I was out for most of the day in Connecticut, I’ll do the megalinks while I can as I have to head back into the office again tomorrow. The Weekend Viewing Picks have plenty to choose from as the NFL season kicks off in earnest on Sunday. College football has some early intriguing […]

First, CBS Sports has coverage of the Women’s Semifinals at the US Open on Friday and possibly part of the Nadal-Gonzalez match that was suspended Thursday night. WOMEN’S SEMI-FINALS HIGHLIGHT CBS SPORTS’ […]

Because I’ll be leaving my house at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday to be at a jobsite, I won’t be able to provide linkage while I’m there so to help tie you over, I’ll do some now. I’ve already done the Primetime & Late Night Viewing Picks for Tuesday and expect to see that at 9 a.m. […]

Time to do the links today. Once again, I ask if you could be so kind to donate to the Fang’s Bites TV fund. Trying to get two HD sets in time for the NFL season. Even if I can get half of the $1,200 target, that would be fine. So far, I’ve raised $66 […]

This is the schedule for the US Open. It used to be simple. USA Network with the weekday sessions from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. and the night sessions starting from 7:30 p.m. until 11 p.m. CBS would take over the weekends from 11:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. USA would have the night sessions. Now […]

For the last 25 years, we’ve been treated to USA Network’s coverage of the US Open. It was quite a joy to watch, however, the only problem was that when streaming online coverage became prevalent, USA only streamed its Labor Day coverage because of WWE commitments and because the matches were seen on CNBC for […]

I’m here to give you some links this morning. Still no response on my quest to get a couple of TV’s. If any of the sports networks wants to dump a couple of HDTV sets, let me know. Yes, I can buy a couple on my own, but I’ve budgeted money for other personal purchases […]

Because I got home late from the Ted Williams documentary screening to discover that my house had been flooded thanks to Rhode Island’s monsoon season, I could not post the press releases that I received yesterday. I have a lot of releases and I need to post them. This is part 1. An ESPN-centric press […]

I have to be honest with you. I’m a bit slow in getting the megalinks up to you today because of various issues. Yes work is one of them, but another is just being slow to get to the blog. Another issue was piecing together the premiere episode of The Amazing Race Asia 3 of […]

This is how to run a phone company. As promised, Verizon restored my internet access and I’m back online. I still don’t have my line 2 back on my phone, but at least I talked to the assistant to Broadview Networks’ vice president who contacted me last night. I do hope I can get it […]

Let’s give you some linkage tonight. David Scott of the Boston Sports Media Watch tells us that the Boston Herald is now talking with noted plagiarist Ron Borges about coming on board. Bad move if you ask me. Pete Dougherty of the Albany Times Union wonders why Bills-Jags is not being shown on the local […]

Thanks to the incompetence of Broadview Networks, I’m still without internet access at work. Not only did they screw up my phone lines, they also rewired the lines so it knocked out my DSL lines. This is all fucked up. If you have Broadview, cancel them and switch to another company. And if you’re considering […]

I’m here late after being at the office all day. I’ve been also dealing with the phone company which has been very unresponsive to my requests to correct the problem. In fact, I’ll out the company, Broadview Networks. This company plays games, drops your phone call and does not call back after it makes promises […]
