Work has been crazy and I haven’t been able to provide linkage as I would like. It also doesn’t help when I have to shuttle between two offices and I have to borrow a car as I’m still without my own transportation. Eventually this will get resolved, but for now, I’m still depending on others […]

Kind of strange to see a press release from ESPN on Wimbledon on the night before the event is to take place, but with ESPN in World Cup mode, it’s kind of understandable. Let’s take a look at the coverage as ESPN2 and ESPNU will have coverage this week. ESPN2 is airing World Cup games […]

I’ll do as much linkage as I can. I was at a jobsite already and I have to go out later so while I can, I’ll provide some links. First, technology writer Edward C. Baig of USA Today writes that he enjoyed watching the World Cup in 3-D, but it will take more than that […]

Tennis Channel announces that it has signed Jimmy Connors for its Wimbledon coverage which begins next Monday, June 21. As Tennis Channel is not the main U.S. cable rightsholder for the event, ESPN2 is, the network will air taped coverage at night with segments introduced by host Bill Macatee, Martina Navratilova and now Connors. One […]

I’m going to forego the megalinks for one week only. I spent Friday attending a memorial service for my mother’s close friend. I wrote my thoughts about her on Twitter, but I’ll expand on them here. Even though my mother’s friend wasn’t a blood relative, she was close enough for me to call her “Auntie”. […]

One more press release post before I hit the road. There are a lot of them today, but two can stand alone.

Now that Wimbledon is over and we can move on to other sporting events, I can go back and look at some of the moments of the recently past fortnight. This year’s tournament was quite fun to watch and yes, having found a way to watch the BBC for the entire two weeks was absolutely […]

There are enough links for me to do an update. Haven’t done a second linkfest during the day in a long time so here we go. Do we have a media feud brewing? Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post’s DC Sports Bog goes after Keith Olbermann for a post he did over the weekend in […]

I’m in a bit of withdrawal from having morning tennis over the last two weeks and with Howard Stern still on vacation at […]

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 […]
