I have to thank my good friend, Amanda for giving me the title of this post. NBC is currently showing the Roger Federer-Ivo Karlovic match which finished before 10 a.m. ESPN2 was not allowed to show this match. And it joined the Tommy Haas-Novak Djokovic match in progress, but not after showing the Williams sisters […]

Let’s do some linkage for you on this Tuesday. One sad piece of news for me at least, is the departure of David Scott of Boston Sports Media Watch. Lately, he’s been working on a book with Kentucky coach John Calipari so his blogging has been sparse in recent weeks, but when he was at […]

I was watching the U.S. Open on NBCSports.com, but it was eating up my memory as the video player was slowing things down. I’ve also found […]

I know, a three day weekend and you’re dragging. I’m aware that you’re feeling this way, but it’s never fun to go back to work after a three day holiday. But we’re back and it’s time for linkage. Yesterday’s Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal match at Wimbledon took my concentration so I did not want to link […]
