Some Quick Monday Sports Media Thoughts

by Ken, under 30 for 30, Big Ten Network, Bill Walton, CBS Sports, DirecTV, Doug Gottlieb, ESPN, Fox Sports, NCAA Tournament, Pac 12, Pac 12 Network, SEC, SEC Network, Turner Sports

Haven’t done a sports media thoughts post in a while. Figured you’re owed one. Let’s do this in bullet form, of course.

ESPN’s 30 for 30 series has been good since it started, but Sunday’s “Survive and Advance” documentary on the 1983 North Carolina State NCAA Championship team elevated it to something very special. Directed by Jonathan Hock and executive produced by the team’s point guard, Derek Whittenburg, the documentary chronicled the miracle NC State team that entered the ACC Tournament with 10 losses and needed to beat Wake Forest, North Carolina and Virginia to get to the NCAA Tournament and did. And then continued its run to the Final Four where it beat Georgia to advance to the National Championship Game against Phi Slamma Jama, Houston.
There were interviews with several members of the team including Thurl Bailey, Whittenburg, Terry Gannon who is now a broadcaster for ESPN and NBC, Cozell McQueen and others. The only ones missing were Jim Valvano who died of cancer in 1993 and Lorenzo Charles who scored the winning basket who died in a bus accident in 2011. Director Hock captured the feeling of the magical run. As usual in the 30 for 30 films, no narrator, just sound bites and archival footage, but it works extremely well in this case.

While the team comes off very well, the star of the documentary is Gannon who is very funny and weaves some great tales. His best story was his telling of taking a charge from Houston’s Clyde Drexler in the National Championship Game.

The 30 for 30′s have been very good, but “Survive and Advance” is truly the best of the series to date. It’s not just a very good sports documentary, but one of the best documentaries I’ve seen in any category. There are a lot of things where ESPN has fallen short, but 30 for 30 is the network’s star. It’s quality television and if you have an opportunity to watch the re-airs later this week, by all means do so. You won’t be sorry.
College basketball’s Championship Week gave us the opportunity to see some great basketball in the conference tournaments. It also allowed us to hear Bill Walton throughout the Pac-12 Tournament. Now, I don’t have the Pac-12 Network as DirecTV continues to keep it off its lineup, but thanks to the ESPN Family of Networks, viewers were able to hear some gems from the Big Red. Yes, Walton can go off on tangents, but they are so entertaining that I watched all three games that I normally may not have viewed. It’s hard to imagine that Walton had retired a few years ago due to chronic back pain and even considered suicide. Thankfully, Walton reconsidered and underwent a procedure to correct the pain. His return to the airwaves is the viewer’s gain.
Kudos go to Dave Pasch for being a very good straight man and for also being patient when Walton went on his rants.

I gathered quotage from Thursday’s quarterfinals, Friday’s semifinals and Saturday’s final. It’s good reading. You’ll definitely get a laugh.
CBS’ NCAA Tournament Selection Show returned for the 32nd consecutive year on Sunday. The network has the selections down to a science, first the number one overall seed, the picks for each region, reaction shots from selected schools, an interview with the Selection Committee Chairman and analysis. One addition this year was the Perpetually Angry Doug Gottlieb.
Already in a crowded studio with Greg Gumbel, Greg Anthony and Seth Davis, Gottlieb shoehorned his opinions and overpowered Anthony and Davis to the point where they had to interrupt the ESPN retread. I understand Gottlieb is fulfilling a dream by calling NCAA Tournament games, but the studio is not his strength. Gottlieb’s performance on Sunday is on par with Joe Montana’s horrendous performance in the NFL on NBC studio back in 1995. While Gottlieb did not look like a deer caught in the headlights like Montana did, he did not come off well. He looked angry. He pointed at the American people and he tried to cram too many opinions while trying to stir things up with Davis. It was not good television. I am afraid of what will happen when Gottlieb joins the CBS/Turner studio for the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight with Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.
Lastly, we expect an announcement on the SEC TV network next month. Conference commissioner Mike Slive told Yahoo’s Pat Forde that the league will make an official unveiling of the network sometime next month. The SEC already makes megabucks from CBS and ESPN in contracts that led other conferences to follow and lead to massive upheaval ending long standing rivalries. It’s expected that ESPN will partner in an SEC cable network similar to how Fox Sports partners with the Big Ten for its network.
When the infrastructure is in place, the SEC will make a boatload of money and follow in the footsteps of the Big Ten Network in becoming a cash cow. And viewers who were getting used to watching the over the air SEC Network which replaced Raycom in syndicating third tier games, now will have to transition to seeing those events on cable.

More upheaval is exactly what sports fan want.

We’re done. Enjoy your Monday.

Bill Walton Quotage from the Pac-12 Tournament Semifinals

by Ken, under Bill Walton, College Basketball, Pac 12, Pac 12 Network

Bill Walton is the gift that keeps on giving. Despite making Ray Lewis and Bill Simmons suspension references during ESPNU’s Pac-12 telecast on Thursday, Walton was back for the Pac-12 semifinals both on Pac-12 Network and ESPN on Friday. We provide the quotage from both the UCLA-Arizona and Utah-Oregon games. Some have wondered if the quotes I put up on Twitter last night were real. They indeed were real.

I first provide the quotage from Pac-12 Network as Walton worked with Ted Robinson for UCLA-Arizona.

Walton-isms from Pac-12 Networks Telecast of Arizona vs. UCLA

Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament
March 15, 2013

Pac-12 Networks’ final men’s basketball telecast of the season featured not only a thrilling 66-64 UCLA win over Arizona, but also produced another batch of “Walton-isms” from the Hall of Famer.

Below are selected quotes from the telecast. For more, plus accompanying video, please visit: http://championships.pac-12.com/mens-basketball/more-waltonisms-from-arizona-vs-ucla-on-pac-12-networks/

“There’s nothing wrong with being selfish in the team concept.” – on Shabazz Muhammad

“When I’m playing basketball, I want as little on me as possible. I want a tank top. I want a pair of shorts. I want two pairs of socks and a pair of shoes.” – Walton on UCLA’s alternative uniforms from Thursday

“Stars shining brightly on the strip in Las Vegas.” – Walton on UCLA F Shabazz Muhammad

“One man gathers what another man spills.” – Walton on UCLA Kyle Anderson, who finished the game with five steals

“What is a traveling violation? (Arizona) Brandon Ashley in the corner, pick a pivot foot please. The refs, I don’t care if they call a foul, but every single traveling violation should be called. That will immediately clean up the quality of play and eliminate all the pushing and shoving going on.” – Walton on a missed traveling call

“I’ve done a lot of cool things in my life, but this is right at the top. Oh my gosh.” – Walton on the Pac-12 Tournament experience in Las Vegas

“Throw it down big man! One time, throw it down!” – Walton on Arizona F Solomon Hill’s dunk

“Up and down action, finally. Solomon Hill says, ‘there is nothing you can do about this. In your face!’” – Walton on dunk by Arizona F Solomon Hill

“Jordan Adams. Doesn’t look like much. Doesn’t have those bulging veins we’ve become so accustomed to. Doesn’t have those muscles where the neck disappears, but what a game, what a touch, what a heart.” – Walton on UCLA G Jordan Adams

“Jordan Adams has been the best individual player in this game today. His ability to hit the pull-up jumpers, not be out of control, stroke three pointers when they back off; Seemingly like Dr. Julius Erving from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst would be able to throw it up without even a prayer and it still goes gracefully through the twine. Only in Las Vegas at the MGM.” – Walton on UCLA G Jordan Adams

“And the UCLA faithful explodes in exultation and celebration.” – Walton on the UCLA win

“Thank you Brock. And thank you Australia.” – Walton on Washington State F Brock Motum

“This whole week has been better than perfect. Thank you Las Vegas, thank you MGM, thank you Pac-12.” – Walton on the Pac-12 Tournament experience

And from the nightcap, Utah-Oregon on ESPNU in which Walton worked with Dave Pasch.

Courtesy Cork Gaines, Business Insider Sports Page

(On UCLA-Arizona)
“Truly a game of the millennium tonight.”

(On Utah’s guard Brandon Taylor, all 5’10″ of him)
“If you ever think you’re too small to make a difference, you’ve never spent a night in bed with a mosquito or you’ve never played basketball against Taylor from Utah, number 11 in your program, number one in your heart.”

(Hyping the Pac-12 Conference)
“This is the greatest conference in the history of college basketball.”

(While promoting ESPN’s Saturday programming)
Walton: “Can we do this again next week?”
Pasch: “We can do it again tomorrow, I can guarantee you that.”

(Talking about no free throws attempted in the first half)
Walton: “Anomaly alert number 2. No free throw attempts in the entire game tonight. I love that.”
Pasch: “What was number one? I forgot. Of critical import.”
Walton: “I should have paid attention ,,,.. lack of offensive rebounds.”

(After an Oregon dunk)
“Waverly Austin just having the game of his life. Set up magnificently by Jonathon Lloyd. Pretty boys. Preening out there.”

(On Utah’s second attempt at free throws)
Walton: “For Utah, the first free throw of the game.”
Pasch: “That was actually the last time they shot free throws.”
Walton: “Was that in this game? …. Thank you for keeping it all straight here.”

(On calling nine games in the Pac-12 Tournament)
“I’m having the time of my life here. I have nine games in six days. What more can you ask for?”

(As ESPN was going to break)
“Goodness gracious! All Oregon right now! Extending their insurmountable halftime lead. MGM Grand, Las Vegas!”

(Coming back from break, ESPN shows some Pac-12 mascots)
Pasch: “A shot of Bill’s after party from last night and the mascots…”
Walton: “And what a show it was! Goodness gracious! You talk about … I’ve never had such a good time.”
Pasch: “And the guys in the truck cutting you off with the Super Saturday promo, it’s a good thing they did.”

(Coming out from the Super Saturday promo)
Walton: “Anomaly number 5 for this game. Why is the Big 12 the only one that gets a sponsor?”
Pasch: “The Big East is sponsored, I think you skipped over anomaly number 4, but that’s another matter.”
Walton: “I need you to keep track of these things please. I missed the free throws, I missed it all! But the dunks”
Pasch: “Working hard enough over here.”
Walton: “You can tell! You’ve got a heavy burden!”

(About winning championships)
Pasch: You won your share of championships.”
Walton: “Never enough. Never enough.”

(About being famous)
“I’m Luke’s dad. What could be better than that?”

(About Las Vegas)
“This property. This arena. This venue. This city. The best thing ever.”

(On Oregon’s offensive prowess)
“All about the big picture here. The Oregon spirit on the Oregon Trail here to the Promised Land. Beautiful. Oh my gosh.”

(On a delay in the game)
“The guy who’s behind me just keeps yelling at the refs all night long says, ‘Come on! Make a call! Go back to Foot Locker where you belong! Let’s get this thing going!!’”

(Talking about Maryland’s upset of Duke in the ACC Tournament)
Pasch: “You forget that Maryland beat Duke 12 hours ago?”
Walton: “Was that today or yesterday?”"

(Pasch realizing the game is getting silly)
“It’s getting away from us here.”

(Walton on becoming a First Take fan)
“I used to be a SportsCenter guy, until I found First Take.”

(On going outside briefly)
“I did get my 15 seconds of sunshine today. And oh what a day it was in those 15 seconds.”

(After Pasch read a SportsCenter promo regarding bracketologist Joe Lunardi)
“I want to see Lunardi on that show with Skip and Stephen A. That’s what I want to see. They won’t let him off the hook.”

(Finally)
“When is Saturday?”

Classic stuff. And we’ll have more quotage after the Pac-12 Championship.

Bill Walton Quotage from the Pac-12 Tournament

by Ken, under Bill Walton, College Basketball, Pac 12, Pac 12 Network

Having Bill Walton back on a national stage this season has been a huge plus. His quotes during Pac-12 games on the ESPN Family of Networks have been true gems.

Walton has also been working on Pac-12 Network for the tournament. We have some quotage from the Cal-Utah game which ended in an upset.

And during the ESPNU telecast of the Washington-Oregon game, Walton made a Ray Lewis limousine joke and a reference to Bill Simmons’ suspension at the hands of ESPN. Matt Yoder of Awful Announcing has the videos. I’m still laughing over this.

Anyway, here’s the Pac-12 Network Walton quotage.

Walton-isms from Pac-12 Networks Telecast of California vs. Utah

Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament
March 14, 2013

“Fantastic pace to this game. Shot clock not a factor, refs inconsequential; Players soaring like eagles here over the desert sky.” – Walton on early pace of Cal-Utah

“I love guys that shoot without dribbling. When I watch basketball, I say, ‘what has happened to this game?’ All it is these little guys dribbling incessantly, aimlessly, without purpose, only to draw attention to themselves. Please save us.”

“You have to have the attitude that everybody’s watching every play. That’s what your youth coaches teach you, that’s what your college coaches teach you…Every play is critical on every level.” – Walton on players responding when on a national stage

“(Jordan) Loveridge used a stiff-arm, Rick Neuheisel is here; He’ll appreciate that one, but this is basketball.” – Walton on Utah F Jordan Loveridge

“Cal has got to get going again and stop thinking the world is against us. Quit feeling sorry for yourself and start playing ball. You had a chance to win and you couldn’t turn him (Jarred DuBois) back and you didn’t commit a foul. It would have been an easy one to finish off right there, but you let a left-handed guy dribble to his left and hit his own shot. DuBois has been doing that pretty much all night, pretty much on command all season.” – Walton on Cal’s response to Utah forcing overtime

Walton resumes his broadcast duties with Pac-12 Networks from the 2013 Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament tomorrow at 6:00 PM PT for UCLA vs. Arizona alongside play-by-play voice Ted Robinson.

That is it. We’ll see if Walton is back for ESPN’s portion of the semifinals tomorrow.

Pac-12 Network To Have Extensive Coverage of the Women’s and Men’s Basketball Tournaments

by Ken, under College Basketball, Pac 12, Pac 12 Network

In its first year of existence, Pac-12 Network shows its worth by airing extensive coverage of both the women’s and men’s conference tournaments starting this week.

On Thursday, March 7, coverage of the Pac-12 Women’s Tournament begins and it marks the first time that all of the women’s tournament will be seen live. Pac-12 Network will have coverage concluding with the semifinals on Saturday, March 9. Anne Marie Anderson, Tammy Blackburn and Krista Blunk will make up one announcing team. They’ll call the afternoon sessions on March 7 and 8 plus one semifinal game. The other announcing crew will be Krista Blunk, Mary Murphy and Anne Marie Anderson. They’ll do the night sessions and the other semifinal of the tournament which will be played at the Key Arena in Seattle.

Then the Pac-12 Network will air most of the Pac-12 Men’s Tournament which will be played at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. Overall, 9 games will be aired on the network including three quarterfinal games and one semifinal. ESPN will carry one quarterfinal, one semifinal and the championship game.

The announcing crews for the Pac-12 on the men’s tournament will be as follows:

Kevin Calabro and Don MacLean on the afternoon sessions on Wednesday, March 14 and Thursday, March 15.

Ted Robinson and Bill Walton will call the night session on March 14, one quarterfinal game on Thursday evening and then one semifinal game on Friday, March 16.

The sideline reporters will be Ashley Adamson and Yogi Roth.

Here’s what Pac-12 Network is saying about the postseason basketball action over the next two weeks.

MARCH MADNESS TAKES OVER PAC-12 NETWORKS

Pac-12 Networks to Televise Eight Men’s & 10 Women’s Tournament Contests Live
Men’s Basketball Selection Show Special Airs Sunday, March 17 at 7:00 pm PT, while
Women’s Basketball Selection Show Debuts Monday, March 18 at 7:00 pm PT

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., February 28, 2013 – March Madness is almost here and Pac-12 Networks is on tap to provide comprehensive coverage of both men’s and women’s conference tournaments, as well as additional programming to set the stage for Pac-12 teams advancing to the big dance.

With the launch of Pac-12 Networks, this season marks the first time that every men’s and women’s tournament matchup will be televised live to a national audience. Postseason action begins Thursday, March 7 in Seattle with the Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament, featuring 10 live game telecasts in over three days from Key Arena.

Some Quick Wednesday Sports Media Thoughts

by Ken, under BCS, CBS Sports Radio, College Football, Comcast SportsNet, Dana Jacobson, DirecTV, Fox Sports, Keith Olbermann, MLB Network, Pac 12 Network, STO

Tuesday was an early Christmas for your humble blogger. Thanks to some Black Friday sales, I’ve been setting up a new iPad and a new laptop computer, so the posts were rather slim on Tuesday. To make up for that minimal posting, I’ll write some sports media thoughts and unlike the last sports media thoughts post where I expanded on things, I’ll do some quick hits. As usual, they come to you in bullet form.

CBS Sports Radio appears to be on its way to providing a full 24 hour weekday schedule when it launches on January 2. I’m happy to see that former ESPN’er Dana Jacobsen will be part of the morning drive show along with Brandon Tierney and Tiki Barber. I’m not sure if Tiki will be able to provide much based on his past performance on NBC, but with Tierney and Jacobsen doing most of the heavy lifting, the show could be successful. I’m looking forward to hearing the first few weeks.
On Tuesday, the rumors of Fox Sports potentially purchasing regional sports network Sports Time Ohio surfaced once again. Since last year, there have been rumblings that STO would be bought out by Fox. STO currently owns the TV rights to the Cleveland MLB team, but hasn’t been able to expand upon that portfolio. Ohio Media Watch’s Twitter account was burning up with speculation on STO. Should this come to fruition, this could be the third MLB team that Fox Sports could secure after the New York Yankees last week and reportedly the Los Angeles Dodgers which could close this week. We’ll keep you posted on this story.
Still wondering when DirecTV will begin carrying Pac-12 Network and Comcast SportsNet Houston. Thus far, the satellite provider has remained stubborn in its refusal to pick up either channel. While DirecTV felt the pressure to pick up Time Warner Cable SportsNet for Los Angeles Lakers games, it appears to be in no hurry to carry Pac-12 Network or CSN Houston despite fan complaints. In these disputes, the fans are always caught in the middle.
MLB Network’s Hot Stove new morning show format is a welcome addition to sports television. Matt Vasgersian and Harold Reynolds are good as co-hosts. Neither have worn suits and ties as MLB Network tries to be less formal with the show. Alana Rizzo has been good as the update anchor. Having insider Ken Rosenthal on the show is a nice touch. And during Thanksgiving Week, it was good to see Keith Olbermann co-hosting the show with fellow former ESPN’er Brian Kenny. Here’s hoping that MLB Network could make this a permanent addition during the MLB season, perhaps under a different name.
After ESPN saw the ratings for Notre Dame-USC on Saturday, you knew network executives were chomping at the bit thinking about the potential ratings for the BCS Championship Game. As Notre Dame will face the winner of the SEC, the numbers for the college football championship come January will be huge. Then again, I’m probably telling you something you already know.

Ok, I’ll end it there. Time to finish things for the night.

Some Monday Sports Media Thoughts

by Ken, under Cox, DirecTV, Erin Andrews, Fox Sports, Jen Royle, NFL Films, NFL Network, Pac 12 Network, Sports Media Thoughts, Time Warner Cable, Time Warner Cable SportsNet, WEEI

Time to provide some sports media thoughts as we begin another workweek. Of course, they will be in bullet form.

What was once the place for sports networks to convene to put pressure on cable has suddenly become the place to hold out. DirecTV was once the provider to pick up sports networks before anyone else. It was one of the first providers in the country to pick up NFL Network, the Big Ten Network, the mtn., CBS Sports Network (when it was known as CSTV then CBS College Sports), Outdoor Life Network and others. Now, it has become a holdout like Time Warner Cable which was the last major cable provider to pick up NFL Network and still refuses to carry MASN in North Carolina.
Now, DirecTV has refused to pick up the Pac-12 Networks and Time Warner SportsNet citing fiscal responsibility. It has not talked with the Pac-12 lately and has no new talks scheduled for Time Warner, thus preventing West Coast fans from seeing college sports and the Los Angeles Lakers. DirecTV says it does not want to pick up all of the Pac-12 Networks (it has seven overall) and wants to charge an extra fee for anyone who wants to watch it. And the satellite provider is balking at Time Warner’s price per subscriber ($3.95) for the Lakers channel.

DirecTV appears to have drawn its line in the sand. The Athletic Director at Cal-Berkeley changed her TV subscription from DirecTV to Comcast so she can watch Pac-12 Network and the Lakers training facility changed its subscription from DirecTV to Time Warner Cable as ESPN LA’s Arash Markazi tweeted on Sunday.

Not a great sign that the Lakers’ practice facility switched to TWC from DirecTV this week. They probably wouldn’t if a deal was imminent.

— Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) November 4, 2012

So whenever DirecTV decides to pick either or both of the channels, it could very well be at its own terms.

Joe Flint of the Los Angeles Times reports that Cox Cable is the latest to agree to carry Time Warner SportsNet’s English and Spanish channels. It leaves DirecTV and Dish as the last remaining holdouts and of those two, only DirecTV would probably pick up TWSN as Dish has not been willing to carry sports networks as freely as DirecTV.
NFL Network’s A Football Life has scored touchdowns in each and all of its episodes this season. From the season premiere on Ray Lewis to the look at the final year of the Cleveland Browns 1.0 to the Los Angeles Rams Fearsome Foursome to the latest edition on Chris Spielman, the documentaries from NFL Films have been of high quality. This all began last year when it spent one season with Patriots coach Bill Belichick and showed viewers some humanity behind the man inside the hoodie.
The access NFL Films has received with each of its subjects, plus the archival footage it has culled through its own library or through news footage or personal home movies, A Football Life has become appointment viewing. The next one on coach Jimmy Johnson during his Dallas years should prove to be quite compelling television.
There’s been 10 weeks of the college football season and I can now provide a review of the Fox College Saturday pregame show. I’ve been waiting for improvement since Week 2 (Week 1 was pre-empted in most of the country by a Fox Saturday Baseball overrun), but it hasn’t been there. Erin Andrews is not suited to be a studio host. She’s been better on the sidelines, although the MLB Postseason in October wasn’t her best work.
There is no chemistry between Erin and analysts Eddie George and Joey Harrington. They struggle to get through highlights and there’s doesn’t appear to be any real energy. Oddly, when Patrick O’Neal is teamed with George and Harrington on FX, they have much better chemistry and energy.

I have a feeling Fox will try this studio team for one more season before making any changes. Fox has too much money invested in Andrews to take her off the show after one season, however, the show remains a train wreck.
Heard Friend of Fang’s Bites, Jen Royle on WEEI in Boston auditioning last week to become the update anchor for the station’s morning show, Dennis & Callahan. I felt she had the best chemistry among all those trying out. Here’s hoping she gets a gig out of it.
I wish there was a way to get KT Tunstall’s “Suddenly I See” off ads and TV shows. This song is the bane of my existence. And as it was pointed out on the old “Best Week Ever” on VH1 that it was overused on a slew of ABC’s shows as a female empowerment song in 2006. And don’t ask me why I can remember these references off the top of my head.
As I digress, if the song can be removed from commercials and movies, it would make me very happy.

Ok, I’m done.

The unprecedented amount of exposure means that each school will be featured at least 11 times during the season and guarantees that every Pac-12 home game will be televised for the first time in Conference history. The schedule boasts 92 nonconference battles, including 11 contests featuring 2012 NCAA tournament-qualifying opponents. The conference season opens the first week in January with Utah at Arizona State, Stanford at UCLA, Utah at Arizona and Colorado at Arizona State.

With UCLA and Arizona bringing in top rated recruiting classes and several prominent starters returning from all 12 schools, including Allen Crabbe (California), Solomon Hill (Arizona), Brock Motum (Washington State) and Andre Roberson (Colorado), the race for the Pac-12 title figures to come down to the wire, as it did a year ago. The Pac-12 featured seven teams with 20-or-more wins and seven others with 10-or-more conference wins. Washington edged Cal for the regular season title before Colorado claimed the Pac-12 Tournament title in dramatic fashion.

Men’s hoops joins Pac-12 women’s basketball as the first programs to have postseason games televised live on Pac-12 Networks with the first eight games of the 2013 Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament from its new home in Las Vegas, NV March 13-15.

I have some time on this NFL Sunday to provide some rare weekend linkage. Let’s get to it.

Chris Chase at USA Today’s Game On blog notes that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder has confirmed that he’s dating ESPN College GameDay’s Samantha Steele.

Mike Reynolds of Multichannel News talks about the Pac-12 Networks being made available to Apple mobile devices as long as they’re subscribers of participating cable and satellite providers.

Ed Sherman of The Sherman Report reviews this week’s 30 for 30 documentary which has a Chicago slant.

Sports Media Watch says expect Fox to be a player for the rights to the second half of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season if ESPN and Turner falter in their negotiations next year.

SportsRantz says Jen Royle is owed an apology by Toronto Blue Jays fans after she correctly reported that John Farrell was a target of the Red Sox for its managerial opening.

Brandon Costa of Sports Video Group says Fox Sports is ready to launch its New Orleans channel with the rights to the Hornets in hand.

Ty Duffy at The Big Lead notes that actress Natalie Portman turned heads at the Baylor-Texas game last night.

Stephen Douglas of The Big Lead has video evidence of Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer Ryan Lochte being dumber than you and me.

Tom Ley at Deadspin notes that ESPN’s Rick Reilly got fooled by web satire once again.

Once again, Phil Mushnick at the New York Post finds something to hate.

Dan Steinberg at the Washington Post’s DC Sports Bog recaps President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney’s comments on DC NFL team QB Robert Griffin III on Fox NFL Sunday.

Jim Williams from the Washington Examiner talks with Doug Gottlieb about his new CBS Sports Network late night show.

Tom Jones of the Tampa Bay Times rates the commissioners‘ of MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL.

Nice to have Barry Horn of the Dallas Morning News back in Fang’s Bites. He wonders where are the Cowboys fans as the team’s TV ratings have fallen like a rock this season.

David Barron of the Houston Chronicle bids farewell to Big Tex, the huge statue that adorned the Texas State Fair outside Dallas that burned down on Friday and the voice of Big Tex.

Mel Bracht of The Oklahoman reviews Fox Sports Net’s production of last night’s Oklahoma blowout of Kansas.

The Oklahoman notes that ESPN’s College GameDay will be at the Notre Dame-Oklahoma game in Norman next Saturday.

The Cincinnati Enquirier’s John Kiesewetter talks with NBC’s Al Michaels who got his big break in the Queen City.

John has some outtakes with Al that didn’t make the newspaper story.

Joe Reedy of the Enquirer talks with Cris Collinsworth who will have a heavy heart working with Al Michaels tonight.

Bob Wolfley at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco has his work cut out for him in negotiating a new TV contract for the conference.

At TimeOut Chicago, Robert Feder discusses Jenny McCarthy joining the Sun-Times as a columnist, the Tribune going behind the dreaded paywall, and Bob Brenly’s replacement as Cubs analyst.

At the Los Angeles Daily News, Tom Hoffarth recalls the 31st Anniversary of “Blue Monday” for the Dodgers with Vin Scully.

The Canadian Sports Media Blog enjoys the MLB International productions over TBS and Fox in the postseason.

And that will do it.
