Thanks to the wonderful 21st century invention known as pausing and fast-forwarding through live TV, the Super Bowl blackout became a moot point. Instead, Chez Porvaznik wrapped up watching the recently purchased Led Zeppelin Celebration Day blu-ray which had been part of the pre-game festivities. As if we didn’t know we weren’t missing a [...]

Latest from John Ziegler’s blogging at FramingPaterno.com, in which he cites the Manti Te’o, Lance Armstrong, and Steubenville football team stories to yet again filets a media far too in love with spinning its own narratives, facts and logic be damned. Naturally, John also ties it nicely to his continuing examination of how it relates [...] It’s not often I have pleasant things to say about ESPN employees or Pitt grads (Tony Dorsett excepted), but have nothing but the kindest of words re. “Beano” Cook. RIP, encyclopedia and staunch supporter of Northeast college football, even setting aside the typical inter-state rivalry when it came to Penn State. Thanks for the [...] Sometimes, if you wait long enough and continue to pour over a Freeh Report so full of speculation and, amazingly for a 250+ page report, simultaneously devoid of interviews with key figures, you get someone like John Ziegler to come in and say danged near exactly what you’ve been thinking and telling people for [...] From ESPN comes this: You wouldn’t expect to see gun control happening in Texas, but that’s what will be taking place at a few Astros games this year. Here’s the deal: The Astros are marking their 50th anniversary this season, so they’ll be wearing an assortment of throwback uniforms for Friday home games. That [...] Check this article about Tim Tebow out and if you aren’t bawling like a baby at the end of it, you have no heart. Who among us is this selfless? Every week, Tebow picks out someone who is suffering, or who is dying, or who is injured. He flies these people and their families to [...] I know, I know, share something truly revelatory, right? Still, in the wake of recent news ESPN had verifiable information now-ex Syracuse basketball assistant coach Bernie Fine allegedly molested at least one former Orangemen ball boy as far back as 1984 and chose not to share it, say what you did or didn’t and/or [...] It’s time for a reminder… if a white defensive player assumed a Black quarterback would play a certain way the story would be about how racist that is — especially if the QB played the game the way Warren Moon and Donovan McNabb used to. But if Black Cornerbacks assume certain things about a [...] I honestly haven’t watched Monday Night Football on a regular basis in years — don’t even get me started on how God-awful I find the forced (lack-of) chemistry between the current lineup in the booth — so my feelings on Hank Williams Jr.’s MNF theme song getting pulled from tonight’s (and who knows for [...] Share on Facebook QUICK NOTE: While I truly loathe the fact ESPN feels the need to thumb their nose at tradition by not involving the Cincinnati Reds as their opening Opening Day, there’s no amount of griping that will change tonight’s schedule. Besides, in the “small miracles” department, at least the Red Sox vs. Yankees game’s being played [...] DJ Gallo, one of the few good writers left at EPSN.com, had some fun compiling sports nicknames. Throw in your own faves and/or ones from the missing files … James “Bonecrusher” Smith James Smith is a mediocre boxer with a 44-17 career record. James “Bonecrusher” Smith is a mediocre boxer with a 44-17 career [...] For the lefty trolls, a reason to hate Penn State. Fully admitting my blue-and-white bias, for those fans of football who may want to forget about politics for about three hours, tomorrow night’s game between Penn State and Iowa looks like just the stuff for ya. ESPN’s Ivan Maisel provides a great pre-game back-drop. [...] Last minutes of lunch hour dwindling, and I realize I’ve been almost as AWOL as Kriskey in terms of supplying material this week, probably more. Some might say this is a good thing, Porvaznik, keep pondering which 90s album’s gonna ’cause you to get diarrhea of the fingers for the latest installment of Better Late [...] Just something about the way Gene Wojciechowski’s brain ticks that makes me smile, widely, more often than not. Love me that Chicken!!! Share on Facebook Somehow, I highly doubt I’ll get answers to any of the below questions, posed at an ESPN.com chat room. What is with the blatant racism at ESPN? Why are only black athletes/sports personalities asked about President Obama? Wasn’t his election supposed to make our nation post-racial? Don’t journalists like Wilbon want to know what [...] |
