Please, no. Please, don’t wreck my NFLN with this man. NFLTA without Rich Eisen? Too horrible to even contemplate. Even worse, the thought of Boomer polluting my beloved NFL RZ. Scott Hansen has the most awesome, and most difficult, job I can think of in sports broadcasting and he does it skillfully, with humor and [...]

Is Complaining an Olympic Sport?
Posted in Posts, tagged olympics, television on February 23, 2010 | Comments Off
Some folks have been complaining, as happens every time, about how the network arranges its Olympic coverage. It’s too easy to have results before the event, so watching it in prime time is boring; it’s annoying to only see a few athletes instead of whole competitions all the way through; those feature pieces are annoying; [...]

Last night was the Olympic men’s free skate. Of course, I watched. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but just can’t seem to make heads or tails of Scott Hamilton’s noises. Is he praising the skater for hanging on, or criticizing for not being perfect? Is he happy or sad? It’s confusing. However, he’s obviously very enthusiastic [...]
I Can’t Top That Headline

Oh, DC Examiner. What will happen to you when your parent paper finally loses the Reverend‘s interest and folds completely? And how will we get through our commute without seeing headlines like this: on our way out of the train station? Where would the excitement be, in a world without you? I despair. Help us, [...]

The world will stop turning in September, 2010. After Guiding Light was canceled this year, I sort of knew this was coming, since ATWT was also a Procter & Gamble production. Sigh. I record the show every day, and generally have a few hours of catch-up on a weekend every couple of months, to clear [...]

I woke this morning to learn that Bruce is 60 today; I’m sure my mom baked a cake (at least metaphorically). I was all set for a celebratory set on the iPod but I got to work and was busy, so I forgot. But! The adorable Chris Hayes tweeted his Bruce love earlier this afternoon, [...]
You know what’s amazing?

European MPG, that’s what. Take, for example, last week’s Top Gear “race”, wherein the three hosts started in Basel, Switzerland, and ended up in Blackpool, England (well, two of the three; one of them was too slow). They were challenged to make the 750-mile journey, in a car, on one tank of fuel. A single [...]

Am I the only person in America who watches NOW on PBS? Apparently, I am. Because I had actually heard of Sarah Palin, and seen the footage of her with her cute little (who-cares-if-they-go-extinct-i-already-have-the-accessory) polar bear pin, high-wattage smile and adorable maternity clothes. It was only a couple months ago, I think. There she is, [...]

He really said that? Out loud? On television? Good God. I can’t think of anything to say about this. I’m speechless. *looks at KO* Worst Person in the World material, at the VERY LEAST. First the New Yorker cover and now this. Oh, and about that cover: It may or may not have failed as [...]
