This was from Tuesday night, and I'm sorry for not posting on it yesterday, but it's worth a look see. During the sixth inning of the Mets-Phils game a cat decided to run onto the field. Listen as Keith Hernandez goes nuts over the pretty kitty. From TSB via The Fightins....



"OMG!!!!1! Did YOU SEE those white pawz?!!1? Sooooooo cute!" White Mittens Keith? Seriously??? more...

I know some people think of NFL Live as overkill, but during the offseason (and this Summer which has dragged on forever) it's one of the best shows ESPN has going. Wingo and the gang talk current events (unlike every other ESPN show during the day) and they actually report on things as they happen. Sure a lot of it is Favre and Spygate, but again (see Summer comment above)...what else are they going to talk about? more...

If you have never watched a NESN Red Sox broadcast I will tell you that you are missing out on perhaps one of the most hilarious telecasts you'll ever see. I get people who email me nightly saying things like, "Remy is joking on Kevin Costner," or, "O and Rem are laughing out of control right now." The two really can't be stopped. more...

There's been no word of the College Gameday schedule for this year's College Football season, and I'm sure ESPN is waiting to announce them all at once. Unfortunately for the powers that be, Beano Cook just gave away the first stop on the Gameday tour in a chat on ESPN.com.

So which city is the lucky winner? Drumroll please.... more...

More good news from Beijing today as a gaseous substance flooded the Olympic Broadcasting Center that will house thousands of broadcasters from around the world next month. Via Newsday....
BEIJING (AP) _ Hundreds of people were evacuated Wednesday from the massive building that will house broadcasters from around the world when the Beijing Olympics open, fearing there was a gas leak after people inside smelled a strong chemical odor. But authorities later said it was a false alarm and the smell probably came from building materials or chemicals. more...

I despise search features on websites (yes, even my own) for some reason. They are by far the must frustrating things to try and navigate and you never find what you want. ESPN is trying to redo their total online product, but before they get into all that they're trying to better their own search function. Via more...

(Usually) Everyday I'll throw out a photo from the AP or one of the bigger sites and you provide the caption. Hilarity ensues. I'm also adding a handful of links at the bottom of the page that you should check out each day.

Yesterday's Winners....


"Los Angeles Clippers: bottom of the league in forced turnovers, top of the league in forced smiles."- more...

Sporting News debuted it's first edition of Sporting News Today this morning and so far it's been welcomed with mixed reviews. I've talked to a few folks, and scoured some message boards, and the overwhelming feeling is that it's too difficult to use. The paper itself lays out in a format similar to a PDF file and you use buttons at the top to click from page to page. A handful of pages are advertisements, but for the most part the thing is packed with content. The thing is an amazing 33 pages long and you even got a look at Terry Francona that you, "won't find on Facebook!" They claim it's the first of its kind, and I can't remember seeing anything like it before. more...

I saw the end of this during yesterday's NFL Live and yesterday was apparently the first airing of this Reebok commercial. The theme is that NFL Players are obviously migrating to training camp, and in the V-formation no less.



I think they're selling something too, but I couldn't figure out what. The music weirds me out, and I have no idea why Laurence Maroney is on a beach, but I'm officially ready for the start of the season. I don't care what you think about Eli, seeing him standing on the BK Bridge is pretty badass. more...

Man, there are fights and then there are fiiiiights. This one is pure gold on so many levels that I can't even explain what's going on. I know what we can do! Let's have a scavenger hunt!!! Please look for the following items and check them off your list as we go along....

1. Everybody's All-American, Candace Parker getting tangled up with a Detroit Shock player Plenette Pierson. more...

Everyone knows that Skip Bayless is a sensationalist and goes way over-the-top to portray his hatred of all things Terrell Owens, but this display just made me laugh. At the end of First Take, Dana Jacobson passed along the T.O.-Sam Alipour story and gave Skipper the chance to admit that Owens actually did something good. Bayless instead tried to take the angle that anyone would have helped a man hit by a car and even suggested that T.O. knew that it was a reporter that was hurt and in turned helped him because of it.... more...

A couple of other sites have highlighted LPGA golfer Anna Rawson's singledome and her hatred of Ohio State, but I'd like to look at another aspect of her interview with Oobgolf.

Not only does she meet the first two requirements mentioned above (three if you count breathing...hey yo!), but she also enjoys watching games at home for the commentary! more...

It's amazing how much of a spin networks can put on a simple press release. NBC had been receiving some bad press as of late for not coming close to selling out their advertising spots for the Olympics, but they want you to know they're okay. They're 90% sold! With all the time in the world to finish before the Games start! more...

I honestly thought that ESPN was out of the blogging business, but apparently they were just getting started. ESPN.com has finished its roster of ex-newspaper reporters and has officially what it's calling the "ESPN Football Blog Network". There are eight NFL bloggers, one for each conference, and seven (soon to be eight) College writers for specific conferences. Here are the details.... more...

I know this post might be over the heads of some, but former Sonics Announcer Kevin Calabro is one of the (few) people who has received a good bit of praise on this site. Kevin apparently had a deal to move with the Sonics to OKC and become the Thunder's (no Cats) play-by-play man. Well he decided to stay in Seattle and for the MLS no less.... more...
