Fox is understandably proud of their experiment this morning to show English Premier League soccer live on U.S. broadcast TV for the first time. Yet it seems Fox affiliates aren't so excited, as 23 of Fox's 185 stations decided to air something else. Here's the list of cities where you can't see Arsenal take on Manchester United, and what they're showing instead. More »

Last year, we presented a compilation of all the inane laughing NFL pre-game shows had to offer. Since the laughing hasn't stopped, here's another compilation of Howie, Terry, Shannon, Curt Menefee, and all the rest yukking it up. More »

We generally appreciate Rosenthal, even if he does on occasion throw some shit at the wall. We're therefore delighted to see he'll be making the bow tie a permanent addition to the wardrobe, at least for this season. And it's for a good cause. More »

Fox is charging up to $3 million for 30-second ads during Sunday's Super Bowl and between $100,000 and $2 million for spots before or after the game. Thus, CNBC's estimating the network should bring in more than $300 million. More »

Since 2007 Fox has broadcast the BCS Games. Sure, this was a little awkward because Fox didn't carry college football on the network during the regular season, but it worked. Kind of. Now, ESPN has done what ESPN usually does — gone and outbid the competition for the rights. (Doesn't it kind of make you wonder why ESPN didn't buy them initially?) Fox paid $320 million to broadcast the games from 2007-2010. ESPN is prepared to pay more. And now, like all bidding wars, the two parties are sniping back and forth at one another. More »

We have reason to believe that this (or something similar) will be the opening teaser that will greet baseball fans as they tune into the Fox broadcast tonight.

True story: Way back in 1998, when we were a wee lad logging agate text at The Sporting News, one of the magazine staffers sent a company-wide email after Jim Gray's famous Pete Rose interview demanding that all writers sign a petition saying that Gray should be fired. We found this a bit extreme, and said so, in a "reply all" message that went to the whole company. We were 22 years old. We didn't understand office politics too well. We still don't. More »

One of our favorite features ESPN.com has run is the NFL Coach Approval Ratings. We liked watching the fluctuation, seeing a coach go from 81 percent to 20 percent with one loss. But mostly, we liked the collective wisdom of Crowd. We trust Crowd's judgment. Therefore, we've decided to start a new feature inspired by the Coach Approval Ratings: We're asking for a referendum on various members of the sports media. More »

So you want to join in the discussion on the Fox message boards, but you're not sure if you'll be able to call someone a "dipshit" if it's warranted? Sure, it's a dilemma we all face.

Lost in all the hullabaloo yesterday about Joe Buck taking over as studio host for Fox NFL Sunday was this little nugget of info: "Wacky" female presence Jillian Barberie is leaving the show with little fanfare.

Every ten seconds or so in the Patriots/Bucs game, someone at Fox is hitting the button to play some goddamn sleigh bell noise.

From Fox News' homepage this morning. When we first saw it, it had us running for the phones. First off, what about all the people inside? Secondly, uh, it's not retractable is it? Third ... who gives Bud Selig the authority? Where does he get off? Can he just roam the countryside, ripping off people's roofs? Is that like his thing? When he orders a roof ripped off, does he make the "raise the roof" motion with his hands? Because we'd like to see that. More »
