For Your Saturday Afternoon Viewing Pleasure...
The Hugh Johnson Project will be in full effect again today. If you're watching college football, and you've got some observations that might interest the rest of the Deadspin population, send them via AOL Instant Messenger to "Deadspin Football."
And I underestimated the number of IMs I'd get last Saturday, so... chances are, I'm not going to get to respond to everyone. Please don't think me rude. In fact, I may have an Away Message up most of the time. Oh, and this is important, too: don't forget to tell me how you'd like to be credited, and if you'd like a link up there with your name. Enjoy the football...

Noon, CBS. Tennis. Men's Semifinals. Roger Federer vs. Nikolay Davydenko, and Andy Roddick vs. Mikhail Youzhny. Hey, I wonder who the CBS people are rooting for. Noon, Fox Soccer. EPL. Manchester United vs. Tottenham Hotspur. Fortunately, Bill Simmons doesn't watch college football, so he can check in with his beloved Spurs. 2:00, NBC. Action Sports. Dew Action Sports Tour, Toyota Challenge, Day 1. I would rather watch a 90-minute Jimmy Roberts feature on Joe Paterno's prostate. 2:15, Fox Soccer: EPL. Blackburn Rovers vs. Sheffield United. Is it too early to start worrying about relegation? 4:00, ESPN. PGA Golf. Canadian Open, Third Round.

It's one game, for the championship. I'd like to pretend that I was even mildly interested, but... I'm sorry, I don't have it in me.
