The Sky Sports News Top Story Is That Goat (Or Horse) Dwight Howard Made His Lakers Debut Last Night
American viewers looking for a taste of Limeyland can tune in on occasion to Fox Soccer, when the network simulcasts its UK Sky Sports News channel for a few hours every day. It's great if you need a break from the screaming heads on ESPN, though occasionally a few odd things crop up—as happened to...
Which TV Market Is Getting Screwed This Sunday? An Analysis Of NFL Viewing Maps
The NFL's regional programming rules are famously byzantine, which is why the Wikipedia article trying to explain them all is an insane 18,971 words long. (That's enough words to get you two-thirds of the way through Of Mice and Men, for chrissake.)...
Fox Needs To Update Their St. Louis Stock Footage, As Last Night's NLCS Closing Shot Featured A "Go Pujols" Sign
As Fox ended its broadcast of a much-delayed ending to last night's NLCS Game 3, a curious thing seemed to scroll across the gaudy videoboard atop the Lumière Place casino: "GO PUJOLS." While it's possible the person in charge of such messages never learned of the slugger's exit from the Cardinals ...

Pathetic MLB Playoffs Coverage On TBS Continues As They Misspell The Name Of Willie Mays
First there was this. TBS followed it up with this. That's not to mention the rotten and biased coverage from the Turner network's announcers. As a whole, TBS has shit the bed with their postseason baseball broadcasts, but tonight's blunder really takes things to a new level. Good job, good effort,...
TBS's Slogan Is "Very Funny," Which Is Fitting Because Its Baseball Analysis Is A Joke
The MLB playoff coverage on TBS has suffered the arrows of critics for years, and it hasn't really shown any signs of improvement. How the same company that can produce the brilliant Inside the NBA drops the ball so terribly with MLB coverage is a mystery, but there's no questioning the wide range ...
TBS Would Like To Introduce You To "Carl" Ripken, Jr.
Tonight's MLB wild card coverage on TBS has trumpeted Turner's new acquisition Bleacher Report, and the influence is already showing. First, they didn't know what the AL playoff structure looked like, and now we get to meet "Carl" Ripken, Jr. We get TBS all the way through the ALCS, so here's looki...
We're Not Sure Where "Milwaulke" Is, But Perhaps North Of "Chaigoh"
This is actually from last week, though provided the opportunity (and being out of town) we're running it today. This is one of the more curious spelling errors, as it's not a simple transposition of letters but the introduction of ones that don't belong there in the first place....

This Is Not Golden Tate, ESPN
We get that things were a bit hectic after the final decision in last night's joke of a professional sports contest. But really, ESPN? Identifying Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson as receiver Golden Tate? That's almost as bad as misidentifying an interception for a touchdown catch....
New York Red Bulls Fans Struggle With Spelling
New York Red Bulls suffered a painful 2-0 loss at home to Sporting KC last night in a match played with little fire in front of few fans. A few supporters showed up, however, and they brought a massive banner using the most tired expression about Kansas since "Bleeding." (Yes, Sporting KC plays in ...

Apparently Derrick Rose Is An NHL Owner Now, And You Can Blame Him For The Lockout [UPDATE: He Plays For The Bears, Too]
Tonight on SportsCenter ESPN reluctantly reported on the NHL, keeping viewers up to date on the latest lockout news (which isn't good)....
Georgia The Country Is Not Georgia The State
This error was up on the screen during halftime of last night's U.S. national team 1-0 World Cup qualifier win over Jamaica for all of three seconds, yet nearly a dozen of you sent in emails about it. Say whatever you want to about soccer fans, they're attentive. Though, really, I'd have been more ...
The Five Most Racist Cities In America!
Last night I had an intense dream that was broken up when I had to get up and take a leak at 6 a.m. But the dream was so fascinating that when I got back into bed, I tried desperately to pick up where I left off, as if I were unpausing a movie. I was walking down the road and carrying two suitcases....
