ESPN Continues To Axe Things You Probably Don't Watch
First, Quite Frankly, and now this. ESPN Classic is ceasing to create and air original programming. Norby Williamson, ESPN's executive vice president, let the ESPN Classic people know on Friday that they were being reassigned. ESPN Classic will continue on as a network for the time being, sans origi...

• A whole tub full of love for Peter Gammons. [Scott's Shots] • The graphics on the MLB 2K7 game look pretty tight. Kevin Millwood's lips don't look as chapped as they should, though. [Insomniac's Lounge] • Why Beckham and the MLS have little in common with Pele and the NASL. [Yellow Chair Sports] •...
And Michael Strahan Got... JACKED UP!
The offensive linemen who line up against Michael Strahan on Sundays just got a whole lot of new ammunition for trash tralk. And Strahan can't run from it, either, because he's going to have to play football for a loooong time. He can't afford not to....
Seahawks vs. Bears, 4th Quarter/Overtime
- Chicago looks to take the lead here, with their golden gift from the Seattle field goal block unit. 3rd and goal from the 10. Grossman throws, it's of Muhammad's hands... and it's intercepted by a guy who denied my loan application two weeks ago. Big turn of events there....
Seahawks vs. Bears, 3rd Quarter
- Seattle comes out and gets a field goal to start the second half... credit Chicago's defense there for coming up with a stop when they had to. I like the way this game's shaping up....
Seahawks vs. Bears, 2nd Quarter
- And Nate Burleson's going to stretch the ball into the endzone on the first play on the second quarter, evening things up for the Seahawks. A couple of near-interceptions aside, these two offenses have both looked fairly competent. Hasselbeck looked like the Hasselbeck of last year on that drive. ...
Seahawks vs. Bears, 1st Quarter
- Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will be holding your hand and walking you through this one on FOX... I actually haven't heard a lot of Joe Buck this year, so this is a special treat for me....

About Last Night...
• NBA: Bulls 111, Grizzlies 66. You know what really sucks about this for the Grizzlies? The Bulls did it without two starters. • College Basketball: Pitt 74, Georgetown 69. Both teams shot over 59% from the field. That's gotta be rare. • NFL Playoffs: New Orleans 27, Philadelphia 24. But WHERE was ...
Eagles vs. Saints, 4th Quarter
- Yes, since you asked, that is Brian Westbrook and a horse....
Eagles vs. Saints, 3rd Quarter
- Hey, highlights of the Punt, Pass, and Kick Finals... I think the same damn kids have been winning this thing for like 12 years. Future gym teachers, all of them....
Eagles vs. Saints, 2nd Quarter
- 1st and 2nd and goal fail. One more chance here for a touchdown....
Eagles vs. Saints, 2nd Quarter
- 1st and 2nd and goal fail. One more chance here for a touchdown....
Eagles vs. Saints, 1st Quarter
- Here's the late-breaking news from the FOX pregame show: None of the Saints play trumpet. This will probably have a huge effect on the game....
Colts vs. Ravens, 4th Quarter
- 2nd and 25 now, after a holding penalty on Ogden. A short completion leaves then with 3rd and 18, and at least getting into field goal range would be huge here. Again, it's short to Mike Anderson....
To Watch Tonight...
• NFL Playoffs. Philadelphia Eagles @ New Orleans Saints. Ah, what the hell, I'll stick around. 8:00, FOX. • College Hockey. Bowling Green @ Nebraska-Omaha. Quick vote. Should we liveblog this, or the football game? 8:00, CSTV. • College Basketball. Georgetown @ Pittsburgh. At least the city of Pitt...
Colts vs. Ravens, 3rd Quarter
- We are back underway... the statistics by these two teams in the first half are remarkably similar. The different is six Colt points off two turnovers. I hope the second features one or more of those "touchdown" things....
Colts vs. Ravens, 2nd Quarter
- Stover from 41, to cut the lead in half... and he just squeezes it inside the upright. And Gumbel's right, ever since Tony Romo did what he did, I do always pay more attention to the snap and hold. And here's another commercial, which is fine, because at this rate, I'm assuming that they're not go...
Colts vs. Ravens, 1st Quarter
- I think I'm going to call CBS and just ask them to not show the game and give me 4 hours of Dan Marino and James Brown laughing about something Shannon Sharpe said. I can't get enough of that. We're still probably 15 minutes from kickoff. Get yourselves strapped in....
