Where To Watch The British Open Golf Tournament

The British Open is my favorite of golf’s four majors. There’s just something awesome about the game being played on the isle of its birth, on those old majestic Royal & Ancient courses.

This is the fourth time Turnberry has hosted the Open (previously held there in 1977, 1986 and 1994).

Where To Watch The NBA Draft (Now With 100 Percent Less Stephen A. Smith)

I’ll readily admit that the NBA Draft is not something I typically take a great deal of interest in. This year, I am exceptionally disinterested because 1) This draft class is horrible, and 2) There will be no Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s draft coverage. Over the past few drafts, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Stephen A. Smith Heckling Society of Gentlemen and the work they’ve done at the NBA Draft. Details of ESPN’s NBA Draft coverage (and last year’s awesome tribute to Cheez Doodles): ESPN At 63rd Annual NBA Draft Draft Televised in HD For First Time For the seventh […]

Where To Watch The Kentucky Derby

By Ryan For those of you interested (I’m mostly talking to you, degenerate gamblers and C-list celebrities in ugly hats), the Kentucky Derby is this Saturday on NBC. I really can’t tell you anything about this year’s Derby, other than every day this week it seems like some potential favorite has been scratched due to injury. Are there even any horses left in this thing? I Want Revenge as been installed as the 3-1 favorite. I’m taking Papa Clem at 20-1. What the hell. I like his name. He’ll probably have to be put down right on the track. Here’s […]

Where To Watch The 2009 NFL Draft

NFL Draft weekend is April 25-26, and there will once again be plenty of hype and more in-depth coverage than ever before as teams select their new saviors. You’ll hear more scouting data about players than you ever cared to know. You’ll hear how every pick is great and fills a need. But really, no one can judge in one weekend in April if any of these draft picks are any good. You can’t measure a draft’s success until the season after — or even a few seasons after — the draft. So take what happens on draft day with […]
