I clarify some of my comments from earlier in the week about my future and The Sporting Blog. You can read about the news here.

We also talk about Franck Ribery’s hooker problems and how, maybe even including Tiger Woods, nothing this crazy happens in American sports. This story is super crazy, including the hooker sending a letter to the French National Team coach to implore him to not let the fact that she turned in two of his players for sleeping with her while she was underage cloud his decision on who to bring to the World Cup.

Insane.

Plus, we lay out the groundwork for our yearlong fantasy league.

Nick and I talk a lot about the British Open and the anonymity of Louis Oosthuizen. Even ESPN didn’t know who he was, which was kinda nice, actually. We debate the need for the debate golf analysts always have about if he’s the next big star or a one-hit wonder for majors. Look at this [...]

Hello faithful listeners. We’re back. We talk about some things today. Won’tcha come join us?

In today’s show, we talk about:
• The media horde during situations like the Virginia lacrosse murder
• Sports! Including hockey playoffs and the NBA. Well, it’s probably most about baseball, let’s be honest.
• TV! Namely a conversation using my Press Coverage column at TSB as a launching point about CNN asking viewers and readers to submit iReports, most egregiously during the investigation of the Times Square car bomb. How about this idea? Tell your fans to get the hell to Jersey, there’s a car that could explode.
• I forget to ask Nick if he has anything else and it turns out he has TWO things!

Good to be back. Click here to listen.

Let’s be honest. I COULD do a show today. But it would suck and everyone would make fun of how I sound. So we’ll be back tomorrow. Sorry for screwing up your mornings.

Last year, when Tony Kornheiser wasn’t on radio during the NCAA tournament, he offered me the authority to reach out to Phil’s Mom — the woman whose bracket picks on his radio show are so outlandishly hilarious that we’ve raised thousands of dollars selling charity t-shirts — and get her on our show. She decided not to do it, but thanked me for the offer. Trying to find a good replacement for hilarious bracket picks, I hastily recorded my then not-quite two year old daughter making bracket picks. Little did I know she had a double ear infection at the time, but the lack of focus and constant falling down made the video even funnier.

So, indulge me in year two of Zoe Picking Brackets. And here’s a link to her entire bracket.

No show today. We were going to have Skeets on, but it makes more sense to have him on next week once they have some Score things to promote. Nick is off being an international man of mystery. Or at work. One of those.

If you haven’t please take the time to listen to yesterday’s show.

If you just showed up and things look a little different, they are. We’re in the process of moving things over to our new system — something we should have done a year ago. Please be patient while we try to figure this whole thing out. We hope you like the changes. More to come.
