Keith Olberman’s Never Seen These Numbers
23 February, 2010
Holy Congested-on-Cable, Batman!
You gotta figure NBC will ponder moving the Winter Classic over to MSNBC now, and see if it can’t locate an ice dancing competition for New Years afternoon for the big outlet.
Tip of the hat to Steve Lepore of Puck the Media for rounding up more impressive TV numbers from Sunday night. The [...]
Canal Update: Tempting Conditions
14 February, 2010
A first-hand report of conditions down at the C&O Canal arrived this afternoon via comments to my query file of earlier in the week, Dare We Think About Shoveling Canal Snow Too?
Reader Josh reports:
“Drove by earlier today; Canal is (mostly) clear. Still a few small spots with some . . . slush, I guess, but [...]
The TV Numbers Don’t Lie
13 February, 2010
Word late this week arrived of just what all this stylized winning by Washington’s hockey team translates to: Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic delivered the highest-rated Washington Capitals game in network history for its coverage of the team’s game in Montreal on Wednesday night. The game earned an average household rating of 5.8 in the Washington [...]
Postscript on a Punk: Cormier Suspended, Devil Lou Offers a Lament (Sort of) (at Long Last)
26 January, 2010
New Jersey Devils’ General Manager Lou Lamoreillo met with media yesterday in the aftermath of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s decision to suspend Patrice Cormier for the remainder of the season, playoffs included. OFB reader Eric kindly tipped me off to the exchange, which is published at the Devils’ site. Take note of the [...]
A New Level of Intolerable Violence Plagues Hockey
25 January, 2010
Today the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League will announce its final sanctions against Rouyn-Noranda center Patrice Cormier for his nauseating attack on Mikael Tam of the Quebec Remparts on January 17. The brutality hospitalized Tam with brain trauma and destroyed teeth, and Cormier has been suspended ever since. Quebec provincial police are appropriately investigating the [...]
Rewinding to the Warmth of Cooler Times
16 January, 2010
A week ago today so many in our region rushed out onto frozen ponds, creeks and canals, in pursuit of participating in hockey in its purest form. The novelty and splendor led many to capture much of last weekend’s shinny on digital cameras, and pass along the special moments to us this past week. We [...]
January 2010: Update on the Local Media Revolution
15 January, 2010
Even by the perennially sour standards of the Bullets/Wizards, the hoops news here at week’s end is numbing. The city’s star hoopster, a gangster, will be sentenced in D.C. Superior Court today on a felony firearms charge. The star may go to prison, for five years. At least Gilbert Arenas is alive; Sean Taylor, who [...]
These Bears Aren’t From Hershey
16 December, 2009
I was going to write a long post about the recent Don Cherry fiasco and Canadians’ response to it, but decided instead to post a video of bears playing hockey, since there were some similarities to last night’s game. Notably, the bears are better players than David Koci.
On Frozen Pod, Episode 3 – Lost In Washington Post Wonderland
27 February, 2009
Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post and the D.C. Sports Bog graciously hosted us recently in an infamous colleague’s office. We discussed local media’s bandwagon embrace of the very winning Capitals, and if it was likely to last; if the Caps became consistent winners, could there be a re-orienting of local media’s coverage hierarchy; and would he get a tattoo when the Caps win the Cup.
