    Geez I don't know. They've got their work cut out for them with CNN's coverage last night of snow in NYC with the Blizzardmobile.

      The money grab of all time... Cricket is a niche sport in the USA, but it has its followers (mostly folks from the British Empire and it's former colonies) - including me. When ESPN won the US and Caribbean rights to the Cricket World Cup (starts next weekend from Australia and New Zealand), they said it would be on ESPN3 for US viewers.

      No more.

      The *******kers have decided to charge $100 to watch the WC. The trouble is, the games start at 8:20 or 10:20 in the evening (EST) and run for about 8 hours. So who is going to be watching other than the occasional insomniac or rabid fan from the sub continent?

              Try it. You'll like it. Beats the crap out of football - especially the 20 over format.

              It takes about 3 matches to figure out out enough to fully enjoy it, but T20 is swing for the fences on every pitch (bowl).

                    Whew. I was worried I wouldn't get the opportunity to watch all 45 Red Sox/Yankees games this year.

                      Lived in the Middle East for a year and it was on tv a lot. Went to see local tests and even participated some. Ok to play, a yawner to watch.

                        If people watched games that didn't involve the same handful of teams, ESPN would broadcast them.

                          If ESPN was located in Springfield, Illinois instead of Bristol, Conn., Cubs-Cards would be as overplayed as Red Sox-Yankees.

                            That must be why ESPN focuses so much attention on the Mets. Not to mention the Celtics, Knicks, Nets, Jets, Giants, Rangers, Islanders and Bruins.

                              I want to ***** about ESPN like the best of them. But this 30 for 30 movie about the Soviet Hockey team is really interesting.

                              I had no idea that the Olympic Village in Lake Placid was built to be a prison- which is what it is today. We housed the world's athletes in a prison to be? Really?

                              Still, learning more about the Soviet hockey program is pretty interesting.

                                Disney conveniently left that out of Miracle, didn't they?

                                This is a great documentary so far. I heard Red Army is supposed to be even better.
