Friday Night Lights, 9pm ET Friday, NBC
Wait, you’ll be watching what? Oh, I’m sorry. I thought this blog was about sports - not television shows about teen angst and drama with a small smattering of high school football. Curses, NBC! And damn you, Nielsen families, for not watching this show last season!
#10 South Florida (6-1) at #23 Connecticut (4-3 6-1), 3:30pm ET Saturday, ABC
I said last week that UConn would be three games deep in their losing streak after this game. I stand by that statement. Watch this time as UConn attempts a last-second, game-winning field goal, botches the snap, picks up the ball, and throws it through the uprights. What? There’s nothing wrong with that, as long as the refs didn’t see it.
World Series Game 3: Red Sox at Rockies, 8:35pm ET Saturday, FOX
Note that I put the actual start time up there, so you don’t have to sit through 14 commercial breaks in the first 35 minutes of Fox’s game coverage. Lucky for me, I won’t have to sit through Royce Clayton’s shilling for Taco Bell or the subliminal ads for Chevrolet, because I will actually be at the game.
#1 Ohio State (8-0) at #25 Penn State (6-2), 8:00pm ET Saturday, ABC
Can I mention that this is only Ohio State’s second game against a ranked opponent this year? Can I? Can I? Pleeeease? You can’t spell “overrated” without “Buckeyes.” Actually, you pretty much can. Let’s try again. You can’t spell “overrated” without “The Ohio State University Buckeyes… dork.” There, that’ll do.
New York Giants (5-2) at London Silly Nannies (0-7), 18:00 GMT Sunday, FOX
You know that episode of Family Guy, where Peter gets cut by the Patriots and becomes the only good player on a team full of sissy Brits who run out of the stadium in fear after kickoff? Yeah, this game is kind of like that. Only the role of Peter is played by Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown. And Ronnie Brown is out for the season.
I’m personally convinced that Teletubbies are the devil.
