This is fun…unless you’re an Orioles fan, I suspect. It’s the sound of Edwin Encarnacion’s walk-off home run at the end of last week’s Wildcard game as heard live at the Dome, on ESPN’s Spanish feed, TBS, WJZ Baltimore, RDS (the French equivalent of TSN) and The Fan 590 Toronto. Based on this, I think …

It has taken me over seven years to do it, but I took another look for that Duffy Moon video I mentioned in this old post, and someone has uploaded it to Youtube! Here it is, all 45 minutes of its…glory? I really didn’t remember much of this video. Somehow, I never noticed how much …
Growing up, I knew of Vin Scully, but I didn’t really know of Vin Scully. I would here his voice sometimes doing the calls on history videos and I was pretty sure he was the guy from Los Angeles, but that was about it. I live nowhere close to California so picking him up on …
I know this is kind of old news now, but I’m noting it anyway because seriously, Peter Mansbridge no longer hosting The National as of this coming July is a pretty big deal. Based on a lot of what I’ve read and heard this is going to be one of those retirements where you don’t …

Somebody posted this to, erm, Facebook, and I decided it needed a place up here. This comedian had the brilliant idea of walking up to average joes while they did average things and telling them they’re inspiring, in order to demonstrate why that annoys us so much.

Here’s a neat piece of history. These are the first seven minutes of TSN, which went on the air on September 1st, 1984. I know the sports broadcasting universe has dramatically changed and expanded since, but I still can’t imagine life without TSN today.

I imagine most of you recognize that song and the movie scene it comes from. It’s pretty famous, dare I say iconic. Growing up in a house with younger siblings, I’ve seen it a million times. Yet somehow, even though I’ve spent a decent chunk of time on the radio and in recording studios, I’ve …

Yup, Fight Network again. This one makes good sense given that Ring of Honor is working so much with New Japan these days. Toronto – Fight Network, the world’s premier 24/7 multi-platform channel dedicated to complete coverage of combat sports, today announced a programming deal to broadcast the weekly New Japan Pro Wrestling English-language series …

It didn’t take nearly as long as I expected for CTV to announce a replacement for the suddenly cancelled Canada AM. Perhaps that shouldn’t be surprising though, considering that what they’ve come up with sounds…pretty much exactly like Canada AM just with different people and probably a new set. Apparently evolving the landscape for today’s …
