WatchDog is a full service blog. For example: Stuck for cool plans New Year's Eve?
Solved:
I learned at Sunday night's Giants game that the Insight Bowl in Tempe (Indiana vs. Oklahoma State!) on the NFL Network will feature a local flavor: Bob Papa on play-by-play, Kimberly Jones as the sideline reporter.
Jones also will work the Dec. 28 Texas Bowl on the NFL Network. It just doesn't get any better than TCU vs. Houston at this festive time of year.
The next night the NFL Net is scheduled to show Patriots-Giants to portions of America.
Alas, no Papa on that one. Bryant Gumbel will be at the mike, health permitting.
Frank Caliendo (playing Dr. Phil) took quite a shot at poor Bryant on Sunday's Fox pre-game. After noting Gumbel missed Thursday's telecast because of a sore throat, Caliendo said:
"So this week he sucked on a lozenge instead of sucking on my TV."
