SNY debuts Big East hoops slate, YES talks money
So sorry to be slow in posting this Friday.
Chicago Norm of The Final Score, who moonlights as our Sunday editor, gave me an extra assignment for the newspaper in a cynical attempt to slow down my pace and give his blog a chance to make some headway.
So I will share a couple of free ads for our local TV friends regarding offerings Friday night, then get back to other duties:
SNY will debut its Big East hoops slate with Kevin Burkhardt calling Northeastern vs. St. John's women and LIU vs. St. John's men as the Red Storm warms up for Monday's showdown with Cornell.
(WatchDog kudos to first reader to identify the St. John's player in the picture, with bonus points for explaining the significance of the picture.)
YES, meanwhile, debuts "Forbes SportsMoney" after the Nets game, which covers topics of interest to, well, me, because it's my job to follow sports business stuff. Among the subjects to be discussed is the impact on sports business of the larger problems with our economy.
Have a nice weekend. Enjoy Ray Lewis trying to tackle Brandon Jacobs.
And Saturday night's Islanders pregame show on MSG Plus 2, of course!

Solly Walker....the first African American to play hoops for the "REDMEN".
Probably 1951, the year St. Johns lost to Kentucky in the 2nd round....which was the "Elite Eight" back then
I suppose the "significance" was that Adolph Rupp allowed his team to take the floor against St. Johns.
Fifteen years later his Kentuckians were still wearing white when the got whupped by Bear Haskins UTEP Miners (nee Texas Western)
FYI,Comcast announced they will begin MLB Network here in Nashville on Dec.16,on the digital tier(no extra charge).
