12:02 PM So is NBC blowing out Lamps for Al Michaels as a daytime Olympic host for the Vancouver games? Appears so.

11:45 AM The Sports Media Watch blog reports, "Boise State's close win over Louisiana Tech drew a 1.2/2 U.S. rating and 1.8 million viewers on ESPN2 Friday night. That outdrew both games of ESPN's Friday night NBA doubleheader." That included the LeBron-as-Urkel vs. Knicks game. Wow.

11:31 AM MLB director of baseball operations Jimmie Lee Solomon said yesterday not to expect any change on instant replay for 2010: "The commissioner (Bud Selig) doesn't see any reason to consider it." This is what happens when you don't own a computer or have a friend under 70.

11:20 AM Is this is nonsensical, gratuitous mention of "Michael Jordan" or what? WTH.
