...followed by the original telecast of Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series. Before the season starts, the MLB Network will primarily feature sports news, original documentaries and spring-training reports for every team. The channel will broadcast World Baseball Classic games in March and 26 regular-season games during the year. The network's signature show is slated to be MLB Tonight, an eight-hour nighttime highlights program featuring updates and occasional live coverage of ongoing games. Think of ESPN's popular highlight program Baseball Tonight on, er, steroids...
...potential problem is that MLB's excellent website, mlb.com, already satisfies this fix for many fans. For $14.95 per month, you can even watch out-of-market games on the site. Plus, despite baseball's overall economic strength, its television ratings dropped like a sinker last season. Fox's regular-season baseball ratings fell 13%, while ESPN's shrunk 7%, and 15 local networks that broadcast baseball saw double-digit ratings declines for their games.

...season 0-15, and by losing 31-21 in Green Bay on Sunday, they go down as the worst NFL team ever. Only the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers had previously finished a year without a win, but they did it in an era when teams played 14, not 16, regular-season games.

In fact, the Lions, who haven't had a winning season since 2000, have just finished...

The 3-1 decision marked Caputo’s first defeat outside of the NWCA All-Star Classic, but the hard-fought bout did not tarnish a stellar overall effort.The...
Proponents laud Kramer's system for infusing humdrum regular-season matchups with drama and import. But critics say the BCS can discriminate against worthy underdogs and elevate the wrong teams to its ultimate showdown. Outrage over its capricious rankings spurred Senate hearings in 2003 and a congressional inquiry in 2005. A 2007 Gallup poll found that only 15% of fans would balk at scrapping the present format for a tidy year-end tournament. This year, that number is probably even lower in the Lone Star State...
