Early Wednesday notes
- Just caught up on Dollhouse... man... now that's a cliff hanger. Here's to hoping that the series will get picked up.
- The NHL Phoenix Coyotes have filed for Chapter 11. One of the owners of Blackberry has offered to buy the team, on the condition that they move the franchise to Southern Ontario. Now, I will freely admit that I'm no expert on Canadian geography... but where would that be? London? Hamilton?
The story is a very interesting one, as the NHL stepped in to prevent the sale of the team. They've removed the owner from the ability to make an decisions for the team. This will be interesting to see how it plays out.
- The Brewers have won 17 in a row against Pittsburgh. Now, that's just crazy.
- Has ESPN finally gone over the edge? I just turned on Sportscenter and maybe it's a light sports day... They just spent 2 minutes talking about how the Reds/Marlins game was the first ever matchup of pitchers whose last names began with 'Vol.' Good grief.

I don’t know about anyone else, but for me, SportsCenter jumped the shark years ago. It stopped being about sports highlights, and became some crazy sports version of TMZ. Lots of hype, little true highlights and analysis.
Plus, all they talk about is Yankees/Red Sox, Cowboys, and Kobe/Lebron. It gets really tiresome.
SportsCenter went from required daily tv, to maybe 10 minutes of it a week. That is about all I can stand before wanting to turn the channel.
