For those interested in sports media there is a must watch on HBO’s Costas Now tonight at 10pm. Bob Costas will host a live 90 minute town hall meeting with variety of different panels from the entire sports media spectrum. It will be broken up into five segments:
- Sports talk radio: A mix of video taped interviews then a live panel with among other’s WFAN’s Chris “Mad Dog” Russo and New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan.

Looks mighty interesting and the fact that it’s on HBO commercial free for 90 minutes is great. This is something crunched down to say an hour with commercials would just be a waste of time. FYI there are more guests than listed above. For more info check out HBO.com
Will Leitch of Deadspin was the top story in today’s Page Six of the New York Post.
Leitch was banned from ESPN in October 2006 after he reported various scandals involving the network’s anchors on Deadspin. ESPN bans any mention of Deadspin on its shows.
Leitch’s book “God Save the Fan,” which is due out on Jan 22, describes some of the bizarre off-air behavior by Chris Berman, Scott Van Pelt and Sean Salisbury, among others.

Results From Round 2 Of Awful Announcing's Mock Draft

As I posted yesterday, I am representing Hot Foot over at Awful Announcing's NFL Mock draft. The guys over at The Big Lead and I split the first two rounds for the Atlanta Falcons, with TBL taking the first round and giving the second round to me. In the first round, TBL selected LSU S Laron Landry with the 8th overall pick. I had the 39th and 44th overall picks. The results are below:
Hot Foot trades the 39th overall pick to Digital Headbutt in exchange for the 45th overall pick, an MP3 of “We Get Live” By Fabulous and an entry at his blog that must include this.
The Extrapolator trades his rights to the 44th overall pick to Hot Foot in exchange for a Ron Mexico jersey and a prescription for Valtrex.
With the 44th pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select…..
Anthony Gonzalez WR Ohio State
As
pretty much everyone and their grandmother knows, the Falcons had some
of the worst recievers in recent memory last year. Roddy White has the
football IQ of a shoe and Michael Jenkins just isn't that good of a
receiver. Joe Horn, Gonzalez and a healthy Brian Finneran will
completly overhaul this weakness and hopefully turn it into a strength.
With the 45th pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select……
David Harris MLB Michigan
Even
though Demorrio Williams is one of the most underrated players in
football (125 tackles and is benched the next year. Ridiculous.), the
organization is obsessed with the abortion that is Michael Boley and
Keith Brooking can't play inside, so it made this pick a lot easier.
Harris is the #2 ILB on NFL Draft Countdown and is coming off a big
year of 103 tackles and 4 sacks.
This pick was between Harris
and Anthony Spencer, the DE out of Purdue, but I'm much more
comfortable with Chauncey Davis starting then I am Jordan Beck.
This week I will be representing Hot Foot in Awful Announcing's NFL mock draft. Many other blogs such as Deadspin, The Big Lead, Sports Show on Mute and Ladies….. will be participating as well. The Big Lead and I will be drafting for the Atlanta Falcons. Being one of the three Falcons fans in the Tri-State area (Sal LaCotta of WFAN and former WFAN caller Erik from the Bronx being the other two), we hope to make other Falcon fans proud. I'll report back at the end of the draft with the results.
The Associated Press is reporting Marlins P Dontrelle Willis was arrested today at about 4:30 AM for drunk driving. A cop saw Willis get out of his black Bentley and urinate in the middle of the street.
I'm sure Deadspin is going to have a load of fun with this today.
I've read two reports on this today. One of them has D-Train just urinating in the middle of the street while another one has Dontrelle urinating in the street when as the cop approaches him, which would be ridiculiously funny. Either way, this story is gold and I expect we will be hearing about this for a couple days since its such a slow sports weekend.
This is very funny. Its sort of like a Mad Libs in the style of irreverant style of Bill Simmons.
