Week 9 NFL Announcing: FOX Giving New Meaning to Term NFL Veterans

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:32:24 -0500

Shame on me. On my show the other day, I questioned the timing of FOX NFL Sunday's trip to Afghanistan to support the troops in the middle of the NFL season, not realizing that Tuesday is Veterans Day. Is it bad that in this country, unless we get a day off from school the holiday goes completely unrecognized and underappreciated? Sure, there's Memorial Day, where we remember and celebrate the lives of our fallen soldiers by grilling up copious amounts of meat and sti...

FOX NFL Sunday To Broadcast From Afghanistan

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:59:00 -0500

During FOX's OT yesterday evening, Curt Menefee and the gang announced that they are talking the show on the road. Well overseas to be exact. FOX's NFL Sunday will be broadcasting a show for the troops in Afghanistan next weekend.

FOX Sports, in conjunction with Armed Forces Entertainment, proudly announced that it would broadcast an unprecedented two-hour special FOX NFL SUNDAY on November 8 (11:00 AM ET/8:00 AM PT) from an undisclosed military installation in Afghanistan.

The Emmy Award-winning team of Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and Jay Glazer make this exciting trans-global journey just three days before Veteran’s Day as a tribute to the dedication and sacrifice of our country’s servicemen and women.

“Our men and women in the military put themselves in harm’s way to protect everything we hold dear, and none more so than those who are stationed in the Middle East,” said FOX Sports Chairman David Hill. “It is our privilege and honor to take FOX NFL SUNDAY to them in November, right before Veteran’s Day. Amidst the fun and football, it’s our hope to showcase the dedication of these men and women who have to defend against a lot more than the Wild Cat.”

Well this should certainly be a blast. Veteran's Day occasionally becomes a forgotten holiday, and needs to be recognized especially during times when America is at war. Great idea by FOX if you ask me.

Super Bowl hysteria and Hot Hoops

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 21:01:09 -0500

A common Super Bowl refrain is that the pre-game hype is Snooze Central. Not true. We're here to let you know that Super Bowl week is incredible. Worst-case scenario is that the sheer number and quality of the parties serves as a great excuse to avoid the banality of mainstream media for a week. Best-case scenario is -- well, I'll leave that to your imagination. Schadenfreude reigns supreme. The New York Football Giants have shocked the world. But even though Super Bowl XLII is in the past, we're not ready to shut down our S.B. coverage quite yet. Keep an eye out here for more exclusive photos and videos from pre-game and post-game parties, including the official New York Giants post-game party, hosted by Michael Strahan and attended by Yardbarker. The DJ had plenty of choice words for the Patriots. I can't remember exact quotes but one of 'em started with "Patriots are..." and may have rhymed with "New York Giants football riches" and "Eric Mangini snitches" (wink, wink). Speaking of choice words, I had a few for Nic after this game of Hot Hoops. Don't know what Hot Hoops is? Watch the video and, as Mike "The Miz" Mizanin said earlier this week to one of the Yardbarkers in AZ, "Be jealous!" - Dewey
