TMac is doing PBP for Lions/Browns with Heath Evans in two weeks when all the FOX teams switch around to accommodate Joe Buck

Also in week 6, CBS is sending Cowher (PIT/NYJ), Esiason (CIN/BUF) and Sharpe (JAX/DEN) out to join their former teams for 3-man booths. Ratings!

that wont increase ratings at all and is not for ratings...it for pub for their brand. theyll get stories and tweets off of it, nothing more nothing less.

30 for 30 Tuesday night on ESPN is about Eddie Aikau, famous Hawaiian waterman/big wave rider who disappeared while trying to paddle a surfboard to Maui for help after the research sailing canoe he was on sank during a storm in 1978. If it's anything like his biography "Eddie Would Go" it should be pretty good.

Will do. Thanks. I love the ABA. It was on it's last legs when I was a very young kid. I was so excited about Dr. J joining the Sixers. ABA had some great names - Pros, Chaparrals, Colonels, Conquistadors. Never did figure out the Memphis Tams name. I just looked it up - The nickname was an acronym for Tennessee - Arkansas - Mississippi. They were owned by Charles O. Finlay who owned the Oakland A's.

PhillyPhreak54 · October 10, 2013, 06:27:12 PM

Didn't him and Simmons hate each other?

ice grillin you · October 10, 2013, 06:42:29 PM

if they did they played it off wonderfully.....the best thing about that show the last couple years was the chemistry on set

PhillyPhreak54 · October 10, 2013, 08:49:10 PM

Yeah I just read at thing where it said Simmons basically ran Magic and Wilbon off

MDS · October 11, 2013, 02:46:42 AM

simmons denied it and magic is going to be on his podcast next week

its probably somewhere in between. magic saw the simmons was in charge and since hes a control freak he got out before he could get got. but yes simmons did run off wilbon, which isnt such a bad thing since willy buns is just a star farger.
