As I’m charging my iPod, I figured I would give you a quick update. Another busy day as we find that there was a fake edition of the New York Times published complete with fake stories and ads and a convincing website.
Let’s give you some links as I listen to Social Distortion‘s Ball and Chain and other great songs.
Blogging for Darren Rovell, CNBC sports producer Tom Rotunno talks with a Boston Red Sox official about the team’s decision to freeze ticket prices for 2009.

This next link comes from Neil Best through Deadspin. A two linker so to speak. Anyway, John Gonzalez of the Philadelphia Inquirer mentions how the Eagles prevent reporters from visiting certain political websites and sports blogs (scroll down) including Deadspin, The Big Lead and Kissing Suzy Kolber. No word if Fang’s Bites is included on that list.

Ken lists the Army sports that will be aired on radio and on TV. And Ken provides the NFL TV schedule in the New York area.
Maury Brown’s Biz of Baseball has the complete schedule for the World Baseball Classic.
I am Extraordinary. I’m just your ordinary average, everyday sane psycho supergoddess. Sorry, I just love Liz Phair. You can see why here.
Now back to your regularly scheduled links.
