Let’s give a few links tonight.<\/p>\n

First, if you’re a subscriber to XM Satellite Radio and an NHL fan, you’re in luck because it will carry every game of the season. This is the first year of a long term agreement. The NHL had been with Sirius up until last season. Orbitcast has that story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ESPNU has picked up 75,000 subscribers thanks to a new agreement with Armstrong Cable Systems<\/a>. The channel can now be seen on Armstrong systems in Western PA, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland.<\/p>\n

Tim Ott of MLB.com has a story on TBS getting ready<\/a> to broadcast its first MLB postseason. Here are highlights of a TBS Conference Call<\/a> with the media involving Cal Ripken, Jr., Tony Gwynn and Chip Carey.<\/p>\n

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Bob Wolfley writes about the President’s Cup, Dan Dierdorf’s comments on Tony Kornheiser and Dan Marino being gracious about Brett Favre<\/a> tying his touchdown record.<\/p>\n

The Iowa City Press-Citizen has the channel assignments for the Big Ten Network games at noon ET on both DirecTV and Dish Network<\/a>. I will also list them tomorrow when I list the College Football Viewing Picks.<\/p>\n

Allan Kreda at Porfolio.com writes about Joe Theismann’s unceremonious bouncing from ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Forbes Magazine lists the Top 40 Sports Brands in the World<\/a> and at number one is ESPN. I’m sure CNBC’s Darren Rovell will have his take on this tomorrow. Here’s a slideshow of the brands from number 1-40.<\/p>\n

Will Leitch of Deadspin writes in New York Magazine about the reaction to his story last week about Alex Rodriguez’s agent Scott Boras looking into buying the Chicago Cubs<\/a> and it being pushed into the Sports Spin Cycle as Leitch calls it.<\/p>\n

Dan Patrick posted on his blog Wednesday<\/a> that he’s coming back next week.<\/p>\n

By the way, if you’re a Comcast subscriber, you might be interested in the 5 Confessions of a Comcast Customer Service Rep<\/a> posted on the Consumerist blog. I do this as a public service. Sometimes it’s not all sports here at Fang’s Bites.<\/p>\n

And that’s going to do it. Friday will be busy as we’ll have our mega-links, Primetime Viewing Picks, Weekend Viewing Picks, College Football and NFL Viewing Picks and my NFL Picks. How will I get it all in?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
