Mike Reynolds
Posted by Mike Reynolds on November 22, 2009

Landon Donovan and David Beckham’s boys take on Real Salt Lake for the right to hoist the MLS Cup tonight. Do you care enough to tune in? One of the domestic circuit’s most important franchises, the LA Galaxy need to bring home the title to validate the Beckham experiment — he’s heading back to AC Milan to maintain his fitness for a final World Cup run for England ......

Nielsen Dawg

Mike Reynolds
Posted by Mike Reynolds on November 18, 2009

If there was ever a night to tune out Tirico, Jaws and the contract-extended Jon “Chucky” Gruden, it was Monday night. ESPN was saddled with a MNF clunker on Nov. 16: the now 1-8 Manginiuses hosting the underachieving Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland’s Dawg Pound. And let’s be fair, there wasn’t anything to miss during the lackluster contest. The Brady Quinn Brownou ...... Read More

Pinstripe Power

Posted by Mike Reynolds on November 6, 2009

The core four. One for the thumb. A win for The Boss. The phrases associated with five-time World Series champion New York Yankees Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada, plus principle owner George Steinbrenner, can give way to the numbers 27, $207 million and 19.4 million, as in the franchise’s record number of North American pro sports titles, its payroll for the jus ......

Mike Reynolds
Posted by Mike Reynolds on October 31, 2009

Sunday’s going to be a very good day for Fox Sports. With a a pair of New York-Philadelphia meetings serving as the appetizer and dessert and Brett Favre’s Minnesota Vikings visiting the Green Bay Packers as the steak and sizzle, Fox could be looking at 70 million Nielsen sports fans on Nov. 2, give or take a couple of mil. With first place in the NFC East on the line, the Giants inv ...... Read More

Revisiting Fall Classic And Fox's Nielsen History

Mike Reynolds
Posted by Mike Reynolds on October 28, 2009

The New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies have only met once in the World Series before — a four-game sweep by the Bronx Bombers over the Whiz Kids in 1950. But there are plenty of historical ties linking the teams. The Phils are looking to become the first MLB team to repeat since the 1998-2000 New Yankees. Charlie Manuel, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard & Co. are also looking to beco ...... Read More

Bicoastal Ball

Saturday Night's Alright For Qualifying

Mike Reynolds
Posted by Mike Reynolds on October 11, 2009

Not that there was much concern — was there? — but officials at ESPN and Univision, FIFA’s World Cup rights-holders in the States, can rest a lot easier now. It became official Saturday night: both the U.S. and Mexico national teams qualified for the 2010 World Cup last night.  As the first- and second-ranked teams in the CONCACAF region, the U.S. (11th globally, accordin ......

Favre: 4 For 40

Mike Reynolds
Posted by Mike Reynolds on October 7, 2009

It’s been said and spoofed that John Madden, the retired doyenne of football broadcasters, loves Brett Favre. Suffice it to say, more than a few of the boys (and girls) in Bristol share that emotion. No. 4 reciprocated on Oct. 5, presenting ESPN and Monday Night Football with a Nielsen gift to celebrate the franchise’s 40th anniversary — cable’s all-time audience mark. ...... Read More

How ‘bout them Cowboys? Jimmy Johnson may not have been in Jerry Jones’s new house for Dallas’ desultory win over Carolina, but plenty of Nielsens were watching Monday Night Football. Love or loathe ‘em, the ‘Boys are TV eye candy and their 21-7 triumph drew some 15.7 million viewers, the biggest cable audience thus far in 2009. That gives Dallas three of the top ...... Read More

Mike Reynolds
Posted by Mike Reynolds on October 1, 2009

Plenty of interested parties in the Second City — not to mention New York, Bristol and perhaps even Philadelphia — on how things will go in Copenhagen tomorrow. That’s when International Olympic Committee members will choose among Tokyo, Rio de Janiero, Madrid and Chicago as the site for the 2016 Summer Games. Heads of state, including Mrs. Obama and her husband, taking time o ...... Read More
