Day 262

  • Sounds like the 49ers home for the rest of the season will be Phoenix.  They'll be sharing stadiums with the Cardinals, with the next two SF home games being there.
  • Houston Texans:  Will Fuller:  Six games for PEDs.  Probably meaning he tried to put a masking agent on top of it.  He's probably done with the Texans as a result.
  • TV News Part I:  For a long time, many game-show fans have seen the Barker-era The Price Is Right to be the Holy Grail of actually getting those old episodes on current air somewhere.  With the cooperation of BUZZR, a new channel is being created on Pluto's free streaming service on channel 163, effective tomorrow, which will spotlight the 1980's post-fur-era episodes of Barker's TPiR.  The episodes will not make BUZZR's actual schedule -- YET.
  • TV News Part II:  For the first time on a natural stack of questions since 2003 and for the first time in history for a celebrity, the American version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire has cut a top-prize check.  Chef David Chang won the million dollars for his "Southern Smoke Foundation" -- a charity he created to aid fellow New York restaurant workers, last night on ABC.  Chang went far beyond what even other celebrities would do (probably would've walked at $250,000, had he taken a more conservative approach), but scored the million when he correctly guessed (with the aid of an ESPN Phone-a-Friend) that Benjamin Harrison was the first President of the United States to have electricity in the White House.  Even though the million-dollar question noted that neither Harrison nor his wife touched an electrical outlet, for fear of being shocked!   
  • And now late word:  They just moved the Steelers-Ravens game AGAIN -- TO WEDNESDAY!!!!  This does basically bring about a Sunday-Thursday-like window for the two teams, but this HAS TO BE A LAST RESORT.    
  • Early reports indicate there might be two Monday night games and a Tuesday night game next week now -- as of NOW.
