Beach volleyball returns to Brooklyn; BDSSP is no more
Odd and ends:
NBC has the women's final at 4:30 p.m. Saturday and the men's final at 4:30 p.m. Sunday of the AVP stop at Coney Island. This will be the first time Chris Marlowe and Paul Sunderland call an event together since the Sydney Olympics. The two were teammates on the 1984 Olympic team and have worked three Olympics together. Heather Cox is the sideline reporter.
Fox Sports Net's "Best Damn Sports Show Period" is kaput. Sports Business Journal's John Ourand reports: Fox confirmed that "Best Damn Sports Show Period" taped its final studio show today, and it will be telecast tonight. The show will remain on the schedule through the fall in its "Top 50" format. A few new "Top 50" shows will be produced as well. "Obviously, since the show premiered in 2001, the RSNs have re-focused and added tons of local pro games and locally produced shoulder programs," a Fox spokesperson said in an e-mail. "The need to have a show like 'BDSSP' fill in the gaps isn't what it was eight years ago."
We have only six more months to decide, people. Is it going to be called "twenty ten" or "two thousand ten?"

With the warden going to be away, I say we let the inmates run the asylum for a while. Feel free to yell out, “Attica! Attica!” or “Alaska! Alaska!” if you believe the man has been keeping you down. Now if you choose to proceed, your choices are either picking up a shiv and tearing this place to shreds or participating in a survey in order to improve our living conditions on Watchdog.
Kindly select which you would prefer more:
1. Faster loading of Watchdog or the slow loading Popular Topics menu on Watchdog’s right
2. More, less, or the same amount of posts and pictures of beautiful women during a month – Feel free to quantify or to give parameters on which topics are suitable
3. For or against Neil Best’s propensity to post an excessive number of posts (some lacking in quality) at the end of each month in order to obtain the coveted crown of finishing first in the race for Newsday’s blog page views.
Feel free to recommend what you would like to see more or less of as well.
I am heading over to Glauber’s blog now. Do you recommend that I tuck my shiv in my belt or in my shoe?
It MUST be 'twenty ten'. People didn't say 'ninteen hundred and' throughout the last century.
Two oh one oh....
As in Beverly Hills.
Listencat.
1/faster loading of Watchdog
2/More ---beautiful women....

I guarantee some people will say "oh-ten". Then they'll correct themselves and say "Twenty-oh-ten". (I've heard it!)
The folks in Vancouver are calling it "twenty-ten" for the Olympics, but if the whole Turin/Torino thing is any example, the US will remain inconsistent and indecisive.
In the Spanish-speaking world, there is no debate: it's "dos mil diez". But Newsday sold the Spanish newspaper Hoy, so that may be irrelevant in this blog.
The NBA and NHL will likely have their "two thousand nine - two thousand ten" seasons, followed by the "twenty-ten - twenty-eleven" season. It's awkward to mix both uses in the same phrase.
For the younger generation who prefer texting and Twittering over talking, it's simply 2010.
One more thing Listencat...
"I am heading over to Glauber’s blog now. Do you recommend that I tuck my shiv in my belt or in my shoe?"
SInce you're headed over to Glauber's blog, don't wear sweat pants, and if you do, don't put the shiv in the pocket of those sweatpants.
Plax's barrister is booked til the end of the year.
Ten
There it is.
(I still can't believe there is a TV audience sizable enough for men's beach volleyball)
