Sports is no fun if you don’t know what’s going on. Here’s what’s going on:
In today’s segment, I covered:
- British Premier League Soccer – Stoke City at Manchester United, 7:45 a.m. ET on NBC Sports Network. — You know those total lunatics who wake up early in the morning on January First to go run a 5k or a 10k or dive into the freezing cold ocean? Well here’s a sports fan rejoinder to them. Get up equally early, get yourself some orange juice, and watch some soccer. After a slow start, Machester United is up to third place in the premier league and still charging to the top. I doubt stoke will provide too much of a challenge but you never know.
- NHL Hockey – Chicago Blackhawks at Washington Capitals in the Winter Classic, 1 p.m. ET (although it might be delayed) on NBC.
- NCAA Football – Florida State vs. Oregon in the Rose Bowl, 5 p.m. ET on ESPN.
- NCAA Football – Ohio State vs. Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
- And more!
