2011 NFL Draft Time, TV Info, and Live Blog

2011-nfl-draft-time-tv-live-blog

Tonight, for the first time in many weeks, I will actually pay attention to the NFL.

I have been actively avoiding reading and talking about the NFL as much as possible during the nonsense that has been the labor debate and lockout, as I’m sure many of you have too.

I am lifting the football embargo tonight, however, because I love the draft.

Live Blog | ALDS Game Four – Tampa Bay Rays at Chicago White Sox

white sox logoWe had so much fun with today’s live blog of the White Sox-Rays game that we’ve decided to do another one tomorrow. I probably will only be able to be there for a part of it, but KVB and possibly Rizdac, Kaner, and ChiSox40 should be there to provide all kinds of insightful, humorous, and Sox-centric commentary. We’re still learning how to use the program so I apologize in advance for any hiccups, but we will be making this a regular event here at Midwest Sports Fans and we hope you will join us tomorrow.

Just bookmark this link and enter your email address below to be sent a reminder before the game starts. Then plop down on the couch with your laptop and enjoy the game with us, sending in comments whenever you feel like adding to the conversation.
