The Week Ahead In Sports: What To Watch And Watch For

I thought this might be handy and useful to read each week. Let's call it our sports’ mini-TV Guide, Fan Forum style.

Frozen Four Championship, ESPN, 7pm

Sunday, April 10:

Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, HBO, 8pm- 10th Anniversary special

Monday, April 11:

Tuesday, April 12:

Wednesday, April 13:

I find it ironic that arena football is followed by "real sports"

As soon as I saw Philadelphia Soul, I actually thought of the show, Real World.

I think the reason behind them putting in the Colorado Crush/Philadelphia Soul game, because John Elway owns the Crush and Jon Bon Jovi owns the Soul.

I'm sure that might have had something to do with it.

The two big things to watch this weekend are the NFL draft and the start of the NBA playoffs. Nothing else matters.

Bingo! The AFL has made these two owners the face of their league. You won't come across an AFL on NBC commercial without either guy being involved. I don't really care for Arena football, but I understand why they are doing it.
