Stuff To Tune In To And Zone Out On For August 24th
• NFL Preseason Football. New York Jets at Baltimore Ravens. I’m excited to watch the two coaching greats, Rich Kotite and Brian Billick, match wits. Should be a doozy. [ESPN, 8:00 ET]
• MLB Baseball. Detroit Tigers of Michigan at the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Jim Leyland, nicotine withdrawals and baseball. Doesn’t get much better than this. [ESPN2, 10:00 ET]
• Little League Baseball. World Series, Pool Play: Staten Island (N.Y.) vs. Urbandale (Iowa). I’m sorry, but Urbandale, Iowa? Does being “urban” in Iowa mean you have a stoplight and a Papa Murphy’s? [ESPN2, 8:00 ET]
• Basic Cable Movie of the Night. Wild Hogs. Coincidently, that is also the title of something I wrote about my experiences one summer when my family’s cabin was across the lake from a fat camp for girls. I can still remember the smells wafting across the water. [FX, 8:00 ET]
