Remember my blog post Friday in which SNY analyst Bobby Ojeda revealed that while he is a fan of Jerry Seinfeld - who had called Ojeda his favorite person on TV in a Twitter post two days earlier - he never has actually seen Seinfeld's iconic 1990s show, "Seinfeld"?

Well, if not, check the link above or read the cut and paste below. Anyway, Ojeda's admission shocked many fans of...

O.J. Simpson's slow-motion white Bronco chase remains a where-were-you-then moment for most Americans over age 30 or so - 19 years to the day later.

Mine? I was at Madison Square Garden covering Game 5 of the NBA Finals, which presented some unusual challenges.

Some of my fellow journalists were in the media work room, watching the game on TV for logistical purposes, then found themselves...

Bill Simmons has a history of trouble with the Twitter police at ESPN – including twice being banned from tweeting for a time – for sharing blunt opinions with his more than two million followers.

But that hasn’t deterred him. Thursday night he was at it again. First he tweeted a complaint that a crack he made about Dwyane Wade was deleted from late editions of “SportsCenter’’ and added a...

Jerry Seinfeld is among the most iconic figures in television history, thanks to his eponymous sitcom of the 1990s, but who does Seinfeld himself most like to watch on TV?

The answer came Wednesday, when the avid Mets fan posted this on his Twitter feed: “Bob Ojeda is my favorite person on TV.’’ Then he added the following hashtags: #insight #smart #energy #justlikehepitched.

Wow! What...

Fans over age 8 or so might recall the 3D TV fad of 2009 and ‘10, during which several sports marked milestones with their first-ever live, 3D telecasts, a period during which I wore a variety of unflattering glasses in public.

Well, all that appears to be over now, with the news Wednesday that ESPN will discontinue its 3D channel by the end of the year, citing lack of interest.

Someday...

NFL officials announced Tuesday that Super Bowl Boulevard (a/k/a Broadway) will feature a 60-foot-high, 108-foot long toboggan run in Times Square that could handle up to 50,000 rides in the days leading up to the big game.

No word on whether it will be converted into a new TKTS booth afterward.

But more mundane prep work continues for Super Bowl XLVIII, too, covering everything from...

LeBron James didn't exactly dominate the Spurs to help the Heat even the series at one game apiece in the NBA Finals, but he did make one standout play in Game 2.

With 8:21 to go in the game, Spurs center Tiago Splitter received a pass from Tony Parker in the paint. The 6-11 Brazilian went up for the dunk, but in Dikembe Mutombo fashion, LeBron James figuratively said: "No, no, no. Not...

In a sense my sportswriting career began April 24, 1976, when 15-year-old me attended Game 7 of the Spurs-Nets ABA semifinal and promised myself I would tell future generations how great Julius Erving was in his low-exposure ABA days.

Now I don't have to, thanks to "The Doctor,'' a documentary that premieres at 9 p.m. Monday on NBA TV and features extensive footage of Roosevelt's own...

Keith Olbermann is among the most polarizing figures in political media, but his passion for baseball long predates his days as a left-leaning lightning rod on MSNBC and later Current TV.

So much so that he noted upon being hired to host TBS' postseason studio show that it would be the third network for which he has done playoff baseball.

"I guess that is a record I'm the only one...

Yes, I will be in Philadelphia Saturday for the Cornell vs. Duke lacrosse national semifinal, because that is what I do when Cornell reaches the Final Four.

Still waiting on witnessing my first national championship for the Big Red. I was not associated with the school the last time it won it all - in 1977.

Speaking of 2009, when Syracuse snatched a national title from Cornell in the...
