No Mas TV Guide - 2/6

Caribbean World Series
SNY, 3 p.m., 7 p.m.
SportsNet New York continues its coverage of the CWS with two games today, Mexico v. Dominican Republic at 3, and Puerto Rico v. Venezuela at 6.

Dakar Rally
Vs., 3 p.m., 4 p.m., 5 p.m.
Vs. covers the Dakar Rally, the off-road race in Senegal known as the most dangerous sporting event in the world to participants and spectators alike. Today's three hours recap stages 1-15.

Connie Hawkins SportsCentury
ESPN Classic, 4 p.m.
This show overdoes the tragedy angle a little bit, with a non-stop barrage of treacly music and artsy shots of Connie looking sad. Nevertheless, it's a tragic tale, Hawkins losing the best years of his career due to his innocent involvement with point-shaving gambler Jack Molinas. Another problem here is a paucity of footage, but what they do have makes it clear that everything they always said about the Hawk is true - he was Julius before Julius, Magic before Magic.

Deliverance
AMC, 8 p.m.
Squeal like a pig. This horrifying tale of four men on a white-water rafting trip is a little man vs. nature, a little man vs. man, and of course, primarily man vs. himself. It's also, in Large's estimation, one of the best movies ever made. Look for James Dickey's chilling cameo at the end as the local sherriff.

ECW Wrestling
Sci-Fi, 10 p.m.
It looks as though they are heading towards an ECW originals vs. New School
angle. Should be interesting. Just please promise us that there will be no
more Lashley vs. Test matches.

Wrestling Society X
MTV, 10:30 p.m.
It's 6-Pac vs. Vampiro for the inaugural WSX title. On top of that,
everyone's favorite Grammy winners, Three-6 Mafia, will be performing on the show and sitting in the commentary booth.

Calvin Brock v. Jameel McCline, 2005
ESPN Classic, 12 a.m.
I know, I know, enough with the Calvin Brock already. But this is a great fight, primarily for the eighth round, which in any other year which did not include the first Corrales/Castillo fight would have been a sure-shot for Round of the Year.
