No Mas Weekend TV Guide: 3/23 - 3/25
3/23
NCAA Regional Semifinals
CBS, 7 p.m.
Georgetown v. Vandy, North Carolina v. USC, Florida v. Butler and UNLV v. Oregon. Before you go wagering away your hard-earned loot, you be sure to check back with us for some advice from the sage Unsilent.
WWE Smackdown
CW, 8 p.m.
The chairman of the board, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, makes a special appearance on Smackdown this week. Plus, Batista & The Undertaker put their 'Mania differences aside when they team up to face Finlay & King Booker.
Miguel Cotto v. Carlos Ramirez
ESPN Classic, 8 p.m., 12 a.m.
Some early Cotto, and some hyperviolence, as he puts the smack all over the overmatched Ramirez.
Friday Night Fights
ESPN2, 9 p.m.
The FNF headliner features somewhat hot welterweight prospect Delvin Rodriguez against Jesse Feliciano, a soupcan being served up for supper. This one should end quickly, but Rodriguez is definitely worth a look.
Jimmy Kimmel Live
ABC, 12:05 a.m.
The Maloofs (or as I like to call them, the "Mamalucs"), owners of the Sacramento Kings, are on with Kimmel tonight. I spend a lot of time out in the Sacramento area these days, and recently I went to a game at the Arco Center with a hardcore Kings fan who hates the Maloofs with a passion that divides nations. He pointed out that they made their fortune by owning casinos, which make all of their money off of suckers gambling on games they know nothing about. Now, however, it seems the Maloofs have fallen into that same trap with the NBA.
Bloodfist III: Forced to Fight
SHOe, 1:30 a.m.
All high in the wee wee hours alert. Bloodfist III... this shit is in a prison.
3/24
Jack Dempsey: The Early Years
ESPN Classic, 7 a.m.
Footage of the Manassa Mauler from the fight where he won the heavyweight title from the Pottawatomie Giant, Jess Willard, along with clips from the Carpentier and Tommy Gibbons fights.
A Touch of Evel
ESPN Classic, 10 a.m.
A profile of one of the greatest sportsman of the 20th century, motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel. Watch this and just let the awesomeness roll over you in cascading waves of awesome.
Road to the Final Four
CBS, 3 p.m
If you're more like me than Unsilent, and you pretty much don't know what the hell is going on with the tourney but you want to watch the Elite Eight, well, this is the show for you... us.
NCAA Regional Finals
CBS, 4:30 p.m.
The aforementioned Elite Eight gets underway.
Mikkel Kessler v. Librado Andrade
HBO, 9:45 p.m.
If you haven't seen the Danish Hitman in action, here's your chance - Kessler is the WBC and WBA champ at 168 and he's got very heavy hands. Also, I believe that before the Kessler fight, HBO will replay last week's Barrera/Marquez bout.
Saturday Night Live
NBC, 11:30 p.m.
Peyton Manning hosts. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at rehearsals from the Indianapolis Star - "Manning seemed happy with his personal spin on a recurring sketch that features hillbillies describing the ridiculous circumstances that led to their ailments." Sounds fucking hilarious.
3/25
Classic Battle Lines
ESPN Classic, 7 a.m.
Battle Lines sets up the Duke/Kentucky showdown in the '92 tournament, a.k.a. the Laettner Game.
Perfect Upset: The 1985 Villanova vs. Georgetown NCAA Championship
HBO, 7 a.m.
Great doc on the second biggest upset in the history of sport. Another piece of trivia - Franchise worked on this sucker, so you know the shit is good.
Hoosiers
AMC, 11:30 a.m.
Alright, boys, this is the last shot we got! We're gonna run the picket fence at 'em! Jimmy, you're solo right! Everett, hit Whit comin' across! Now, boys, don't get caught watchin' the paint dry!
U.S. v. Ecuador
ESPN2, 12 noon
An international friendly being played down in Tampa - the two teams haven't met since 2002.
NCAA Regional Finals
CBS, 2:30 p.m.
More Elite Eight action - at the end of this session, the Final Four will be set.
Fast Break
ESPN Classic, 8 p.m, 12 a.m.
A lost nugget from 1979 in which Mr. Kotter leaves the sweathogs and goes to coach a college basketball team. Ah Gabe Kaplan must still yearn for that 16-month period in the 70's when he could actually get a job.
Tough Enough
FMC, 10 p.m.
Dennis Quaid plays a country singer who decides to become a boxer. Warning - this movie is so bad that it goes all the way around to being awesome... but then goes around again to being even worse that it was in the first place.
Emile Griffith v. Dick Tiger, 1970
ESPN Classic, 12 a.m.
Are you kidding me? Emile and Dick Tiger in a super-middleweight battle from 1970? And at the Garden no less. Oh shit. I love you Classic... even though you fired me, I still love you. (Note - one of the judges for this bout was none other than Harold Lederman - "okay Jim, I gotta tell you...")
