No Mas TV Guide: 4/6 - 4/8
MUST-SEE NO MAS TV
The Masters
All weekend, USA & CBS
Despite the statistical advantages held by Brett Wetterich and Justin Rose after the first round, I think we all know that Tiger Woods, four strokes back, is the real leader of this tournament right now. Olazabal also is always one to watch at Augusta, and as a Large wild card, I recommend keeping an eye on Zach Johnson.
BEST OF THE REST
4/6
Davis Cup
VS., 2 p.m.
Six hours of Davis Cup coverage - Spain faces the U.S. in a quarterfinal showdown in Winston-Salem. Despite a strained hamstring, Andy Roddick will play as the U.S. #1, backed up by James Blake. Spain's 1 & 2 are Tommy Robredo and Fernando Verdasco.
UEFA Champions League Highlights
ESPN2, 2:30 p.m.
Get caught up on the week's quarterfinal action.
Eddie Robinson Special
ESPN Classic, 4 p.m.
A tribute to the late, great Grambling football coach.
The Harder They Fall
FlixE, 6:05 p.m.
A boxing classic and a Large favorite. Not as good as the Budd Schulberg novel that inspired it, but still worth a watch no doubt. Bogey's last film.
WWE Smackdown
CW, 8 p.m.
The Undertaker makes his first appearance since capturing the World Heavyweight Title at Wrestlemania 23. Plus, Mr. Money in the Bank, Mr. Kennedy, takes on one-half of the newly-minted World Tag Team Champions, Jeff Hardy.
Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
CBS, 12:50 a.m.
Franchise alert. The one and only Randy Couture is on with the Scotsman.
4/7
Ezzard Charles v. Joe Louis, 1950
ESPN Classic, 7 a.m.
The Brown Bomber's first bout after returning from a year-and-a-half retirement to try and pay his back taxes. After winning this fight in 15-round decision, Charles was universally recognized as the heavyweight champion.
The Bad News Bears (the real one)
TCM, 2 p.m
Well, we committed 24 errors, and their pitcher threw a no hitter against us, but there is some good news. Two of our runners almost managed to get to first base, and we did hit seventeen foul balls.
Davis Cup
VS., 2 p.m.
Day 2 of the Spain/U.S. quarterfinal.
Kingpin
Comedy Central, 2 p.m.
How about a gross of fluorescent condoms for the novelty machine in the men's room? I mean, those are fun even when you're alone. We're talkin' the hula hoop of the nineties.
Joe Calzaghe v. Peter Manfredo Jr.
HBO, 5 p.m. & 10 p.m.
The Pride of Wales defends his super middleweight belts against the Contender alum. I doubt this will end well for Manfredo, but it's always fun to watch Calzaghe go to work.
Lennox Lewis v. Ray Mercer, 1996
ESPN, 6 p.m.
These two big daddies stood toe to toe for ten rounds, and Lennox came out with the majority decision. If you've never seen this one, you will not be disappointed.
Eight Men Out
MNT, 8 p.m.
A modern baseball classic, the story of the Black Sox scandal. John Sayles wrote and directed - D.B. Sweeney plays Shoeless Joe.
Ringside
ESPN Classic, 8 p.m.
The Ringside series takes on Sugar Ray. I'm very curious to see what fights they cleared for this. I know they have Leonard/Hearns I. It's very doubtful to me that they have the Hagler fight, but maybe Duran I & II.
Diego Corrales v. Joshua Clottey
SHO, 9 p.m.
Corrales, coming off an ignominious loss to Casamayor, debuts at 147 against hard-punching Josh Clottey, also coming off a loss, to Antonio Margarito. Some fireworks could fly in this thing.
UFC 69: Shootout
PPV, 10 p.m.
St. Pierre vs. Serra, Koscheck vs. Sanchez, Okami vs. Swick. A pretty solid card featuring some of the best UFC fighters. (Franchise is going to preview this card in depth later today in Sharpshootin').
4/8
Legends
TVG, 12:30 p.m.
The horse-racing network runs an old Howard Cosell interview with Angel Cordero Jr.
Jim Nantz Remembers Augusta: The 1960 Masters
CBS, 1:30 p.m.
Just how old is Jim Nantz anyway? Im not sure I'm buying that he actually remembers the 1960 Masters. Arnold Palmer won it by a stroke over Ken Venturi.
Evander Holyfield v. Riddick Bowe, 1993
ESPN Classic, 2 p.m.
The second of the epic Bowe/Holyfield trilogy, a great fight largely obscured by the Fan Man phenomenon.
Davis Cup
VS., 2 p.m.
Last day of action in the Spain/U.S. quarterfinal.
Pride 34: Kamikaze
PPV, 3 a.m.
The final Pride FC PPV under the old regime before the UFC boys take over. We guarantee this will be the most-exciting live programming on television at this hour. By the way, if you ever wondered what happened to Eric "Butterbean" Esch purchase this show.

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit worried about my man Chico.
Yeah, I wouldn't put money on him no doubt. Clottey can bang, much bigger man that Corrales.
what's the line?
I saw Corrales as a 13/8 favorite earlier today, don't know if that's changed. That's a very bad bet in my opinion.
