No Mas Weekend TV Guide: 4/27 - 4/29
4/27
Champions League Highlights
ESPN2, 2 p.m.
Missed the first leg of the semis then? Here's just the thing to get you up to speed.
Colorado vs. Michigan, 1994
ESPN Classic, 4 p.m.
As far as college football goes, you say "Hail Mary" and you instantly start thinking about Doug Flutie. Unless, of course, you went to Colorado or Michigan, in which case you think Kordell Stewart. You could watch this whole game, or save yourself the time and just watch the crappy home-made video below.
Riddick Bowe v. Andrew Golota II
ESPN Classic, 8 p.m.
Always a lark to watch a good cock-punching.
PGA Championship Highlights
Golf Channel, 8 p.m.
A half-hour show on Byron Nelson winning the 1945 PGA. I tell you, with the freakin Byron Nelson tournament going right now, it's all Byron all the time on the Golf Channel these days.
WWE Smackdown
CW, 8 p.m.
Two days before their Last Man Standing match at Backlash, The Undertaker teams up with Batista to take on Mr. Kennedy & Finlay in a No DQ match.
UFC Ultimate Fight Night Friday
Spike, 10 p.m.
A pretty solid card showcasing Josh Koscheck vs. Pete Spratt, Chris Leben vs. Patrick Cote and Nathan Marquardt vs. Ivan Salaverry.
60 Minutes on Classic
ESPN Classic, 10 p.m.
A half-hour show comprising two classic segments from 60 Minutes - this one has an interview with a boxing ring doctor and a 2004 interview that Dan Rather did with the Klitschko brothers ("Wladimir, you clinch more than a muskrat squeezing the spit-juice out of an elderberry vine...").
The Hustler
TCM, 10 p.m.
When I'm goin', I mean, when I'm REALLY goin' I feel like a... like a jockey must feel. He's sittin' on his horse, he's got all that speed and that power underneath him... he's comin' into the stretch, the pressure's on 'im, and he KNOWS... just feels... when to let it go and how much. Cause he's got everything workin' for 'im: timing, touch. It's a great feeling, boy, it's a real great feeling when you're right and you KNOW you're right.
4/28
Emile Griffith v. Benny Paret I
ESPN Classic, 7 a.m.
The first of this tragic trilogy, and the best fight without a doubt. Griffith wins on a stoppage in the 13th. If you haven't seen Ring of Fire by all means do so, and it'll tell you the whole story.
The Penn Relays
ESPN2, 1 p.m.
A Philadelphia and a national tradition dating back to 1895. The deuce has two hours of coverage.
Ringside
ESPN Classic, 8 p.m.
Ringside looks at the early bouts of Ali, including probably the toughest fight the Champ had before Frazier - the Doug Jones bout from 1963, when lithe Cassius was barely but a cruiserweight.
Acelino Freitas v. Juan Diaz
HBO, 10 p.m.
I'm looking forward to this fight - we'll see if Diaz, the "Baby Bull", is the genuine article, and we'll see if Popo Freitas has anything left. The two fighters have one loss between them, Popo's 2004 loss to Chico Corrales in an ugly 10th-round TKO, certainly not a loss to be ashamed of.
Saturday Night Live
NBC, 11:35
A repeat of the Peyton Manning-hosted SNL from a few months ago. The bastard was a lot funnier than I expected.
4/29
Classic Battle Lines
ESPN Classic, 7 a.m.
Watch this show about Mac beating Borg at Wimbledon in '81 and then go to the No Mas store and buy yourself a shirt to celebrate. You know you want it.
Field of Dreams
HBO2, 11:45 a.m.
Be careful if you're all insanely hungover late Sunday morning and you're clicking around the channels aimlessly, because Field of Dreams is on HBO2 and the next thing you know you'll be having epiphanies and weeping like an infant and calling your dad through your tears and your girlfriend will be all like, "you're such a fucking schmuck."
WWE Backlash
PPV, 8 p.m.
Let the Road to Wrestlemania 24 begin. In a Fatal Four Way match, WWE Champ, John Cena, defends his title against HBK, Edge & Randy Orton. In a Last Man Standing match, World Champ, The Undertaker, goes up against Batista. Also, Bobby Lashley puts his ECW title on the line in a 3-on-1 Handicap match against Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon & Umaga. And, in a Wrestlemania rematch, US Champ, Chris Benoit, battles MVP.
Once in a Lifetime
ESPN Classic, 10 p.m.
This 2006 doc about the Cosmos is running Sunday night on Classic. If you haven't seen it, definitely cue up the Tivo - it's a lot of fun. Click here for I-berg's original review.
De la Hoya/Mayweather 24-7
HBO, 10:30 p.m.
I was just talking to the writer of this show today, Aaron Cohen, true friend of No Mas and sometimes contributor. I was telling him how awesome the show is, and I wasn't just buttering his muffin. Shit is awesome with a capital awe. The new episode takes us through the last days of training.
