No Mas TV Guide - 6/5

French Open Quarterfinals
ESPN2, 12 p.m.

The big smackdown tomorrow is the second match scheduled on Chatrier, when Serena and Justine Henin-Hardenne go at it. Federer plays after that against the Spaniard Tommy Robredo, who likely will get Moby Fed a good sweat before his rubdown. On Lenglen, the big match is the last once scheduled, Davydenko and Canas. If Canas makes it through to the semi, he plays Fed, who he miraculously beat twice in three weeks back in March.

U.S. Open Highlights
Golf Channel, 8 p.m.

Golf Channel getting us all primed for Oakmont by taking us back to the last time the Open was held at the venerable Pennsylvanian course, the 1994 tournament, when Ernie Els outlasted Loren Roberts and perpetual bridesmaid Colin Montgomerie in the 18-hole playoff to win his first major.

Evander Holyfield v. Michael Dokes
ESPN Classic, 8 p.m.

Rarely referred to when we talk about the Real Deal's great career, his tenth-round TKO of Dynamite Dokes capped off a hell of a fight, largely because Evander in 1989 wasn't quite filled out as a heavyweight yet. As for Michael Dokes, well, he wouldn't have another meaningful fight until he fought Riddick Bowe in '93, when Big Daddy stopped him in the first.

Evander Holyfield v. Bert Cooper
ESPN Classic, 9 p.m.

By 1991, most people thought that Smokin' Bert Cooper, once the charge of Joe Frazier, was a completely shot fighter, but a manly showing in this fight with Evander briefly resuscitated his career. This is really some ultraviolent shit right here. Whatever you do, don't miss the third round.

Late Show with David Letterman
CBS, 11:35 p.m.

Olympic gold-medalist swimmer and overall superhottie Amanda Beard is on with Dave. Why, you ask? Because she's going to be on the cover of Playboy. She posed nude for the July issue. I guess Olympic swimming just doesn't pay what it used to.

Remember the Titans
TBS, 1 a.m.

You take a look at her. Cause once you step on that bus you aint got your mama no more. You got your brothers on the team and you got your daddy. You know who your daddy is, doncha? Gary, if you want to play on this football team, you answer me when I ask you who is your daddy? Who's your daddy, Gary? Who's your daddy?

Last Call with Carson Daly
NBC, 1:35 a.m.
Carson is joined by Tommy Morrison. Unreal. The Duke has been making news lately by calling out Chuck Liddell. If you were going to have to fight Liddell, I must say, now seems like it might be a good time to do it.

Tennis Channel is showing huge chunks of the French Open live...Direct TV has it, as well as Time Warner users (although they have to buy a sports tier to get it...)

yeah, directv is getting it free and they're also giving people 5 or 6 channels just showing matches, but it's not really the tennis channel stuff. it's like a nba league pass kind of thing.

The sports tier is definitely a drag...no doubt, especially since the french live coverage begins at 5 am - noon. . How does the French Open Tonight coverage look?
