Very few TV shows make it to a point to where they become their own cultural movement. HBO’s Game of Thrones has accomplished just that. Pulling in an already quite high three million viewers on its debut in 2011, the show has grown to the most downloaded (over six million people downloaded the Season 3 Finale) and one of the most watched on the planet. Even the POTUS, Barack Obama, has been noted as one of the shows followers, and according to the directors, he even gets sneak peek. Yes, the show could be called possibly the biggest franchise on TV right now. Read more

Well it’s that time of year in the NBA. On maybe one of the slowest weekends in all of sports (no NFL, no baseball, and just a bit of whatever “curling” is), the league’s best will hold their Super Bowl in a cultural sense. The All-Star game has always been a block party in the NBA, and this year will be no different. Read more

In sporting news recently released by Dish Network, ESPN Deportes will be carried on several DishLATINO packages starting immediately on Dish Network Satellite TV.
For sports enthusiasts who want the best soccer and worldwide football action, ESPN Deportes is an absolute must have. All programming is in Spanish for Latino communities and Spanish-speaking Americans everywhere, but remember Deportes also carries game not found on other stations, so even English-speaking satellite users should be interested.

(This is great for English-speaking users who still want great soccer and international coverage they can’t get anywhere else.)

Well it’s finally here, and you couldn’t have picked a better match up — except for the fact that this is the exact match up every analyst picked at the beginning of the season. But, again, this is a good thing. These were the best two teams throughout the year, and here we are. It rarely happens this perfectly, especially in football these days as injuries have been mounting up to ridiculous degrees. The story lines are clear: Peyton’s legacy, and the “team-first” nature of the Seahawks and their young quarterback. Are these the actual game story lines though? We’ll see. Read more

Fox Sports has announced it will stream live all of its coverage from Super Bowl 48 next Sunday. The move is being characterized as the Fox network showcaing it’s online and mobile authenticating services.
Naturally, the free “preview” is not permanent, and subscribers to FOX’s online content will have to subscribe (i.e. pay). However, the most watched event in the United States every year isn’t a bad place to start for showcasing a new product. Read more

Troubling developments within Brazilian construction of one of the major stadiums for the 2014 FIFA World Cup have led to doubts over whether or not the stadium will be ready in time to fulfill it’s duties. The Arena da Baixada in Curtiba, Brazil is well behind schedule and has suffered multiple issues since building began.
Several teams scheduled to play in the stadiums (most World Cup-hosting nations have multiple venues with different teams playing in different areas of the country), including #1 world-ranked Spain, might be in jeopardy of having their schedules changed — disrupting their preparation and basic comforts at the very least.
