Sunday Links on NFL Opening Day

I slept in and I'm getting a late start on the links.

I hope to finish by them by 1 p.m. Let's go.

Newsday's Neil Best says it was a crazy night at the US Open.

Neil spent some time with SNY Mets analyst Keith Hernandez.

Neil has comments from Cris Collinsworth after a video of him from 25 years ago surfaced.

Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News has a good article on boxing charlatan Max Kellerman. What happened to Max, losing a brother, I don't wish on anyone, but it doesn't change the fact that Kellerman is a boxing charlatan.

Phil Mushnick of the New York Post says Mike Francesa was a nice bodyguard for Kentucky coach John Calipari.

Pete Dougherty of the Albany Times Union says Serena Williams' crazy actions at the US Open last night capped off a great sports day on the tele.

Pete has the itinerary for Giants defensive lineman Osi Umenyiora at ESPN on Tuesday.

Tim Lemke of the Washington Times recaps what happened when Serena Williams went off on the lineswoman at the US Open.

Jim Williams of the Washington Examiner says CBS did a great job in covering the Serena shenanigans last night.

Jim also says it'll be a busy day at the US Open plus there's Sunday Night Football.

Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald writes that weather has forced US Open organizers to constantly tweak its TV schedule with CBS and ESPN2.

Barry Horn of the Dallas Morning News says Cris Collinsworth fell victim to the YouTube generation.

Barry looks at the Cowboys radio announcers over the years.

Barry's colleague at the Morning News, Chuck Carlton writes that ESPN College Gameday visits Austin this week for the Texas Tech-Texas game.

Bob Wolfley of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has ESPN commentators talking about Michael Jordan.

Tom Hoffarth of the Los Angeles Daily News notes that Erin Andrews had another one of those awkward halftime encounters during yesterday's UCLA-Tennessee game.

The Watching the Watchers blog says ESPN.com killed a Rob Neyer column calling for Mark Whicker to be fired.

The Eye on Sports Media's Christopher Byrne chronicles his very long Friday into Saturday.

The Sports Media Watch has its usual weekend ratings predictions.

Ok, that does it. This is being posted at 2:30 p.m. Got distracted by the Red Sox, NFL action and US Open men's semis. Lots of stuff going on.
