Southern Cross Austereo has launched a new Saturday afternoon Nrl radio show on Triple M Sydney called the Offload. The hosts, Gordon Tallis, Ryan Girdler, Adam MacDougall and Anthony Maroon are all former football players except for Maroon.
The announcement:
Triple M Sydney has added three high profile Nrl stars to its sporting line up for 2012 with the introduction of a new Saturday afternoon Nrl Show ‘The Offload’ from this Saturday 19 May.
Triple M has recruited Gorden Tallis, Ryan Girdler & Adam ‘Mad Dog’ MacDougall. The trio will be joined by former Triple M Monday Night Football Radio Commentator Anthony Maroon.
Tallis, MacDougall and Girdler have all played for Australia, State of Origin and won Nrl premierships for the Broncos, Penrith and Newcastle. Unbelievably, the trio all played together in the 2000 Rugby League World Cup. In one game against Russia, all three scored tries and Girdler freakishly kicked 17 goals.

Blackburn Rovers have one last roll of the dice tonight in their increasingly losing fight for survival when they take on Wigan tonight in the Sky Sports Monday Night Football attraction. The Latics will be going all out for the win knowing that a draw tonight might even be enough to keep them up depending on the results at the weekend. Blackburn however know they must win tonight.
Kick-off at Ewood Park is at 8pm.
Rovers boss Steve Kean could welcome Martin Olsson back to the side having missed the last three games with a groin complaint. Kean will give the player a late fitness test, as he also will to Bradley Orr (achilles).
Defender Grant Hanley (knee) is still sidelined.
Kean has confirmed that forward David Goodwillie will be part of the squad despite his community service order issued earlier in the week for assaulting a man in Glasgow. »

Tickets for the biggest and most important Manchester derby in living memory have been selling online for an incredible £1,300.
Manchester City entertain bitter rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Monday night in what could be the Premier League title decider. Only three points separate the two sides with three games left to play and a win for Manchester United on their “noisy neighbours” home ground would surely secure another title for their trophy cabinet.
The online sales have led to police fears of potential trouble if rivals fans end up sitting next to each other in the stadium.
The Sun quote a Greater Manchester Police spokesman;
‘We’d warn fans that if they buy tickets online they could be fakes and if home fans end up in the away end or vice versa they’ll be identified early on and ejected.’
For fans spending £1,300 on a single ticket for the game, »

Dennis Miller is hoping his second run on ABC goes better than his first.
The actor/talk show host/comedian is on his way back to the network that hired him years ago as an analyst for Monday Night Football. This time, though, instead of calling the action, he'll be right in middle of it.
Miller will play Nelson Burke on Awesometime, an upcoming sitcom starring Ben Rappaport (Outsourced) as a character who moves in with his co-worker (portrayed by Nick Kocher) and his roommate (James Earl III) after he catches his wife cheating.
Burke is the boss at Rappaport's architecture company, a man who - as described in ABC casting notes - "has never smiled."
Miller appeared in an episode of Hawaii Five-0. »

Dennis Miller has joined the ABC pilot "Awesometown" as a genius boss who delivers cutting putdowns with surgical precision. That shouldn't be a stretch for the former "Saturday Night Live" "Weekend Update" anchor, known for obscure and bitter insults. In recent years he has turned to political commentary, espousing his libertarian streak of conservatism. He has also spent two years as a "Monday Night Football" color commentator and hosted several talk shows. "Awesometown," written by Adam Sztykiel, follows four young professionals in New York. The rest of the cast includes Nick Kocher, James »

For just the sixth time in Monday Night Football's 42-year history, only two announcers will man the iconic booth, Espn announced Wednesday. Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden will handle all of the commentary for the sports empire's signature broadcast, as long-time Espn analyst Ron Jaworski will exit. Jaworski, a former NFL quarterback known as "Jaws," will still contribute to Espn’s other football programming, such as “Sunday NFL Countdown” and “NFL Live.” “I thank Ron for the great contributions he has made to Monday Night Football and look forward to the many ways he »

I’ll be honest, I can’t really picture millions of macho American football fans putting aside their Miller Lites and nacho supreme platters to pay hushed attention to Madonna belting out “Like a Virgin” on Sunday. I could be wrong, but recent halftime show performances by air guitar-friendly classic rock bands like the Who, U2, and Aerosmith seem a little safer. Even a red-state songstress like Faith Hill seems like a smarter choice since she’s already wooed dudes with her rendition of the Monday Night Football theme. I suppose Madge will bring a whole new audience to an NFL broadcast, »

The Producers Guild of America announced the winners of its theatrical motion picture and TV nominations for the 2012 PGA Awards. Check out the full list of nominees and winners (marked in red) below. This year's big winner was "The Artist," which means that the silent film will likely also go on to win the Oscar for Best Pictures since the PGA Awards predict the Academy Award winner about 75% of the time. In the animation category, Steven Spielberg's "The Adventures of Tintin" won, beating out "Rango" and "Cars 2." On television, "Modern Family" was chosen as the best comedy and "Boardwalk Empire" as the best drama. Theatrical Motion Picture Nominees: Theatrical Motion Pictures: * The Artist * Bridesmaids * The Descendants * The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo * The Help * Hugo * The Ides of March * Midnight in Paris * Moneyball * War Horse Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures: * The Adventures of Tintin * Cars 2 * Kung Fu Panda 2 »

Last night the Producers Guild of America (PGA) gave out awards for achievement in films and television released in 2011. The big winner was The Artist, which took home the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures. As the winner of this award takes the Best Picture Oscar three times out of four, any betting on the top Oscar honor is pretty much over at this point. Read on for the full list of winners. The PGA website provides the list. In each case I've left the full slate of nominees, and winners are bolded. I'm happy to see the excellent A Tribe Calle Quest doc, Beats, Rhymes and Life, picking up the award for best documentary. The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures: The Artist Producer: Thomas Langmann Bridesmaids Producers: Judd Apatow, Barry Mendel, Clayton Townsend The Descendants Producers: Jim Burke, »

By Sean O’Connell
hollywoodnews.com: It’s beginning to look a bit like a landslide. The Producers Guild of America is the latest group to reward Michel Hazanavicius’ “The Artist” with its year-end Best Picture honors, paving the way for what could be Oscar domination next month.
The black-and-white and predominantly silent film has been picking up top prizes throughout the season, winning Best Picture awards at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards and the Golden Globes. On accepting the PGA distinction, producer Thomas Langmann said that when they “dreamed of making ‘The Artist,’ we knew we were dreaming of writing a love letter to American cinema.”
Oscar nominations arrive on Tuesday morning, and “The Artist” is expected to lead all films with the most nominations. It’s best to caution against landslide victories in what amounts to “the primaries.” Last year, David Fincher’s “The Social Network” did very »

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced the winners of their 2012 awards tonight and The Artist keeps on rolling while the animated contenders got a bit of a shake-up. The Adventures of Tintin earned its second big win in less than a week after winning at the Golden Globes last weekend as it took home the producer of the year award for Best Animated Feature tonight. Does this mean Rango is now on the ropes? More on that in a second... Of the more than 5,000 members of the Producers Guild, only 446 of them are members of the Academy, but, despite the number discrepancy, you can rest assured their declaring The Artist a winner tonight is a big deal. Since first handing out the award in 1990, 14 of the 21 PGA Producer of the Year winners have gone on to win Best Picture at the Oscars with the last four winners matching exactly. »

The two-hour series premiere of Fox’s Alcatraz did solid business last night, drawing a 3.3/8 among adults 18-49 and 10 million total viewers. It was up 10% in the demo from the fast national for the two-hour series debut of Terra Nova on the night in the fall and is tied with ABC’s Revenge as the second highest-rated new drama in 18-49 this season behind ABC’s Once Upon A Time. (A bit of trivia: both Alcatraz and Once Upon A Time hail from Lost alums.) This is Fox’s highest-rated drama series premiere in 3 years among adults 18-49 (since Lie To Me on Jan. 21, 2009) and in 2 years in total viewers (since Human Target on Jan. 17, 2010). While Alcatraz edged Terra Nova, there should be an asterisk to the comparison as Alcatraz didn’t have to go against male audience magnet Monday Night Football, while Terra Nova‘s debut aired against one of Mnf‘s biggest games. »

It’s top against bottom in the Premier League tonight as Wigan take on Chelsea at the Jjb Stadium, live on Sky Sports Monday Night Football. Manchester City come into the match on the back of a few bad results that include two cup knockouts and disappointing league results and some star players missing that has left Roberto Mancinci calling out for new investment as they head into their best chance to win the Premier League in their history.
For Wigan, they would be desperate for just one or two of Man City’s galatico’s. Roberto Martinez has struggled at home this season where they haven’t won in eight which last week looked even worse when they went to League Two side Swindon and found themselves knocked out of the Fa Cup. Their recent history against Man City has never been pretty either. Man City are looking for »

Remember in those old TV shows when the family would gather around the television for dinner? Well that's how it was in my house growing up. Every night, dinner would be ate in the living room with some show blearing and the kids -- all three of us -- trying not to choke while we either laughed or gasped at what was playing.
We had few traditions in our house, but dinner time TV was one of them. Thursday was reserved for NY Undercover and McDonald's. While everyone else in the world hated Monday's, my brother and I loved them. We had pizza, two wrestling programs, and Monday Night Football. What wasn't to love?
As we grew, we drifted a bit, as brothers do. But we were always home on Monday night to have our pepperoni and bacon pizza and watch grown men in tights beat what little sense they »
