With the buzz surrounding the conflict for next Monday night in Denver with Monday Night Raw scheduled to run at the Pepsi Center, where the Nuggets and Lakers scheduled to play Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference Finals at the same time. WWE Chairman Vince McMahon appeared on ESPNEWS to talk about the situation.
Jonathan Coachman conducted the interview with his former boss. Coach mentions that Vince is never one to step down from a fight. Coachman mentions that next week’s Raw at the Pepsi Center was booked in August, but the contract was not signed until April, and as you’ll see, Vince proceeds to talk about the business ethics of Stan Kroenke, saying he had no faith in his team and is now throwing WWE out on their ear.

Tom Brady Outscores ‘High School Musical 2’

Monday night’s game between the undefeated New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens earned stellar numbers for ESPN—and record numbers for cable overall.
The Monday Night Football game drew 17.5 million viewers. This total, just like the score of the game (27-24), narrowly beat the record set by High School Musical 2 for the most-watched cable telecast ever. (The musical’s August premiere rounded up an impressive 17.2 million for The Disney Channel.)
Assuming QB Tom Brady brings his undefeated team all the way to this year’s championship game, we can expect insane viewing numbers and advertising dollars for FOX.
The Super Bowl, featuring Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, is scheduled for Feb. 3rd.
