Tonight's recommended options (all times EDT):
Baseball
7:00, MASN - Nationals vs. Cardinals. The Nats are 0-1 since Stephen Strasburg hit the DL. We can only infer that this means they will not win another game the rest of this season, or next.
Football
7:30, The CW - New York Giants at Baltimore Ravens. The Redskins got manhandled by the Ravens defense last week. This will be a good chance for us to see how we measure up against the Giants and that bloody Eli Manning.
8:00, CBS - Dallas Cowboys at Houston Texans. Watch and see if the Cowboys can get their second offensive touchdown of the preseason, and then gloat to that Dallas fan who sits in the cubicle next to you about how Larry Johnson was able to score against the Jets' third string defense.
11:00, NFL Network - Seattle Seahawks at Minnesota Vikings. The top players are set to play a bit longer this week, meaning that we'll get to see more of that quarterback. You know, Matt Hasselbeck.
Movies and more
7:00, ABC Family - Love & Basketball. If it stars Omar Epps and is produced by Spike Lee, it's got to be good, right? No? Okay, you're probably onto something there.
8:00, TNT - Forrest Gump. College football. Long-distance running. Ping pong. If you're a sports fan, or just a fan of classicly awesome movies, this one's got it all.
Marathon through 3:00 AM, TLC - LA Ink. No, this has nothing to do with sports. But man is Kat Von D hot.
