Programming Note
Team handball gets major exposure this weekend with two games on television. The US Men’s National Team plays the national club champions from Los Angeles at Noon Saturday from Chicago, followed by “The Battle of Chicago” as the national teams of Germany and Poland go at it in a rematch of the 2007 World Championship match.
You can watch both matches live on Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic (channel 642 on DirecTV, 424 on DISH) and on tape delay Sunday on Comcast SportsNet Chicago, with other tape-delayed broadcasts to be shown on a variety of Comcast and Comcast-affiliated networks over the next couple of weeks. Check your local listings.
John Ryan, editor of Team Handball News, will be my partner for the broadcast of the USA/Los Angeles match. I’m still waiting to hear which former German international will be my partner on the second match (which will also be shown live in Germany at 8pm on Sport 1, and, hopefully, in Poland on PolSat.)
I’m still relatively new to the sport, but trust me: it’s a lot of fun to watch. Give it a tumble.

So I’m watching some Team Handball on Comcast Sports Net-Chicago tonight, and 9 clock minutes into the broadcast (I believe the score is 1-1), your voice goes out, a few seconds of action with no sound, and then, get this, QVC comes on the channel. I’ve been watching someone sell Denim & Co. essentials Stretch 1/4 sleeve crew neck top, item number A-91599, for about four minutes now.
QVC price is only $18. If I buy more than one, additional ones are only $15.

Literally seconds after I hit submit, I found Team Handball on the QVC channel on my cable. I’ve missed three goals…
