FDH Lounge Show #119: October 13, 2010

By Rick Morris

We’ve got another huge night of variety ahead for you on THE FDH LOUNGE (Wednesdays, 7-10 PM EDT on SportsTalkNetwork.com).

Once we come on the air in our new temporary perch at The Promenade at Harpo’s, we get going immediately with The Opening Statements of The FDH Lounge Dignitaries and our look at This Week in The FDH Lounge and then by turning again to a favorite web destination of ours. Unfortunately, ThisIsWhyYoureFat.com is no more, but ThisIsWhyYoureHuge.com has picked up the slack and then some. We’ll go through some meals that could kill you in a single setting and see if anything actually sounds digestible.

At the bottom of the first hour, Ken Palmer of The Giants Beat comes on to talk about the Big Apple’s “other” hugely talented and volatile squad. Additionally, he covers the New Jersey Devils for their arena program and he is also a big fan of the Phillies and Penn State football and we’ll hit those as well.

At the top of Hour Two, it’s the return of THE GOON SQUAD! Our hockey “show-within-a-show” is now a recurring feature as opposed to an every-week segment, but we’ll be covering the great cold-weather sport heavily this winter and we start out with a great roundtable to preview the 2010-11 season. Jan Levine of HockeyBuzz and Keith Korneluk of KingsCast will be on with us. Also, don’t forget our fantasy – and non-fantasy – guide FANTASY HOCKEY DRAFTOLOGY 2010, the only publication you need to be up to speed this year.

From there, a big-time past guest, Episode #65 and Episode #99’s Kenny Albert will be back on to discuss his work broadcasting Rangers and Knicks games in New York, Olympic hockey for the NBC networks, college hoops for ESPN Plus and NFL and MLB for Fox Sports. He’s seen some great NFL action lately and we’ll be talking about everything he sees from his unique perch in American sports.

At the top of HOUR THREE, The FDH Lounge Pigskin Report dissects last weekend’s Alabama upset and previews the first BCS Standings of the season and a big slate of Saturday games – to say nothing of breaking down what the shocking slate of outcomes last Sunday bodes for the NFL season.

Then, THE FANTASY DRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER closes out the show with our big NFL Week 6 preview. As always, you should be using our FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFTOLOGY 2010 as your guide through the season, along with our weekly fantasy newsletter at The FantasyDrafthelp.com Blog – which, during the football season, has your list of which players to start each week.

As always, we urge you to watch the show live (or listen if you’re on dial-up), but if you can’t catch this as it’s happening, you can always catch the FDH archives 24-7 right here or catch us on iTunes. Also, you can sample THE FDH LOUNGE VAULT, a compilation of our best interviews and roundtables, now every weeknight from 6-7 PM, also on SportsTalkNetwork.com.
