After the Reds suspended Thom Brennaman in August for a homophobic slur during a TV game, Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larking offered his services to Reds COO Phil Castelinni. I told him I d be willing to help, if he needed me to do so, Larkin told reporters during a Reds video conference Tuesday announcing he will join Fox Sports Ohio s Reds TV team this year. Castellini told me, Not now, but maybe. And I didn t know what that meant at the time, but now I know what that means.
Larkin, former Reds team captain, says he will be color analyst for all 81 home games with John Sadak, the new play-by-play TV voice. Sadak was hired Feb. 4 to replace Brennaman, who resigned in September.

On Sunday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers drubbed the Philadelphia 76ers in their rock and roll inspired attire to the tune of 118-94. Once again, the SexLand tandem (officially adopted by Larry Nance Jr.) dazzled and combined for 36 points and 10 assists. Joining them in a strong effort was Andre Drummond - who finished the night with 24 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Unfortunately, Cleveland also lost Kevin Love to his nagging calf injury and Isaac Okoro was also sidelined due to a foot sprain.

The Cavs finish up the preseason tonight at 7:30 p.m. as they take on the New York Knicks at the Garden. The Cavs will look to split this mini preseason series with a win tonight and finish 3-1 overall.
How to watch:
Projected starters:
The Cavs starting lineup has been unpredictable so far. They’ve taken a cautious approach this preseason and we’ve yet to see the full, projected starting lineup on the court together. I would guess that we see most of them play tonight since it’s the final tune-up before the regular season, but then again we don’t know. At the very least we know for sure that we won’t be seeing Kevin Porter Jr., Larry Nance Jr., and Matthew Dellevadova as they did not make the trip to New York.
