Friday media column first take

Topics on the table for tomorrow's weekly media column:
==NBC and its family of cable channels and websites has plans for 3,600 hours of Beijing Olympics. How much will you watch?
==Fox drags its equipment to Yankee Stadium for Tuesday's All-Star Game ... will Madonna sing the national anthem?
==HBO has plans for a documentary on the rise of black football players in the South following the 1970 USC-Alabama game orchestrated by John McKay and Bear Bryant.

And some other notes that won't fit, could have been included in the weekly Friday media blog of notes, but are worth tossing out early since you've been so kind:

==The NFL Network replays that L.A. Raiders/Bo Jackson 37-14 Monday Night Football victory over the Seattle Seahawks/Brian Bosworth from 1987 on Monday (5 p.m.), Tuesday (9:30 a.m.) and next Saturday (5 p.m.) More background on the game at this link.

==The Tennis Channel's new documentary series, "Best of 5," takes a look at the top temper tantrums to ever occur on the tennis court. The show (Sunday, 4 and 7 p.m.) has decided that the top five meldowns are: 5) Martina Hingis at the 1999 French Open; 4) Illie Nastase at the 1979 U.S. Open; 3) John McEnroe at the 1984 Stockholm final; 2) McEnroe at the 1987 U.S. Open (with his famous "you cannot be serious!" scream) and 1) Jeff Tarango at the 1995 Wimbledon, where he called head umpire Bruno Rebeuh "corrupt" and marched off the court, and his wife later slapped the umpire.

==Be warned: Rapper Nelly will appear on ESPN2's "First Take" on Monday to debate with Skip Bayless on the "First & 10" segment.
