Still Time to Turn on the Lights

Football may be over, but not to fear. Time to your attention to something more constructive or at least change the channel. Tonight, after the Valentine's Day festivities have died down, consider this triple threat of quality television for the casual sports fan.

At 8, over on NBC, check out Friday Night Lights. Forget about Heroes, Lights is the best new show of the season. Ratings have been underwhelming, but now is as good a time as any to start watching. If you haven’t seen it, time to see what you are missing. This show deserves a larger audience and second season in the fall.

At 9, head over to ESPN and catch Duke at Boston College. Last year’s game was wild with Duke blowing a huge lead only to hold on at the end thanks to a controversial no call. BC is looking to avenge a loss in Durham earlier this season while Duke needs a win in the worst way.

Then beginning at 10:30 a little NBA for you Knicks and Warriors fans out there (I know there are still some left). New York completes their three game West Coast road trip at Golden State as both teams look to head into the All-Star beak on a positive note. The Knicks are coming off a wild one point victory last night against the Lakers while the Warriors have lost 3 of 4. The game can be seen on MSG in the northeast.
