Sports on TV this weekend

It’s finally that time of the week. We can all be thankful for that. Here’s another round of my weekly weekend TV listings. As usual, I’m only listing sports I have at least some interest in (sorry auto racing fans), and all times are Pacific. No, I never watch all of these games, but I make a list like this for myself every weekend anyway, I might as well put it on the blog. For the most part, I rely on the websites of the network in question to be accurate — that’s usually where I get the info from. And national networks only.
