Simon Ward was reporting from Murrayfield for talkSPORT (and so Talking Rugby) as well.

Sunday 7th February - BBC Five Live Sports Extra

Superbowl XLIV
New Orleans Saints v Indianapolis Colts - Arlo White and Greg Brady (commentary)


Don't think either Neil Reynolds or Darren Fletcher were involved in FLSE's coverage, although I'm just going by info posted elsewhere as I watched the match on BBC One (with the CBS commentary) and didn't listen, so I stand to be corrected.

IRN

Six Nations Rugby

Are 5 Live covering the Winter Olympics in any way, I know (well, I *think*) Jonathan Overend was there for the opening ceremony, but are they doing anything live within 'Up all night'?

Overend is not out there for the Winter Olympics but Ellie Oldroyd and Vassos Alexander are they were both on 5 Live Sport on Thursday and Friday Night

Is poker a sport? I know a few people who consider it to be a sport these days, so I'll post this in here.

This weekend (Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th February), talkSPORT evening programme The Sports Bar came from The G Casino in Manchester to provide coverage of the PokerStars UK and Ireland Poker Tour. Andy Goldstein and Jason Cundy were presenting on both nights.

I didn't listen TBH although I don't think they did commentary - but nevertheless I thought it was a nice throwback to the first few years of talkSPORT when they would dedicate shows to some of the UK's more obscure sporting pastimes (which I can detail if anyone's interested).

It's not the first time talkSPORT have covered poker, either - way back in November 2000, they provided commentary on the inaugural Poker Million from the Hilton Hotel on the Isle of Man. Graham Beecroft, Derek Thompson and Andrew McKenna were there for talkSPORT then.
