Jay Mohr, comedian and sports fan, will be providing twenty-minute video segments for FoxSports.com this month. The series, called The Alternative With Jay Mohr, will mix remote segments, monologues and comedic sketches. Mohr will also pen a weekly column for the sports site.
Sports fans shouldn't be too surprised to see Mohr in this capacity. The comedian/actor, who currently appears on CBS' Ghost Whisperer, hasn't exactly hidden his love of sports, having appeared as a guest host on Jim Rome's Sirius Satellite Radio program, not to mention frequent appearances on The Best Damn Sports Show Period and NFL Sunday Morning.
The purpose of these new Web shows is to focus more on entertainment and less on bland, straightforward analysis. I wouldn't be surprised if some folks like myself who are fans of Mohr's but not necessarily sports fans might also tune in if the segments are funny enough.

I definitely think that is a mistake. But I got excited and googled it. Turns out not to be true.
