• Normally we wouldn’t cover Affleck’s doings this much in depth, but with things being rather slow lately, here’s another dose of the guy’s appearances lately. With “Sum of All Fears” as a potential franchise for him as years go on, we’re sure that a nice opening take for the film is very important when it opens this Friday. So, go see it!

• First, what we got the most notes about — Affleck made an appearace on last night’s Boston Red Sox game broadcast, where he sat in the booth helping out with the last 4 innings of their game vs. the Blue Jays. FOX 25 even had him reading the advertisments. When he read the advert for Dunkin Donuts he adlibbed a line about it being the official coffee of Sean McDonough and Jery Remy (the Red Sox play by play guys). Sean told him to stop adlibbing, to which Affleck responded “Yeah, I get that a lot.” Folks who caught the game, which was in Toronto, say Affleck did a damn fine job, too.
• Affleck is scheduled to appear on Charlie Rose tomorrow. Check your local listings for time and channel.
• Ben will also be appearing on ‘Unscripted’ with Chris Connelly. Good stuff for all the sportsaskewers. According to espn.com, the showtimes are: Thursday, May 30th at 5 PM EST (ESPN); 2:30 AM EST (ESPN2).
• And, here’s a summary of a few more:Tuesday the 28th – Live with Regis and Kelly (syndicated)
  Tuesday the 28th – TRL (MTV)
  Thursday the 30th – On the Record with Bob Costas (HBO)
  Friday the 31st – The View (ABC)
