For many sports fans, the year's shortest month—postfootball, prebaseball—can be the year's longest. This week's fill-in-the-gap programming includes the Winter Gravity Games (NBC, Saturday, 4 p.m. and Sunday, 3 p.m.); the ESPYs from Las Vegas (ESPN, Monday, 8 p.m.); Championship Ballroom Dancing (PBS, Wednesday, 8 p.m.); and the Winter Goodwill Games from Lake Placid (TNT, Thursday and Friday, 8 p.m.)....Everybody loves Raymond? Not as much as they used to after seeing CBS shamelessly overexpose its sitcom star, Ray Romano, on Sunday at Pebble Beach. Watching and listening to Romano pathetically flail away made us appreciate Bill Murray all the more.
