R.I.P. to espn's John Saunders I heard this earlier this morning. Surprising and sad. RIP. Seemed like a nice guy; liked him moderating the SPorts Reporters.

In other reporting news this morning, FOX is releasing Tony Siragusa from his sideline analyst position during NFL games. Too bad - I liked The Goose. "Funny you should say that" That's a movie line from The Goose... can you think of the film? 25th hour?

I forgot about Marty Glickman he was good. There was a bar near Madison square garden. When I worked in the garment district I used to see him in there. Foots, wasn't there some controversy with Glickman when he was not allowed to participate in the Berlin Olympics during Hitler's reign because he was Jewish? marty was a great sprinter, tremendous athlete. loved his voice, great announcer. yes, foots probably knows the answer.

Joe Tait was the Cavs radio broadcaster from 1970 to 2010. He was awesome. He had a wry sense of humor and some memorable sayings. When they would not break away during a timeout, Tait would say "We've paid the rent and we'll keep it right here." Or when there was a whistle on a debatable call he would say "now what?" Regarding the midwest region, Bob Uecker still does Brewers home games on radio. When I was growing up, Johnny Bench hosted a weekly tv show for kids called "Baseball Bunch." Uecker was either a co-host or a regular. He was great. During the '95 playoffs, Uecker was the color man on NBC with Bob Costas. At Costas' request, Uecker delievered his classic Major League line "juuuuuuuust a bit outside."

My "Old Man Crush", Al Michaels will be hosting BOTH Sunday AND Thursday Night Football. Meow. It's the "do you believe in miracles" line, isn't it?
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
