Has it really been 56 years since Gloria kicked Felix out of the house? The show premiered in the fall of 1970, thus this would have been set the year before on Nov. 13, 1969.
Narrator: Bill Woodson of “frozen tundra” Ice Bowl fame.

Hey, @wdrbnews.bsky.social. What happened to the first 30 seconds of the 4th quarter? The break after the third quarter lasted 3 min 15 sec. I believe it is supposed to be 2 min 45 sec. There was a station in Pittsburgh that oversold NFL games and paid dearly for it. #karma @nflonfox.bsky.social

You know you are old when you remember TV weather reporters writing backward on glass maps.
Honorable mention goes to those roped lavaliers, which are replicated now by the unsightly fur balls posing as modern microphones.

Semi-retirement. It looks a lot like vacation, except it will be more frequent. ’Til death do us part.

OTD 2️⃣0️⃣ years ago I was there atop the Bank Stand at Flemington where, as the great Greg Miles called it, “a champion becomes a legend.” Makybe Diva’s Melbourne Cup 3️⃣-peat is among the top 1️⃣0️⃣ sports moments I attended.

17 million of us watched 40 years ago tonight when Orson Welles introduced the greatest episode of television ever. Affectionately and enthusiastically I say this episode of ”Moonlighting” was ... behind its time.

Sprained fingers, swollen knee and equilibrium dramas be damned. It’s the final few days of white-wine season. And it’s a gorgeous autumn sunset in The ’Ville.

I just learned of the passing of John Cloghessy, the 1st speaker heard when ESPN Radio launched long form Jan. 4, 1992.
Also on his résumé:
• WFAN 1987-93
• ABC Sports Radio 1993-2017
• SiriusXMSports 2008-16
• Voice of the Iowa Hawkeyes & Seton Hall Pirates
A true pro.
