Mike Tirico was in Louisville calling the Kentucky Derby for NBC, then went right to Cleveland to call a Game 7 classic between the Cavs and Raptors.

@BNBuzz - Come on Barnes & Noble! You need to give your stores appropriate resources so customers want to come! The store today doesn’t have what they need from you! 😡

With deep sorrow, we say farewell to one of the final sentinels of the Tuskegee Airmen. George E. Hardy, who once danced across the skies of Europe in his Mustang has taken his final flight at the age of 100. Leaving behind a legacy forged in courage, resilience, and unwavering dignity. It began in a quiet room in Philadelphia. A 16-year-old boy hunched over his homework as the radio crackled with the news of Pearl Harbor. In that instant, the world fractured, and George’s childhood evaporated. He didn't wait for history to call; he went to meet it. Denied entry because of the color of his skin, he didn't retreat. He leaned into the wind. He joined the U.S. Army Air Forces, arriving at Tuskegee not just to learn the mechanics of flight, but to dismantle the mechanics of prejudice. By 19, George was a "Red Tail," a guardian of the clouds. While the world below was segregated, the flak in the European theater was indifferent. He flew 21 combat missions over Nazi-occupied territory, a teenager in a cockpit proving that valor has no pedigree. Most men would have seen enough of war. George was not most men. - World War II: 21 combat missions in the P-51 Mustang. - Korea: 45 combat missions, braving the dawn of the jet age. - Vietnam: 70 combat missions, a veteran hand guiding a new generation. For nearly thirty years, he wore the uniform of a country that didn't always love him back, yet he protected it with a devotion that shames the very idea of hate. When he finally climbed out of the cockpit, he didn't stop serving. As a Lieutenant Colonel, he helped architect the military’s first global communication systems. He spent his sunset years ensuring that those who followed him would never be out of reach, never be truly alone in the dark. "He rose above the clouds so we could finally see the light." Today, we don't just salute a pilot. We salute a man who endured the sting of Jim Crow to earn the silver wings of a hero. He was the quiet defiance in the face of "no," the steady hand in the cockpit, and the humble heart in the room. The "Red Tails" are thinning now, their formation heading into the eternal sunset. But as George E. Hardy crosses the ultimate horizon, he leaves behind a legacy etched not in ink, but in the very air we breathe. Rest well, Colonel. The watch is ours. The sky is yours.

Just an incredible flex.

Goodbye March Madness bracket, hello Indy 500! A crew is almost done with the 110th Indy 500 logo on the side of the JW Marriott. @ACwishtv @AngelaMoryanTV @ADChernoff

One high-major head coach to me: “This has become a joke. We got guys who averaged 3 points a game asking for a million dollars. It’s completely out of control.”

You know you live in a busy sports city when they can’t even get the last logo down before they start putting the new one up!

@AmericanAir Yes, @AmericanAir. That's the number I tried. Is there an online chat service or could you help me through here?

@robertson_will Uh oh! We're sorry to hear you're having trouble getting onto our team. You can also try reaching out to them via our online platform, at connectaa.co/pay.

@AmericanAir - I need help with some missing airline miles and the automated service doesnt work when I can the 1-800 Number. So Frustrating! 😡

@MarriottBonvoy - I must give a special shoutout to Markus who works the late night shift at the Courtyard by Marriott Tulsa Central. He helped me last month of when I ran into issues caused by airline travel. I was thankful he provided help to me in the middle of the night!!

And with that, the College Basketball Season and the NCAA Tournament has concluded. Only one way to finish the season - with a Confetti Snow Angel!

While I wish another team would have brought home the Trophy, Congratulations to the Michigan Wolverines on winning the National Championship and bringing this trophy back home to Ann Arbor!

ONE SHINING MOMENT 🙌 #MarchMadness

The 2026 NCAA Men’s National Championship Game. UConn vs. Michigan. Winner wins the National Title.
