James Garner, born on this day in 1928, with Al Unser and Parnelli Jones at the track after Unser's first Indy win for Parnelli's team in 1970.
The great @IMS historian Donald Davidson reckoned Garner attended over 30 Indy 500 races.

Slight change to the #Detroit skyline. The GM sign at the top of the Ren Cen is gone, replaced with a #Marriott logo now on the digital signs. GM moved to the new Hudson's development earlier this year. Listen to AM 950 here audacy.com/stations/wwjne…

Column: It’s a good thing Indiana is now a football school. Otherwise, this Final Four would be excruciating.

Minnesota Twins. I saw him play when his average was above .400.

This player is a tough one. Which team do you associate Rod Carew with?

“The Bears have never had a great quarterback,” Colin Cowherd in The Herd with Colin Cowherd. Use Google to research Sid Luckman. Yes, it was a long time ago but Luckman was a pivotal NFL figure.

WRTV’s new owner promised more local news. It FIRED the staff.
Blame the federal government for giving it a pass to VIOLATE an ANTIMONOPOLY rule & claiming it would serve the public interest.
Mass layoffs and news monopolies are NEVER in the public interest.

I never thought I’d see this.

Did you ever think you’d see this in the Memorial Stadium parking lot? #iufb

@SHUNCK A certain racing website fell for the “Kia is going to be an open-wheel engine supplier” gag. I think it was in 1990s.

Hey #IndyCar fans - please remember tomorrow is April Fools Day & you shouldn't always believe all you read on the internet..
Kia will not be an engine supplier in 2028
Marlboro is not returning
NASCAR is not buying Long Beach
IndyCar is not abolishing pit lane speed limits

@farhip I found the 1956 video. The CBS newsmen were not the Mystery Guests but the panel was still blindfolded YouTube.com/watch?v=7HWKhQ…

@farhip In 1956, after he left CBS to be head of ABC News, What’s My Line aired from Chicago because of one of the political conventions. The Mystery Guest were about a half-dozen CBS newsmen. One of them (it may have been Robert Trout) joked they were going to kidnap Daly.

@BillKoenig Yes! He had quite a career. Broke a number of important stories (including FDR’s death and that one, which might be the biggest story of the century). Hired Howard Cosell at ABC. And hosted “What’s My Line?” for about 107 years..

End of an era, end of a century. CBS News’ radio essentially invented American broadcast journalism—its style, objectivity, ethics, etc. Edward R. Murrow from the rooftops of London during the Blitz, yes, but a long line of legends, too: William L. Shirer…more

A second memo from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski says CBS News Radio is shutting down. Here's the memo: Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026. Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated. We understand how difficult this news is for our staff and their colleagues, who have worked side by side with us to cover some of the most significant stories of our time. While this was a necessary decision, it was not an easy one. A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service. We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service’s conclusion. For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation—from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates. Our signature broadcast, “World News Roundup,” remains the longest-running newscast in the country. CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927. The coming weeks will be difficult for the team members who have worked tirelessly at CBS News Radio. We are committed to supporting these valued colleagues with care and respect as we wind down operations. They have been critical to our success and remain treasured friends and professionals. We thank them deeply for their contributions. Thank you all for your dedication and for the compassion you show one another as we move forward. Bari and Tom

Douglas Edwards, Walter Cronkite and later Charles Osgood and Dan Rather, among many others, came from there, informing millions.
A tragic loss. RIP. I’m sure podcasters and influencers will be a great substitute….
