Fifty years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank on Lake Superior, killing all 29 crew members.
Here in Wisconsin, many have personal connections to the ship or may even know someone who died, including someone in our WKOW extended family. wkow.com/news/fifty-years-la…

He was teammates w/Warren Spahn, who debuted in 1941 for the Boston Braves. He called a Jackson Chourio triple in the 9th tonight. Chourio may play until 2041. 100 years of baseball & he’s the common link. A privilege to be able to call him my friend & partner. #UeckerForever

The #Badgers, who are staying in lower Manhattan, are stuck in traffic en route to Brooklyn for their media availability/open practice. Greg Gard has experience in this type of situation after growing up in Cobb.

So glad we have Twitter hoops Xs & Os. So much goes into the game that isn’t just “get buckets”. Most possessions are won by execution and proper spacing. – at Greenwich, London
Yeah- a minnow slipped away and grew into a tiger musky! One heck of a fish, eh?!? – at Wisconsin, USA

Golf Channel just opened its coverage with Brad Faxon sharing a story/dig about the current state of pro golf:
“My rookie year, I played with Arnold [Palmer] at the Players. My final round, it was such a thrill to get paired with him, to get called out on the 1st tee with him.
"Walking off the 1st green, he said to me, ‘Do you want to have a long career out here, son?’ He put his arm around me. I said ‘Yes, sir.’ He goes, ‘Then you look people in the eye when you walk off the tee. You look them right in the eye.’ I’ll never forget that. He goes, ‘They’re the reason why you have a job.’ Boy could we use that now.”

Best part of naming anything after a great person. It won't be long when people will not know who he was...so they will ask? Who was Howard Moore?...and it will give all the people who are asked...a chance to speak about his greatness AND that will go on forever. FOREVER. As it should be.
