I was trying to post links last night and was making really good progress when, you guessed it, I fell asleep with the computer on again. That’s not good. So I’ll combine the full set of links that I found last night with this edition so you have a pretty good set of stories to […]

My plans to provide a full set of linkage got shot to hell when the car I was riding in got stuck in a snow bank during the ice storm in RI on Wednesday. So I spent three hours trying to get the vehicle out. Eventually, I got AAA to pull it out, but also […]

Last release I’ll provide tonight. Westwood One Radio has provided the announcers for the NFC and AFC Championship Games for Sunday.

This month, Westwood One Radio will premiere a new service for its member stations. This will provide sports stories as well as audio sound bites.
