Legendary Cbs Broadcaster Verne Lundquist Has A Soft Spot For Villanova's Jay Wright

... head coach Jay Wright to do well. “I received two phone calls after my last football game, both from college basketball coaches,” Lundquist said at a recent CBS-Turner press event as he sipped a Diet Coke. “One was from Tom Izzo of Michigan State. The other was from Jay Wright.”. Lundquist, who has developed a friendly relationship with Wright over the years, says the Villanova coach just wanted to congratulate him on a career calling football games that goes all the way back to KTBC-TV in his hometown of Austin, Texas, a station that was owned by President Lyndon Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird. It’s not the first phone call Lundquist said he’s received from Villanova’s coach after a broadcast. Back in 2003, Lundquist and his former broadcast partner, Bill Raftery, were tasked with calling a late-season Wildcats game the day after 12 players were suspended after using a university access code to make unauthorized telephone calls. “Villanova lost, as they were ...

Cubs' Jon Lester Working On Fastball Command

... training games in the latter half of March. Protecting starting pitchers by working on the nuances of their repertoire and limiting their workload is in vogue. Case in point: Left-hander Jon Lester threw his 62-pitch session Thursday against Cubs minor leaguers instead of facing an opposing team. The Chicago Cubs like many other teams, now have a different approach to late March spring training games. Protecting starting pitchers and working on nuances of their repertoire, certainly has become more in vogue. So why not have him throw against the Dodgers instead. “The reason it is done is because it’s controllable,” manager Joe Maddon said of the industry trend. “This is purely about getting your work done in a controllable environment. Jon is the type of guy who understands competition in major league ballparks. You don’t worry about that component. This is purely about work. If the guy has a 25-pitch inning, you nod at the other manager. Everybody just changes at that point. This really helps because you do not ...

... said. A look inside the suitcase authorities searched in the Port Authority. (credit: Image via CBS 2). The Port Authority Police Department then started reviewing video from within the bus terminal to determine who left the suitcase behind.

Hamburgled? Mcdonald’s Blames Anti-trump Tweet On Hacker

... in a statement. “We took swift action to secure it, and we apologize this tweet was sent through our corporate Mc Donald’s account.”. The rogue tweet highlights the risks of social media, when high-profile accounts can be either hijacked or sometimes targeted by “trolls,” in social media parlance, who harass the account and its followers. It may be no coincidence that the person behind the anti-Trump tweet turned to Twitter to broadcast his or her message, given that President Donald Trump relies on the social media network to reach out to his 20 million followers. Mr. Trump has tweeted on everything from policy issues to his anger about being satirized on “Saturday Night Live.”. As for the bogus tweet from Mc Donald’s, some fans were lovin’ it on Thursday. “I’ll buy 100 Mc Nuggets right now if you put the tweet back up,” one person wrote on Twitter. Others chimed in, “I’ll throw in another 100” and “I will buy 500 Mc Nuggets and donate them to the homeless.”. While fans of Mr. Trump’s may not have been amused, some experts said the tweet could actually help boost Mc Donald’s standing. That was ...

Usa Gymnastics President Steve Penny Resigns Amid Sex Abuse Scandal

... its timeline last month, indicating it conducted its own investigation during a five-week span before reporting Nassar to the FBI. Nassar is in prison in Michigan, where he worked for decades at Michigan State University before being fired last fall. He faces charges in both the state and federal system. Former Team USA gymnasts are accusing a former team doctor, Lawrence Nassar, of sexual abuse. They say Nassar disguised the abuse as pain treatme. USA Gymnastics hired a former federal prosecutor last fall to conduct an extensive review of the organization’s policies in regards to potential sexual misconduct. The report by Deborah J. Daniels is expected sometime in the spring or early summer. The gregarious Penny - whose booming voice and penchant for wearing eye-catching shoes during big events made him stand out in a sea of gymnasts - has denied any wrongdoing and the USA Gymnastics board of directors had remained supportive throughout the firestorm. ...

Emt Struck, Killed By Own Ambulance In The Bronx

... a parked car on the other side of the street, Wilcox said. The ambulance ended up getting stuck in a snowbank with its tires spinning and smoke coming out. The impact startled residents in their homes. One woman was too shaken to appear on camera. “Just like a boom, and which obviously made us jump to kind of look out and see what was going on,” the woman said. “It was just really crazy.”. The suspect was brought down by a Metropolitan Transportation Authority police K 9 officer who happened to be headed south on White Plains Road at the time, as well as another bystander, officials said. Mayor de Blasio said the MTA officer “intervened heroically and decisively.”. The NYPD said several Good Samaritans in the area rushed in to help, not only to keep the suspect in custody, but also to help the ...

Glenn Beck Defends Muslims In Wake Of New Travel Ban

... War II after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. “ We could head someplace we’ve been before and we don’t want to go again,” he warned. Beck, whose manner is now more soft-spoken than it was in the days when he hosted a daily show on Fox News, also worried about the president’s accusations that his predecessor tapped his phones during the election. Mr. Trump “has access to all the information he would need to prove it or not,” he told Wagner. There’s no reason to create bogeymen, he said, adding that the president “should be quiet” until he comes up with the evidence. This led to an extended plea for a clear and sane look at Trump’s presidency. “We’re losing our faith in everything. It’s concerning to me that we’re now going down this road of ‘deep state.’ We have to logically come together - people on the right and the left that are fair minded - let’s fix reason firmly in her seat and question everything honestly and look at all of it, and disprove this or prove this,” Beck pleaded. “We can’t go another year, let alone another four years with someone claiming that the government is ...

No Indications Of Trump Tower Surveillance Or Wiretapping

... the Senate Intelligence Committee in line with recent statements made by the heads of the House Intelligence Committee and other top Congressional leaders. Both Senate and House Intelligence Committees are leading the congressional investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Earlier Thursday, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., told reporters in a press conference that according to the intelligence committees, “no such wiretap existed.” When asked whether or not he believed Mr. Trump, Ryan responded, “We’ve cleared that up. That - that we’ve seen no evidence of that.”. In a Wednesday evening interview with Fox News, Mr. Trump addressed his wiretapping claims by arguing that his use of the word wiretapping in quotes “really covers surveillance and many other things.”. “I think you’re going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks,” he predicted. Also on Wednesday, the chairman of the House Intelligence ...

Cbs On U-verse Blacked Out In Charleston As 'march Madness' Tips Off

... The timing added to the frustrations. The blackout took effect hours before the opening tip-off of the widely watched NCAA men's basketball tournament on CBS. Raycom-owned WCSC-TV happens to be the local affiliate for the Tiffany Network. Raycom said in a written message  that the "inconvenience to viewers is part of a broader business strategy to convert AT&T U-Verse customers to Direc TV, because a Direc TV subscription is more profitable" for AT&T, which owns both services. The outage stemmed from contract talks over how much the Dallas-based telecommunications giant must pay in "retransmission" fees for the rights to carry Raycom's programming. AT&T blamed the broadcaster for the channel blackout. It said Raycom is seeking "a significant increase" in those fees and is "deliberately preventing WCSC" from being delivered to its U-Verse subscribers. "We have ...
