Brian Williams leaves MSNBC

 Sorry to hear about this. I thought Williams did the best show on MSNBC.

Born OTD in 1897, Harvey Hendrick. Gink, as he was known, was a utility man in the big leagues for eleven seasons, including one year with the Cubs-1933. Sad ending for Gink. Just a few years after his playing career ended, he shot himself to death at the age of 43. #everyCubever pic.twitter.com/rUyP5aOnVE

Randy Merkin

Thank you Robert Feder...

Randy Merkin, operations manager and executive producer of Good Karma Brands ESPN sports/talk WMVP 1000-AM, has just released Behind the Glass: Stories from a Sports Radio Producer. (Here is the link.) Published by Rick Kaempfer and David Stern’s Chicago-based Eckhartz Press, the book highlights Merkin’s encounters with athletes, coaches, journalists and celebrities over his three decades in the business. It also offers an inside look at how radio shows are produced and provides expert advice on how to book big-name guests. Merkin, who got his start in radio at Homewood-Flossmoor High School, worked at One-On-One Sports (later known as Sporting News Radio) before joining ESPN 1000 as executive producer of Tom Waddle and Marc Silverman’s midday show in 2007.

The discussion on FOX about the Rodgers situation

Jimmy: "I'm disappointed in his selfish actions."

Howie: "Possibly putting your teammates in jeopardy is selfish."

Terry: "Let me give Rodgers some advice, it be nice if he came to the Navel academy and learn how to be honest." pic.twitter.com/O9rT6kDNXm

Jim Baumann in Elgin

 Thanks to everyone who came out to Elgin on Saturday to meet Eckhartz Press author Jim Baumann (Grammar Moses). Jim sold a lot of books while managing to stay safe and follow protocols. He also had a great time.
