CNN is running a documentary on the Murdoch (newspapers/Fox news) family. They just showed a clip of the former owner of the NY Post, Dorothy Schiff reading a copy of the paper with a huge headline on the back cover "Cousy bows out at the Garden" indicating Cooz was indeed a national super star when he retired, although I couldn't tell if it was referring to his 1963 Celtics retirement or his second retirement.

Bob Ryan penned something today (Paywall, can't read it myself) that suggests naming a road/highway for Bob Cousy/Bill Russell. Given that I can't find a name for it other than Worcester-Providence Highway, what about Route 146  14 and 6, get it. A bona fide road someone will notice is named for someone. |

The RI delegation will want their section of the road named after Ernie D. and Marvin Barnes. |

I was in Scranton over the weekend, a place that I’ve visited frequently over the years. I was surprised to see the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Expressway (formerly Central Scranton Expressway) and Biden Avenue AND Biden Street.
C’mon man!

When you cross into Delaware after being on the NJ Turnpike, you quickly come to the "Joseph BIden Visitors Center". Reminds me of the William J. LePetomane Turnpike in Blazing Saddles.

One of the great movie lines of all-time came from Slim Pickens when the band of desperadoes got to the toll booth: "someone has to go back to town and get a XXXXload of dimes" |
