@LaughlinSXM It’s Mark that calls him Gordie most of the time. If he’s talking about family life he’ll call him dad. Marty always calls him dad though.

The @DetroitRedWings name Head Coach Alex "Fats" Delvecchio as their new GM also (replacing Ned Harkness)
Mike Tirico told me his secret.
It wasn't talent.
It wasn't luck.
It was what he does on every flight home.
A few years ago, I met him at a restaurant bar in Indianapolis during the Big Ten tournament. One of the biggest voices in sports.
He didn't lead with his résumé. He introduced himself. He asked questions. He cared about every person in the room before anyone cared about him.
Eventually, I asked him what made him great.
He said after every game he calls, on the flight home, he pulls up the broadcast and watches it back.
Listens to his own voice. Hunts for the misses. The dead air. The calls he wishes he could have over.
Every game. Twenty-plus years in.
He wasn't born world-class. He worked his way there one flight at a time.
The best in any room are usually the ones still grading themselves the hardest.
World-class isn't a personality.
It's a habit.
In the best hands 🎉

Thelonious Monk didn’t believe in wrong notes
Critics and even fellow musicians often called his playing eccentric or “wrong”
His response was pure Monk: “The piano ain’t got no wrong notes”
He kept playing exactly what he heard — strange, angular, and changed jazz forever.
