Hard to believe that a Major League sport could sink so low on so many levels in its showcase event. If the #NBA had a Commissioner it might have headed off last nights embarrassment.

I've been fascinated by this sign ever since I saw it on TV as a kid. I always thought it was right behind the Green Monster and I was shocked when I finally visited the park in person how far away it actually is from the park. That's one seriously big sign!

News: The Citgo Sign is being moved.

It will go dark for at least 6 months as crews prepare to move it 120 feet east and 30 feet upward from its current location.

It is unclear how this will impact its view from Fenway Park.

@raford3 I'm old enough to remember him on @Braves baseball and also heard him do some @BrooklynNets NBA hoops. I think he did hockey in New York too. A great listen.

Waiting for the post-game analysis from X-ers who trashed the @DetroitPistons in the first half. #game7

Not much going right for the @Mets these days

The US Olympic figure skating team threw the first pitch at the Mets game today and it did not seem to go as planned

Day 4: kitkats held hostage.

[Jennifer 🟥🔴🧙‍♀️🦉🐈‍⬛ 🦖 @babybeginner]

Some days you can’t love social media enough. This is one of those days. It began like this. Someone stole 12 tons of KitKats.

And then the replies started coming in. Scroll down.

Talk about a classic Friday news dump!

A second memo from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski says CBS News Radio is shutting down. Here's the memo:

Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026.

Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated.  We understand how difficult this news is for our staff and their colleagues, who have worked side by side with us to cover some of the most significant stories of our time.

While this was a necessary decision, it was not an easy one.  A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service.  We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service’s conclusion.

For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation—from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates.  Our signature broadcast, “World News Roundup,” remains the longest-running newscast in the country.  CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927.

The coming weeks will be difficult for the team members who have worked tirelessly at CBS News Radio.  We are committed to supporting these valued colleagues with care and respect as we wind down operations.  They have been critical to our success and remain treasured friends and professionals.  We thank them deeply for their contributions.

Thank you all for your dedication and for the compassion you show one another as we move forward.

Bari and Tom

They're going to do it. You know they are. It's destined.

WXSP TV daily promotes Judge Judy
"Weekdays at 5pm" when they actually run fools on "Family Feud". Details matter. I'm telling Judy.

It's time to end ALL All star games.
