Wow, what a saga. First he retires, then he gets the itch to come back, tries to reunite with the Packers and the Pack trades him to the Jets. At WDAM, we weren’t following a story. We were following a soap opera. So was the rest of the media in Green Bay and nationwide. Trust …

Heh, I Wish!
Even I could use a light-hearted post here. So here goes. More than two dozen people are slated to be honored with stars on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame next year. Check out the story here. As much as I’d like to take credit for one of those stars, the Doug Morris they’re referring to here …
Tim Russert: 1950-2008
In what’s become a ritual this election year, I, as producer of WDAM’s 5:00 p.m. newscast, take a feed from the NBC News Channel’s Washington D.C. office (for the record, “NBC News Channel” is the name of a feed service; not to be confused with MSNBC or CNBC) every weekday at 2:30 p.m. Usually, Steve …
Another Road Trip To Ohio
As noted on DougMorris.net, I’m taking some time off to commemorate what would’ve been a third wedding anniversary with Cindy. Geof and I are meeting up in Jackson, Tennessee – where we’ll take Mom up to Kentucky to spend the night. Then, roughly 48 hours in the Lima, Ohio area – including a visit to …
Godspeed, Dr. Kaul
Although I didn’t have him for a journalism class in my days at Southern Miss, I knew of Dr. Art Kaul. I would really get to know Dr. Kaul better through dating, and later marrying, Cindy. Long after I graduated and entered “the real world”, I can remember a time Dr. Kaul called me at …
Carpe Diem, Bob
As a widower who’s still a bit fragile after suddenly losing Cindy, I’ve been at a loss for words when I heard a radio colleague died this week. Bob Chambers died Tuesday – an otherwise joyous day, the 13th anniversary of Rock 104. April 1st also marked my 12th year of association with Rock 104. …
Falling From Grace
Goodness knows there’s a lot I could say, even joke about, regarding the call-girl scandal that resulted in today’s resignation of New York’s Governor Eliot Spitzer. Instead, I’ll keep my remarks brief and to the point. Frankly, Governor Spitzer should’ve resigned moments after the news broke. Instead, he waits ‘til today. My sincere hope is …
An Open Letter To Cindy Morris
Dearest Cindy, It’s hard to believe today marks the second Valentine’s Day since you left this earth. How I wish you were still here. How I wish we could be building a family we often talked about during our brief marriage. There’ve been many sleepless nights since that second week of 2007. I’ve sometimes found …
One Year Later
If you’ve followed my blogs, you’ll realize this week is one I’ve dreaded. Tuesday will mark a full year since Cindy suffered her first seizure. Thursday will mark a full year since she died from this sudden, unexpected illness.
Ohio State 14, State Up North 3
Somewhere in Heaven, Cynthia Deann Morris has a big smile on her face. Ohio’s motto tells us, “With God, all things are possible.†Therefore, I don’t think I’m going out on too much of a limb when I say I truly believe Cindy has met Woody Hayes sometime this year. And, even though he coached …
