OK, it’s been more than 24 hours since the latest episode of The Amazing Race signed off. By now, you should now Lake and Michelle from Hattiesburg were philiminated. Cindy and I truly hoped this was a non-elimination leg – but Phil delivered the home team the bad news. When we go to the movies, …

I was busy Thursday — and didn’t get to blog about this. And it’s probably a good thing. Last night, I had this weird dream the third hour of Today was being replaced with Who Wants To Be A Millionaire as Meredith Vieira was coming over from ABC. Seriously, I trust you’re aware as Today …

OK, folks, barring a retraction from McPaper, now you may begin the speculation game… http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-04-04-couric_x.htm?POE=LIFISVA …FWIW, if indeed Katie leaves, I think they’d be wise to promote within (read: Ann Curry, Natalie Morales or the recently married Campbell Brown).

Tip of the cap to Jay Lewis, my buddy in Canada, for creating the “ten years on 104.5FM” open at www.dougmorris.net.

Will she or won’t she be the next anchor of the CBS Evening News? Only Katie Couric knows for sure. My take: I’ll believe it when I see it. But this nonsense… http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6310992.html?display=Breaking …I don’t buy for a minute. For starters, this “industry leader” either didn’t watch or completely forgot the ABC News 20/20 interview …

You there. Want to buy some stuff with my radio station’s logo? And help out one of my co-workers in the process? The 104 Store at www.rock104fm.com store is selling tote bags, sport bottles, note pads and more. This is for the benefit of Stephen St. James. He’s a great guy who taught me a …

An oops award is on its way to Fox Sports Radio for airing this liner voiced by sportscaster James Brown… “Hi, I’m James Brown – and you’re listening to The Drive on Fox with Chris Myers and Brian Cox.” …such a liner was useless for two reasons… 1. Chris and Brian were both away on …

Cindy e-mailed me noting we have a couple to cheer for when The Amazing Race 9 starts… http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race9/bios/lake_michelle/ …I think we can bury the hatchet over “find the Southern colonel” from TAR8, a.k.a. the family edition.
