OK, let’s get the obvious out of the way. To use an oft quoted line from a local dentist who competed on The Amazing Race, “Dagnabbit!” Certainly, this is not the way the Southern Miss baseball team wanted to end a storybook postseason – with two consecutive losses and eventual elimination from the College World …

What Might Have Been
On this May 28th, if Cindy were still with us, we’d be celebrating our fourth wedding anniversary today. Instead, it’s a commemoration at best. This is a good time to note what I say to my radio audience near the end of every RockTrax show. I’ve said this every week since her untimely passing. “Make …
Sorry, I Can’t Do Anything About The Fly In Your Soup
I’ve always wanted to do this: Be a celebrity waiter at Chesterfield’s for the annual Waiting For A Cure Foundation fundraiser. Here’s why: Close relatives and friends have fought the battle against breast cancer -– and won. Waiting For A Cure helps meet the needs of local breast cancer patients, survivors and their families. Please …

Brett Retires — Again
Well, I hate to — oh, wait, this just in. Brett Favre’s coming out of retirement to play for Ottawa’s expansion team in the Canadian Football League. Just kidding. In any event, I hate to say I told you so — but I told you so. When Brett switched jerseys, I predicted the New York …

The program has been a statewide and regional program for decades — and it recently went national thanks to FamilyNet. Doug’s Place Flashback: …
Congrats, Obama (even if I voted for McCain)
I’m not a political junkie and Doug Morris dot org hasn’t necessarily been a haven for political blogging. Well, save for the times I followed this gadfly’s runs for office… …and you don’t need a political science degree to understand why his runs for seats in the legislature and Hattiesburg’s city council ended in epic …

Brett Favre and the Jets
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 …
