With Huckabee Show, a Talk Radio Face-Off - NYTimes.com - Brian Stelter - Mr. John Hogan (Clear Channel) said he welcomed Mr. Huckabee “because we think competition makes people better.” - Mr. Hogan said the recent moves by Cumulus were a reflection of “what we’ve thought for a long time, which is that radio is a great business.” Audio will be just one type of content for these businesses; Web and video will be others, and live events still another.

Dog eats owner's Masters tickets - Yardbarker -So he did what any golf fan would do: He poured Hydrogen peroxide -- it's safe for animals to ingest -- into his dog's mouth and waited for the remains of the tickets to come back up. They did. Along with a bunch of other things. But wait, there's more! Berkman not only went through the puke to find the pieces of the tickets, he also took the time to piece the tickets (or what was left of them) together, in one final attempt to keep the trip alive.

Men in Black - NYTimes.com - Maureen Dowd - This court, cosseted behind white marble pillars, out of reach of TV, accountable to no one once they give the last word, is well on its way to becoming one of the most divisive in modern American history. It has squandered even the semi-illusion that it is the unbiased, honest guardian of the Constitution. It is run by hacks dressed up in black robes.

CBS Sports Jim Nantz from the Madness to the Masters in the Same Week | Bleacher Report - James Williams - As for Nantz this will be his 27th year as part of the Masters broadcast team. But it will be his 25th year as the host making this his Silver Anniversary broadcast. So talking to Nantz the other day via phone he was more than happy to talk about his favorite week of the year. JW: What is this week like for you? Nantz: "This is the best week of my year. Really to have the honor to broadcast the Final Four on Saturday then to do the Final on Monday night is amazing. After the broadcast we head to hotel get a good night’s sleep and off we go to Augusta where we get ready for all the history that is the Masters. I am truly a very lucky man.”
