    With SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive, Football Fans Have The Right To Choose SIRIUS Presents NFL Matchups, From the Field To The Radio Booth NEW YORK – September 9, 2004 - Keyshawn Johnson vs. Randy Moss. Chad Pennington vs. Carson Palmer. Myron Cope vs. Greg Papa? While the first two matchups may spark an instant debate among NFL fans this election year, the third is a choice that NFL fans will be presented with for the first time: the opportunity in this democratic society to choose between the home and/or away team's radio broadcasters. SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI), the official Satellite Radio Partner of the NFL, is kicking off SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive , the new programming package that offers listeners a full slate of live radio game broadcasts from around the league each Sunday.

So, fans catching the Giants-Eagles season opener on SIRIUS this weekend can listen to either New York's Bob Papa or Philadelphia's Merrill Reese call the action. This week, SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive will showcase 16 games and 77 announcers. On Sunday at Noon ET, SIRIUS will present its new NFL preview program, The Stadium Tailgate Show .

  • Gorski 1 Why Do You Think Baseball Is Special?
    Interview with Bill Hillgrove 20 October, L994 at $llIAE studios, Pittsburgh, Pa interviewer Martin Gorski Counter 008 M Why do you think baseball is special? H The best way I can describe it, Marty, is that. its the only game that hasn't changed intrinsically, basically since the turn of the century. The angles all work. the distances all work. 50ft. 5in. stil1 works. 90ft. still works. 3 strikes, 4 bal1s. ft works. And so they haven't had to tamper with the basic game. Now, okay, they lazzed the baseball up on occasion. They've come up with the DH, which I don't like. I'm a purist, I'm a National League fan. I grew up that way. I don't like the DH...for a lot of reasons. And..uh..its the game that seems to be in tune with the human mind and the human body, more so than another game. 025 M: So I guess what your trying to say is that baseball is the perfect game? H: WeI1. I wouldn't say its the perfect game. I don't think there's such a thing as a perfect game. But I think its the game that appeals mosL to human beings because t.here is no clock. You know human beings were saddled with the clock. For all of us the clock is t.icking. In baseball it doesn't. So that timelessness adds to the charm and it also presents with it human problems. Many times that last out is the toughest to get.

    LOCAL / NEIGHBORHOODS / EAST Six honored at Allderdice High Hall of Fame's first class: Marty Allen, late Myron Cope, doctor, author, athlete, survivor Thursday, October 08, 2009 By Steve Hecht Even though the induction of Allderdice High School's inaugural Hall of Fame class was two weeks ago, part of that event was completed only yesterday. On a wall outside the school cafeteria, displaying 12-by-15-inch wooden plaques with pictures of the six inductees, a 31/2- by 5-inch plaque went up with the words: "Hall of Fame sign and plaques for 2009 were generously donated by Allderdice classes of January 1957 and June 1957 and January 1958." "It would have been put up the night of the ceremony, but at the last minute I noticed Allderdice was misspelled," said Jeff Rosenthal, 56, Allderdice Alumni Association president. "I didn't put it up then because knowing the expectations of faculty, students and graduates, there would have been far too many inquiries as to why Allderdice was spelled wrong. So we chose to get it corrected." Allderdice's Hall of Fame ceremony, held in the school auditorium Sept. 24 in front of a crowd of about 300, brought some high-profile names to the 82-year-old Squirrel Hill school. The inductees were: comedian Marty Allen (class of 1940); former Olympic track medalist Her- bert Douglas (1940); breast cancer research pioneer Dr. Bernard Fisher (1936); best-selling novelist Iris Ranier Dart (1962); Holocaust survivor Robert Geminder (1953); and the late Myron Cope (1947), sports broadcaster and writer. Among the presenters, sitting on the auditorium stage with the inductees, were Pittsburgh radio and TV personalities Bill Cardille (for Mr.
