In case you missed it...Saturday Night Live turns 50 this year. I was finally able to sit down and watch the three-plus hour anniversary special (which you can find on the Peacock app)...and as a lifelong fan, can honestly say that I thought it was just good...not great. There were however some great moments....

Just when we were starting to get excited about the Spurs again with the major addition of De’Aaron Fox...today we get a total gut-punch with the news that they are shutting Wembanyama down for the rest of the year due to a blood clot in his shoulder that was discovered upon his return from All-Star-Weekend. Wemby said he had been experiencing symptoms for a few days...but hoped that it would resolve itself with rest following the All-Star Game. The Spurs have said that they will provide updates on his condition when appropriate...but made it clear that he will sit for the remainder of the season.

There is nothing quite like playoff football. You win...you keep playing. You lose...you’re out. One and done. Period. Full stop. No best-of-five or best-of-seven. There’s an urgency to a one-game-do-or-die scenario. It’s like every game is a game is a game seven. With that said...strap in and get ready for one of the best football weekends of the year....starting with the two NCAA games.

As we reflect and give thanks on this Veterans Day to all those who have served in order to protect and defend our great nation...it is a true pleasure to share this rendition of the Star Spangled Banner that was recently recorded by our friends in Trans-Siberian Orchestra. TSO’s Musical Director, Al Pitrelli said, “I grew up in a Military family. Both of my grandparents, my father, and uncles, served. Two of my children are currently serving. The Armed Forces is an important thing in my family, and the TSO family. We always make sure to acknowledge all they do for this country.”

You’ll constantly hear me say that Halloween is one of my absolute favorite days of the year. It’s kina like Rock n Roll...just another excuse to have fun and act younger than your years. Every year at the radio station, we try to come up with different costume themes...sort of like the costume edition of Joe’s Garage. We’ve done everything from Avengers (I went as Fat Thor) to favorite TV show characters...to this year’s theme for my team...”The Village People.” The only character in the group that I could even attempt to pull of was the construction worker. So enjoy this shot of our group that we lovingly referred to as “The Village People...The Later Years.” I’m sure we could all benefit from a trip to the Y.M.C.A.
