Bob Murphy passes on to a greater place.: Talk of a true Iron Man...broadcasting games for the Mets since the NL returned to NYC in '62, up through the end of the 2003 season. Quite sad he did not get to enjoy far more of his retirement. I don't think I overstate the case by saying that true baseball fans everywhere will miss him.

F1's most famous privateer passes on.: Rob Walker, probably my favorite Road & Track writer (next to Peter Egan), and the most successful private-entry Formula One owner ever, passed away yesterday. (Better article on formula1.com also available.) For those of us who follow F1, a great bit of history -- and underdog success -- has now been lost to us.

The drought's over!: USA wins silver & bronze in the 4-man bobsled. Maybe NASCAR is good for something after all.
