Sad news that Elson Armstrong died last month. Longtime Rec Sports and N.C. Central writer @TheHerald_Sun. He loved Durham (it’s NOT Raleigh-Durham) and weather (pictured with @WRAL’s Greg Fishel at the DAP). Always the first to drive up to Roxboro at the hint of snow! #RIP

Column: Ryne Sandberg left a legacy at Wrigley Field — and the Chicago Cubs and their fans were better for it

While over 11,000 people saw Hogan beat Big John Studd that night, only a couple of thousand returned a month later to see him handle the Macho Man (and physically remove the Beautiful Miss Elizabeth from the fray). #RIP

One of the most electric sports crowds I’ve ever witnessed was the WWF’s debut in Richmond, Va., in January 1986. The Coliseum was packed to the gills to see The Hulkster. (Even local sportscaster Ben “Boom” Hamlin of @12OnYourSide covered the event.) 1/2

A hundred years ago everyone had a horse and only the rich had cars. Now everyone has a car and only the rich have horses. Oh… how the stables have turned.

Art Cashin, @NYSE fixture for decades, dies at age 83. In the intensely competitive world of stock market commentary, he was that rarest of all creatures: a man respected by all. He was a great drinker and a great teller of stories, and a great friend.

A philosophical start to the new year @Walgreens, where it’s turtles all the way down.

Heartbroken. Eric Montross was the nicest, kindest person one could ever know. A great player and champion, husband, father, friend, and a truly wonderful, beautiful soul. RIP Eric Montross.

Suddenly, a spotlight hit the right field bleachers as Mac and Jimmy closed the night with an ode to New Orleans, six days after Katrina. Chills. #JimmyBuffett https://t.co/fWP9XwM6Mt

Labor Day Sunday night 18 years ago was Concert #1 at Wrigley Field (not counting opera in the ’30s). Great vibe in Wrigleyville before the show and a rollicking party once it started. After an encore or two, the stage went dark, but the stadium lights stayed off. (1/2)

Breaking News: Jimmy Buffett, the singer whose brand of escapism on hits like “Margaritaville” made him a latter-day folk hero, died at 76.

In a lucrative poker-playing career that began in the back rooms of Texas bars, Doyle Brunson — a.k.a. Texas Dolly — won back-to-back World Series of Poker titles and wrote a definitive manual on the game. He has died at 89.
