Triborough & RFK Bridge update

The RFK Bridge was closed late Wednesday evening after an abandoned U-Haul truck sparked alarm. Formerly known as the Triborough Bridge, police were alerted to the scene after a toll booth operated noticed a man in dark clothing running from the vehicle, leaving it abandoned. The toll booth operator investigated the scene and moved in towards the truck.

The closer he got to the vehicle, the stronger he could smell gasoline. Growing concerned he contacted authorities.

As a precaution, police closed the RFK Bridge in both directions for several hours. The truck was thoroughly checked by the bomb squad, including the use of x-ray technology to scan the vehicle. The bomb squad deemed the vehicle safe. The truck is was moved and the bridge was reopened.

RFK Bridge Closed by Abandoned UHaul Truck! Less than a week after the car bombing attempt in Times Square, the RFK bridge that connects Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx is closed because of an abandoned UHaul with Arizona plates. The abandoned vehicle smells of gasoline, and Hazmat and Police are assessing the details.

Many in New York are concerned. After all, there was a bombing attempt this weekend. A Nissan Pathfinder with an amateurish bomb was found and taken away from the area before anything could happen.

Not much information is available about the RFK Bridge closure, but we will keep you informed of the situation.

More details to come.

Ernie Harwell story to music

Longtime umpire Joe West paid tribute to legendary broadcaster Ernie Harwell in the most heartfelt way he knows how: The "Cowboy" wrote Ernie a song.

West, known as Cowboy Joe for his love of country music and the fact that he's released several albums, co-wrote "A Tribute to Ernie Harwell" with Bill Slayback and Fred Rodgers and sang the song, which tracks the life and times of Harwell, who passed away Tuesday at the age of 92, while tracing his own upbringing in North Carolina with parents who fell in love with baseball through Harwell's broadcasts.

"When the Dodgers were in Brooklyn and the little boys dreamed," West sings, "Ernie Harwell told their story long before the TV screens. Mom and Dad watched the radio as if they could see a ballpark in their minds where the grass was always green."

Ernie Harwell died Tuesday night, ending his battle with cancer at the age of 92, but his voice and spirit will live on forever in the ears and minds of many.

Tears were shed in the press box at Joe Louis Arena while the Red Wings were playing the San Jose Sharks when the news spread. As cynical and callous as reporters can be, this story was tough to treat as it was just another death because Harwell treated anyone he ever met like a friend.

Yours truly was one of the lucky ones.

I'll miss Harwell's greeting "HELLO! Larry!" on the phone and in person and hearing him say "Phi Alpha!" in a nod to our brotherhood in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

My first vivid memory of Harwell other than listening to him call Detroit Tigers games on the radio growing up in Ann Arbor, Mich. was during the mid-1990s at Tiger Stadium.

Today For HARRY CONNICK "Idol" Spotlight

CBS) Lee DeWyze and Michael Lynche may have delivered the two best performances of the night, but it was singer Harry Connick Jr. who stole the lime light and won the judges over on Tuesday night's episode of "American Idol."

As this week's celebrity mentor, Connick schooled the top five contestants on the music of Frank Sinatra. He arranged all the song choices, wrote the orchestrations, and even sat in on the piano accompanying each contestant.


His moral support helped elevate painter Lee DeWyze to a new competitive level. The two got along exceptionally well during their practice session, which gave DeWyze the confidence boost he needed to shine.

"He looks like a new and improved version of me," said Connick, after noting that his wife is a big fan of the young singer.

Shane Mosley hasn’t fought in more than 15 months. But when he steps into the ring Saturday night against Floyd Mayweather at MGM Grand Garden Arena, he effectively will do so after the longest training camp of his career.

Mosley was scheduled to fight Andre Berto in January when talks for a Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight fell apart.

Shortly thereafter, Berto withdrew from the fight with Mosley, citing personal distractions after the earthquake disaster in his native Haiti.
