«Caro Cuore matto, tu sei stato il mio idolo» «Quella volata in cui persi non volevo rivederla più» Secondo all’arrivo Ero solo in testa, toccavo il traguardo con le mani, ma volevo vedere dietro che cosa facevano  Due auto mi ostruivano la visuale e mi sono spostato in mezzo al vento Con le biglie al mare In spiaggia da solo facevo la pista e cercavo di farti vincere.  Però ogni tanto fermavo la tua biglia per due o tre tiri,  perché come nella realtà aveva problemi cardiaci... L’amore per la Juventus Io e mia moglie eravamo all’heysel, i biglietti ce li aveva procurati Merckx.  All’ingresso mi hanno tolto una bottiglietta d’acqua, poi ho visto gli inglesi con le casse di birra 27 Jan 2025 Corriere della Sera Dal nostro inviato a Empoli Roberto De Ponti Gigio Bellandi aveva 12 anni nel 1972.

25 Jan 2025 - Il Fatto Quotidiano Pino Corrias © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA Dopo 62 anni - Da Oswald alla CIA fino a Cosa Nostra: tra 15 giorni svelate le carte delle indagini sull’omicidio del secolo L’America viene dal sangue. Qualche volta dal nero inchiostro dei suoi misteri. Il prototipo di quella oscurità ha il sorriso luminoso di John Fitzgerald Kennedy seduto sul sedile di dietro dell’auto presidenziale che si volta, alza la mano e saluta la folla un istante prima che la Storia gli precipiti addosso, prendendosi una scheggia della sua testa, lo spavento di milioni di cuori, trasformando in cenere un’epoca intera che ancora oggi chiamiamo kennediana . Sono le 12:30 in punto del 22 novembre 1963 quando la nera Lincoln Continental X100 decapottabile scende lungo Elm Street e i tre colpi di fucile irrompono sul cielo blu di Dallas.

What am I going to do today?’ I’m 90 years old, and I come downstairs and I get my manila pad out, and I have a list of all the things I’m going to do today. Then, at night, I have a list of which games I’m going to watch. Then, during the games, I’m going to pick out certain things I’m interested in. It’s always the love of the game for me.” On Christmas Day at Madison Square Garden, where 37 years earlier he walked the sidelines as the head coach of the New York Knicks , there was Brown, sitting next to play-by-play partner Dave Pasch, doing what he has done every year for ESPN/ABC since 2004: educating an NBA audience via his staccato deliv...

ESPN President Burke Magnus revealed the news Thursday while on the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast with Jimmy Traina. “We are going to give Hubie one last shot on a game ,” Magnus said. “ He deserves that . We think the world of him. I think it is absolutely remarkable the level in which he still calls games at age 90-plus. I don’t mean to be purposely mysterious here but we are going to honor Hubie during the regular season at some point to be determined and send him off in style.” ESPN declined additional comment Thursday to The Athletic . Brown is not scheduled to call any games but industry sources said he will be assigned one last game this season. The date of the assignment has not been formalized yet. Brown is expected to partner with longtime ESPN/ABC play-b...

27 Jan 2025 - Alo! PIŠE: EKIPA ALO! Posle SP 1978. imao je ponudu Bostona, ali nije otišao jer bi to značilo da je pobegao iz države, a verujem da bi bez problema igrao s profesionalcima, kaže Željko Jerkov  Prostor bivše velike Jugoslavije, danas popularno rečeno region, s tugom u glasu priča o smrti asa koji je harao ispod koševa od Ljubljane do Beograda. Kasnije i duž Apenina, a ponajviše u plavom dresu. Dražen Praja Dalipagić (1951-2025), član obe Kuće slavnih - NBA lige i FIBA, obeležio je istoriju košarkaške reprezentacije Jugoslavije s kojom je osvojio 12 medalja na tri najveća svetska takmičenja. Njen je najbolji strelac svih vremena s 3.700 (po nekim izvorima 3.131). Željko Jerkov (72), čuveni centar Jugoplastike, s ponosom ističe da je zajedno s Dalipagićem ušao u reprezentaciju 1973. - Kasnije smo se družili i u Italiji kad je igrao kod Pere Skansija, s kojim je bio prijatelj jer su njihove supruge zajedno išle u srednju školu u Splitu. Praja je došao u reprezentaciju mi...

https://vault.si.com/vault/1982/05/24/this-coach-is-bleeping-good PROFANE HUBIE BROWN CAME OVER CLEAN AND SWEET ON BASKETBALL TELECASTS ALEXANDER WOLFF SPORTS ILLUSTRATED -  MAY 24, 1982 TABLE OF CONTENTS ORIGINAL LAYOUT Hubie Brown drew a slew of technicals, rushed refs, berated players and cursed out management during his seven seasons as a pro basketball coach. He was probably the most indecent decent coach to win an ABA championship and an NBA Coach of the Year award , and he'll resume that career this week if he signs with the New York Knicks. Knowledgeable? No question. A communicator? He has added a new dimension to the word . Nevertheless, anyone who was within earshot while he coached the Kentucky Colonels or the Atlanta Hawks might be pardoned for flinching at the thought of Hubie Brown as a TV color commentator. But in a sport so fast-paced that it's hard to get an analytical word in edgewise, Brown's work for CBS and the cable USA Network this season has been s...
