Brian Williams on bleeding Giant blue & whether...
Bob Costas: Right now I'm joined by the anchor of the NBC Nightly News Brian Williams...a jersey boy, a jersey beneath the jacket, we can assume your rooting interest.
Brian Williams: It also looks like Jon Voight playing an American president, what a half-principle owner, anyway, Bob, in our business I think you're allowed to have a team. Presidents have got to be impartial, I think TV news guys, journalists, you're allowed to have a team. My birth certificate says New Jersey, I grew up in the shadow stadium, my family bleeds Giant blue, but I'm from a broken home, my father's from Farmingham, Massachussetts --
Costas: So that should cover you in the Boston market.
Williams: I love Mr. Kraft, love the Boston area --
Costas: Otherwise I'm thinking Diane Sawyer and Scott Pelley are thinking, yes, we make inroads now in Boston!
Williams: I'd like to know what their teams are. Pelley's probably Cowboys or Texans, cause he's a Texan.
Costas: Could very well be.

But one that has not is my appreciation for the art of the mix CD. I realize the romance of labor has dissipated a little with changing technology since tapes etc etc… But if you’re making a mix for someone you care about at all it still takes days, weeks, months to make it work- you need the right balance of highs and lows, the right peppering of familiar and newly discovered, and the...

The country will have a chance to see Southern civility on display next September, when Charlotte, N.C., hosts the Democratic National Convention.
Life in Charlotte is not as pleasant as it once was. Like many other American cities, it has its share of road rage and...
