That's the word on the street, anyway. I understand "Freestyle" will be replaced by a two hour hockey and lacrosse call-in show called "Brian Williams Don't Live Here Anymore" hosted by "Sounds Like Canada"'s Shelagh Rogers or someone who looks and sounds like her. Then it will be repeated in a …

Some days I realize I don't have to wonder what it was like to keep watch on a ship in the British navy in around 1815. There was a period of about one hour last night when all were snoozing. On the upside, I got to watch Craig Ferguson.  •  Where is Mike "the Sandman" Campbell when you need him …
