CBS with Howie’s reaction to the news breaking during the game.
“(I’m) still kind of spinning from what was an utterly surreal night on the air — and as well as off,” Rose told Marc Malusis after the game.
Rose and producer Chris Majkowski wanted to hold until the news became official. Mounting chants of “USA!” in the stands made it impossible.
I must have just missed it. I switched to the radio around 9:30 and kinda remember Howie shouting about Young’s 7 strong innings at which point I turned it off. I like my sleep. Stupid Sunday Night Baseball.
I havwe to say, Howie Rose did a great job on the radio last night while broadcasting and informing us of the breaking news re: Osama Bin Laden. Hats off to you Howie!
Fox News is still demanding the long form copy of Osama’s death certificate!
I heard they won’t acknowledge it until they let Glenn Beck poke it with a stick.
Howie’s announcement and description were great (listen here). I got a lump in my throat.
I turned from tbe game as soon asI heard.
You know, I was the first guy on my ship to re-enlist after 9/11, which was my first re-up.
Know what I did this morning?
Re-enlisted again; I tried a speech, since I had connections to the Cole, and I was born in NYC, but I choked up and ended with “we got the bastard”.
