He was 78. “He leaves behind a legacy of love, inspiration and dedication to over 50 extraordinary years in the sports broadcast industry; and his iconic voice will never be forgotten,” his wife Marcy Gumbel and daughter Michelle Gumbel said in a statement. In March, Gumbel missed his first NCAA Tournament since 1997 due to what he said at the time were family health issues. Gumbel was the studio host for CBS since returning to the network from NBC in 1998. Gumbel signed an extension with CBS last year that allowed him to continue hosting college basketball while stepping back from NFL announcing duties. In 2001, he announced Super Bowl XXXV for CBS, becoming the first Black announcer in the U.S. to call play-by-play of a major sports championship. David Berson, president and CEO of CBS Sports, described Greg Gumbel as breaking barriers and setting standards for others during his years as a voice for fans in sports, including in the NFL and March Madness. “A tremendous broadcaster and gifted storyteller, Greg led one of the most remarkable and groundbreaking sports broadcasting careers of all time,” said Berson. Gumbel had two stints at CBS, leaving the network for NBC when it lost football in 1994 and returning when it regained the contract in 1998. He hosted CBS’ coverage of the 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympics and called Major League Baseball games during its four-year run broadcasting the national pastime. But it was football and basketball where he was best known and made his biggest impact. Gumbel hosted CBS’ NFL studio show, “The NFL Today” from 1990 to 1993 and again in 2004. He also called NFL games as the network’s lead play-by-play announcer from 1998 to 2003, including Super Bowl XXXV and XXXVIII. He returned to the NFL booth in 2005, leaving that role after the 2022 season.
Christopher Nolan’s next film will be a star-studded adaptation of Homer’s ‘The Odyssey’New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Vancouver, Houston, San Francisco, Dallas, Miami, Montreal, Atlanta, Boston, Seattle, Washington D.C., Las Vegas, Denver, San Diego Driving Global Travel Bookings With 543.8 Billion USDYu Miao once owned an independent bookstore in China. While there, he lived in constant fear of the repercussions of harsh regulations and censorship on any store the government did not operate. The story may seem like a plot from a futuristic dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley, but it reflects the daily reality in Communist China, where control prevails. The government suppresses freedom of expression, selling only government-approved books. This environment leaves little room for independent bookstore owners or indie publishers to thrive. Rather than be ruled by fear, censorship, and the possibility of losing his dream forever, Yu made a decision that many other bookstore owners in China have made: he closed his shop moving to a country with more favourable regulations for the industry. He now owns a successful bookstore called “JF Books” in a chic neighbourhood in Washington, D.C., which houses over 10,000 books on many topics. This is a far cry from the small, censored store he operated in Shanghai six years ago. Privately owned chains like the FanDeng and Sisyphe Bookstore are still operating in China, but they do so under the government’s watch and at a high cost, making them less profitable than they should be. Yu’s nightmare may have ended six years ago, but the Chinese’s governments unrelenting political push to silence its people has not diminished. In June, Yuan Di, the owner of “Jiazazhi,” an artistic bookstore in Shanghai, was arrested, and the charges being laid against him are still unclear. The vision of being ripped from your home in the middle of the night and placed in jail for selling books seems like an impossibility, but we live in a place where freedom of expression is a fundamental human right. It is difficult for us to understand this type of political climate. Literature has always significantly affected society, and with great power comes great responsibility because words matter. Authors like George Orwell and Mark Twain have helped shape public opinion and educate society about injustices. Documented history warns us about the dangers of power and control. Without independent authors, we might remain unaware of the struggles faced by people in Africa or South Korea’s role in world peace negotiations. Fortunately, China’s attempt to crack down on independent bookstore owners failed miserably. This effort had a surprising outcome, leading to the growth of a profitable industry in countries like France, Canada, Germany, and the United States, where censorship and regulatory rules are less strict. According to statistics from Google, independent bookstore owners generate incomes of 50 to 100 thousand dollars annually. This has a direct impact on the local economy. This positive outcome for bookstore owners like Yu Miao is a testament to the power of resistance to oppression and the importance of freedom of expression. “Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve a lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.” — Robert F Kennedy.

Oscar-winning director will be taking audiences to mythical Greece with his latest project. Universal Pictures this week that Nolan will be directing a cinematic adaptation of “ ,” an ancient poem believed to be written by Homer between 750 and 650 BCE centering on the character Odysseus’ 10-year trek home after the Trojan War. Nolan’s forthcoming adaptation is described as “a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology,” according to the studio’s announcement posted to their X page Monday. Zendaya, Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson along with Oscar-winners Matt Damon, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway and Charlize Theron are set to star in the film. Holland recently spoke about signing onto the project, saying on last week that the film hasn’t started shooting yet. He added that Nolan only “loosely pitched” it to him when they met to discuss the project, but that he still didn’t know all the details. The “Spider-Man” actor also touched on working with his girlfriend Zendaya, joking that “studios love it” when they’re on the same project because they only have to pay for “one hotel room.” Pattinson, Damon and Hathaway have all previously appeared in Nolan’s films, including “Tenet,” “Interstellar” and “Oppenheimer.” Nolan is also behind epic films including “Inception,” “The Dark Knight,” “Dunkirk” and his most recent film “Oppenheimer,” which scored big at last year’s Oscars when it took home the trophy for best picture. Nolan won that award as a producer, and also took home the Academy Award for best director. According to Universal’s social media announcement this week, “The Odyssey” will bring Homer’s “foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time” and will open in theaters on July 17, 2026.New Chip King in Town?
