Learned recently that former tailback Milan Williams '09 and quarterback Josh Cohen '09 are both working for CBS Sports.

Cohen is an editorial consultant for NFL and college basketball "providing analysis for production crew and on-air talent." Prior to joining CBS in 2014 he was a production assistant for NFL Films.

Williams joined CBS Sports in 2018 and is currently a sports producer for pregame, halftime and postgame shows for football, soccer and for the past three years for NCAA March Madness.

The entire video is way too long, but if you can't make it back to Hanover for Homecoming this weekend and are feeling a little homesick for Dartmouth and the town, here's a stroll down the west side of Main Street. And if you are really homesick for Hanover, you can go back and watch the whole thing.

Green Alert Take: Still hard to believe the Dartmouth Bookstore is no longer there. :-(

EXTRA POINT

The phone just rang and I didn't answer it. We seldom pick up these days because at least nine times out of 10 it's someone warning us about an extended warranty on our car running out, our computer being infected with a virus or some problem with our medical insurance. None of it is true, of course. On those occasions when I do answer the phone and get one of these people I sometimes ask for their number so I can call them back (surprise - they never give it to me). Or I string them along with a story that becomes more and more outrageous until they hang up. One of my favorites was about all the difficulty I had adjusting to being back on earth after spending so many months in the space shuttle.
