Is this The New Parenting Style? (video)
I started my program today with the following topic: Should this father (Philip Struthers) be charged, as he was, for felony child abuse (he also was charged with a misdemeanor for contributing to the delinquency of a child) relative to what transpired in the video between his son (Jake) and another boy? The overwhelming majority of [...]
Metrodome Roof on Injured Reserved List (video)
Will this help or hinder the Vikings getting a new stadium in Minneapolis? The actual collaps looks and sounds like something out of a movie. photo credit on features page: andylangager
My Play of the Year in Any Sport at Any Level (video)
Whoever thought this up deserves major credit not only for the play itself, but the fact the entire team sold it so brilliantly. It’s hard to believe this is a middle school team. Their poise and acting ability are remarkable.
“The Human Voice” from Studs Terkel and StoryCorps (video)
I’ve been a fan of Studs Terkel for as long as I can remember. This essay is yet another that is so uniquely Studs. The video comes from the talented and very cool folks at StoryCorps.
Language, Kinetic Typography and Stephen Fry (video)
An essay on language by the wonderfully skilled orator Stephen Fry. Placed within kinetic typography, it leaps off the page audibly and visually. This comes from Rogers Creations. photo credit on features page: Chris JL
The Best Sideline Report Ever (video)
This sideline reporter for Fox Sports is the all-time leader in the clubhouse for honesty and making the best of what could have been an embarrassing, job-ending moment. Instead, you can’t help but love this guy. photo credit for stadium on home page featured post: rc!
A Look Back: The Lane Kiffin to USC Pre-Press Conference Fiasco (video)
As college football approaches, let’s take one more look at the pre-press conference where Lane Kiffin announces he’s leaving the University of Tennessee for USC. Quite honestly this little fiasco, moderated by UT Sports Information Director Bud Ford and orchestrated by Kiffin, remains a study in what often happens behind the scenes before the actual news conference rolls for [...]
Suzette: Killer Beta Fish (video)
Suzette has garnered quite a bit of attention since she arrived at the Gabriel household. Las Vegas has the over / under on her at 17 days. As of today, it’s Day 12. I’m starting to think she’ll make the over, but her continued fascination with her filter may change the course of her young [...]
Backup Dancers or Low Impact Aerobics? (video)
The Ronettes are one of my all-time favorite groups. Their hit, Be My Baby, is a classic. But this video of the song - check out the backup “dancers” up on the risers. It looks like they’re doing old Up with People choreography. photo credit for Ronettes on home page featured post: The Best of the [...]
Can an Ad for Diapers Be Offensive? (video)
Is the controversy with this ad, highlighted by both the New York Times and Newsweek, much ado about nothing? You make the call:
The Coop at The CG Program Wisconsin Office (video)
You never really know what’s going to happen – or what you’ll see – at the Wisconsin officies of The CG Program.
Could You Make This Shot? (video)
At the recent Idaho – Utah State basketball game in Logan (Utah), Idaho center Marvin Jefferson stepped to the free throw line for two shots. As is the case in college basketball, the crowd behind the basket – in this case, part of the Utah State student section – was doing everything they could to distract [...]
Where Do Lost Balloons Go? (video)
Have you ever wondered where lost balloons go? They float up, up and away from us… we watch them as long as we can and then… where? Where do they end up? Now we know.
Oberg Farms: Innocent Farming or Something Else? (videos)
This past week I had the opportunity to learn about sugar beet farming, courtesy of a couple of great guys, Ernie Oberg and his son Brian. Oberg Farms is a thriving business based in Moorhead (Minn.) but it’s hardly limited to sugar beets. Potatoes, corn, wheat and soybeans round out a family-run business that’s been around for generations. It [...]
Riding a B-25 Above the Fargo-Moorhead Area (videos)
Today I was given the rare privilege of taking a ride in the North American B-25J “Mitchell.” It was on April 18, 1942 that 16 of the medium range bombers known as B-25B’s joined World War II when they launched from the deck of the USS Hornet in the Pacific Ocean and bombed mainland Japan. This was the famed Doolittle [...]
The Favre Factor on WDAY (video)
I was on the air this morning when the biggest announcement in the history of the world came through our newsroom. It aired on ESPN, the BBC…even a baby yak that speaks English helped Sherpas in Nepal understand the significance of the moment: Brett Favre is back and he signed with the Minnesota Vikings. After [...]
The Christopher Gabriel Program: Shooting High at WDAY (video)
I thought it might be nice to take a moment to reflect on the direction and goals for my new radio program at AM 970 WDAY in Fargo (ND).

It’s Dark. It’s Late. It’s Quiet. Why? (video)
It was dark. It was late. Nobody was out. It was quiet. Too quiet? Maybe. But I needed to know: Why was it so quiet? Why wasn’t anyone out. I knew why it was dark. Because it was late. When it’s late . . . it’s dark. I could have been a detective. My [...]
Eye on Monday: Sneak-a-Peek Cell Phone Technique (video)
I was speaking with a friend the other day about people and their cell phones. Namely, how folks can be in mid-sentence with you, stop abruptly, check their cell for a new text message and then continue talking as if nothing happened. Or, worse, they’ll actually interrupt you to read a text, then send a reply [...]
Eye on Monday: Greek Easter Can Be Dangerous (video)
As any of you who come to Blog Harbor on a regular basis know, I’m Greek. Greek, as in Greek Orthodox. And while I always celebrate Easter on it’s traditional day, Orthodox Easter follows the Julian Calendar which means, more often than not, Greek Easter is after Passover. So, two Easter dinners. Greek People: It’s [...]
Eye on Monday: The Hunt for the Egg (video)
This site has been offering columns worthy of the Pulitzer Prize in Commentary since November 11, 2oo7. That’s 11-11 in the event you’re scoring at home. Most recently, audio satires arrived in the form of The Farmland Almanac with Harrison Beillor and the Gabriel Theatre on the Air. Today brings a new day for both this website and Eye [...]
