Father time isn't rootin' for Putin

from The Mid-Morning Mike Check

How badly are things going for Russia in Ukraine? Their once-mighty military is being brought to its knees, and Putin is running out of time. Team USA takes the pitch again tonight in what is a World Cup rarity: a (relatively) meaningless match. So what can we expect? How do you stay hidden when you're eleven feet tall? Good question, but Gracie the giraffe is pulling it off. John Liddle tells us what's going on Around Town this weekend.
