Nancy Grace Is Disgusting!

- Before we get to John, because he wasn't quite ready yet, we talk about the Pat Sajek. He thought that a contestant who was engaged was engaged to a woman, but the contestant was gay.

- Bill goes off about Nancy Grace. He calls her disgusting and convicts people no matter what.

- She recently interviewed the father of a missing child and grills him for 3 minutes. The show got a report before the talked to him about the fact that his son was found alive in the basement and she left out the fact that he was alive. It gets worse.

- The concussion issue is big now and we discuss with Mr. Kelso the lawsuits against the NFL.

- We talk to him about the Romanowski mindset of playing through the pain.

- Is the NFL going in the right directions with new rules?
