We start with NBC's disappointing coverage of this week’s Sunday Night Football game and the handling of the weather delay. We criticize the lack of preparation by sports broadcasters, and compare past incidents like the 2013 Super Bowl blackout. This then leads into the debate on the current state of NFL commentators as a whole. Who do we like? Who do we not like? What is the impact of star commentators like Tony Romo and Tom Brady? We finish our football talk discussing the insertion of ads into the NFL Red Zone.

We highlight IMBDs list of their 250 user rated shows. Specifically, we compare this list to shows that have never won an Emmy. Which shows from the list never won the coveted award? We then get into the discussion of businesses ( namely subscription services) offering better deals to new customers/subscribers than current customers/subscribers? Is this right? What do businesses operate this way?

THEN: BRITISH CORNER: Rhea reviews season 2 of ‘The Marlow Murder Club’ on PBS. Having previously reviewed season 1, what made her come back for season 2? How does Rhea feel this season compares to the last?

Angelo and Jay finish the show by giving their thoughts on the season finale of ‘Dexter Resurrection’, 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox' (both on Hulu) and the book ‘All About Me!: My Remarkable Life in Show Business’ showcasing behind the scenes stories and thoughts about the career of Mel Brooks.
