Can Crushing Tuesday Edition and a Silver Bullet shameless plug.  Yes, McKayla is still not impressed.  RGIII and Andrew Luck make their NFL Preseason debuts!   RGIII's lightning quick release & Luck looks ready to roll.  The importance of attitude while transitioning to and learning the pro game.  Building continuity into success.  Cultivating leadership and helping a team grow.  Soundboard fails, Tony Bruno respect, quarterback chatter.   Pierre Garçon gets an 8.5 on his TD celebration flip. The replacement refs rock the fail mode in the preseason.  If you can't hack it in the Lingerie Football League, get the hell out of the NFL.  Shannon Eastin gets a shot.  Keeping the NFL from turning into a WWE Cage Match.  The league is screwing around with the integrity of the game and the integrity of the season.  Goodell and the League are supposed to be stewards of this game  the replacement refs are a great disservice to the game, the players, the shield, and the fans (31.47).
