He had on murderball which I guess is some sport wheelchair people play.No offense to them. Wow Nancy Grace beats all of CNN and MSNBC without even hitting the 800,000 mark. Pretty sad.

LKL did bad last night because it was more boring than usual…he had some no-names on talking about some low-budget flick which, while its got some buzz, isn’t anything most people know about (or care about). Cover to Cover on CNBC did pretty good last night I noticed.

BTW, I saw “Murderball”. It’s a great documentary. Better than “March Of The Penguins”
