Hello and welcome.

It's our number one, hour number one of our radio program.

And the big news out of the Pro Bowl,

not about the game itself,

but instead about running back Alvin Kamara,

who played in the game only to be arrested on a felony battery charge after the game had ended.

He left the stadium and he ended up going to a detention center in Vegas.

So how much trouble is Alvin Kamara in a thorough look based on a limited number of facts right now in our number one?

Here it is.

Push that back a little bit till later in the hour,

but we did lose one of our radio friends.

We did.

I get tremendous feedback all of a sudden in my headphones.

So our lead this hour coming from the Justice Files

of the Ben Mallor show.

It was Pro Bowl weekend in the NFL.

Did you watch?

Check it out.

The All-Star game played on Sunday afternoon in Sin City.

We'll talk about the game itself more later.
