Summary

This week we speak to Hilary Knight one of the stars of the US Women's National hockey team and Johnette Howard from ESPN about how the US Women's National Team won so much in their recent strike that went right to the brink of the World Championships in Michigan. Also I've got some choice words about "kids today" for basketball coach Frank Martin of the South Carolina Gamecocks. We got a very special Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders themed Just Stand Up and Just Sit Down awards.
