For 30 years, we've been opening doors, opening doors for small businesses and large, opening fully stocked fridges and same-day deliveries, opening birthdays and graduations and new homes and happy tears and new shouldn't-havs, opening ambulances and life-saving support, opening roads that open up cities and countries and continents, opening up the

dealer today. Live this thing is beat. There we go. All right, in today's deep dive, we're going to talk about what makes a good sports rivalry.

But before we get there, number one, why did a shooter target the NFL headquarters last week here in New York?

Two, things continue to get worse for the Dallas Cowboys, America's team.
