Go Green On NBC. Sigh

Did anyone out there catch the halftime report on NBC during the Redskins-Dallas game? Bubblehead Meredith provided possibly one of the most irresponsible climate change reports of all time.

PDS At CBS Sportsline

They just. Can’t. Let. It. Go. With apologies to Tennessee, the Titans aren’t the best team in football. Who cares if they’re undefeated?
