Well, Bill is done, except he's just beginning. Will his podcast be even bigger now? More interesting is will the old folks stay to watch Tucker?

Emmys week, or should we say it's Week Two of the NFL Sunday Night Football ... and some antiquated show with funny statues that no one is watching. Don't worry. Tom and Jeff watched for you, and they have plenty of take aways. Speaking of taking, Netflix appears to be taking all of the...
