I want to hit you with a little bit of sports news because it’s probably going to be at the top of many different news angles today. Deshaun Watson, a quarterback now for the Cleveland Browns, formerly of the Houston Texans, before that played college football at Clemson, he has been suspended, he has agreed alongside of the NFL to a suspension of 11 games and a fine of $5 million, one of the largest suspensions and fines that has ever existed in the history of the NFL.

Buck, he was accused by 30 different women of sexual impropriety related to massages perform some of those women filed civil lawsuits, which has since been settled. No criminal charges were ever brought, but he has now been traded to the Cleveland Browns. He will be eligible to play after an 11-game suspension, that news coming down right about time we started the show today.
