7:02 am
to see that storm that left all of that snow. you can see the nor'easter just coming in. the clouds on the right there and see the comma that that big old storm moving through at night, so a beautiful image from there. not so beautiful on the ground. i know a lot people from new london, connecticut, we've got video of them, too. nashua, new hampshire, more than two feet of snow. so many places still doing this today and unfortunately that's right, robin, we have more coming. freezing rain advisories, hundreds of schools closed back in the great lakes. columbus, right now, ohio, getting into it. cleveland, too, but look at the winter weather advisories going through new england and maine. that is where the heaviest snow is going to fall tonight through early tomorrow. for new york, for boston, it will be much lighter but just a little icing on the cake that nobody really is looking forward to. and it's turning colder too. i can promise you this, it is going to be frigid by the weekend. it'll feel subzero in so many places here along the northeast. so things are not warming up. >> we'll have january weather. okay, ginger, thanks very much.
7:03 am
we're going to move now to that terror deadline expiring this morning. isis threatening to kill more hostages if a failed female suicide bomber is not released. brian ross is here with the latest as the drama unfolds. good morning. >> good morning. the sun has set over iraq. deadline set for isis for a prisoner swap. according to message read in english by the japanese journalist and posted online overnight. isis says this 44-year-old convicted terrorist, sajida al rishawi, must be turned over by deadline or the captured jordanian air force pilot will be executed. >> if sajida al rishawi is not ready for exchange for my life at the turkish border, the jordanian pilot will be killed immediately. >> reporter: if the swap goes through, authorities say a dedicated al qaeda terrorist with close ties to the leaders of isis will be set free. authorities say she was a fanatical killer taking part in a 2005 attack in which 60 people were killed, many of them
7:04 am
attending a muslim wedding. authorities fear she will emerge as a terror role model. >> it may lead women who are inspired by her to want to emulate not being a wife, or a caregiver but an actual martyr. >> reporter: the decision by the king of jordan to negotiate with isis came despite u.s. opposition to any deals with the terrorists. >> we don't give concessions to other -- to terrorist organizations. >> reporter: although the u.s. did carry out a prisoner swap with the taliban last year to get the release of american sergeant bowe bergdahl. >> the u.s. doesn't make concessions to terrorists except occasionally when it does. >> jordan has said it will not deliver the woman unless the terrorists first provide proof that the captured jordanian pilot is alive and unharmed and so far there's been no such proof with the deadline looming. >> no actual promise from isis to release him even if the trade starts to -- >> exactly, it's very unclear at
7:05 am
this point. >> thanks very much. all right, george, now to the latest on the airasia flight 8501 disaster. the lead investigator reportedly saying the less experienced co-pilot was at the controls when the jet started its dangerously fast climb. abc's david kerley is in washington and has been following the story from the very beginning. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin, so this morning we know the co-pilot was at the controls when this airasia jet started climbing dramatically but then stalled. but the indonesians are still not telling us, was this pilot error only or was there something wrong with the airbus jet? pulled from the wreckage, the black boxes show that the co-pilot remi emmanuel plesel was flying the jet, when it encountered the severe weather, # not the pilot, who had ten times the amount of flying time. 20,000 hours versus 2200 hours. >> should be able to trust your co-pilots. with 2200, that's a good numbers of hours, he should have been fully qualified and perfectly capable of navigating even through storms.
7:06 am
>> reporter: the co-pilot at the controls, when the jet climbed dramatically, three times the normal rate, moving from 32,000 feet to 37,000 feet in just 30 seconds but the jet lost lift. its forward speed stalled falling to the ocean. >> there's no reason in the world unless something was mechanically wrong that this crew should not have been able to recover from a stall. it is not a catastrophic incident. >> reporter: the indonesians say the cockpit voice recorder shows alarms were going off in the cockpit, including the one telling the pilots the jet was stalling, something like this. >> stalled, stalled. >> reporter: one report this morning says it is believed the pilot did take over during the wild climb and descent. the indonesians say they have a pretty clear picture of what happened to the jet and have provided a 30-day report but they are not making it public. so they have a pretty clear picture but we don't. this morning we don't know was this only pilot error or did something go wrong with the jet that contributed to the crash? something that could be fixed in the other 4,000 airbus a320s which are flying around the world today, george. >> so more questions to be answered.
7:07 am
okay, david, thanks very much. we're counting down to the super bowl now. more security than ever this year. the latest technology is being deployed to counter possible attacks amid heightened concern about threats from isis, al qaeda and the lone wolves they inspire. abc's pierre thomas is in phoenix with the latest. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. the super bowl is supposed to be about fun and games but law enforcement is planning for every nightmare scenario. those horrific attacks in france are very much on the mind of authorities protecting this year's super bowl as thousands of fans pour in. in an exclusive interview inside the stadium, the homeland security secretary warned of a new stage in the fight against terrorism. >> more lone wolf-style attacks. more smaller scale attacks. our challenges in homeland security are evolving. we have more concerns about domestic-based acts of violence. >> reporter: and while he says there are no specific credible threats against this weekend's game, they're prepared to respond by any means necessary.
7:08 am
this u.s. customs black hawk helicopter part of a fleet of aircraft guarding the super bowl from above. 30 miles of airspace around the big game is restricted. so, if an aircraft comes too close it's a job for this crew and others to escort it out. also in the air fighter jets just like the one i flew in last year's super bowl in new york. to be blunt, if they do not respond, they will use missiles to shoot them down. law enforcement is now deploying the latest in technology, high-tech scanners to search every item coming into the stadium. what are you looking for? >> we're looking for any weapons, bombs, weapons of mass destruction. >> reporter: katy perry's costume, everything gets checked out. >> her stage came in last night and we have the port-a-potties and the nfl paraphernalia, jerseys, everything. >> reporter: for the first time we see what the scanner reveals the operator is using x-rays to
7:09 am
see everything. look there, he's able to zero in and do close-ups hunting for any anomaly anomaly. officers will be wearing portable radiation detectors and there will be bomb-sniffing dogs. bottom line, police are taking no chances so everyone can have fun. robin. >> every precaution. all right, pierre, thank you. now to a major development in the investigation into that deadly fire at a maryland mansion. a faulty electrical outlet sparked the blaze which was fueled by a dry christmas tree. abc's bazi kanani has the latest and joins us this morning from annapolis. good morning, bazi. >> reporter: good morning, robin. out here we see christmas decorations still up at the gates of the decimated estate. this morning the grieving family of the children say they hope their immense loss will raise awareness about fire safety and remind us all to cherish our loved ones. this morning, alarming new details about what sparked the devastating fire at this 16,000-square-foot maryland
7:10 am
mansion killing tech executive don and sandy pyle and their four grandkids. investigators telling abc news it started with a faulty electrical outlet on the floor right by a 15-foot christmas tree. >> there was combustible material that was on top of the outlet so the tree was connected to the outlet. >> reporter: that christmas tree drying out 60 days after it was cut igniting the inferno in the great room. the family sleeping in rooms nearby. >> the fuel load from the christmas tree itself is what created the significant amount of fire and heat. >> reporter: as demonstrated in this fire research video, flames racing through lofty open rooms means plenty of oxygen to fuel the blaze, a growing danger and in modern-style homes. in this case, plush furnishings and ornate rugs also proving hazardous. there were smoke alarms in the mansion, but even if the victims
7:11 am
heard them, there was little time to escape. >> the chain of events occurred within two to three minutes. >> reporter: there are about 230 christmas tree house fires each year and they are often deadly. the medical examiner has not yet determined the cause of death for the six fire victims but fire experts say most house fires victims die of smoke inhalation and they say that's one of the reasons we should close bedroom doors when we sleep at night to block out some of the smoke in a fire emergency. robin. >> all right, bazi, thank you. there are no words. now to amy with this morning's other top developing stories. good morning, amy. good morning, everyone. we begin with new concerns about the measles outbreak out west. authorities in arizona are monitoring 1,000 people who may have been exposed including 200 children who have been to an urgent care center in the phoenix area which an infected woman recently visited. so far 95 cases confirmed across these 8 states and mexico, most
7:12 am
of them in california linked to a disneyland visitor. most of those infected were not vaccinated. dr. richard besser joins us at 8:00 a.m. with more on this outbreak. the supreme court has halted three executions in oklahoma because of questions about a drug used in the procedure. among the death row inmates temporarily spared, richard glossip who was scheduled to die tonight. critics claim the sedative used by oklahoma and other states during lethal injections is cruel and inhumane. federal reserve policymakers say the economy is growing at a solid pace but they will not raise interest rates until at least the middle of this year. the likelihood of that rate increase triggered a sell-off on wall street wednesday. a reminder this morning that millions of americans are not benefiting from the growing economy. new figures show one out of every five children in the u.s. now depends on food stamps, that is nearly twice as many children as before the recession. mitt romney last night called for a national war on poverty while speaking to students in mississippi.
7:13 am
he did not say whether he is running for president again but he took time to accuse hillary clinton of being, quote, clueless on job growth and foreign policy. well, an arsonist is on the loose near miami after he was caught on camera setting a truck on fire. you can see him pouring liquid just moments before that pickup explodes in flames. he then jumps into a getaway van. a car belonging to the owner of that truck was set on fire just last year. well, finally, they say a bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work but not if it turns out like this. take a look as this ice fisherman in russia hooks a fish, he reels it in, he gets it out of the water and he tries to get the hook out but he can't so he puts the fish down to go get something. the fish waits till the man leaves, look at that, and then gets into the hole. but guess what, he takes the fishing pole with him. so that fisherman will not be catching any more fish for the day.
7:14 am
oh, a little too late. he runs out to get it and it goes woop, right down the hole. smart fish. >> strong fish. >> amy, thanks. we're going to move now to a wave of smash-and-grab robberies in dallas where thieves are ramming vehicles into stores making off with atms. abc's ryan owens has more on the new steps police are taking to stop these criminals. >> reporter: scenes like this playing out coast to coast, thieves smashing through stores trying to grab the atm. here in dallas it's happened 20 times this month. they hit this nail salon last week. >> this car came back and forth at least seven times at very high speed. >> reporter: dallas business owners have had enough. so have police. they're forming a special task force to deal with the recent rash of smash and grabs. >> a lot of these stores are small convenience stores. they're individual owners trying to run a business. >> reporter: police suspect the bandits might be part of an organized ring because the smash and grabs have all happened
7:15 am
between 3:00 and 5:00 in the morning targeting smaller atms that only weigh a couple hundred pounds and the thieves are gone within 90 seconds. one more thing they all have in common -- they're almost always caught on tape but here's the problem. all of these thieves are wearing hoods and they're driving stolen vehicles, which they almost always ditch. bandits across the country have a similar m.o. in the last week they have hit from portland to des moines to detroit where these two wrap a chain around an atm and make off with 4 grand. in tampa, seconds after this suv smashes through the window the thieves have what they came for. in dallas the suspects haven't been so lucky making off with just two of the atms they targeted. but police worry with a crime this violent it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. for "good morning america," ryan owens, abc news, dallas. >> and they're going to keep going after them because some of these atms can have about $20,000 in them. >> they need gps trackers on those machines and then maybe they'd be able to find the
7:16 am
criminals. >> that's a good idea. >> that's a great idea. >> okay. >> consultant company right there. >> always doing business. >> always doing business. you know, one of the images that's been going viral from the massive snowstorm was this guy shoveling the finish line of the boston marathon. the mystery of who he is has been solved and this morning, he's telling us why he did it. it's the good deed dominating headlines. a single person captured on camera clearing a boston street during tuesday's storm but take a closer look. they're not just shoveling any old road but a special part of the city, the boston marathon's finish line. the photos instantly going viral. but the good snow-maritan's identity a mystery. the city police department even tweeting help boston solve a blizzard of 2015 mystery. #whoshoveledthefinishline. the so-called boston shoveler coming forward.
7:17 am
>> it's a strip of paint in the road but to me it means so much more and i didn't want it to be covered by all the snow. >> reporter: 25-year-old chris laudani, a bartender and five-time boston marathoner said he believes this finish line is hallowed ground. >> it's the greatest place on earth and you would never know it just walking by it. it says finish, boston marathon but for the people in the race and that live nearby it's so much more than that. >> reporter: the organizers of the marathon, commending laudani, telling abc news his actions are yet another statement as to what our event means not only to runners but also to americans. >> this is more about the message. we all love the marathon and we all love the city so that's really what it's about. >> well done. >> yeah. it is a strong message that they're sending. >> i don't think anybody is going to run the marathon in this weather but nice to see it. >> so symbolic. boston strong. >> and you need those things when something like that happen. >> absolutely. >> you're heading to arizona.
7:18 am
you're heading to arizona. >> can i come? >> for the super bowl. >> anybody? >> wait till you see the weather. >> so what is the weather going to be like there? >> amy has been looking at her phone every day going, oh, no, oh, no, rain, 60s, yes, amy, the rain is coming and look it's all fueled by this tropical moisture. fortunately, the rain is coming for tomorrow into friday and then things start to dry out so by the super bowl, it will be much drier. can't promise you extreme warmth or anything, but, hey, we'll take what we can get. and then snow up in the higher elevations above 8,000 feet. you could see 8 plus inches and this morning in frosty florida, frosty, yes, 31, gainesville, 33, jacksonville and pretty cool elsewhere. 33 for atlanta. your local weather forecast 30 seconds away.

but also taking notice was the insurance company that just two years earlier had paid him $175,000 in workers' compensation based on an 89% disability rating. >> going on "survivor," brian, that's a lot to deal with and the insurer is upset about it. >> reporter: and now culpepper, number 77 wants a ferocious defensive lineman in the nfl is being sued accused of fraud and deceit. >> turn on any game. it's a violent game. >> reporter: but culpepper is fighting back showing us x-rays and a fat file of medical reports that he says document his many injuries and impairments. >> i'm in pain and i -- i'm in pain every day but this is not a sympathy story. >> reporter: on the tape of that show you're very very active. >> i absolutely was. >> reporter: on suv culpepper repeatedly dives into the water, but the lawsuit says culpepper reported quite a bit of difficulty getting into or out
7:43 am
of the bath and performing heavy activities around his home. >> if you have a hard time getting in or out of a bath how are you able to dive into the water like that in "survivor"? >> you keep asking me this. i was on pain medication and i had back procedure right before that. >> reporter: culpepper is also seen hefting big crates but according to the lawsuit, he claims he can lift and carry heavy objects only if they are conveniently positioned. >> how many times are you going to -- because i'm on pain medication. >> reporter: then a clearly frustrated culpepper decided it was time for the tv interview version of a blitz tearing off his coat and tie and shirt and stripping down to his undershirt. this is a normal bicep. okay. how does that one look? okay. is that normal? that's not, okay. that causes me pain, okay there's people that miss an entire season because of a torn bicep. do you see this ac joint. that's bone. that's my clavicle okay.
7:44 am
it's not over here. it's here. that's permanent. >> reporter: the ultimate proof, he says that he is not a fraud. as the lawsuit and the front page headlines alleged. >> this i worked way too hard in my life to have this as a headline. culpepper fakes his injuries. can you fake that? >> culpepper says he's ready to face a jury and let them decide if the allegations of fraud have any merit. certainly no doubt from what he showed me he suffered serious jars in his football career. now on the defense after appearing on "survivor" as 89% disabled. >> i was banged up and beat up. you can take care of yourself and i know for me i don't have as much pain as a lot of others. i still have pain even though it looks like that i can't do just about anything you feel it. >> your little pinkie is all -- >> oh. >> hey.

back here in this country a high-profile murder trial gets under way today. former new england patriots star aaron hernandez is charged with shooting his former friend who at the time was dating his fiancee's sister. the jury of 13 women and 5 men will hear opening statements today just as the defendant's former team makes final preparations for sunday's super bowl. and police in southern california are looking for this man caught on camera throwing something flammable into a mansion, seconds later thick smoke and heavy flames seen bursting out of the home. a young woman inside barely escaped in time. the fire causing nearly $1 million in damage. neighbors say the owners installed cameras after a dispute with a contractor. and wild stunt at niagara falls, a famous canadian ice climber slowly descended over the iced-over falls carefully making his way down with water rushing by him just a few feet away.

this is all part of a promotion for an energy drink. and finally, a completely unscientific super bowl prediction with a great track record. so pay attention here. three years ago, this porcupine named teddy bear because he's just so huggable chose strahan's giants over the patriots, clearly preferring the corn in the giants jar. the next year he chose the rave -- reyens jar over the 49ers. and last year you know it teddy bear took the seattle's jar and won big. this year, do you want to know what his prediction is? he is sticking with the seahawks, picking them as repeat champions so we will see if teddy bear can make it four in a row. >> i know it's going to be a good game. we know that for sure. teddy bear is great, though. other predictors like chuckles the camel. we have to weigh in with them, as well. >> lots of animals weighing in, george. i tell you what. health news now and the growing concern about that measles outbreak. one school in california is now taking extreme measures to protect its students from the disease and arizona monitoring a large group of people right now. abc's dr. richard besser is here.
8:06 am
this is a pretty fascinating step by the riverside school in california. saying to students if you don't have the vaccine you can't come to school. >> that's right. they think there may have been an exposure to measles in that school and the thing about measles is it can take 21 days from the time you're exposed to when you get sick and you can spread the disease for four days before you show any symptoms. so, if you didn't get the vaccine, they want those kids to stay home until they're outside that window. >> and in arizona, you have this larger group, a thousand quarantined at home for similar reasons. >> measles, it's not like ebola where you need direct contact, this is the most contagious virus we know of, a thousand people had some level of contact with someone who had measles so those not vaccinated they're telling them to stay home until they're out of the clear. >> it's getting serious out west. what's your recommendation? >> no one likes to give kids

8:13 am
mcgraw will perform campbell's oscar nominated song -- i believe we have it. ♪ miss you ♪ >> the song is "i'm not going to miss you" up for best original song from a documentary about campbell's final tour and his diagnosis with alzheimer's. mcgraw calls it a powerful song from one of the true legends of the music industry. we could not agree more. i dare say get your tissues ready. i am betting there won't be a dry eye in the house as you may have heard, the oscars airs february 22nd right here on abc. >> tim is going to bring it. he is perfect for this. >> powerful moment to be sure. also in "pop news" today, the baristas at starbucks may be notorious for spelling your name wrong, but did you know they might be helping you out in a grande way? according to zillow talk, the new real estate book, houses near starbucks appreciated 96% between 1996 and 2014 compared to houses that were further away. they only went up 65%.
8:14 am
obviously real estate a very good investment but 96%. therefore based on our "pop news" scientific investigation, the value -- there it is -- very scientific, the value of your house goes up a latte the closer you live to a starbucks. this is called the starbucks effect. we wondered if it works for the apartments near the over 200 starbucks on just about every corner here in new york city. >> kind of fit in "pop news" investigation. >> i will be investigating many different things, george, some of which you know about which are ongoing investigations. >> i love your inspector's outfit. >> i'm investigating. >> cute. >> that's what i put on when i investigate. and then finally, everybody, in "pop news" today, not popping it off, robin, i'm just telling you, jeff bridges wants to lull you to sleep. the oscar winner and recording artist has come out with a new album of sleeping tapes.

8:16 am
i'm a huge fan of his work and i'm going to -- >> i'm going to try it. >> we will do about anything for sleep. jeff bridges, thank you. >> we have a small table here. >> robin. >> i'm done. we'll show you guys. >> we will show you. >> lara, i mean, you just have kicked it up a notch. >> thank you. >> pop it off. >> the low -- >> investigates. and everything. >> put on my little hat. >> "pop news" investigates. hey, good morning. we are so happy out here. really we're just trying to stay warm. it it is cold. where are you from? >> from orlando. >> orlando. she said this is my kids, my husband. so you ran away. >> i ran away. >> well, this morning they're not running anywhere in parts of michigan, ohio, columbus getting freezing rain up to cleveland. you can see the freezing rain, that is a slick spot. not water there. that's what all the roads look like, hundreds of schools closed in the great lakes and here's what you're going to go for today. much colder air.

8:18 am
her decision at age 50 to remove the breast implants she got in her 20s. juju chang sat down for an exclusive interview. she joins us now. >> reporter: it's got to be a sign of the times that it seems radical to opt for natural breasts but melissa gilbert is so candid about her life's ups and downs and she's happy in her third marriage so she had no idea she'd get such a massive reaction for confessing to undoing her plastic surgery. >> melissa. >> reporter: melissa gilbert is used to the spotlight. literally growing up in front of america's eyes playing laura ingalls wilder from the age of 10 to 20 on "little house on the prairie." even serving as president of the screen actors guild. but now the 50-year-old gilbert making headlines with the highly personal blog about opting to remove her breast implants. earlier this month. you were a double d. >> can you believe this? >> what are you now? >> b. just an average b. not a big b. >> reporter: for 20 years she says she had implants, saline
8:19 am
then silicone, but she says insecurity over her physical appearance set in long before she underwent any operations. >> i was a late bloomer. i developed later than everybody else, and even on "little house on the prairie" the last couple of years, i was playing the adult version of laura ingalls wilder so it was just an assumption it was time to wear a padded bra and an a cup was not enough, i had to be a b. >> laura ingalls was wearing a padded bra? >> this laura ingalls and i was 16. so you imagine the message in my head is like, okay, well, these are not right. >> reporter: making matters even tougher during those "little house" years watching her on-screen nemesis alison who played nelly olson developing while she wasn't. >> i was a double a cup. they didn't make training bras. there was nothing to train, right? and she comes in, you know, at -- just a year older than me and she's wearing bras. >> legit bras?
8:20 am
the decision to remove the implants, gilbert says, all came down to health. >> i have disc issues in my neck and i have absolutely no pulling on my shoulders and all the pain in my neck has completely disappeared. >> reporter: and standing by her decision her husband fellow tv veteran timothy busfield of "thirtysomething" fame. >> my husband has been so supportive and sweet about this whole process. he said, do it, go. now he seems perfectly happy. >> reporter: gilbert says she's not against breast implants but hopes women considering the procedure have all the facts before going under the knife. >> the one thing that the medical community will admit to is that breast implants will not last forever in your body and have to be replaced. >> there's an expiration date. >> there's an expiration date. when you're getting the implants you're making a commitment not just to that operation but to every 10, 15 years. i don't regret i had the
8:21 am
surgery. i regret that i felt that i had to. >> and you know the reversal surgery is one that she had to shop around for. one plastic surgeon told her it would take nine hours of anesthesia and $38,000 but she says she wound up with a two-hour surgery that cost much, much less. this was like the opposite of a mid-life crisis. >> she's accepting a good message. >> i agree. >> thank you, juju and melissa gilbert will return when "secrets and lies" premieres on abc. we have football 101. for those of us who think a touchdown is when a plane is landing and the tight end is what you get when you work out a lot, football can be challenging. >> i actually did know both of those. >> okay. however, if you are baffled by the game, you're not alone. all right. here we go. >> hit the net. >> we all know i can kick. and kind of talk football. >> listen, this could mean draft
8:22 am
picks. serious business. it is serious business, that to some is more like a second language. >> illegal formation. pass interference. just ask phoebe from "friends." >> joey is going to catch it and you and i are going to block. >> what's block? >> up into the air. >> reporter: many still scratching their heads after this game-changing moment during the seahawks' big win last week. >> because the onside kick hits the ground you can't ask for the fair catch. you got to field it. >> even our own dan harris not exactly bursting with nfl know-how. >> not because you don't know what football is. that's different. >> is this the one with the home runs or -- >> close. you're getting warmer. >> reporter: sure, most of us know a touchdown is six points. but what's a bootleg? well, if you want to impress your friends, it's when the quarterback pretends to give the ball to a teammate then moves in the opposite direction for a pass or a run of his own. with so many americans expected at super bowl watching parties this weekend looking like we
8:23 am
know what we're talking about is something all of us might need just a little bit of work on. do you know the team that plays -- >> the new england patriots. i grew up in boston. >> the quarterback is? >> the quarterback is -- rob marciano, time for the weather. >> tom brady. >> how are you doing, man? >> all right. dan harris has proven that we need a football school and michael's football school did in session. >> yay! >> here we go. if you don't know what to say during a game with a lot of people have that problem, here are five things that will make people think you know what you're talking about. >> yes. draft pick. >> we haven't drafted yet. you threw that out there. you didn't know what you were talking about but made sense to me. that's what this is about. this is about throwing some things out there no matter what point of the game and people will say, they know what they're talking about. i will give you some terms. tell me what you think they mean. the first is holding. >> when you hold someone who is trying to run. >> hugging. >> that's hugging. >> that's hugging.
8:24 am
>> something for affection or that's a tackle. >> holding the line. >> holding the line. >> no, holding -- what do you do in holding? if anything happens against your team, say the other team scores a big play, you say that should have been holding. it means the other team is grabbing your guy. and not letting him go. >> not nice. >> impeding their progress. >> impeding. >> so just yell holding. always holding on every play. you can never go wrong with that. >> the hugging was nice. >> i prefer the hugging. a lot more tender. number two, oh, you know -- i know all about sacks. >> you sack the -- >> you're an expert. no need to go any further. you sack the quarterback before he throws the ball. behind the line of scrimmage. that's always important. >> number three, flea-flicker. >> does that have anything to do with flea markets? >> no, it means go wash your dog, your dog has fleas. when a quarterback has the ball, hands it to the running back and
8:25 am
he throws it back to the quarterback and he throws it down the field. that's's a flea-flicker. if a play doesn't do a play well just say fleaflicker. >> interference. >> it happens all the time. >> just say interference. that means they impeded on your guy. the last one is blitz. >> what people are going to get. >> you've got it. forget about this, everybody. blitz is, have fun, everybody. it's the super bowl. that's the blitz we should be having. and i asked my followers to send questions to answer about football. how do i reap -- how did i prepare for the super bowl? i slept at least eight hours. that was it.
