9:05 am
to be had. i couldn't want to get up and get beat up. >> you know, shoppers know what they want. >> and surveys show that people expect to spend a little bit more, 8% according to ebay.com. one of the most interesting things that i have learned, some of the experts are saying, look, black friday is not necessarily the best time to get the best deals. a lot of things that you find on sale today are the lower end items, smaller appliances and things like that. if you want those higher end items, the best time is actually in the week after thanksgiving and then don't wait until the last minute because prices will shoot back up because they know all those last-minute shoppers can get a little desperate. that's the latest here at tysons corner. >> that does happen. >> thank you, sherry and love the hat. if one group had its way, no one would be out shopping

9:17 am
down is because i'm trying to get myself out of the situation. i'm getting my set pushed. i'm getting myself unbalanced. with that, people will interpret it, create their own story line. i know what i did. >> create our own story line. >> i don't think god will save him from the commissioner on this one. i can't believe that that's the explanation which is basically i was trying to get my balance. i was using his head as leverage. what about the foot stomp? we are not going to even address that. that's bizarre. that's a guy who has been in trouble before trying to make up an excuse that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. expect a suspension coming for ndamukong suh. i would be stunned if the commissioner does not suspend him. >> it's obvious. national audience, fox, thanksgiving day, no room in the nfl for that type of play. >> thanks so much. we appreciate it. >> absolutely she was and still is known as one of the most recognized
