a remarkable book if you haven't read it and andrew tind l, publisher of the tindle report. you give brian williams the benefit of the doubt with katrina reporting. do you also think he had an embellishment problem? >> yes. the clips that you just played are a bit troubling. that's embellishment. i don't think he saw somebody commit suicide at the super dome but broke the story there and saw the hole in the roof. i don't think a body was per se floating by the ritz-carlton but there were plenty of people and i was there for katrina. plenty of bodies around the sea somewhere even being chained to places but more central city, maybe way up canal but the problem, could you have seen it from the ritz-carlton? hence people asking questions. i know brian williams was sick with what he calls disysenterydysentery. i interviewed heather allen and many others, jean harper from nbc who testify that he was really very sick during these first days and it might be part of the reason he was a bit confused but i think his reporting overall was stellar. >> and the stories of the armed gangs overrunning the

andrew napolitano. see you tomorrow on fox business. >>> instead of laughter he got disaster. it could have been brian williams playing pictionry with channing tatum. williams did not apparently want to slow jam the news with jimmy fallon insiders say he wanted to be a late night comedian. others at the network think b-dubs may never come back. one person feel like they quote, witnessed a sudden death. that's harsh. speaking of witnessing something horrible. >> that was pretty great. >> i don't know. that's scary. bonnie? >> i did my brian williams bit. i didn't know we were doing this at the end. >> there are two things an anchor needs to do. read a teleprompter and be trustworthy. >> well, let me ask you this if you have already answered the question. how come they all care about rosy? they are talking about stewart and williams but no one cares that rosy is leaving "the view." >> no one cares about "the view." they need to cash it in at this point. "the chew" is beating you. >> kt the chew." >> do you like "the chew"? >> yes. i may cook one day. >> terry green better ray is that you? are you angry

brian doyle murray. he usually does this i think. maybe he was unavailable. >> maybe he was busy. andrew?es because "american sniper" was the weekend's top movie again. hit another record along the way. clint eastwood's iraq war drama starring bradley cooper had the highest super bowl weekend box office take of all time. "american sniper" earning just under $32 million for a total now of nearly $250 million in four weeks of wide release. rounding out the top three "paddington". and then "project almanac." >>> big question out there. could a sports superstar who brings home millions of dollars actually be underpaid? the answer is yes according to one economist at vanderbilt. he points to kevin b durant for an example of this. to estimate a player's worth by how many wins he produces for his team. that data is then measured against the team's total revenue. bases on the economist's calculations, durant produced at least $30 million of the thunder's revenue. but he only earned $18 million last year. he points to salary caps for the reason for that discrepancy. not that somebody is going to c
