still 1st down. >> gerry: a hold. through three quarters the ravens have dominated the game in every phase. the 1st downs you hope they are that lopsided come september 13. >> stan: if they look like this, they'll be in great shape. the last play was that was an option. you don't see that in pro ball. >> gerry: three man front for the ravens. comes to goodson. he scoots his way inside the 15. another penalty flag down. dante on r sareio, the tight end. appears to be the guilty party. because he was the one who was yelling the most after the flag flew. >> referee: illegal block in the back. number 88 on the offense. 10-yard penalty. still 1st down. >> gerry: the panthers now backing themselves up three consecutive plays in the red zone with penalty flags. >> stan: i don't know what he's arguing about. he hit him straight between the numbers. he acts like he didn't do it. he hitim hymn back in the back of the numbers. mcclain did a great job of backing it. because he attacked the back of the open field. >> gerry: here's

you are able to throw band him. >> gerry: giving to mcgahee.is own receiver and ekes out a one yard gain. rob burnett standing by. >> rob: you talking about michael oher, the first round pick go d an outstanding job against julius peppers. it's a natural position for him. he's going to be a right position because of gaither. >> gerry: whether it's right or left tackle, one of the things we are seeing, we talked about the costly penalty in the 1st quarter. but since then he's dropping guys. no sooner than i say that than a defensive end gets by and he gets penalized. >> referee: holding, number 74, the offense. 10-yard penalty, 2nd down. >> gerry: come on kid, we are trying to give you compliments. don't undercut us. >> stan: watch on the inside move. he got the outside arm on him. at that point grabbed the guy. >> gerry: good matchup of highocktain octain rookies. >> stan: he's got a sack in each one of the pre-season games. >> gerry: flacco throws complete inside the 30. derrick mason taken down immediately. checked that kelley washington on t

>> gerry: it could happen. >> rob: the situation could come down to kickoffs. >> gerry: among the players back in uniforms and in games, juan landry at safety, kelly gregg back in the middle of that defensive line. big difference makers. final minute of this ballgame. lawrence will lose a couple of yards back to the 10-yard line. antonio dixon on the stop. if they don't stop the clock here, that should do it. there's no reason to stop the clock and kick a field goal here. >> rob: not that the point. job well done, mission accomplished. >> gerry: the ravens are in the win column for preseason game number one as they will shut out the washington redskins 23- 0 the final. we're not done yet. ravens do call a time-out. and they are going to send graham gano out on the field to attempt a field goal. >> rob: does that -- is that sticking your face in it or trying to see your young kicker? >> gerry: i think it's trying to see your own kicker. if there were a regular season game, clearly that's running up the score. but i was on the fence with that about does harbaugh send the kicker out there or

. >> gerry: attempt ago throw on first down. he's across the 20. he gets a first down, on the first play of preseason. starting lineups for the washington redskins, betts in the backfield with mike sellers, devin thomas, out wide with antwaan randle el and chris cooley, made the pro bowl the last two years at tight end. first down from the 22. sellers is only going to get maybe a yard before he runs into ray lewis and taveras gooden. >> stan: stopping the run is what the ravens do best. they were third in the league last year which led them to second overall. remember they played the redskins, they just shut down clinton portis. if the redskins can't run, they can't move the football. because they have to be able to slow down the pass rush with the run. >> gerry: he completes it to cooley. gain of 11 on the play as the redskins will have it first and 10 at their 38.   >> gerry: opening up with a little home you want on offense. he was looking for devin thomas. >> stan: it was a good draw by chris carr who came in there in a so

good to see you. >> hey, gerri. nice to see you. >> i want to show you and our viewers some numbers here. it really describes what's going on. you see the pace of foreclosures starts higher and higher and then the pace of loan mods not keeping track at all with foreclosures. what's going on here? why isn't the president's plan getting more traction? >> well, for one, it's really dependent -- it's a voluntary system dependent upon these services who manage the loans, so banks and investors to voluntarily come in and participate in the program. that's been slow to come. it was slow to come under the bush administration and it's slow to come under this administration. >> why don't they want to -- why don't they want to help? i mean, what's the holdup? >> well, i think for one that a lot of the investors and services are waiting for the market to turn around so they don't have to take as big a hit so they're sitting tight. a lot of them don't have the capacity. they didn't staff up. and then for another group of service

gerry and stan, what do you guys think about tonight?king at the area that serves as the primary focus of improvement in this preseason for the ravens offense, the red zone, the 20- yard line and in. for the last five years the ravens have not been able to take the ball from the red zone put it in the end zone more than 50% of the time. the best teams in this league do that 70% of the time, find the end zone in the red zone. as we talked to joe flacco this week, did you get any sense of reading between the lines of what they're going to try to do differently this year? >> they said score more. but how do you do that? they ran the ball pretty effectively. 20 touchdowns on the ground last year, but they've got to be able to throw the ball down there. the windows are tight, so you need that bigger receiver. the kelley washington, justin harper. you hope they're going to provide that. it's not especially the 80-yard touchdown or the 60-yard touchdown, it's being effective when you get the ball in the scoring area and getting touchdowns and n

nixon left office and gerry ford was sworn in as president. how many countries do think would have it happened in that way? host: when did it become inevitable to you that the president would have to leave? guest: as the watergate hearings went on, particularly after john dean, his counsel testified about there being a cancer on the presidency, that i think then it really drifted into a most likely ending. nixon fought it. nixon thought that, but the situation kept deteriorating. the cover-up is usually worse than the crime, and i am still of the opinion that very early on, if nixon had come out in the national press and taken the blame, and as the american people for forgiveness, i think we are a forgiving country. i think he would have survived. but they kept resisting and resisting, so that i think deep into the watergate hearings, the time is coming up. guest: john is absolutely right about that. nixon could have saved himself. congress certainly did not want to impeach and tried to president for high crimes and misdemeanors, and yet he dr

just because you have $4500 for your clunker, gerri willis says this. >> cash for clunkers can give you a nice boost if you're looking to get a more efficient car. no matter what the incentive is, you have to make sure you can afford the new car in a first place. let me show you an example here. if you buy a car, average price tag, $26,000, let's say you get the most you can from the government, $4500, that reduces your cost to $21,500. if you finance it throughout four years, you pay 7% interest, your monthly nut is $514, just for the car. and so you got to be able to make sure you can afford it, it is something you can really take advantage of it. cars aren't like houses, they don't increase in value over time. they get into accidents, you don't know for sure if it will be around for another 20 years. it is a product constantly losing value. >> we want to examine this further. is the cash for clunkers program for you? ken and daria dolan are joining us from west palm beach, florida. you know their faces, this dynamic duo. good to see you sir and ma'am. these are financial analysts. yo
