kirk cousins will be backed up by rex grossman.s you can imagine it was a circus at today's press conference because shanahan has some explaining to do. >> the first thing did i was talked with dan snyder, talking about the number of hits that robert has had, and any time you're hit as many times as he has been hit, i thought it was in his best interest, of the organization to talk about if we should continue playing robert if he's been hit as many times as he has been hit. dan thought about it, talked to bruce about t and at the end of the day we felt that the best thing to do for robert was to not play him. what we have to do, or at least as an organization what is in the best interest of robert? what is the best thing going forward for him? to have those next three games? the experience of going through those reps? or having him healthy in the offseason? >> that's why i thought it was just another normal week. turns out it's not that way. at the end of the day coach's decision is what we go with. that's what it's always been. so

jeffrey grossman over at the nymex, i was looking at the oil contract earlier sitting above $98. the activity we've had in that contract over the last week or so has been really the jump that we have not seen for weeks. does this continue? we going above 100? what's going on? >> everybody wants to talk about 100. i'm not there yet. i will say this, though, when we broke out last week, that was above the 95.60 area, the market switched over to a market that has been able to be bought on dips on a continual basis for the last half a dozen sessions here. the market is certainly looking healthy. in fact, the only thing that tempers my judgment and wants to say that i don't know if we're going to see 100 without any new information coming in, the gas and the heating oil relative to crude oil has shown a little weakness in the last few days. those crack values, which had blown out, have really calmed down a bit and now have come in a bit. so, again, we're going to have to wait for tonight's numbers in the api and tomorrow's eia numbers to at least give us an idea of overall direction.

unchanged for the 30-year, i agree, i was refinancing, jeff grossman, after so many questions i said, okay, i get it. the body's in the cask of the mack idea doe. yes, things have changed -- [laughter] i felt so guilty. let's talk about oil, i'm looking at a print, you have said we're not going to see $100 a barrel. what do you see now? >> well, again, we're not there yet, okay? and again, you have to really look. the february contract is the one that really is more key, and that did get up to 99.5 or so, 99.49 to be exact. again, what's really driving this market really are the products, but it's very important here is the heating oil and the gasoline which really as a result after the news came out yesterday really, they dipped initially and then have roared since. they're now about 7 or 8 cents off of those lows that they made initially after that report. so they're really driving this market here. whether they have any more legs is going to be doubtful here. in fact, this afternoon today looked like a very good sale, but the momentum carried them a little further on. tomorrow's go

grossman calls chicago the new new york when it comes to stop and frisk.ng me now, angela caputo. thanks so much for your time. >> thanks for having me on. >> in goes back to the same debate over for example when people cite stop and frisk here in new york and they make it the rationale for why the crime rate has dropped despite data that says opposite. we're hearing a similar thing in chicago regarding the hot spot transition to hot people debate. >> absolutely. i mean the strategy is hot, people then there are a whole lot of hot people here in chicago. we're talking about two different things, but here police have issued more contact cards in new york city than the peak. police really are going out and interviewing a lot of people and the hot people strategy, that's actually a little more nuanswered when they are knocking on door and finding people who have relationships and finding people who have a connection to someone who's been murdered. these are more likely to be hot people who would be involved in more violent crimes. >> police are saying and you

to jeff grossman at the nymex, and i know you keep a close eye on crude, but i'm wondering if you couldnt on the trade in gold since we saw such a big move lower today. >> the gold is trading in what i still consider a normal range here. unfortunately, everyone has this idea that the market has to go back up here. they still remember the $1900 level or whatever. this market is working, in fact, i still think it could even work it way lower here. i think maybe we're even talking into, let's say, the 1100s which scares everyone to death here. i'm not really a real gold bull here, i never was, and i was a little surprised when we ever got where we did. again, you can't find it. now i think it's a reality check here. it is a one-third retracement from the highs, and that makes everyone a little concerned about where this market can go from here. i think that's where we're going to settle at the end of the year. next year maybe some fresh money will come in and could give it a bolstering up to let's say even i would say now your upside potential is maybe 1350, maybe 1375 on the upside, that
