jordan reid brings to think and this is while they're trying to bring in that you receivers, terrell pryor, get josh dock send back out there, trying to build the chemistry between the two new guys, like jamison crowder, jordan reed back out on the field today, you will not see the full complement, but hopefully there's a chance jordan reed will be on the field sunday and as they say the third preseason game is the most important because usually the fourth is a one when really no one play, lauren and shawn, you don't want to see jordan reid out there sunday, yes, it will give momentum to this team going into their first game of the season. >> that's what we going. looking forward to it. thank you very much. >>> we're doing pretty well weather-wise >> yes, how appropriate that we got good football weather. it's about to get better. shawn and lauren, we've been changing over to the more comfortable air mass, because it was still 86 degrees, that's actually average for this time of year, but if you've been outside, you felt that dry air, it's trying to beat a quick and hasty retreat to the so

the rest -- >> no, no, my first question is, how is the network treating you 40 years after richard pryor's nbc? i didn't realize it had been 40 years. just researching for our conversation. >> yeah. i didn't realize. >> 40 years on the same network. >> yeah. there are battles. it's a string of battles. because one, you're dealing with a corporation. you never want to forget that, as much as you want to be a bleeding heart artist and say, this is truth, this is what should be seen, you are working within the confines of corporation. anything that you see on television, even the internet, to a certain degree, you're working with, you know, these rules of people that are very cautious and very cautious about perspective that's so strong. the fear is that it will turn viewers away. right? they don't, people don't want to say real things because they're afraid, if you disagree, you won't watch it, but, you know, i think it's, again, staying true to yourself in perspective as you know. that's what we hold onto when anytime the network's a little cautious. we say, but this is honest, this is real

terrelle pryor has dropped four passes in his preseason. that's incredible.appens in the passing game, but that pick six by kirk, really bad throw, really bad decision. it's preseason, man. let it go. >> reporter: what was he thinking trying to chase him down for that? i have no idea. any positives? defense forcing a turnover and we got to see junior galette actually played here. >> defense was good outside of where aj green was aj green. it's kind of like last week when you go if aaron us up, what will the rest of the league do? >> reporter: good to see rob kelly hit pay dirt. do you think he'll be the no. 1 back for the eagles come september 10th? >> yeah. i think if he runs out a nice couple carries, kelly was great. >> reporter: tell the redskins fans how they should be calm and not panic about what happened here against the bengals. >> very simple. this is the preseason. the results don't matter. >> reporter: greg hoffman, 106.7 the fan, catch him daily as he covers the redskins this season. thanks for your time. we appreciate it. all right. so the first

crossover appeal with white audiences, paving the way for such other black comic greats as richard pryor. one of his big breaks came in 1961, when he found himself on" the tonight show." gregory was able to make people, white and black, laugh about sensitive race issues, once saying "i gave the country a new way out-- healthy racial jokes"" >> baseball is a great sport for my people; it's the only sport in the world in which a negro can shake a stick at a white man and not start a riot. >> sreenivasan: but comedy wasn't gregory's only passion. he would go on hunger strikes to protest the vietnam war, police brutality, native american rights and was frequently arrested. gregory was shot in the leg while trying to defuse the watts riots in 1965. he can even be heard on beatle john lennon's anti-war song," give peace a chance." and gregory also tried politics, running unsuccessfully for both mayor of chicago and for president of the united states in 1968. gregory was still telling jokes on the comedy circuit until weeks before his death. dick gregory was 84 years old. >> sreenivasan: tal af

his comedy is viewed as trailblazing for the likes of bill cosby and richard pryor.vism that described his life was sparkeded when he joined the demonstration for voting rights in mississippi. in 1963 he was arrested and jailed in birmingham, alabama. he went on long hunger strike, some lasting weeks, protesting the vietnam war and the plight of african-americans in the united states. gregory was born in st. louis, the second of six children, raised in poverty by his mother. his later life was not without controversy. he was committeded to conspiracy theories about events like 9/11 and the assassination of john f. kennedy calling elements of the government evil, but mostly he will be remembered for putting a frame of humor around america's troubled past. dick gregory, comedian and civil rights activist, died last night in washington, d.c. he was 84 years old. >> i think the most beautiful part about this that few people, particularly in the south realized that after the negro wins full citizenship and first-class treatment the american white man will become free. it'

that's my executive prauroducer there was a one-handed catch by pryor yesterday.y fantasy la take a look at this tweet from @tahitijohn, opening day of zucchini season. i show to to my wife and it's a really great picture except for the gun. i try to explain her, that's what we hunt with. @james_wolweber, who says, synergy pharmaceuticals has been down in the dumps since fda approval lower stock price now than when it was it developed a biotech. that's not an uncommon pattern after there's a lot of hype going into approval, you get the approval, and a sell-off and one of the pharmacy benefit managers have chosen not to cover their drug, which means it will not have wide acceptance. and that's what's going on there. here's a tweet fro from @nedstarman2, who asked jim, can you comment on part-time ceo @jack @twitter, which is obviously not working what can shareholders do absolutely nothing it's just the way it's going to be he's not going anywhere. the stock has had a big run. he should declare victory and move over to twitter and then all, let's say only in a -- n

his success opened the door for other black comedians including richard pryor and flip wilson.performers told jokes and stories from mainstream audiences, he tackled racism in his act and on talk shows and given the recent racial tension in this country it's fair to say that he could take his act on the road today. i never learned hate at home or shame. i had to go to school for that he once said. he was active in the civil rights movement with his actions and words. only gregory could satire jim crow laws by saying this quote. i walked into this restaurant, this white waitress said we don't serve colored people here. i said that's all right. i don't eat colored people. in 1968, dick gregory ran for president as a write-in candidate for the peace and freedom party and the same year that alabama governor george wallace ran. 50 years ago, he stressed the importance of black voters getting involved in politics. >> i think it's good for what he's doing because for the first time he's given a lot of people in america a means of expressing themselves as never who had that means befor

country and paved the way for generations of african-american comedians from bill cosby and richard pryor to chris rock and dave chappelle. on sunday, chris rock wrote on instagram -- "we lost a king. there will never be another. read his books, look him up. you won't be disappointed. unfortunately, the america that produced dick gregory still exists." dick gregory was the first african-american comedian to sit on the couch of "the tonight show" then hosted by jack parr. but as his popularity grew, so did his activism. he was jailed and beaten by birmingham police for parading without a permit in 1963. he took a bullet in the knee while trying to calm a crowd during the watts riots in 1965. that same year he spoke at one of the first major teach-ins on the vietnam war. it was at the university of california, berkeley. >> as far as war, as far as the way that radical group will say -- there just holding this meeting because they want to duck the draft. there will always think of little petty things to say. but i tell you one thing, i and not against armies as long as the armies is going to

he broke racial barriers in the '60s and his satire inspired richard pryor and a generation of african-americanind. he had a funny joke back in the day where you didn't talk about race. you said to people, you better be nice to me because under john kennedy's housing policy, i could be your neighbor. black man in the neighborhood. >> he inspired a lot of comedians. he really did. >>> penn state students return to class as the u life safer. today the university will take responsibility for oversight and discipline of fraternities and sororities. it was previously done by independent greek governing counsels, also firing 14 new positions. the measures come after sophomore timothy piazza died in the now closed bay that theta pie case. he was hazed emt drinking excessive amounts of alcohol at a party. 1 fraternity members have been charged in connection with his death. tomorrow his parents will join us only on "cbs this morning" to share their reaction to penn state's charges and whether they go far enough. i tell you, i always get the chills reading that story. that's so painful. >> you know he di
