Mike McCarthy has lived down to my expectations as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. A New York City Chipotle is overtaken by rodents. Vegas Corner with Gabe Mirabelli, who looks to build on his stellar 16-9 record against the spread.  And then pilot Brad Richert joins to talk about learning to fly, stories from the air, and his family's upcoming move to Papua New Guinea.
