1:20:54

Emily is fresh off a full day of jury duty, Luka is facing the Mavs in the wrong jersey, and TMG has somehow planted themselves in the middle of a Texas SB2 debate about school choice. (We know, we should stick to sports.) We offered the TMG-SPAN floor to education analyst Lynn Davenport to offer a rebuttal to last week's guest. She explains why she feels the proposed bill is not in the best interest of Texas families, and why she felt compelled to get involved in the education system as a concerned mom herself.

Everybody is talking about SB2, the "school voucher bill." How it will affect our students and schools if it is passed through legislature? We got some answers from Texas state representative John McQueeney as he joined the show this week to talk about this hot topic. Also, how should we deal with the tough situation of kids being left out, or leaving others out because we can't have everybody to everything? The Four Nations Faceoff is taking off for the NHL (and further displaying some northern border tension). Also, what should the NBA do about dwindling interest from their fanbase?
