Cecily Knobler-Not a great weekend at the movies according to Cecily. Jodie Foster's "The Brave One" didn't impress her all that much, but said if you must go, this would be the one to see. She gave it a C. Billy Bob Thornton and Susan Sarandon star in Mr. Woodcock which she said is cheesy 80's humor and gave it a D.

Battle of the Sexes-We end "Man Week" on a high note with the men winning, but still down by a lot!

Glenn Richards-He said a lot of the same for this weekend...mostly sunny skies with a 40% chance of rain and a high of 91. If you're headed to the UCF game, he said an afternoon thunderstorm is likely, you may want to bring a poncho.

$25 Pyramid-Erica played today and ran the table! $70 to Louise
