The pro football hall of famer turned sportscaster was 84 when he died in august. Give giffords family agreed to have his brain studied for chronic trauma encephalopathy or tcte. Reporter Frank Gifford was known for his long tenure on monday night football but before that, he was in one of the most brutal hits in nfl history. In 1960, gifford playing with the new york giants was leveled after catching a pass in a game against the philadelphia eagles. He was carried off the field, hospitalized, and sidelined for more than a season. Although he lived a long life and died of natural causes, on released a statement revealing years. Frank gifford suffered from cte. During the last years of his life, frank dedicated himself to understanding the recent revelations between the connection of repetitive head trauma and its cognitive and behavioral symptoms which he experienced firsthand. The symptoms are really very similar what you find in alzheimers disease. Reporter his team has been studying the brains of former nfl players who had symptoms of cte in life and confirmed the disease in 88 of 92 players. Well, i think the greatest risk is how much brain trauma youve taken. The more youve taken, the longer time youve taken it, and the earlier in life you start taking it, all of those factors put you at greater risk for developing cte. Reporter while experts say, overall, cte is a rare disease, the effects of head trauma on nfl players have been scrutinize scrutinized in recent years and prompting the league to make numerous changes to try to make the game safer.

Protesters in chicago this morning say they want to disrupt black friday shopping. This is because of the outrage over the shooting of a black teenager by a white police officer. Dozens blocked traffic and confronted police in a tense night of demonstrations. Some protesters destroyed part of the chicago christmas tree. Demonstrators took to the streets in other cities and six york. The protests are in reaction to graphic video showing an officer shooting a black teenager 16 times. It happened last year. Public on tuesday, hours after the officer was charged with firstdegree murder. Cbs news legal expert Rikki Klieman is with us. Good morning. Good morning. The question a lot of people have is simply, why did it take so long for this video to come out . Thats the 64,000 dollar question and it is a disturbing question, indeed. It is 400 days from the time of this shooting, until the time of the charges against the officer. Now, ive heard all of the excuses. I mean, you had a police investigation, fbi investigation, and investigation it is taught that you must be transparent. You must get the bad news out there early because the longer you hold onto it, ultimately, it problems. There is no reason for this video to have been kept quiet, silent, for all of this time. And only, only a motion before a judge that it released the fact it was going to be released on wednesday, many people believe caused the charges to be filed on tuesday. This paints a stark picture of what happened that night. What could the possible defense be . The video is very disturbing and i think that many people will say, well, this is the end of the case, its a slam dunk video. A case is never quite so simple. I would think that a good defense attorney is going to muster the usual defense in a case like this, which i thought the night was a gun and i saw a shiny object, i was in fear of my life, i was in fear of the the other thing to remember, from the defense point of view, because this is what a lawyer is supposed to do, is that they will say that the dash cam video is only one perspective and it is not the perspective of the eyes and ears of this police officer.

The National Retail federation estimates more than 135 Million People will shop this weekend, more than 30 million say they will hit the stores today. But the group also estimates nearly 60 of Holiday Shoppers have already started buying their items and those items, of course, on their christmas list. Cbs news financial contributor Mellody Hobson is in San Francisco to discuss black fridays blurring lines. First, good morning to you. Good morning. Secondly, you look at how retailers have really sort of, like, fixed things in a way that they are getting these deals out to consumers throughout the year. Is black friday still as important as it used to be . There is no doubt about it, black friday is still important. Its called black friday for a reason. Its the day supposedly retailers go into the black after being in the red for most of the year. But the rest of the weekend is now huge. Thanksgiving, great thursday. And, of course, we have got the weekend, itself, saturday and sunday, and monday culminates with cybermonday so all of these days have come very important. Today, people will spend about 3 billion shopping. Thats what they spent last year. So they will spend at least that much this year, perhaps more. So the weekend has changed, but black friday is still important. Ive always wondered, is it really good for the overall bottom line, black friday, when you take into account the overtime they have to pay people and the extra staff they have to hire . Is it more of a loft leader or do they really see the kinds of profits on that day . Well, its interesting. A lot of stores have no choice. They need to be open over this weekend because they sign contracts with their landlords that say they are open during normal mall hours. So they could be fined if they are not open, including some retailers today. If the mall is anchored by a big box retailer that is open, that may leave the entire mall to be open. No one wants to go shopping in a half full or half open mall. So its still a big, big deal. And their highest gross profits do come for retailers during the Holiday Season because they negotiate the best deals with period. What will be the make or break deal for this Holiday Season . Im not sure if is there a make or break deal. The number one gift item remains gift cards. 26 billion of them are expected to be sold again this year. I mean, that is the gift card has become the biggest gift. But, in general, youre going to see a lot of electronics. Youre still seeing people buy phones. That is huge. Tvs, huge.

Reporter 90 of the wine is made in tlachlt but 10 of the wineries are led by a female wine maker. The sisters assembled a team that is 80 women including their head wine maker and vineyard director. We have this vision and we have this goal and everybody is passionate about it and wants to get behind it and see it and be successful. Reporter for the mcbrides, success is not just about selling wine but also creating a sort of sisterhood among their follow female staff.

Why wouldnt he ever mention you have a sister out there . We would love to ask him that unfortunately, hes not around. Reporter their father wasnt around for most of their lives. But before he died of stomach cancer in 1996, he asked his family to try to connect the two girls. They were in touch with andrea but had no idea where robin lived. This is before the internet.

Reporter based on the shows recommendation, the family pulled the record of every Robin Mcbride listed at the department of Motor Vehicles and started writing dozens of letters.

Reporter the officers met in new Yorks Laguardia airport one day after robin received that letter. Im walking down the jetway and i see what i think is my reflection at the end of the jetway and as im walking and thinking, im realizing that the reflection isnt moving as im walking. So the realization hit that was the first time i had seen my sister who happened to look a lot like me at that time. Every time she tells that story, i tear up. Reporter why does that make you tear up . You know, i lost my mom and you know, we had lost our father and, you know, that was oh it was my sister reporter as the two got to know one another, they discovered a shared passion for making wine, something they each developed growing up in the major wine regions of new zealand and central california.

Studies suggest it can help relieve stress and improve your mood and boost your health all yearround. Our davidoctor david agus is here. What are your thankful for and how does this work . Ism thankful for my family. My loving wife and two children are here with me in new york and its certainly the most important part of my life. But trying to experiment. Smile. If you smile for just ten seconds, all of a sudden, your body feels differently. Its easier to small than frown. 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown. But when you smile, your whole body habit is changed and chemicals and endorphins make your brain feel and do better. Is this in cases of cart and the horse . You were talking about a study in the green room earlier. Right. That if you think about what youre grateful for, you feel better. But or is it the case if youre feeling good, youre grateful so its easy to do that . Its the coolest thing. They did a study where they put three groups. One group they say write down every week what you have gratitude for. The other they say what are hassles . You write it down once a week and the others wrote down neutral things. At the end of the study the people who wrote down gratitude had better selfesteem and felt better about themselves and their lives. It works. All of us can improve and thinking what we care about and writing it down. Get real for a minute here. The holidays are filled with stress and a lot of people, you know, dont feel so good this time of year. So how do you feel grateful when youre sort of in that funk . Well, you know, exactly a gene for gratitude. Variations in the gene all of us can have a little bit of different response to what happens. But that being said, the idea of just writing down once a week what we are gratitude for. Our family, our children, where we live, the smell of the fall, the weather today. All of those will make a difference. It has a physical effect . It has a chemical effect in our body and its real. When you looked at after heart surgery, people who felt gratitude and those people who actually wrote it down, actually did better. So it affects our body, whether it be smiling or thinking about what we have good in our lives, it overwhelms Everything Else and it spreads gratitude. When i talk about things, others feel it. What are you grateful for, donnie . Im grateful i wasnt born a bacteria. Being a human at this point in the history where the major diseaseses are pretty much curtailed, its a good time to be livealive and be a human. Ditto. There is a lot more. Family. This is a fabulous place to be on thanksgiving. Go eagles. You had me until that point Jennifer Wallace is in our toyota green room. A journalist with a guideline to those awkward moments at the thanksgiving dinner table. That is next on cbs this morning. Announcer this portion of cbs this morning sponsored by miralax. A laxative you can love hydrates, eases and softens to unblock naturally, so you have peace of mind from start to finish. Before there could be a nation, there had to be people willing to fight for it, to take on the worlds greatest challenges, whatever they might be. So, the u. S.

Saturday night live suggests adeles music is a good way to avoid conflicts around the thanksgiving dinner table, especially when talking about politics but is that the best way to prevent fights against politics and even your love life. Jennifer wallace often writes about family issues. Welcome back. What do you think of snls suggestion to handle problems . I love it. I will bring my iphone and keep it in the background for any emergency situations. Everybody has those sort of moments so its how you get out of them. Some of us have them more often than others. And the faux pas just keep coming and coming and coming. So, like, what is a person to do . What are the tricks of the trade to avoid those land mines . To avoid them first off tell you what to do in the middle of one. The first thing i love to do is pretend your kids are having a fight in the background so sorry, i think i hear trouble that is my one. You can only use that once, right, in a dinner conversation . So when someone else is sort of prodding and pressing one of your triggers and youre afraid youre getting into it at the thanksgiving table, one of the things i like to do is excuse myself for a minute and be right back. Go to the bathroom and wait a few minutes and think of Something Else to change the topic will have that person talk about them. Sit back down and come back with a strategy, like uncle bob, ive been dying to hear about your bee keeping. How did you get involved in that and change the subject to them. Dont engage. Dont engage. Is it ever okay, though, to just, like, dig in there and have that conversation . I can see that happening at your house. So many families i know who love the that sort of spark of debate that happens at the dinner table. I think as long as it doesnt get personal and you know, we hold our political and religious beliefs so personally and so part of our identity. When youre threatening somebody and challenging them, they could perceive that wrong. As long as you challenge them in a light way and make it fun. Together and not winning a national debate. Its not to win points. Its to bond. You want it to be pleasant and it can get very unpleasant. Growing up in my house, there was a Family Member who had very Strong Political beliefs and always evolve into an unpleasant situation so we would avoid it and completely change the subject as you suggested. But you know, the fact of the matter is that it is a dynamic thing. I mean, people believe things and then they want to talk about them and they havent seen you in a while. And they are Drinking Alcohol and inhibitions fall away. What i would say is, if you can, you know, distance yourself from the conversation and use it as opposition research. Right . If youre talking to uncle bob and he has views very different than yours, channel your intercharlie rose and ask him questions and why is he thinking that and how did he get to that . Youre not going to change his mind. He is holding them so close to his heart. Find out a little bit more about why he thinks that way. There is something that is happening more and more now. You see it at restaurants and also thanksgiving dinner table. You have friends and nieces and nephews who have children there. They are playing with their little tablet at the table. How do you gently handle that . I think if youre the hostess, we are having a techfree thanksgiving dinner and charging station in other room and enlist your brother and Jennifer Wallace, thank you very good morning. 8 25 on this thursday, november 26th. Im diane macedo. A beautiful start to the thanksgiving holiday. We will have a look at the forecast in a moment. First, dont be afraid, be aware.

Fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. Treatment with xarelto. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your sk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary strictions. Treatment with xarelto. Was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto. Wel veoullhereummoe anlsor yr.
