for a long time. i got to play a game that i loved with guys that i loved, got paid well for it. i d do it again any day. brian: you wanted to be the next mike strahan. you love sports, but you want to do everything, right? absolutely. brian: you were here ten years ago. long time ago. but yeah, i think what michael strahan has done has been fantastic and crossing over from just sports into entertainment and everyday life, he s doing a great job. steve: how do you feel today? i feel great. inked go play. steve: good. i could play one game. i just can t recover that next week. beth: take a swing at steve. as soon as they turn this camera off, he s going down. [ laughter ] brian: come o gretchen! gretchen: could i ask for the same treatment? great to see you. thanks for having me. gretchen: coming up next, is college worth it? not always. cheryl casone is here with the top four jobs you can get without a college degree. brian: big trouble for pam anderson of
. brian: time for your shot of the morning. this dog taking the internet by storm. it s only because he has a celebrity look alike. who is it? think reservoir dog. if you guessed steve bushemy, you are right. steve: harsh. gretchen: i don t think it looks like him that much. i thought we were talking about the dog last week that looked like a human. i thought they were going to say that. brian: i do think they look eerily similar, except for him, that s his first credible role he s had. he s usually like a guy on beano. gretchen: a bad guy. let s do some headlines. he can t pay his bills. he has no health care and now the government is adding insult to injury. they re investigating the man who shot and killed osama bin laden. the pentagon tried to determine if he leaked classified
from losing his leg. steve: joining us is form nfl star, jason taylor. good morning to you. good morning. thank you. brian: turned tv star at espn. we ll see. brian: i was shocked to see what you put up with and your reason for coming forward to talk about what did you to stay on the field. it s just the culture of the nfl. i m one guy of many that go through injuries every year, has to battle through those things. it s all about getting to sunday. that s what we always say. if i m hurt on monday, can i play on sunday? what do i need to do to get to that point? there are legal drugs that we take, pain killers, treatments, alternative treatments, whatever you can do to get youon the fiey the game. steve: extraordinarily, though, you would be in so much pain, you write and talk little bit about how you were in so much pain, you tried to fall asleep standing up on the stairs. when i had the compartment syndrome in my leg, i had no idea what it was. i was trying to get comf
then you put it over to payroll. the president could fix it, but so far he s chosen not to. gretchen: this is a big deal for 800,000 people, most civilians at the pentagon. it s furloughed one day every week, cut of 20%. interesting e-mails we received since we talked about this at 6:00 o clock from viewers, they say that during this time employees will be unable to take another job due to federal restrictions. so it seems like they re going to be in a tough spot. i wonder how many calls will be coming into the white house today to say, mr. president, please try to do something about this. brian: right. also on top of that, the president essentially says let s just do this in a fair way. let s raise taxes on the rich again. steve: didn t he already do that? brian: he just it it three weeks ago. now he says he s going to go back to do that. for the long-term the republicans are saying, why don t we go back and replace the defense cuts with other domestic program cuts, including
of what is looming and how the president could fix this right now today, just with the stroke of a pen. but he doesn t because he s out for politics and he s got a compliant national mainstream media. whatever he says, they put out there and that s one of the reasons why he s got a high popular iterating, because how many members of the mainstream media said you know the sequester was invented by the white house, right? brian: nobody knows that. he was denying that. steve: he was. brian: in 2010 that 2011, he s like, i didn t come up with this, and bob woodruff wrote it. he has all-time approval rating at 55%. 40% disapprove. all time for him back to 2009. for the republicans, they have 35% with a 55% disapproval rating. steve: today on the pages of human events, they say, and i quoted this earlier, they say rather than blame barak obama for inventing this and getting us into the pickle we re in now, the republicans should say, thank you, mr. president, for dreaming up a plan
