I noticed this in the other half hour Fox Sports 1 promo video. Gary Patton and the other male sportscasters were in suits and ties - fully clothed. That Charissa Thompson was wearing a dress so short she had to use both hands to cover herself when she was sitting down. And the guys all sat in the chairs, but Charissa had to sit on the arm of the chair.

And it's not just sportscasters. Fox News is probably the worst. The female "journalists" on there are wearing short skirts, hair and makeup done up like they're going on stage - Miss America stage or...another stage, you decide.

Watch the credits - "Wardrobe provided by..." These outfits are all determined by the studios. But I couldn't imagine being a woman and walking on set.

"Okay, Gary - we're going to have you wear this suit and this tie and these pants and these shoes. And Erin, here's your dress. Try it on, it may be too long - we'll take it up a few inches for you."

Fox News is indeed pretty shameless with the hot women in tight dresses.

Ah, that is true, I didn't know the Albuquerque Studios connection, just saw the DEA office down the block.

Craig Neal, the new Lobos head coach, who took over for Steve Alford, must be ecstatic that Fox Sports 1 has moved into town and started up their programming.

I thought Todd would come back into play somehow, but that plotline doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless he is really trying to be the next kingpin. Other than that it was a pretty meh episode.

No way. Maybe not much happened plot-wise (which even that i'd disagree with) but it had several extremely memorable scenes that were all executed perfectly.

She could just fire the Phoenix crew and set him up somewhere else. Unless that was the only way to get methylamine. It's not really clear how much of that is even left from the train robbery.
