The scheduled start time for 60 Minutes isn't until 7:30/6:30 tonight. Even though it's a doubleheader day, we may not have to pad if the game ends on time. I've added a half hour just in case. Either way my DVR is getting a workout tonight.

You should always pad. The late games invariably go past 7:30. Hell, the SD/SEA first half hasn't ended yet.

7:34PM and there's still two minutes to play in the CBS game. Pad by at least 15 minutes (I'd do 60 in case the game goes into overtime) for inevitable "TAR" extension beyond the 10PM start time of "Undercover Boss."

Anyone want to take a guess at who won the game looking at that group shot? They always shoot those after the final 3 finishes the race.

I really like the casting thus far! 
Cheering for the OR docs and the father/daughter team since the daughter has the same name as my daughter.

Ugh, I just started the DVR to watch this & creaky old 60 minutes is still in the middle of a feature story. I'm so done with playing chase the time slot with CBS's Sunday programming.
Season pass deleted for this & Undercover Boss.

I will never understand why these dumbasses don't a) learn how to drive a stick and b) learn how to swim before going on the show...every season it seems like there is a team that can't handle that

There is a difference between driving a stick and driving a stick left-handed. I'm surprised more teams didn't have a problem with it.

Volleyball players are really annoying. Take a drink every time one of them says "son of a bitch".
