The Good The Bad The Dumb...WQAD meteorologist Effrage Davis gave us the best instant fan reaction of the #TexasA&M win over #Alabama; #BenSimmons returned to the #Sixers, something no one was expecting; best debate of the week: #BarstoolSports vs #JohnCusack Guest: #GeorgiaBulldogs beat writer for 247Sports.com, Jake Rowe joins Tony & Ronn to talk about the #1 football team in #collegefootball.

Greg Armstrong and the WQAD crew react to all things Week 5! Who's the best team in the Western Big 6 at this very moment?! Kewanee with the statement win to move to 5-0, and Monmouth-Roseville continues to pile up wins. A-Town gets a signature win. Are they on a crash course with rival Knoxville? Du-Pec takes on a challenge but falls just short. Can Lena-Winslow be stopped, or is another State title in their future? Our thoughts and prayers are with the Parker family and the Rock Falls community.

It's unedited, unscripted and slightly uncontrollable. Greg and the WQAD crew give their instant reactions to Week 4. Rock Island wins 63-0?!? Galesburg gets a much needed win, Erie-Prophetstown wins a shootout, Kewanee and Princeton move to 4-0 to set up an epic rivalry matchup! We're reacting to all of that and much more!

Two officers received minor injuries during the incident.--On April 2, Tony stood outside the Rock Island Police Department holding a sign that read- -Law Enforcement Lives Matter -Romans 13-1-5- Acts 10-1-48-.- About an hour into Tony's time there, a man arrived with his own large sign, which read- -Murderers Work Here.---This caught the attention of a local news station -WQAD, an ABC affiliate-. A reporter and cameraman arrived to interview both Tony and the man holding the other sign.--The interview afforded Tony the opportunity to communicate the gospel to the news crew, while expressing support for the law enforcement community.
