DOUBLEHEADER -- October 26, 2012 at 6:33 PM EDT

Shields and Brooks on Sununu and the Giants

By: Hari Sreenivasan

No, it's not the name of a hipster band from Brooklyn, it's what we talked about on the Doubleheader with syndicated columnist Mark Shields and New York Times columnist David Brooks. In our sport of politics section we addressed the recent controversial comments by John Sununu, a surrogate for the Romney campaign.

In our politics of sports section we talked about the San Francisco Giants, who as of this writing, are heading into game three of the World Series with a 2-0 lead. Both men wanted to root for the underdog Detroit Tigers but we all pandered to our wonderfully supportive audience in the Bay Area. Thanks KQED viewers.

Have a great weekend.
