Today on WBZ - right after Paul Harvey KneeYouse And Comment, just before the hockey game, the announcer tossed to the sports guy who announced that the Bruins and Celtics were off tonight.  He then went on to talk about a sports player accused of smuggling pot in a jar of peanut butter.  It was a pre-recorded sports report that I heard over a week ago.  The announcer said nothing.

Something must be wrong with their computer.
