We're back from a week-long hiatus, and started the show by opening the lines to catch up with our listeners on a political potpourri.

NBC Sports reporter Trenni Kusnierek gave an overview of NFL injuries, and focused on two recent retirees: Andrew Luck and Rob Gronkowski.

ACLU Massachusetts Executive Director Carol Rose discussed allegations of police misconduct against counter-protesters during the so-called "straight pride" parade Saturday in Boston.

Corby Kummer discussed the rise of virtual restaurants.

Ali Noorani, Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum, discussed the impact the public charge rule is having on immigrants trying to get state benefits.

CNN's John King discussed Joe Biden's strength as a candidate, and Elizabeth Warren's steady rise in the polls.

We closed the show by continuing the conversation around football injuries, and opened the lines to hear listeners thoughts on whether we should stop kids from playing tackle football.
