Intro: Michael Rand takes a look at the Clippers, who are trying to break one of the most dreadful streaks in pro sports history on Friday night.

And is there some frustration between Buxton and the organization that could lead to bigger decisions ahead?
23:00: The value of interviews and a look at the Bears' QB situation.
