Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA lighter note.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFox News reports Tulsa's Oran Singleton Jr. escaped a tackle and heaved a prayer, and David Wells Jr. tipped it to himself for a touchdown against Navy.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIs a catch like that skill, or just luck?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistLuck. Pure luck. I once predicted sunshine in Leeds and got it. Nobody called that skill.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBecause it was Leeds.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSkill. I have watched men stumble into treaties. The ones who landed on their feet were called diplomats.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo the ball hit his hands twice and he's a genius?

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe was present for both touches. That is more than most officials manage.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'm with Brock. Luck. Last winter I found a parking spot outside the studio in a blizzard. Front row. Nobody gave me a trophy.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistA parking spot.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHank, you just described a career built on a parking spot. I would like to see the replay before anyone votes.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI changed my mind. It's skill. Hank's parking story has convinced me everything else is luck, and I refuse to be on his side.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPetty. Fine. Show of hands: skill?

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwo for skill. One for the parking spot.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChat, vote luck or skill. Brock will ignore it either way.
