Masculinity is back.  The side of masculinity that stayed home and watched TV during the feminist revolution enjoys “The Man Show” on Comedy Central reveling in beer and babes, while Hooters is a commonplace chain across the country. In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, is the macho man back in style?  Also, a trip to Massillon, Ohio, the town where every baby boy gets the same gift - a football.  America’s obsession with sports, close up.
