Gayle King Criticizes Nate Burleson’s Fashion Sense
Gayle King and Nate Burleson are the two main hosts for CBS Mornings. They have a pretty good chemistry, and Nate has proven his worth after moving on from the NFL to daytime television. Nate also works as a broadcaster for the NFL and he was working over Super Bowl weekend in New Orleans.

Nate had an interesting outfit at the Super Bowl. He wore a black ball cap and white cargo pants. However, he also wore a very interesting jacket. It was a black jacket with the right side, including streaks of colors on the front and sleeve. These colors included orange, purple, white, red, green, and blue. The letters NOLA went down the left chest area.
On the inside of the jacket was a lime green interior with artwork that included a character in a football helmet and the letters NOLA again hanging from a dream catcher.
When Gayle saw Nate in his jacket on the field, she said, “What is happening with Nater Burleson?” (via Instagram).

- “Nate is definitely the MAN when it comes to fashion.”
