What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYahoo Sports says Philadelphia's LeBron James knows how to handle a star-studded roster, since the 76ers built a big three of their own.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI love a big three. It's like a group project where all three people actually show up, which has never once happened to me.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBoston did it with Russell, Cousy and Heinsohn, and then everybody got old. Stars don't last, Vera, only the paperwork does.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's the saddest thing I've heard before noon.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMeanwhile, Manchester United chiefs now admit the transfer window fell short of expectations, according to The Sun, after a disappointing start to the season.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAdmitted. Out loud. That's how it starts, you know, first the window, then the whole house.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNo, that's healing. Admitting it is step one, so I'm getting them a facilitator, a weekend retreat, and definitely a bowl of lemons.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLemons.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd the NFL Panic Meter says the Seahawks are showing more cracks than last season, and that was their Super Bowl season, so the encore is off to a slow start.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA trophy and a leak in the roof. Two thousand nine all over again.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm sending all three teams a vision board, Dale, and the Seahawks get the biggest one.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt'll be soggy by Thursday.
