What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYahoo Sports reports Bayern Munich and Harry Kane have agreed a deal in principle that keeps him there two more years, so is a deal in principle a real deal?

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNo. It's a handshake with the lawyers still in the parking lot.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm sorry, but a commitment is a commitment. When I promised my accountant I'd file my taxes in principle, he gave me a trophy made of receipts.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDid you meditate?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIn principle.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI'm with Vera, and it pains me.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI have forecast sunshine in principle for three weeks, and every one of those days it has been sunny in principle, right up until it hailed on my windbreaker.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBrock, was it seventy degrees or not?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistIt was a number in principle! Fine, you've turned me. A deal isn't done until somebody's pen runs out of ink.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTraitor! You changed sides because Hank asked for a temperature.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistHe asked nicely. Nobody's done that in years.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHands up if a deal in principle counts. Vera, yes. Brock, no.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd I've been leaving this desk in principle since two thousand eight, so I abstain. Chat, vote in the comments.
