What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBo Bryan, Luke Bryan's eighteen-year-old son, broke his right collarbone on Friday after being sacked on the opening drive.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorJoining me is quarterback futurist Cornelius Abernathy-Voss. Thanks for being here.

  3. Dr. Cornelius Abernathy-VossThank you, Vera. And yes, I predicted this, as I wrote on page two hundred twelve of my book.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo you predicted he'd get hurt. Bo had thrown for two thousand six yards and thirty touchdowns with three interceptions.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhat did you predict about that?

  6. Dr. Cornelius Abernathy-VossI predicted that too. Page one ninety: a great season, a sack, or both. I covered the field.

  7. Dr. Cornelius Abernathy-VossHold on, I need the foam finger.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwo thousand and six yards, doctor. And you're saying a quarterback with those numbers could get sacked, or not get sacked?

  9. Dr. Cornelius Abernathy-VossCorrect. It's a research instrument, Vera. It's been pointing at the field all season, as I noted on page eighty.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHere's my reading.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe sack was on the opening drive, he sat out with his arm in a sling, and the team says it will be back.

  12. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI assume the release reads, "Bo successfully tested the ground on the very first drive." I call that a messaging win.

  13. Dr. Cornelius Abernathy-VossA messaging win. I wrote that on page thirty-one. Bo said we will be back, and the foam finger agrees.

  14. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCoach Bobby Bentley said he doesn't yet know what the team is looking at. Did your book cover that?

  15. Dr. Cornelius Abernathy-VossPage nine. Maybe page six. The coach is, strictly, in my chapter on not knowing things.

  16. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPage six? Your book is shrinking.

  17. Dr. Cornelius Abernathy-VossIt's a very efficient book. By the end it's one page, and that page says I told you so.

  18. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPage one, doctor. I assume it says, "Both outcomes confirmed." Brock, the forecast for a quarterback this weekend?
