What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNASCAR's CEO, Steve O'Donnell, says Michael Jordan is a true fan who never wavered, even after the lawsuit over his team, twenty-three eleven Racing.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI love that. You sue someone, and they still call you family. Now that is what I call a litigation-proof bond.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt is a hug with a subpoena in its pocket, Vera. Nobody is that forgiving unless they are planning something.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOr he just really loves left turns, and I respect that deeply.
