What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYahoo Sports says Steve Kerr admitted there was a time this past season when his return to the Warriors was not certain, before he signed an extension.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo, panel: is it brave to say out loud that you almost quit your job?

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a coach saying he thought about leaving a team he's won four titles with. I'd call it Tuesday.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's brave! I once told my old pageant director I was considering a different sash color, and she wept, and I grew.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReckless. You tell the boss you nearly left, and he starts counting the days.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI once told a manager I'd consider staying, and he packed my desk by lunch.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFlag on the play! Oversharing, fifteen yards.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorUnnecessary honesty. Loss of dignity.

  9. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFine, I'm with Vera now, and I hate it. But only because Kerr's contract is signed, so the honesty is free.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFree honesty. That's the dream, right? Sign me up for that contract extension.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBefore the top of the hour, a judge just changed a college roster mid-season. How does that even work?

  12. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorShow of hands: who thinks honesty at work is brave?

  13. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwo for brave, one for reckless, and chat can settle it. Personally, I've wanted to quit for twenty-eight years and nobody has noticed.
