Chip DarnellBallon d'Or night is here!
Chip DarnellYahoo Sports ranks Harry Kane and Lamine Yamal near the top, and Sky Sports says Kane has taken over as bookmakers' favourite.
Chip DarnellCeremony's at the London Palladium, the first time in London, for the seventieth anniversary. Gloria, your hot take.
Gloria VanceESPN reports Aitana Bonmati won three straight, then broke her leg and missed the top thirty. This is not an award.
Gloria VanceIt is an attendance policy with a trophy.
Chip DarnellThat's HOT. Harsh, but fair. Dale?
Dale BearmanKane scored seventy-three goals for club and country, ESPN says.
Dale BearmanOver a season that long, the trophy goes to whoever survived it, and I want to know who's checking the medical room.
Chip DarnellNOT. Dale, you got gloomy about a goal total. Impressive.
Gloria VanceSeventy-three goals, Mr. Bearman.
Chip DarnellFinal take: the trophy goes to whoever clocks in, so I'm filing for it. I was in the building the entire time.
