What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYahoo Sports says the Aces were swept by the Valkyries in the semis, and the press room mood was not what you'd expect. Thermometer's out.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, go.

  3. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHot take. Nobody that calm just lost. That room was more a funeral reception than a locker room, and the muffins were definitely the only comfort food anyone trusted.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNOT. Muffins don't win anything. Fine, lukewarm. Kenji.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Aces used to be the hunters, now they're the snack. Next year they're a charcuterie board.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHOT. Charcuterie board is a real threat.

  7. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorCharcuterie?

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCheese scares everyone eventually.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy final take is the hottest. If I get swept, I want a calm room, muffins, and a podium. Scorching.
