What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThanks, Hank. Now to the thermometer. Yahoo Sports reports the Bears announced a surprising decision about quarterback Caleb Williams ahead of Sunday's Packers game.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDetails are thin, so the takes are thick. Brock, you're up.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThe decision is a cold front moving in, Chip. Soldier Field will be breezy, and my love life says the jet stream picked a side.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNOT. Brock, you made a quarterback story about your dating life. Pretty chilly, even for you.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentMy take: the Bears let a chatbot make the call, and it's already plotting against me. I see you, writers.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT! Nobody blames a robot like a woman with three doctorates. The thermometer is smoking.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy final take: every team should announce decisions at a drive-through window, with a free milkshake for the loser.
