What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRaiders teammates Kirk Cousins and Maxx Crosby argued on video about which animals they could beat in a fight, the New York Post reports.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Raiders' social team asked them which of the biggest animals they could take. Cousins said a panda, but only if it doesn't fight back.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCrosby's reply was, quote, "Bro, a panda is a bear." And he called Cousins a huge panda guy.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhich brings us to a ceremony. This is BBN's Animal of the Day, and the honoree is the panda, who was not consulted.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNot consulted at all?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNobody asked the panda. Its title is Undefeated Theoretical Opponent, Hypothetical Division.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentStat line: zero fights, zero losses, one asterisk for being a bear.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCrosby would take an ostrich, and Cousins figures a koala is an even match.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd when Cousins was asked why fighting a panda would feel awful, he said, "They're also, like, endangered." I got a little emotional.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe man had a real answer.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAccepting on the panda's behalf: it declines to fight, it says it is a very serious bear, and it asks for privacy.
