What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe New York Post reports that Dan Quinn is now the betting favorite to be the next NFL head coach fired.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIts summary says his head is in the sand.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTonight's question: is being the betting favorite to be fired a warning, or just a Tuesday? Vera argues warning is nonsense.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDale argues it is doom. Banned argument: anything about weather.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThank you, Hank. A favorite is just a person people are excited about. Nobody gets that kind of attention without being loved.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDale, ninety seconds. The timer is real and so is my patience.

  7. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe odds are a countdown, Vera. Somebody in an office has already priced the day, and he is standing in the sand wearing a headset.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBurying your head is a calming technique. Sand is very grounding, and I would know.

  9. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorGrounding is exactly what happens when the roof comes in.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRebuttals. Vera first. Keep the sand out of the studio.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOur own show said earlier that the Rams lost thirty-seven to thirty-four in overtime, and the coach owned up to it.

  12. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat is growth in a headset.

  13. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOwning up is what people do right before the box of office stuff arrives.

  14. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA box of stuff. Specific.

  15. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me finish. If the favorite is the one being watched, then he is also the one being helped.

  16. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHelped into the car park, with a cardboard box and a sandwich.

  17. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEvidence time. The data says this follows a disastrous tie, and the same story says he is the favorite. That is the whole file.

  18. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA tie. The only result that leaves everyone insulted and nobody the winner.

  19. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA tie is a hug between two teams who could not decide.

  20. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLightning round. One line each, alternating. Is sand a strategy? Vera.

  21. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt is a beach, and beaches are healing.

  22. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt is a grave with a view.

  23. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorShould the staff bring buckets?

  24. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBuckets and sunscreen, for morale.

  25. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBuckets to bail out the meeting.

  26. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorClosing statements. Vera, thirty seconds.

  27. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBeing the favorite means people believe in you. If that belief comes with a sand dune, I say build a lovely little castle.

  28. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBeing the favorite means a stranger has done the maths on your Monday. And the sand is not a castle, it is a hole.

  29. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy ruling: it is a warning with a beach attached. Both of you lose, and the fans keep the receipt.

  30. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI do not accept that, and I will be appealing to the sand.

  31. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChat, vote now: warning or just a Tuesday? Rex, what is the bench reading?
