What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, Pickens is on a twenty-seven point three million dollar franchise tag, and Dez Bryant says the Cowboys only go to him in critical situations because of his contract.

  2. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI'm telling you, that's a family in crisis, and Dallas is two and four.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI assume the Cowboys' message is, we value him so much we're protecting him from the football.

  4. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorEleven targets, Vera. Eleven. He caught six of eleven for seventy-three yards.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen he's the decoy, Rex. Eighteen for Lamb doesn't happen without somebody being so expensive that nobody covers him.

  6. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat is the most correct thing anyone has said about football today.
