What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorESPN reports Eagles two-time All-Pro tackle Lane Johnson is retiring after fourteen years, all in Philadelphia, to focus on his mental health. Respect.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFourteen years at one company with no job-hopping? Rex, is that tackle a kind of tackle box?
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNo. He blocks people so the quarterback lives. I sat on a bench for four seasons and blocked nothing but sunlight.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorOver in baseball, the Dodgers and Braves are scoreless in the bottom of the second, series tied one-one. Roberts dropped Ohtani to fifth, per AP.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentDemoted to fifth? Is that like being moved to the quiet car? Does he get a mascot to apologize?
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorFinal from the NFL: Falcons forty-five, Saints twenty-four. That is a margin call with a cheerleader squad. Don't ask me about mascots.
