What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMr. Raddatz, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has blood clots that traveled from his leg to his lungs.

  2. Cornelius RaddatzYes, ma'am, I saw. I've gone nine nights without real sleep myself, so I understand what he's up against.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe team says he's stable and has no significant functional limitations, and that he will miss the rest of the season.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorReports say he played after thirty-six hours awake. Is that wise?

  5. Cornelius RaddatzNo. Nobody should play on thirty-six hours. My longest was twelve nights, and I had this stopwatch to keep me honest.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwelve nights? A moment ago you said nine.

  7. Cornelius RaddatzNine recently, twelve in total. Fifteen if you count the fantasy league hearing, which I'd rather not discuss.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTanner McKee has taken over as the Eagles starter. What should the team do for Hurts now?

  9. Cornelius RaddatzLet the doctors lead and keep the schedule simple. Lights out at the same hour, and nobody touches the stopwatch but me.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAnd the fantasy league, Mr. Raddatz? You keep circling it. What actually happened?

  11. Cornelius RaddatzA clerical matter about entry fees. Eighteen nights awake over the paperwork, and the judge called that a confession.

  12. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorEighteen now. Mr. Raddatz, thank you. We wish Mr. Hurts a steady recovery, and the Eagles have your number.

  13. Cornelius RaddatzWhich number, ma'am? You've been given four.
