What BBN said about it

1. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIn Munich, Harry Kane walked out last, carrying the Ballon d'Or, with his wife and four kids, to Land of Hope and Glory.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLovely. Is that the team in the red uniforms?

3. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorBayern, yes. They host Dortmund today. And he's the first Bundesliga player to win it since nineteen ninety-six, Vera. Thirty-six league goals last season.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRed really is his color. Now, some people want him knighted, and he said calling him 'sir' would feel a bit weird.

5. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorHold on. Nobody has offered him anything and he's already turning it down?

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe's getting ahead of it. In press-office terms, that's a pre-emptive declination of an honor currently in the rumor phase.

7. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, I'm telling you, that's the most polite holdout in the history of sports.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe press release writes itself: Harry respectfully declines. Pending an offer.
