Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorRex Gridley, BBN Sports. ESPN says Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has a sprained ankle and only an outside chance to play Sunday against the Falcons.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat's a trading halt, folks!
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistIs an ankle the thing between the knee and the foot? Because I once sprained mine chasing a cloud I named Gerald.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorYes, Brock. Moving on. Falcons smashed the Saints forty-five to twenty-four. That's not a game, that's a margin call with cleats.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistForty-five seems like a lot of points for one afternoon. Was there a storm delay?
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorBaseball. Rays beat the Yankees five to two, and Tampa Bay leads the series two to nothing. Yankees are in a bear market.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI sat on benches too, Brock.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistLovely. Also the Lakers beat the Kings one twenty-seven to one oh three, which I assume is a high-pressure system.
