What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe NFL suspended Rams tackle Alaric Jackson two games without pay for punching Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb after Monday night's game, ESPN reports.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorVera, Dale, bring me temperatures.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHot take: two games is a mini vacation with a bruise.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe gets rest, the league gets a lesson, and the knuckles get a spa day.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNOT. A vacation without pay is called unemployment.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHot take: the punch would not survive a rolling blackout. Lights out, nobody can find the guy, and it becomes a hug with extra steps.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHOT. Terrible, but hot.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWait, a hug?
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWith extra steps, Vera. Yahoo Sports confirms the two games, and nobody mentions the hug.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy final take: every punch in this league gets two games, and every panelist who says hug gets three.
