What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGeorgia beat Florida twenty-seven to eight on Saturday, and coach Kirby Smart then went viral for saying players are less hungry in the NIL era.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHe says a lot of these players make more than he made until he was forty. So the hunger problem is that everybody's already eaten.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPresident Trump says if Democrats win Congress on Tuesday, he will become, quote, Mr. Veto.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe told Bloomberg that after a month or two of getting vetoed, they come over and make a deal.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMr. Veto sounds like a cereal mascot.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA mixed-breed dog named Timothy was adopted from Wags and Walks Nashville after four hundred and one days in a shelter, and the nonprofit calls him sweet, goofy and loving. He waited more than a year, and I hope his new couch is the most comfortable one in Tennessee.
