What BBN said about it
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNew tonight, per Yahoo Sports: Patriots quarterback Drake Maye told a radio station he's a little bit skeptical we landed on the moon.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, he's a quarterback. Throwing something really far and having it land somewhere is literally his whole job. Why's he doubting it?
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorYahoo says Trump's NASA chief clapped back. That's a premium-priced feud over a rock.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI sat on a bench for four years, and I never doubted the bench was real.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWait, so who's winning, the astronaut guy or the football guy? Is there a scoreboard on the moon?
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNo scoreboard, Kenji.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorBut the Guardians lead the White Sox five to two in the bottom of the sixth, and the Dodgers and Braves are scoreless in the first.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentScoreless, nice. Same as my take on the moon. Zero points, zero opinions, maximum vibes.
