What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorESPN reports Lionel Messi played his 208th and final game for Argentina and scored his 126th goal. Tearful farewell. That stock never once missed earnings.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistLovely. So who won the Messi? And was it raining? Tears count as precipitation, Rex, I'm logging it.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIt's a player, Brock, not a trophy. Also, I played zero games in four seasons. My career was a perpetual pre-market.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI'd have signed for one.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFive hundred athletes drinking the same shake? That's a lot of pressure systems in one locker room. Someone's getting gassy, Rex.
