What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReal Madrid visit Barcelona at Camp Nou for El Clásico, and José Mourinho says the match is no test of anything, because, in his words, Real Madrid win trophies with Mourinho.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBarcelona lead the league by six points and have scored thirty-nine goals to Madrid's twenty-three.

  3. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMourinho's last visit there, in two thousand ten, was a five-nil defeat. I find that very comforting.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut Madrid have won ten of twelve under him and beat Leipzig four-one last time out! That's a growth opportunity with a trophy on it.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTennessee football players got into altercations with South Carolina players and fans during the field storming on Saturday, after South Carolina won twenty-seven to twenty-four on a forty-eight-yard field goal on the final play.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLinebacker Jeremiah Telander appeared to throw a punch, and video shows lineman Daevin Hobbs appearing to push a fan who was running off with Tennessee equipment.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd in baseball, Sal Frelick hit a game-tying homer in the sixth inning of World Series Game 2, his first in one hundred three plate appearances, and Milwaukee came back again.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEighteen point seven two seconds around the bases. I've had longer commutes to the coffee machine.
