What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorA federal appeals court reversed the judge who tossed that four point seven billion dollar Sunday Ticket verdict against the NFL, and it sends the damages to a new trial.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the verdict was cut and then signed again? Is that legal, or is it just the draft?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe ruling stands, and only the money gets played again, so the league could still be tripled to fourteen point one billion dollars.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFourteen billion. That's a lot of nachos.
