What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorGreen Bay leads Dallas twenty-three to seven with seven forty-four left in the fourth quarter, and that Cowboys offense is a family in crisis.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentEarlier it may have been twenty to seven, so I bet Green Bay added a field goal and nobody in Dallas posted about it.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorElsewhere, the Cardinals beat the Rams eighteen to sixteen, the Chiefs beat the Chargers twenty-two to six, and Buffalo won a thirty-three to thirty shootout in Las Vegas.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Rays took Game Five of the ALCS three to one and lead Cleveland three games to two.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, but the college poll is the real drama. BYU is number two.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, BYU walked into Saturday as ten and a half point underdogs against Notre Dame, won twenty-eight to twenty-four, and jumped from number eight to number two in one week.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI'm telling you, that is the fastest anybody has ever been talked out of a point spread.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFive of the top eight teams lost on the same day, the first time that's happened in AP poll history, the CBS report says.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the voters just kept refreshing until somebody was still standing.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat's disrespect to a program that last sat this high in nineteen eighty-four!

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRex, they rank you on one good Saturday. You're a free agent too.
