What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo he left the rest of a nine-figure deal on the table to own his own face again?
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat's a prisoner swap, Kenji. He gets the face, and LIV keeps the paperwork.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA face with no followers attached is just a face. He paid nine figures for a profile picture.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNine figures. I sat on a bench for four seasons and never got my name on a single jersey that mattered.
