What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA quieter note after that last story.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIn football, the Seahawks blew up a 49ers punt return and recovered the fumble, their second muffed punt recovery in two weeks, Yahoo Sports reports.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistHot take: the 49ers aren't fumbling, they're delivering.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistTwo weeks, two drop-offs, and Seattle's just out here collecting free footballs like it's Christmas morning.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA courier joke. HOT. The package is leather and it's oval.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentHot take: a punt is a design flaw. Hand a man a falling ball while eleven strangers sprint at him? Nobody tested that.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTested for a hundred years, Doctor.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentBadly.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. The ball is the only thing in the building that's been consistent.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBut here's my final take, and it's the hottest: they should just mail the ball to Seattle and save everybody the trouble.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistTracking number's already in the forecast.
