What BBN said about it

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorQuite a bit. That is a very polite way to describe pressure.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI rate this heat a solid medium well.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorWe only have the first half of the quote, so the commissioner is sweating over a sentence nobody finished.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFan question, then. What was the end of the sentence?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNobody knows, and that is the pressure. To cool it down, somebody has to scroll to the end of the headline.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBefore the top of the hour, we ask whether a royal engagement can be fake, and who is excited about it.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNow I'm rating the cut-off headline itself. Surface of the sun, because it just stops!

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorSkip, you're live somewhere damp, so tell us if anyone out there is under more pressure.
