What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorSunday morning, so let's get to the chair.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorHarlequins just scored a half-century of points against French side Vannes in the Challenge Cup, and Yahoo Sports still calls them struggling.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFifty points and they're struggling? What does a good week look like?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, the Prem is the league that counts. Their form there is poor, and I'm telling you, a cup win does not fix that.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIt is a coat of paint on a leaking roof.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the chair is hot in one tournament and cool in the other. Same team, same week.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorExactly. In the Prem, it's a four-alarm blaze. In the Challenge Cup, lukewarm. A nice tea.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFan question. Does a cup win buy them any patience with the Prem?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNot a day. What cools it is wins in the Prem, plain and simple. Win there and the chair goes back in the garage.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorSo the Prem gets the surface of the sun. Vannes gets lukewarm, because they just lost by fifty and somehow seem fine.
