What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYahoo Sports reports that a star 49ers linebacker was ejected from the Week Five game against Seattle, in a rivalry that Kyle Shanahan's team and the Seahawks clearly don't need help escalating.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy take: he wasn't ejected, he was evacuated.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSomebody in that building knew what the second half looked like, and he got the only early exit.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot. He was thrown out of a football game, not a burning theater. I'm giving it a cold, flat NOT.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentHere's mine. He's now the best-rested man in the stadium.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentEveryone else is being hit, and he's in the locker room with a warm towel and a very small TV.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWarm towel.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHot. The small TV pushed it over. Nobody asks what the ejected man is watching on it, and that's the real scandal.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd your take, Hank?

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHottest of the night: the ejected linebacker has the only comfortable seat in that entire stadium, and I'd trade him for mine.
