What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorYahoo Sports reports Las Vegas native Sal Everett went from UFC security guard and runner to a Contender Series contract.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat is the greatest internal promotion since I got to hold the kicking tee.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo he stopped guarding the building and started getting hit inside it? Is that a promotion, or a very aggressive transfer?
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorBrock, it is a breakout IPO. Meanwhile, the Warriors lead the Lakers one nineteen to eighty-four with under four minutes left.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat is a margin call, delivered by hand.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistEighty-four sounds low. Is there a front moving through Los Angeles? Is it raining on the Lakers?
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNo, Brock, they just can't score.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAlso in the NBA, Brooklyn crushed Charlotte one twenty-four to ninety, and Denver beat Utah one seventeen to one oh six.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNinety? That's the temperature in Los Angeles today, Rex. Coincidence? I think the jet stream is following the Hornets.
