What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBrady Tkachuk of the Panthers notched consecutive hat tricks following a scoreless beginning, becoming the first player since Auston Matthews in twenty twenty-four to accomplish that feat, according to Fox News.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe headline says the internet owes him a big apology, which means the timeline doubted him early and now everybody's deleting posts.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe internet owes him an apology? Who's holding the internet? Is there a front desk, or a drive-through window?
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThere's no window, Chip. Thousands of people just type sorry under his name until the vibe resets.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThousands of people typing? That's a lot of sorry. Somebody should hand deliver it, with a fruit basket.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentDude, the apology is basically a pile of replies. Nobody carries it anywhere. He'd have to scroll for a week.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA week of scrolling and no cake? Kenji, I'm driving to the rink with a casserole and a signed card.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHashtag Sorrycasserole. Done, it's perfect, and now you're online whether you like it or not.
