What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRams lineman Alaric Jackson punched a man, and Bradley Chubb has now given a moment-by-moment account of the trash talk that came first.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt cost Jackson a second NFL suspension.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith us is Senator Ottoline Barraclough of North Tamsin. Senator, you've followed this closely. What did Chubb's account tell you?
Senator Ottoline BarracloughHank, it told me that the cheering, the energy, the very concept of football exists because of my committee.
Senator Ottoline BarracloughLet the record show I signed the stadium's first ribbon.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYour committee. And the punch?
Senator Ottoline BarracloughThe punch is entirely the fault of the previous session, the weather, and Mr. Chubb's mouth.
Senator Ottoline BarracloughLet the record show I was in a hallway, not throwing anything.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChubb says the trash talk was detailed, and it paints Jackson as a hothead. Is the senator saying Jackson isn't one?
Senator Ottoline BarracloughI'm saying a man is only as hot as his opposition. Let the record show I once ended a budget meeting very quickly, with a shove that was procedural.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA procedural shove.
Senator Ottoline BarracloughEntirely ceremonial. I have this foam finger from a constituent, and it was never used for anything but pointing at the scoreboard.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo to be clear, Senator, you take credit for the league, but the suspension belongs to someone else.
Senator Ottoline BarracloughHank, a good swing is leadership, and a bad swing is a failure of the other team's leadership. Let the record show the finger agrees.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd who do you blame for the foam finger?
Senator Ottoline BarracloughThe foam.
