What BBN said about it

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentOhio State fell to unranked USC thirty to eighteen, and Dave Portnoy has called coach Ryan Day trash.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe Buckeyes outgained the Trojans four hundred sixty-four yards to three thirty-eight, but did not reach the end zone until late in the fourth quarter.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMore yards and fewer points. That's a Thunder-Nap commercial where the couch wakes up and still loses.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentDay blamed red zone mistakes and penalties.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIn Kansas, Republican Senator Roger Marshall ignored his own campaign team's guidance and released a video, as his re-election race against Democratic pastor Adam Hamilton tightens.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe campaign declined to discuss where the video came from, but the disclaimer says Marshall approved it. So he's the producer.
