What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe New York Post says it is getting harder to trust the Rams: too sloppy, too undisciplined, and still talking about a championship.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith me is Cornelius Ap Tavish, chief executive of the Los Angeles Penalty Flag Appreciation Society.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMr. Ap Tavish, what do you make of the sloppiness?
Cornelius Ap TavishHank, I see a team that gives.
Cornelius Ap TavishEvery flag is a gift, and for the fans, we sell a pin for each one at nine dollars.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the Rams commit a penalty and you make nine dollars. Let me ask you whether you want them to stop.
Cornelius Ap TavishOf course I want them to stop, Hank. Stopping would be wonderful. For the fans, our twelve-pin set is now ninety-nine dollars.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe set went up ten dollars during that answer.
Cornelius Ap TavishThe market moves, Hank. And for the fans, it moved last Sunday, when they were flagged eleven times and I bought a boat.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA boat.
Cornelius Ap TavishA small one. It's named Holding. For the fans, it sleeps six, and it is very expensive.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'm asking you again, and I'd like a straight answer. Do you profit when the Rams are undisciplined, yes or no?
Cornelius Ap TavishI profit when the fans care, Hank, and nobody cares like they do when a tackle is illegal.
Cornelius Ap TavishFor the fans, that is worth two hundred dollars.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLast question. If the Rams clean it up and win the title, what happens to your pins?
Cornelius Ap TavishI have never been so frightened in my life. Please, for the fans, buy the pins now, before they play well.
