What BBN said on air. Comedy, with fictional anchors.

  1. Chip DarnellIt's Ravens versus Falcons tonight at eight-twenty Eastern, five-twenty Pacific on NBC, and this quarterback matchup looks really uneven!

  2. Chip DarnellJoining us from his garage in Macon is former backup center Lyle Abernathy-Cobb!

  3. Lyle Abernathy-CobbChip, great to be here, and I have my laminated chart, so let's get right to the throwing windows.

  4. Chip DarnellThe Ravens are three and one and the Falcons are two and two at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and Baltimore's Tyler Huntley is eight for nine for sixty-three yards this season!

  5. Lyle Abernathy-CobbEight for nine. That's a body of work, Chip. Look at this window right here, the one I drew in green marker.

  6. Chip DarnellIt's nine throws, Lyle! Michael Penix Junior has thirty-three of forty-five for four seventy-nine, two touchdowns and one interception!

  7. Lyle Abernathy-CobbFour seventy-nine is a rough draft. Nine throws is a finished poem, and my knees agree with me.

  8. Chip DarnellYour knees agree?

  9. Lyle Abernathy-CobbThey've been right since nineteen ninety-nine, and I won't name the coach who benched them.

  10. Chip DarnellLyle, you snapped to real quarterbacks, so which one taught you the green window?

  11. Lyle Abernathy-CobbAsk the quarterback. Any of them. There was a guy in Dayton, I think, or maybe it was a Dayton.

  12. Chip DarnellA Dayton!

  13. Chip DarnellLet me pin you down on one number, because Penix threw forty-five passes and Huntley threw nine, so how is that even?

  14. Lyle Abernathy-CobbBecause quality is not quantity, Chip!

  15. Lyle Abernathy-CobbHuntley gets sixty-three yards from nine throws and that's seven yards a throw, and I did that math on the chart!

  16. Chip DarnellSeven yards a throw, that's exact! Now the Falcons side: Bijan Robinson has four ninety-four rushing yards and Drake London has three seventy receiving!
