What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHere is the good news, folks.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Commanders had seconds left to beat the Giants in overtime, and they let the clock run out instead, so it ended twenty-seven to twenty-seven.

  3. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThey ran out the clock on themselves, Vera. That is not kindness, that is a team forgetting how time works.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI choose to see two teams sharing a cookie. Nobody lost, nobody went home empty-handed, and the clock finally got a moment in the spotlight.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe clock was an accomplice.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd it deserves a hug.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA tie is the only result where nobody cries, and I find that so beautiful that my eyes are doing a thing.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMine have been doing it since the overtime started.
