What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSports Illustrated says the Texans are emerging as a suitor for receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in what it calls a bizarre trade saga.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBizarre. Delightful. A man is being passed around like a casserole nobody ordered.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd Vulture reports that New York Comic Con's Violent Night 2 panel discussion ventured into some pretty strange Santa mythology.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWeird how.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorUnclear. But if Santa has lore, he has paperwork, and I bet the reindeer never signed.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFine print. Section ten: any reindeer is covered by the parking lot towing fee. Sleigh included.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBefore the top of the hour, where did all those cars go after the concert?
