Thats the whole problem with the site. It is "after the fact" material. For it to have been any good they should have made a call on it last night, or this morning at the latest. Now it's obvious what is going on.
"Sort of" is such a harmless thing to say. "Sort of". It's just a filler. "Sort of" - It doesn't really mean anything. But after certain things, "sort of" means everything. Like after "I love you" or "You're going to live" or "It's a boy".
