Another reporter who made us look bad...

    That video was worse than the original post described. I figured he just said, "Hey, can you sign this for my girlfriend? She's a big fan." But no. He went into a spiel about her fandom and how exactly he wanted the signature.

    "And you sign your name..."

    That's embarrassing. The video is tough to watch.

    That is Ed Littler, he is the Sports Director of NBC News5 in Hastings, Nebraska.

    Ed Littler has been on the sidelines for hundreds of professional, college and high school games and practices since he joined KHAS-TV NEWS 5 in September of 1992 as Sports Director.
     
  4. I also assumed before viewing the video that it would be some young guy. What a disgrace to the profession.

    What a disgrace that he has a girlfriend.

    Even a student reporter wouldn't do that. This is a TV "journalist" move, through and through.

    Though it's fairly stunning that it's someone with more than 20 years in the field.

    Is that a video of the incident in question, or is it a re-enactment?

    A student might do that... but then they'd have been let go LONG before they were sent to conference media days.

    It's OK, they're using the footage for an upcoming feature.

    Haters gonna hate.

    My favorite part ...

    TV idiot: Coach, I have this girlfriend who is a huge Iowa fan, and I would make major points with her if you could sign this ..."
    Ferentz: And I'm guessing you could use some points, is that right?

    After seeing what this douche looks like, I'm not sure any autograph is going to get him enough points to gain entry into her pants.
