Radio guys

Discussion in 'Journalism topics only' started by greenlantern, Sep 19, 2008.

  1. They talked about the play and the guy's speed. I knew the team was in its own territory and they eventually said "touchdown" after clearly getting more and more pissed as the play went on.
    It was even worse than normal for these knuckleheads. The broadcast is usually just full of "we" and "us" and discussions of just how close the last play was to an interception/90-yard run, depending on whether their team is on offense or defense.
    Tonight they even rated the bands at halftime. Guess which one got just a slightly better rating?

    That is bad.

    I hate it more when I'm stuck in the box next to them. I just go into a happy place in my head.

    You know what really pisses the shit outta me? Those "live update" guys in college press boxes.

    "Colt Brennan just completed a 32-yard touchdown pass to Limas Sweed to put Texas up 45-3 over Baylor with 12 minutes left in the first quarter. Baylor has 4 rushing yards on 16 attempts and the Texas defense has produced four turnovers here in Waco, Texas."

    They always just suddenly burst into borderline yelling, right there in the middle of a peaceful press box. Makes me want to pour hot sauce in someone's eye. What a bottom-feeder existence.

    I love the radio guys who sit there and read right out of me preview -- with no "thanks, Diego" at the end.

    Is this the game where the team recovers three consecutive onside kicks to take the lead and then loses on the ensuing kickoff return?

    "We woke up Earl "The Cookie Man" Miller. Break out the Oreos, baby!"

    Best line of the whole thing, if only because you get the feeling no one listening would have a clue who Earl "The Cookie Man" is.

    Yeah, I know that guy in the Baylor pressbox; it can be a wake-up jolt when he gets on the phone doing that update thing.
