Sportscasters / Newscasters
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I've been forced to watch a lot of ESPN and football lately, since the guys at work always turn the TV to whatever they want to watch. I've noticed a strange trend -- sportscasters talk and talk to fill air time, and sometimes they have no clue what they're saying. Newscasters do the same thing, anymore.
Heard today on a football game:
Guy 1: "And they're just tossing that football up.. reminds me of when I was a kid and we'd play 'Three Flies Up'."
Guy 2: "What's 'Three Flies Up'?"
Guy 1: "You know, where you throw a fly ball with a baseball and then watch guys kill themselves trying to catch it."
Guy 2: "Ah, yeah, we called that 'Kill the Guy With the Football'."
Guy 1: "Baseball, not football."
Guy 2: "Whatever."
Later, they used the magic screen pen to circle the CBS logo and one of them said "LOOK AT THE GUNS ON THAT!" Then they went right back to the game.
And the other day on the local news, the anchorman turned to the camera with a perfectly straight face and said "All I wanna do is zooma-zoom zoom zoom and a boom-boom. And now over to Dave for the weather."
I think they smoke crack on commercial break. Anyone else notice sports/newscasters on crack?

ewwwww, steal the remote from them shal.
heh, i noticed the espn (or was it espn2?) guys while at the gym friday. they spent at least 45 min talking/ranting about stuff they either knew nothing about or it was speculation. a couple of them were funny as hell too. went approximately like this:
idiot 1: (blank) is coming back after a 2 year absence. [football]
idiot 2: thats going to be rough. hell be out of condition.
idiot 1: but hell still have the arm. you dont lose the arm. you lose general conditioning, but not the arm.
idiot 2: no, the arm can go too. he hasnt trained the arm.
idiot 1: hes still got that arm. you cant lose that.
etc. for a good 3 minutes.
theyre smoking something funny alright.

I hear people talk about sports and then I see an image of an ape tossing leaves up in the yard.

Those discussions sound very much like a lot of the posts I see in these forums from time to time  (i.e. haggling, talking nonsense, nitpicking, posting to fill air time)

Yea, Wench, I remember that conversation. They were discussing the possibility of Troy Aikman coming back to football.
If you want good sports coverage, watch PTI on ESPN. These 2 guys run through what ESPN covers in 24 hours, in one half-hour show.
*edit*
come to think of it, that discussion might have been on PTI. The beauty of that show is they put a 50 sec clock on each topic so you won't hear the same bickering for long.
