oh look another thread about the texas bama game

1/7/2010 10:41:46 PM

espn radio called him an idiot and a fool who doesn't deserve to ever see another sporting event

I know you gotta lay the hurt on those guys but come on the announcers don't have to treat it like genocide or anything.

1/7/2010 10:49:37 PM

we're so at odds with personal responsibility that the announcers feel the need to vilify people like that so that if someone gets hurt doing it, they can't sue the announcer for making it sound fun.
I dont think im even kidding here

what about security? I've only been half-watching the game.

^ there was a streaker during the game when the cameras panned out to the blimp and secoority was called

1/8/2010 12:12:31 AM

sweet.

Opinion: Streakers enhance the entertainment of any sporting event, and while they should be removed, needn't be vilified by the announcers/press.

I'd like to see someone try to streak during a hockey game... could be amusing and disastrous all at once.

talk about blue balls

I think they should have shown the guy getting taken down by cops.

What would have been really cool is if he got tackled by a player and knocked unconscious.

of course you wanted to see that. everyone does. that's precisely why they don't show it. they don't want to encourage people to seek the attention.

i say, who gives a fuck. show it, it's hilarious and no harm is ever done.

^exactly. Beat the dudes ass down in front of millions of viewers. It can't hurt the ratings.
