chanman1128 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I posted this in the MLB thread yesterday, just got a video and decided it needed its own thread...I laughed for like an hour last night, replayed it like 100 times....really funny to me anyways: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lodestar Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Haha, oh man, that looks nothing like McNabb... very awkward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Matt Vasgersian, in addition to switching the team he broadcasts for every year, seems like quite the glad-handing twit. Edit: Apparently he has only called games for two teams, but it seems like more than that to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hollinger. Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Probably just from doing national games for Fox. You know when Billy Ripken and Mitch Williams are calling you out for saying something stupid, you've really said something stupid. PS: Looks more like Dave Winfield.

The High Heat Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I absolutely love Billy Ripken as a broadcaster, but unfortunately his personality is wasted by working with other broadcaters who don't really have one; same holds true for his work on XM. Who else on the planet can give Cal Ripken, Jr. shit about being the "Golden Boy" but "Little Brother?" Put him with Jon Miller! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hollinger. Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Billy Ripken and Jon Miller would be AWWWWESOME on SNB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KevinG Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It does kinda look like McNabb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 A joke that bombed. I kinda feel for the guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Know what else is funny? This: That was my understanding too, so Vilsack's statement was puzzling. And IMO premature at best and completely untrue at worst given other govts. actions. I personally would not recommend eating a ham sandwich right about now ,no matter what they say is safe.

I can see if I was watching the clip with friends, saying "hey, is that Donovan McNabb?" could draw a few laughs. The problem is probably in broadcasting, you can't be subtle, so he had to be all "hey! run that clip again!" rather than just tossing it in there casually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It had to be a joke gone bad. Those other guys just treated him like an idiot making the joke bomb even more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
