[ QUOTE ] Also another Nascar classic... Rusty Wallace was aksed how he felt about Jeff Gordon's wife (now ex-wife) sitting in with the pit crew during their races. Wallace responded something like, "I think it's ridiculous. My wife is up in the stands where she belongs!". This is what I have been told, so this may or may not have actually occurred during an actual broadcast. Still pretty funny though. [/ QUOTE ] I also don't understand why this is funny/uncomfortable/anything but standard. It's not like he said she was home making him a sandwich where she belongs. [/ QUOTE ] I think the "where she belongs" part of the statement is pretty strong. And if you can imagine the way Rusty Wallace would say this, it could come across as pretty uncomfortable. But Rusty doesn't give a s**t anyway. So I guess the interviewer got what they asked for. |

Re: Favorite Uncomfortable Sports Broadcasting Moments
Anytime Larry Merchant is on my TV I pretty much cringe as well. He needs to hang it up. The 5 second pauses he makes between every 4 or 5 words kill me. Of course Jim Rome does the same thing on his radio show, but he does it intentionally to eat up the 3 hours he is on. Merchant is just old and unfocused. Very uncomfortable, IMO DREW!!!!

Another Thom Brennaman boner, ruining Ian Johnson's proposal after the BSU-OU Fiesta Bowl last year. Maybe not as cringe worthy as some of the other, but pretty stupid. [/ QUOTE ] It was actually Chris Myers who blew the marriage proposal on the sidelines. BTW, Johnson and his GF just got married. Thom Brennaman's screwup in that game was going on and on about lack of a playoff right before crucial plays in the 4th quarter and OT. Concentrate on the game at hand Thom. Plenty of time to talk about playoff formats after or before, not seconds before crucial plays. |

I don't see what's wrong or uncomfortable with this statement at all. if same happened in any other sport, where some player or coach's wife was on the sideline...if you asked other players what they thought of this they would probably say, "I think the wives belong in the stands." I just can't figure out why this would be a big deal no matter what tone he might have taken to say this. |

[/ QUOTE ] I love how for this to be generally accepted as a bad comment, we all need to agree that women generally belong in the kitchen. lol. Women. It's like how people get enraged over black people/fried chicken comment. There is nothing inherently wrong with saying a black guy was eating chicken. But it's a stereotype, because they actually generally like to eat chicken. But then wait...if it's true, why is it wrong?!? I'm confused. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] |
