Re: Favorite Uncomfortable Sports Broadcasting Moments
[ QUOTE ]
anyone mention the time were one announcer said "look at that little monkey run". I can't remember who said it or what sport but I remember hearing it. It was the same person who also gave the explanation why black people are so good at sports. [/ QUOTE ] In Monday night Mayhem Howard Cosell says "look at that little monkey run", and then takes a lot of flack for being a racist. I don't know if it's true or not as I would have been 3 or 4 years old when it actually occurred.

There is earlier footage of him doing it when a white guy was running too. It was his way of saying "really fast guy" I guess. And Jimmy "The Greek" Synder was the guy who said why black people were good at sports. Oh, Al Campanis flushing his front office career away on Nightline was horrible to watch.

[/ QUOTE ] I also think Billy Packer said sometime about AI when he was on Georgetown. He said something like "he jumps like a monkey" he apologies minutes later.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Marino screws up, freaks out http://youtube.com/watch?v=qa9LNPwZIGA [/ QUOTE ] Nice. I had never seen that before and I was actually quite uncomfortable watching it. [/ QUOTE ] Why did he freak out? Because he sort of bumbled a word? I kinda don't get why he snapped... [/ QUOTE ] I have no clue. The best part is when he hits the table the second time. [/ QUOTE ] Not sure, but I'm guessing he wasn't supposed to let out that whats-his-face was golfing that week. Maybe he was rehabbing or something? He didn't mess anything up grammatically or whatever. I think he just blew someone's cover, that's all. I'll nominate when Michael Irvin implied that Tony Romo's ancestor f*cked a black slave, and that explains why he can scramble. It's very sad that he still has his job at ESPN. Especially considering Rush was fired for saying something legitimate, and in no way racist.
