Shotzie, This is why I read your stuff. You get stuff that people want to know about that no one else reports. My boys and I were sitting here in my living room wondering about that reporter. We wanted to see him. We surfed everywhere to find something on it. Great stuff, as always!
Posted by: Soog | October 15, 2007 12:32 AM
Wow, you guys take your selves a little too seriously. Here in "BIG D" (that term is only still being used by media hacks stuck in the 70s) we actually have a very popular sports radio station here in the DFW area that is the home of the Dallas Cowboys. They are given much latitude when it comes to harmless pranks, and this is an example. We like our sports, but don't take it so seriously as to be snobs. You might take a lesson from that.
Posted by: Brad | October 15, 2007 11:03 AM
That's a bit that a Dallas radio station does to every opposing player and coach - called 1920s Reporter Guy - and it's true genius. His gotten Gretzky, Manning, Lebron, and quite a few of the local guys. It's funny, b/c the results are always the same - most people think it's funny, but anyone the northeast media seems to take some sort of offense to it. It's really quite bizzare.
It's a shame that you northeastern folks can't loosen up for a bit and enjoy yourselves. Maybe if you took the 23-skidoo out of your ass and spent more time doing the jitterbug or charlston, your life would be just a little sunnier.
Posted by: NickyB | October 15, 2007 11:11 AM
True genius? No, the plays of Anton Chekhov are true genius; the fiction of Cormac McCarthy is pure genius; this nonsense is pure idiocy but it doesn't surprise me that the hillbillies in Texas find it amusing. Not in the least.
Posted by: Marcellus Wallace | October 15, 2007 11:41 AM
Yeah, that's right, we are all hillbillies here in Texas. Hey, NickyB, its SPORTS! Go ahead and bash Texas some more. By the way, we have 4 of the most populous cities in the nation here in Texas (all in the top 16) We don't all ride horses or own oil wells either. Sounds like your mind is closed tighter than your anal comments.
Posted by: Brad | October 15, 2007 11:54 AM
Wow, why don't you guys bring your media ego down a little. The world does not revolve around the Northeast Media machine.
It's called Humor. Do you remember what that is? We're all born with it, but apparently in the Northeast you forgot what it is. Do they teach you to throw humor out the window in Journalism 101 up there? Now I know why you people are such miserable F**ks.
Try laughing a little, your life might turn out better.
Posted by: Tom | October 15, 2007 11:54 AM
Sorry, that last comment by myself should have been directed to Marcellus Wallace, not NickyB
I used to think that the NE was home to open minded liberals, but apparently its just a bunch of crotchety old men.
Posted by: Brad | October 15, 2007 11:59 AM
It's because the northeast print media are morons, too puffed up with an overblown sense of their worth to the sports community.
I personally thought it was a hoot.
Just because our print media wouldn't know a joke if it slapped them in the face with their press pass doesn't mean the rest of us up here wet blankets.
No 23-skidoo up my ass, it would have fallen out when I was doing the hustle on my boss' desk.
Posted by: Bahstin | October 15, 2007 11:59 AM
You guys do take yourselves too seriously. You're probably the same people behind banning endzone celebrations. Lighen up, man! It's a game. These guys are getting paid to do something many young children across the country do in their back yards. God forbid someone has a little fun. Having said that, though you probably find Chris Berman's 15 year-old schtick absolutely hilarious.
Posted by: The Franchise (with help from Big Unit) | October 15, 2007 12:11 PM
Haha good stuff. I always thought that the point of sports was to have fun and enjoy yourself. Some people need to chill out and relax a bit and remember that they're getting all offended over a game.
Posted by: Darin | October 15, 2007 12:15 PM
Seemed like harmless fun to me ... I was watching when he questioned Brady, and Brady seemed to get a kick out of it. Sure beats another mindless, "Tom, talk about [insert play here]." I mean, c'mon, he may be phrasing it weird, but at least he's still asking about the game itself, unlike at the Super Bowl when players get asked what their favorite breakfast cereal is.
Posted by: Dann | October 15, 2007 12:33 PM
When the Patriots sucked and we needed to get attention, we use to do things like that.
Then again we didn't. We have more class and higher ratings.
That being said your skits aren't funny they are just shitty. Here a a few exerpts from Funny 101.
Funny would have been offering T.O. a bucket of 25 millions reasons popcorn to go with his "ass whooping". Did I spell that right?
Funny would have been to offer Wade Philips a camera so that he could video tape Belichick's signals, cause they seem to be the right ones.
Funny would have been to do sit-ups everytime T.O. said, "Next Question."
Asking stupid questions of the opposing team, is poor sports and stupid.

KTCK 1310 AM does this bit all the time in press conferences. Most people just roll with it. I like it since it breaks up the monotony of very boring post game press conferences and it injects some real life moments into these events. Baby arm!

Brad says, "It's because the northeast print media are morons, too puffed up with an overblown sense of their worth to the sports community."
Gee, Brad, I'm not reading about this in the print media. I'm reading it online, written by bloggers who take themselves to seriously.
Posted by: bigyaz | October 15, 2007 12:59 PM
Higher ratings, Rich? Wow, you don't really get the point of any of this, do you? Sports are fun... let's not take them too seriously. Yes, we love the Cowboys, and yes, we love our 5 Super Bowls. But when they lose - to a superior team, btw - we don't sit around and wring our hands and beat our wives and get all uppity. We still manage to have fun; and some good-natured fun at that. In no way was 1920s Reporter Guy insulting the Patriots in any way, shape, or form - he's doing funny schtick for the sake of doing funny schtick. He did the same thing to Wade Phillips in training camp, and Wade laughed his ass off at, like the rest of us did. Why you northeasterners get sooo pissy about it is beyond me. My goodness, if you guys can't have a little fun after a WIN, may god help you all. Is this why you've all disowned the Bruins? Because life is just too hard for you when a SPORTS TEAM loses more than it wins?
Give 1920s Reporter Guy a break - he's done nothing to you. Maybe it's those long, lonely, lady-less winters that drive you people to such bitterness.
Have good and get give.
Posted by: NickyB | October 15, 2007 1:17 PM
yikes...lighten up! i usually like your stuff scott, but anyone who denounces this is just another media member (well,sort of) taking themselves way too seriously. belichick certainly saw a bit of humor in the question. i never realized post game press conferences were so serious.

"It's because the northeast print media are morons, too puffed up with an overblown sense of their worth to the sports community."
That wasn't Brad who said it bigyaz, it was me (Bahstin) and in case you couldn't tell by my screen name, I am actually from New England and a Pats fan.
I was responding to posts by Tom and Nicky B asking why our media can't take a joke (which they can't). I didn't check to see if our media was complaining before I answered, but I stand behind my statement that they are for the most part, lacking in a sense of humor that doesn't involve them taking pot-shots at anyone who doesn't agree with them or pisses them off. Borges (thankfully gone) and Dan Shaughnessy are perfect examples of this.
Posted by: Bahstin | October 15, 2007 1:48 PM
I just want to get this straight:
A Boston-based blogger calls some Texas AM radio "journalist" a bozo and his message boards are filled with angry Texans who are telling us that WE need to lighten up?!?!
Seriously, guys, relax. A blogger ripped "1920's Reporter Guy" or whatever you call him, get over it.
Here's a thought - Maybe it's not that Scott is uptight, maybe it's just that he thinks an "adult" walking into a room of professionals and busting out a junior high-caliber joke is kind of lame. Maybe it has nothing to do with Scott being uppity, maybe it's just that "1920's Reporter Guy" isn't funny.
You are all in here accusing us of being pissy and uppity and beating our wives (even though we're apparently lady-less) and banning endzone celebrations and being miserable f**ks simply because we don't think your AM radio stunt guy is funny...but, we need to lighten up?
Posted by: BM | October 15, 2007 1:49 PM

What's even funnier about this is the way the media reacts. If the athlete is on board with the bit (I. E. Lebron James) then everyone in the room raves about how "genius" the bit was. But, if the athlete is offended by it (I. E. Peyton Manning) then the guy doing the bit is a moron.

You Massholes have got to hand it to yourselves. To act PERSONALLY affronted by the antics of a genius, yes genius bit by the Flagship station of the football team, no less is a slap in the face of what Football is when you break down the x's and o's. A Game. Grown men, playing a game. Be it marbles or checkers, they still take themselves less seriously than the anointed few that inhabit the Nor'east coast of the US. To compare the GENIUS of 1920s Reporter Guy to the plays of Chekhov or the plays of McCarthey is about as asanine as comparing your 3 superbowls in 4 years to our 3 in four (all achieved without stealing the opposing teams signals, my man)
For the record, consider this a moment of clarity in your Mickey's Big Mouth soaked inteligencia as you watch me take all 5 of our Superbowl rings and put them on my middle finger right back atcha.

If the bits are idiocy, then why does Dan Patrick steal them? The little Ticket was also at the forefront of the ridiculous Super Bowl media day questions that seem to have been copied nationwide. Where else but the Ticket could you do a Michael Irvin interview shirtless in the middle of radio row during Super Bowl week? I may not live in Texas anymore, but I still never listen to BaD Radio!

1920s Reporter Guy - A segment where Scoops Callahan (aka Tom Gribble) asks celebrities questions in an Edward G. Robinson voice and 1920s slang. His most notable appearance was after a Dallas Stars/ Phoenix Coyotes game when he approached a defeated Wayne Gretzky. Scoops' past interviews have included Mack Brown, Vince Young, Sidney Crosby, Peyton Manning, Lebron James (twice), Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson, Roger Clemens, Wade Phillips, and Will Smith.
Now add to the list Tom Brady & Mr. Bill Belichick!
