Jimmy Fallon Could Moonlight As A Play-By-Play Man
Saturday, March 14, 2009
Saw this last night on the Jimmy Fallon Show, and had to share. Fallon, and his announcer, decided to replay some of the highlights from the 6 OT 'Cuse-UConn game, and do a little play-by-play of the action....
Actually, I take that back....maybe he should stick to his night job. Speaking of that game, I wonder if McDonough, Raftery or Bilas, ever had to pee during that game. That must have been hell.

A Network Actually Airs The National Anthem At A Sporting Event
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Sure it was the N.I.T. and I don't know if it was the producer's call or Sean McDounough reacting on the fly, but ESPN actually aired the National Anthem before the UMass-Syracuse game....
I know a lot of you feel the same way that I do about the anthem, but I definitely think it needs to be aired before all games. Kudos to Dan Shulman and/or ESPN for letting the Syracuse Band play it on-air (no matter how bad it sounded).
Oh and UMass completed a ridiculous comeback from down 21 in the second half and earned a trip to NYC. Great game.

Sean McDonough Is A Trooper
Tuesday, February 05, 2008
Having the flu recently myself I think I know how Sean McDonough feels. He probably should have just taken off for last night's Louisville-Marquette game, but the PxPer stuck it out. The highlight of the night was by far this clip in which he makes fun of himself....
I'm pretty sure McDonough didn't want to relive the last game in which he called out sick. The crew joked about Michele Tafoya having to take over for him later in the game like she did when the two worked for CBS.
Good stuff Sean. You are a dedicated individual....and not just because you spent an entire CFB Season in the booth with Chris Spielman. Oh and nice segue Raftery.
Don't Do It Stoner, Oh God He's Doing It!

This clip is going to keep me smiling for the rest the week. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm so glad Bleed Crimson passed it on to The Wizard of Odds so I could get my hands on it.
Here we have Rob Stone before the Nevada-New Mexico State game last Friday. Rob is doing a spot with the Chili Pepper Institute of New Mexico State U when he decides to bite into the Bhut Jolokia....the hottest pepper in the world.
Dagger! 5 to 6 hours??? You might have wanted to learn that ahead of time Rob! Way to take one for the team.

Chris Spielman's Dig On Rob Stone
Saturday, October 27, 2007
This caught me so off guard that I had to share it with you this morning. Rob Stone was doing a sideline report on the "Milk Can" (the trophy that Fresno State and Boise State play for) and afterwards Chris had the dig of the century. Take a listen...
"Good to see Rob Stone's Curves workout pan out....he can lift up the milk can, that was nice."- Chris Spielman
Now that's funny....I don't care who you are. Gave me an actual spittake last night.

Chris Spielman Is Scaring Sean McDonough (And Everyone Else)
Sunday, October 14, 2007
This clip is so ridiculous it's beyond me. Chris Spielman gets a great gesture from the soccer folks as Brandi Chastain autographs a ball and says Chris can give it to his daughter. Oh you want this ball? You're gonna have to set a new bench press personal record!
As if I need to even say anything now........
"OOOOOOH YEAH BROTHER...........IF YOU WANT THAT BALL THROW UP SOME STEEL."

Rob Stone, Straight Pimpin' (Plus Spielman "Dropping" Knowledge)
Sunday, September 16, 2007
I'm going to say that this is possibly my favorite clip that I've ever put together. It's moments like this that only happen when you're watching OK State-Troy at midnight on a Friday night.
Background: Rob Stone is normally the on-field reporter with this team, but he's on Women's World Cup duty. I'm just guessing, but it doesn't seem like he's upset by not being in Troy, Alabama with the guys....
Wow....where do I start? Okay here are some talking points....
1. Heather Mitts.
2. Rob Stone joking on the soccer games that are coming up that morning, "Spielman I know you're fired up for Canada/Ghana at 4:45, 4:55 whatever it is...it's early."
3. The Wally Pipp reference regarding Joe Schad.
4. "Don't we have policies against that sort of stuff."- Sean McDonough, Umm.....do you?
5. Chris Spielman is like the gift that keeps on giving. "I know Lynn is probably watching happily at home, of course she's ready to drop twins any day now."
Ha, how many women out there would love for you to use the term "Dropping Twins"? I'm guessing none.
