This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.
I watched that as it happened last night! Wow! He looked like he was going to cry!! LOL!!
ESPN Radio had a quote from him and he said that it was "instinct" to go after the ball as it was rolling towards the sidelines.
Let me tell you, he's full of crap. I'm on the sidelines every game and when the ball comes towards me, I'm moving the other way because with that ball a couple of 300 pound guys follow.
Idiot.

Either 300 pounders or some lightning fast backs who don't care if they turn you into a grease spot on the turf so long as they impress their coaches.
Done the sideline thing too. Watch the ball. If it comes at you, go elsewhere. Doesn't matter if it's in someone's hands or not, be somewhere else and do it quickly!

And another rule...never, ever turn your back to the field. You just might get smushed.

They forgot to tell me that rule. Maybe the guys in the booth were secretly after me and that's why I got sideline duty. They were trying to get me killed and make it look like an accident.
Another rule should be "stay way away from the pylons, even though you can be close to them... they are magnets for that silly, oblong ball and those who come with it". I had to run away from a play that came at me when I was too close to them.
And you're always told that you are insured, the equipment is not, so protect it at all costs. I got that lecture before hitting the field one time.

What kinda' fly-by-night operation doesn't insure its equipment?
Isn't that the very definition of, "cost of doing business"?
Methinks you have a high deductible.
