Nov. 30th, 2006 12:16 pmWow, so you think it's been long enough since my last update? This one won't have a lot of substance either, since I have a ton of studying to do for a Psych test in like two and a half hours, but I had to post while it was fresh in my memory.
In my sports management class today, we had a sportscaster come in to speak to us. I'm not gonna give his name, on the highly, highly remote-to-nonexistant chance that my posting his casual remarks could get him in trouble, but he's been in his field for a while and he's covered lots of local stuff. In Maine, the Boston teams are local.
A few anecdotes:
* Curt Schilling is a dick. I know, huge shocker, right? But our sportscaster grabbed him for a quick interview on the field after the Red Sox won the World Series and said something like, "Hey, Curt, you just won the World Series!", which is not an atypical thing to say in a sports interview. And Schill looks at him and goes, "Is that a question or a comment?" Our sportscaster explained to us that Schilling knows by now how the press game is played, and there's no need to be like that. So our sportscaster puts on his best and shinest sarcastic smile and voice and says, "Okay, Curt, how does it feel to win the World Series?" Schilling: "Blah blah blah." Our sportscaster: "Okay. *walks off*" Normally he'd ask six or seven questions, but he wasn't gonna take that crap. I just wish I could see Schilling's face at getting blown off by some guy from Maine.
* A direct quote: "Manny is a moron." Our sportscaster is as sick of all the endless hype every six months as anyone else.
* In news that is probably not news to anyone who follows the Patriots, Bill Belichick is impossible to interview. No matter what the situation, he gives the press nothing but the most "generically vanilla" quotes to ever exist. Nobody in the press really likes to bother him because it's a waste of time.
* Tom Brady is as nice as his image. Our sportscaster fairly gushed about him. He joked that it's almost a little creepy: "How can someone that good be that nice?" This is probably also not news.
Nothing earthshattering there, just some fun little bits I thought I'd share with you. It was an enjoyable talk, and when I went up to him after (in my Tigers hat) and thanked him, he even said he was sorry about the World Series. Which I am still not ready to talk about, which could partially explain my lack of posting, because what else do I talk about?
Okay. It is time to study. Maybe someday I'll catch you all up a little.
