I was on TV on Friday night...
 
...for a locally televised "Game of the Week". While the novelty of being of TV was fun, I got several calls from friends after I got home wanting to talk about the game.

My favorite comment was from the assignor who said that he heard that the camera added 10 lbs to you, but after seeing me on tv, that they must have used two and a half cameras on me. :eek:

I guess it is time to hit the treadmill...

On that rare occasion when I see someone with a camera, I ask them to get my good side, make me look tall, handsome, and miminmize the size of my schnoz! Usually I see them packing it up after that! ;)

Any clips?

Congrats stripes, that is exciting. I made it on TV for a game of the week while working football this season. It was my first Varsity game and the fifth regular game of my career. Needless to say I felt a little overwhelmed. :eek:

I'm tossing the ball and I am the last one off the court at the end...and on the clip several times in between.

Well no wonder the assigner was on your case, you're a camera hog! :D I think I recognize one of your partners as well.

I had a double whistle on that one (I was T) and I had a defensive foul, but the L had already called a PC while I just held my fist in the air to make sure we didn't blarge ourselves. We talked about the play after the game and I told my partner I had a different call. What do you do? It was over by then.

grunewar Wed Feb 06, 2008 11:47am

Stripes - I didn't see you hike up your pants once! I was sooo dissappointed!!

Gotta work on that if you want to be on TV every other day!!! :D

Hey, the out of bounds , you as lead............no stop clock signal!!!;)

Nice crowd, should be fun to watch whole game.

Not much on the last foul call under the basket....... we're a little rougher in the Chicago area!

You guys looked good!

Mark Padgett Wed Feb 06, 2008 01:13pm

Stripes, which one of the cheerleaders were you? BTW - I had a little trouble watching the video. Every time one of the officials came on camera, there was some kind of reflection. :p

Thanks for the kind words. Somehow I lost that stop clock signal...I gotta find it.

I dunno, stripes. Looks like you called an OOB without giving the raised hand first. There are those on this board who might advocate 50 lashes with a wet noodle for that one.

That is what they have been talking about - the stop clock signal. If that is the smallest thing to talk about everything is good. But who am I to talk since I don't remember the last time I used it either. :D

You guys had a lot of "And 1s" in that clip. Your partner took a call to the table where you had a whistle at C and it was your call. I'm glad to know that happens other places too.

If it is the biggest thing to talk about, then everything is good. But if it's the smallest, then you're saying that there are other bigger things that need fixing.

Personally, I could care less. :)

So this was a joke. Cause the guy tossing the ball is rail-thin!

If it makes you feel better, I think I last used that signal in 1998. That was the last time I lived in a place where someone actually cared about it.

You are still in this table as having a "healthy weight."

To me the camera must've taken off 20 pounds, then! I need to find that camera!
