TCOTD: Overheard at sporting events
Posted on November 18th, 2008 – 12:10 PMBy Michael Rand
Zach T. sends in your Commenter Talker Of the Day, and it’s a good one. A name will be redacted to create a fun game: e-mail us with the person you think was the culprit, and the first one with the correct answer will get a guest post. Here we go:
I was reading your first post this morning and it immediately made me think of a Timberwolves-Bobcats game I happened to attend a couple of years ago. During a fast break [name redacted] happened to notice the ethnicity of the man guarding him. He quickly began to shout, “Get me the ball, there’s a white guy guarding me! A white guy!” My friends and I instantly cracked up upon hearing this. I thought it might be entertaining to hear what other funny/interesting quotes other commenters have heard from athletes/coaches/referees while attending games.
So yeah, we throw that out there with a little trepidation and a lot of hope. Be good. Be funny. Be tasteful.

One time, I heard KG say [redacted]. Then he followed it up with [redacted][redacted]. Then he told the ref[redacted]. And the ball boy [redacted].
Ricky Davis. I have no doubt I’m right.

TCOTD = “Talker Commenter of The Day”?
Barack Obama?
Is there any doubt that Wally was the player pretending to play defense?
I second the Marth.
Barack Obama?
Shut up, Kersten.
OK, some on and off topic notes:
Stu, TMQ calls out Five Guys about their mayonnaise. Summary: eat this mayo, hear your arteries stop.
Rand, whoever “afe.specificclick.net” is, their slowing down your blog to a ridonkulous degree. Tell your webmaster to lower the timeout or something.
Jon, you are absolutely right.
Vince Carter onced said that when he was playing for the Raptors. Wally was guarding him and he said that they better get this white boy off me, I am about to drop 40.
Matthew: I appreciate Gregg Easterbrook’s warning, but he lost me when he blamed it on Hollywood Jews.
When I was 9 years old, I went to a WWF house show in 1991 with my dad. I remember one of the Bushwhackers getting the crap beat out of him, and JUST missing getting a tag to his partner. The partner turns to the audience behind him (where we were) and yells “[redacted]!!” as loud as he can. No idea if this counts for anything but it was hilarious.
Off Topic
Did anyone see that Jason Bartlett got a 5th place vote for AL MVP? If that doesn’t lead to a recount I don’t know what will.

Gritty.
jama- that’s downright silly, but it’s not as bad as Lew Ford actually receiving a vote in 2004.
in regards to that NBA quote, I’ll go out on a limb and give it to Troy Hudson.
even though he didn’t ever play for the Bobcats, I’m daydreaming that Dikembe Mutombo yelled that. Try it, it’s fun.
Easterbrook’s still working?
In the early days of the Metrodome Wolves I managed to finagle press passes to a few games. (Like, how difficult was it for a film reviewer to get Wolves’ press passes those days? Not…).
Since the crowd was sparse you could hear everything, especially courtside. Musselman, Jerry Sloan and Bernie Bickerstaff were the saltiest. But the worst was when I accidentally walked into Musselman’s office after a close loss (to Sloan). While he was changing his clothes. He let out such a profanity-laced tirade I ran out of the dressing and onto the court and shot hoops until I knew he left the building.
Miss that guy.
Was the quote from the ‘Stache Adam Morrison?
I gotta go with T-Hud on this one. He is “Rich as a B#@*h” and the “Chief of the Midwest,” and there isn’t a white man alive who can contain that swagger.
So, does the T-wolves ticket site really need 2 scrambled passwords to protect them from people automatically buying tickets?
They should only require a breathalyzer.
Easterbrookâs still working?
If you want to call it that.
The first thing I thought of when I saw the picture was Bonsai Kittens!
