TCOTD: Overheard at sporting events

laughing.jpgZach 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.
