Boom Goes His Career in Broadcasting

If you felt bad for Ben Stiller's character in Meet the Parents then I suggest you don't watch this clip. For everyone else, this is one of the funniest things I've seen on the internet recently.

The College Sports Reporter

Did you see that kids ears light up like a cross between Dumbo and Rudolph? They were almost as red as the Colonel's stomach after that 30' belly flop (video coming soon).

I mean how could this guy not do well, he obviously has all the basic broadcasting skills:

  • Sweaty palms....check
  • sweet teleprompter skills....check
  • quality segment to segment transitions....check
  • solid paper shuffling skills....check
  • catchy highlight phrases....check (or should I say "Boom")
  • willing to express his attraction to professional atheletes....check
  • Shatner-like dramatic pauses....check
  • ability to talk in a way that makes viewers believe their media player is skipping.....check
  • no problem apologizing for on the air suckitude....check
  • look of complete and utter hopelessness....double check

In a related story, a Ball State college sophomore was found dead, hanging from a camera boom. Although it appears to be a suicide, police are not ruling out foul play. College officials were not available for comment.
