Beer Cell live at the arena nba playoffs pal steve terry tate
Last night I was watching one of the pre-game shows for the NBA playoffs. The only problem was I couldn’t really focus or pay attention to what the so called “experts” were saying.
You want to know why?
The broadcast was shot live at the arena in the middle of the main concourse.
Four or five middle aged, beer belly sportin’ dudes were about as happy as a little school child in time for recess.
I spent the entire seven minutes of the segment watching these four of five middled aged, beer belly sportin’ dudes bouncing up and down in the background of the camera shot with a cell phone in hand.
I forgot how much this irritates me everytime I witness it. Which for a normal sports fan, is nearly on a daily basis.
Now there are a lot of things that irritate me about cell phones and what people do while talking on cell phones.
Watching middle aged men bobbing their head up and down in the background of a camera shot with cell phone clutched to their ear is one of them.
It’s like their 15 seconds of fame has just arrived and they can’t wait to tell their pal “Steve” about it.
They’re like deer in headlights, although they’re actually excited about getting ran over.
Which brings up a good point. How about hiring a Terry Tate knockoff to bodyslam every dude that acts like they died and went to heaven when they’re caught in the background of a sports shot?
How about creating cell phones that would blow up the second someone tried to call their friend or (even worse), their girlfriend the moment they knew they were on live TV?
I’m getting a little graphic here aren’t I?
Please tell me I’m not the only one here who hates seeing this at live sporting events?
Please tell me you’re getting sick of this. Now if the two fine looking ladies above were caught on camera, that would completely change my opinion on this matter. But every time it’s dudes!
If anyone can prove me wrong with an example of a girl doing the same exact thing on television I’ll take it back.
But it’s always middle aged, beer belly sportin’ dudes…

There is a special section at Chase Field in Arizona where people pay thousands of dollars to sit directly behind home plate at the Diamonback games. You’d think that with the money they pay they’d be hardcore baseball fans, but it’s usually a bunch of women who aren’t paying attention to the game accompanied by a bunch of men who seem to be only hardcore CELLPHONE fans. It’s very annoying, but it also gave me a great idea for a money making venture. Why not start a satellite channel where people pay money to be on the channel? For say maybe $5K you could purchase 5 minutes of airtime on the channel, and during that 5 minutes you get on your cellphone and call all your friends and tell them to turn to “The Cellphone Guy Network”, and then he can wave at them to his heart’s delight. I don’t know what such a venture would cost to air, but they’d be making $60K an hour without having to hire actors or seek sponsors. It would HAVE to work, right?

Haha I like the idea Brent. You might be on to something. Are you sure you’re not Donald Trump?
