Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

Vasgersian at the San Diego Slam

I was watching the WSU vs. SDSU basketball game on Channel 4.  Matty V. was doing the play by play.  At one point an SDSU player scores.  I think it was Spain.  Anyway Vasgersian yells "that's what you get when he comes to the paint BEEYOTCH!"

Could I have heard that right?  Did he really just say that?  Then as if to confirm.  You can tell Matty has turned off his mic, but his voice is heard bleeding through his partners open mic. "Don't worry Tom, nobody is watching anyway."

That's where you are wrong Vasgersian!  I was watching!  I got you NOW!... BEEYOTCH!

Update [2005-12-12 16:27:33 by jbox]:

I emailed Channel 4 asking for a comment from them:

Dear jbox,

Thank you for your interest in Channel 4 San Diego and for visiting our web site. During the San Diego SLAM event broadcast on our station, Matt Vasgersian did make the comment you are referring to, after an exciting play. It was said in jest. Unfortunately the comment afterwards that he made to Tom Ceterski, the director of San Diego Slam, did bleed through Jim Brogan's microphone and was not meant to be aired. We apologize if this has offended you in any way.

Thanks for watching!

Channel 4 San Diego

I replied, "No problem dudes, I thought it was funny."

hilarious and true
If he did that all the time I might actually watch a basketball game.... BEYOTCH!!!

I can't wait till we get choices in coverage on all sports where you could get uncensored analysis and play by play. I say let Matty keep up those comments and you'll see the ratings soar! At least by one.

I'm getting emails from upper management
They are going to make sure this type of thing doesn't happen again. I tried to convince them that I wasn't offended and thought it was funny. Let's put it this way. If Matty is fired in the offseason, it's probably my fault... gulp!

If he gets fired
then  you must hire him as a Gaslamp correspondant

getting fired
That wouldn't be bad for Vasgersian. He was considered a top candidate for the WGN gig, remember? If he could get out of his contract with San Diego, he'd be getting paid three times as much in a huge market.

He's waiting
...for Vinny to retire, just up the freeway.
