So the Redskins won a nailbiter yesterday. A defensive penalty on the last play of the game game them field position to kick a field goal on one last untimed down, which barely made it through the uprights. A great ending. Shortly after the game ended, they did a teaser for the local news. Here’s what they said in the teaser (paraphrased):
White Guy Anchor: What an amazing game. Fox 5 will recap the game from start to end.
Black Lady Anchor: We’ll also stop by the locker room for the reaction from Coach Gibbs and the players.
White Guy Anchor: And the fans were out in full force. We’ll have their reaction as well.
Black Lady Anchor: Oh yeah, and Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death today. We’ll cover that, too.
Shows where the priorities are in local news. Not that I was expecting much, but it was so surreal I just wanted to share.
Was the lady Renee Poussant?
Gee, I hope they asked Saddam for his thoughts on the game. :rolleyes:
“I am outraged by the phony death sentence from this puppet government, but I am even more outraged that the invader referee called Kosier for a 15-yard facemask when the contact was clearly unintentional. That game was even more rigged than my genocide trial.”
You must be lying. If it was a Fox affiliate, they would have an update on American Idol before moving to Saddam.
They probably would, if they didn’t do American Idol during the off-season.
Well, really, Ray Charles coulda seen Saddam’s death sentence coming a mile away. That farce they billed as a “trial” was every bit as booked as Hogan over Andre at Wrestlemania 3. It’s just not a huge shocking story…and the Cowboys got screwed on the 15 yard facemask call. Can’t say I blame them for the teaser on a local news program focusing on the game.
