    Hey, that five-yard sweep play was a key moment in the game!;)

    It could be worse, though ... like video of the backside of some kid racing down the sidelines, shown as PREP HIGHLIGHT ZONE sports anchors crack their best Chris Berman puns ... :D

    Agreed.

    It's painful to watch. And I come back to sports to help out a few times a year.

    I never understood shooting from the sideline for TV. I always preferred to shoot from the press box for football or above the stands at center court/ice in basketball/volleyball/hockey. Baseball is usually hard to get above the plate or a high enough to shoot from the outfield. Then you get stuck behind third base.

    Covered a high school game the other night. Had pizza and brownies in the pressbox. An odd combination, but tasty nonetheless.

    Four out of five stoners agree.

    So yesterday he gave me a hard time because it looked like I was a little too eager to get to the concession stand at halftime.
    To him, I guess, I'm supposed to be there to work, not to eat and it looked like I cared more about eating than working.
    Does it really matter how it looks. I know I'm in public, representing the company and all that, but who cares how it looks?

    So, when did you tell him he could fuck back on?

    Remember, no one talks to him like that and gets away with it.

    What is his obsession with you and food? You may need to go to HR to get him out of your business. Man if I was in this situation I would tell off the photog and tell him I'm hungry and need food. This person has a problem. Ask him where he eats before the game? Maybe he gets a feast at home every night. Maybe he'll invite you over for dinner. Oh wait, you are actually working 60 and getting paid 40 unlike him. You can bet that photog works 40 and 40 alone.

    Tell him the hot dog you're eating will help soak up the booze you need to drink later as you try to find a usable photo ...

    Would think it's kind of becoming tedious at this point. You can tell him, f off, or say it nicely that you are going to eat and can't see why he possibly would have a problem with it; or you could eat before or after the game.
