They were showing a replay where Brad Hawpe injured his neck on a play at 2nd and had to be taken away in a neck brace. Vasgersian wants to go back to the replay and makes a joke about seeing Donovan McNabb among the EMTs. The other two guys just stare at him and there’s an awkward silence.

Not even that, but like… they just are showing this highlight and talking about how this could be a serious injury for Hawpe… and then he tells this horrible, unfunny (racist) joke? WTF?

Stay classy, Matt Vasgersian.

They should have Matt attend sensitivity training…he needs it.

What makes it worse is that he didn’t even make the joke while the video was first playing. Afterwards, he asks for them to play it again, acting as though he has a real point to make, and there’s a long pause, and then it plays….and then he makes his lame joke, which is even lamer because several seconds have passed since he thought of it.

I mean, it would be bad enough if it just slipped out, but he took some time to think about that. PATHETIC.

Even if the broadcast wasn’t live… What’s the point of saying that? I can see “ah, damn”, or “my bad” I guess, but it would make more sense to just brush it off and keep going

I’m offended that it was such a bad joke with even worse timing.

by chilibean_3 on Apr 29, 2009 12:52 PM PDT reply actions  

I wouldn't say he's racist...the guy does look slightly like McNabb at first glance

He was just trying to make a joke during a very sensitive point in time. It was a really bad joke and ill-timed, though. I’d say he’s guilty of being a moron moreso than being a racist.

by UnleashTheGore on Apr 29, 2009 1:07 PM PDT reply actions  

Well, yeah, I think the insensitivity of the joke is the real sticking point, but it’s still a really weird thing to say (and imo, if he looks like mcnabb, he looks like… mcnabb in like 20 years or so.)

I didn’t think it was racist. I thought it was a stupid thing to say at a stupid time.

by Natto on Apr 29, 2009 1:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

It sounds as if he almost refers to Brad Hawpe as Ryan Howard in the process of trying to set up the joke.

Thin white guy=Ryan Howard. For sure.

I like that the character was named after Ryan Howard when he played for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre team.

A) That doesn’t even look like Donovan McNabb
2) Billy Ripken called him on his bullshit. Sure they were chuckling to save face, because if he told Vasgersian he was being an ass on live TV the ensuing PR nightmare would be a bitch and a half, but come on.

Q: "Vasgersian" is another name for:

A. A German Knucklehead from New Jersey
B. Someone who was eliminated from the tryouts of “Last Comic Standing”
C. Not sure, but sounds like something I learned about male anatomy in Sex Ed. class
D. A Sports announcer you wouldn’t be surprised has a skeleton in his closet (e.g. Marv Albert)
E. All of the Above.

Not surprising that it came from Vasgersian, (though I am surprised he still has a job).

You would think that someone who makes a living with their mouth would have half a verbal filter, as it is fundamental to the task.
