Boom Goes The Dynamite

One of the ideas for creating a sports blog of any sort is to share things with your readership, no matter how small, that amuse them. Well, I realized we'd never posted this video below here and you've no doubt seen it by now since it's been on YouTube for a long time. However, if you haven't seen it, you're in for a treat.

I don't care how many times I've watched this -- it's like a really bad car wreck that you just cannot look away from...only better, because nobody is potentially dead.

This clearly was Indianapolis news so maybe boilerdowd can clue us in to what the hell is going on here...was this an intern? A practical joke? Whatever it was, it's awfully painful to watch.

What's amazing is how easily flustered this kid is. I mean, I screw up all the time and there are probably more people watching me in my office than there are watching the news in Indiana! (Okay, come on, that was kind of funny. No? Okay.)

I'm not certain of my favorite part since there are so many to choose from, but I dare say it might be this amalgamation of lines, delivered as one at around the one minute mark:

"Hoosiers are on the four on...on the year... and they have won six of its last seven games tomorrow will be the game three at three PM."
Read that again slowly and understand that I transcribed it word-for-word. Wow, it's lik ehe's having a minor stroke and is trying to speak through it. Perhaps the best part is that he's talking about Ball State and says "Hoosiers." Or maybe it's that he transitions with, "Moving to Ball State men's tennis," as though he was just talking about women's tennis when it was, evidently, men's baseball.

You just know going into this he was excited to use his shiny, new catchphrase, "Boom goes the dynamite," and he manages to use it, although it's hard to tell if he's watching the same highlights we're seeing.

Good stuff and worth your time for the laughter you'll get.

Hey East Coast boy- Why would you assume this is Indianapolis news? Because there are no other cities in Indiana? It's actually from a newscast taped at Ball State, I believe. They've got a pretty good journalism school and he was stepping in. I believe he was a student at the time who usually didn't appear in front of the camera, filling in for the regular. His fantastic sportscast earned him a spot on Letterman (also a Ball State guy).

Yeah, I figured it was something like that since the anchors look young, too...

Why did I originally think it was Indy? Well, the mention of Ball State, Hoosiers, Pacers... I know, crazy talk.

Plus that looks like what I remember as the news out there. But then, I am not very smart. S-M-R-T.

I like when he mispronounces each name of the All-Americans.

I like when he's just dead silent for like 10 seconds.

I like when it's over and the other two are like, "Thanks for that news" and he's like "yep, yep."

I like when he sort of gets it together every once in a while but quickly falls apart.

This is pretty much the greatest video of all-time.

Just like a nasty car wreck - I want to turn away, but I can't. It is just sooooo painful.
