NDN Sports: Clank! Clank!

Clank! Clank!

I realize that TV networks put microphones near the rims to record all the action going on near the rim as well as the swish of the net or the clank of the rim. But every missed shot in the Georgetown-UMBC game is overpowering. I hope the commentators don't hear that in their headphones, because they'll be legally deaf after this game.
Sounds like someone whacking the side of a piece of sheet metal with an aluminum baseball bat.

SheilaM said...: That's OK. That's quality commentary, especially from a guy who might be legally deaf, at least according to one of our co-workers.; March 21, 2008 at 5:19 PM

MAHNA MAHNA! de dee de deedee; March 21, 2008 at 5:21 PM
Rick Grosvenor said...: I'm not deaf. Or am I? Quick, somebody say something.; March 21, 2008 at 5:21 PM
Rick Grosvenor said...: That reminds me of an obscure Simpsons dialogue that only Paul, and maybe Scott, will get:
"Did you hear something?"
"No."
"Did I?"

Name those characters!; March 21, 2008 at 5:23 PM
Cheryl said...: I hope your not deaf but you always did have selective hearing.

Hey Paul, how about the Wiggles "Fruit Salad"? That was my nieces favorite song and it still haunts me!; March 21, 2008 at 5:26 PM
SheilaM said...: OMG, is that Scott's mom?
Hi, Scott's mom!; March 21, 2008 at 5:27 PM
SheilaM said...: Or is that Josh's mom? Sorry I'm mixing up my sports guys moms. You can't take me anywhere (good thing I'm home)!; March 21, 2008 at 5:28 PM
Cheryl said...: Josh's mom. I'm sure he's thrilled.

Hi Sheilam; March 21, 2008 at 5:29 PM

just for fun... what was Comic Book guy's real name again? :); March 21, 2008 at 5:29 PM
Anonymous said...: Please, don't start with the fruit salad. My mother-in-law loves to irritate me by singing that. I hate those Wiggles so much...; March 21, 2008 at 5:30 PM
Rick Grosvenor said...: Hi mom. Welcome to the blog.
It's a good group consisting of myself, my two bosses and Paul Halon.

CBG's real name is Jeff Robertson.; March 21, 2008 at 5:30 PM
SheilaM said...: Hi Josh's mom! Thanks for joining us on the blog. We'll try not to embarrass him too badly (and for the record, it was Scott that a co-worker thinks is deaf. They both have selective hearing :); March 21, 2008 at 5:31 PM

Rick Grosvenor said...: I have no idea what the Wiggles are ... and I'd prefer to keep it that way.; March 21, 2008 at 5:31 PM
Scott Barrett said...: Ms. Krueger, you have no idea how happy I am that you're here. I took quite the ribbing from your son about my parents leaving comments on my stories. Please overdo it telling us about how great Josh is.; March 21, 2008 at 5:34 PM
Rick Grosvenor said...: I embarrass myself plenty without anyone's help. Although (check out the smooth transition back to basketball) so far my tournament picks haven't been too embarrassing.; March 21, 2008 at 5:34 PM
Cheryl said...: Hi everyone. I'll try not to embarrass him to badly either.

Hi Josh! Hi Paul! Hi Josh's two bosses!

The Wiggles are obnoxious. I was glad she grew out of them.

Anyway, nobody thinks Marquette or Wisconsin will get to the Final Four?; March 21, 2008 at 5:35 PM
Rick Grosvenor said...: No, this isn't right. She has to do it anonymously on the NDN Web site, like your mom, cousins, aunts and uncles and whoever else sang your praises during the Super Bowl.; March 21, 2008 at 5:35 PM
Cheryl said...: OK, I'm just really bored because it's snowing like crazy here and I can't go do anything so I thought I'd bug my favorite son for a bit.; March 21, 2008 at 5:37 PM
SheilaM said...: By favorite do you mean only? (My mom pulls that one on me); March 21, 2008 at 5:39 PM

Anonymous said...: just for the record, Josh is also the son that Mom likes the least...; March 21, 2008 at 5:39 PM
Cheryl said...: OK Paul, that's cheating, you know too much!

By the way, how's the family?; March 21, 2008 at 5:40 PM
SheilaM said...: sorry for the multiple posts ... my computer must be slow ...
I'll be more patient from now on!; March 21, 2008 at 5:41 PM
Rick Grosvenor said...: Two new threads to check out on the main page. Ignore Scott's and go right to mine.; March 21, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Anonymous said...: We're good. The boys just turned 3 and 1 in February and Sarah cut her hair short...; March 21, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Cheryl said...: You sure have your hands full then. My friends boys just turned 3 and 1. That's a fun age if you have enough energy.; March 21, 2008 at 5:46 PM
Cheryl said...: Yes, my one and only son and firstborn.; March 21, 2008 at 6:02 PM
