So we logged into Bill Simmons' column on May 11, 2010, as we typically do on every other day, and what did we find? Check out this gem...WE are the 'local TV people'!!
Heck...we've been called a LOT worse!
THE TORCHY'S AWARD FOR BEST SOUND OF A RECORD SCREECHING TO A HALT
At halftime, I did an interview with two local TV people in which I joked about the O-Rena cougar scene and added, "No wonder Tiger got into so much trouble!" Both guys reacted like Scientologists at an L. Ron Hubbard roast: horrified and even a little fearful. They told me they'd have to edit the joke out. Apparently Tiger jokes go over about as well in Orlando as O.J. jokes did in Brentwood circa 1994. Who knew?
(With that said … again … no wonder Tiger got into so much trouble! I don't think living in the Cougar Capital of the United States, in retrospect, was the best place for a horny celebrity who got married too soon to set up shop.)
Don't worry, Bill...we wanted to keep rolling with it. Dewberry, our producer, always has our best interest in mind though.
For those that missed the show, see the clip below this post...GO MAGIC! ~ G
