Genius of Fox Sports

[cb32863]

Yeah, this guy is a doing the sport no good at all. No, I do not think he is being "funny".... just stoopid... Though, I guess he is trying to be amusing??? Anyway, draw your own conclusions...

A little research maybe..... consider the source as well.

Ugh. Indicative of most "journalism" today.
Did enjoy the one comment about "narca" terrorists.

 

[rgranger]

Stupid(sp).
Now thats funny!

I do have to say that even NBC's sailing coverage has been terrible. I have been recording the events to watch at night, and they have still not shown a complete race. I can see 3 sets of table tennis live, but not one complete sailing event?

Chris Chase and Jackdaw need to sit down and have a heart to heart conversation.

Is there an emoticon for Face Palm?

Come on guys! Y'all don't see the humor in this? I looked up Chris Chase. Seems like he makes a living with his style of "journalism." Consider the source.

I'm sure one of those boats is just a cruiser trying to get across.

Oh snap!

You can't fix stupid even my 10 yr old can tell ya. You can't sail directly into the wind

'Bout time we got us some humor 'round here.

Oh I could. I've heard of him. I'm pretty sure it would get nowhere. Its his business to be confrontational. And kinda block-headed.

Trust me, know the type. Its kinda like wrestling with a pig. You both get covered with crap. Only thing is, the pig enjoys it.

That guy's an idiot. He thinks he's witty..... because he doesn't understand that sailboat racing is all about stealing the wind of the other boat or preventing the other boat from stealing yours.

Probably why the ratings are so low.

His stock in trade is to rile up the exploitable by poking fun at their sacred cows.
And it works.....

I think Wikileaks should look into all these wind thieves.

This one was more fun!

Somebody posted it 4 years ago and it's worth repeating.

OMG! Chris Chase, I remember the bashing he took when he blogged on Yahoo Sports. I was one of the many bashers. The dude had a Tom Brady bro-mance or something.....he loved that guy. I thought he changed careers!. Goes to show you that you can be a bad journalist and still keep a job as long as you get attention....good or bad. I posted a comment on Yahoo that I bet $10,000 that he is fired before the end of the year. He left 2 months later......didn't know he went on to better his career! Geeeeez

I agree with the poor coverage by NBC....I've seen 1/4 race in very light winds and it was boring......their coverage I mean..
I think I'll go sailing this afternoon and have my own regatta....the coverage will be excellent and exciting for everyone. Pat

That was funny. Annoying, but funny.
