This is why I can't stand most Talking Heads

Go to Redskins.com, click the video: Redskins Nation Redskins NFL Draft Board 4/9.

What's wrong with this picture (hint: 1:00-1:18 and 1:42). I watched it three times to make sure I wasn't reading it wrong or not hearing it correctly?

If you don't know where a guy went to school, how the F are you doing a scouting breakdown on him.......and these guys are getting paid bucks to do this stuff!!!!

:frusty:

I don't know anything about the media business....how in the hell does something like this happen and not get caught by an editor or someone, similar to JLaC's 4WR/2TE sets?

Wow, for a second I thought I was watching ESPN!

BigHairedAristocrat · 04-09-2010, 01:45 PM

Theres nothing wrong with 4WR/2TE sets as long as one of those guys receives the snap from the center

That's pretty funny. Asamoah went to Illinois, right?

Good job CSN!

Someone probably accidentally wrote Iowa in one place and then that gets populated everywhere (the script, the teleprompter, the full screen) I think this show is taped right? So the error should have been caught. The show director is primarily the one responsible for catching that.

But at the end of the day, it's an error. An unfortunate error.

Makes sense. What that error exposes is the level of knowledge of these guys....which obviously ain't real good. LOL.

SmootSmack · 04-09-2010, 05:08 PM

Not necessarily. I mean I know guys in the business who really have no clue what they are talking about. Like if you removed the teleprompter, or gave them no script to look at they'd be totally lost. There are other guys who don't need any of it. But even those guys can slip up sometime.

Sometimes people just get into a rhythm reading and they just gloss over something like Iowa instead of Illinois. Doesn't mean they don't know, it's just an oversight when reading.

Sometimes there's nothing more to the story than they made a mistake

That's how we roll in D.C.

Hey Greg.. how do you spell Illinois? I-L-L-A.. no..

Fuck it Bobby, just put IOWA!

SmootSmack · 04-09-2010, 05:19 PM

Having been the guy in the past to create those full screens I know that it's not hard to make an error sometimes. It's a lot of things going on at once and really the only thing here is that it I don't believe the show was live. When I did these my shows were live, so that's my excuse.
