My sister sent me this and I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. It's like watching a train wreck, only a funny train wreck.

Holy god that's funny. The only time he seemed with it was during the last half of the Pacers game, and even then, it's comically horrible, "Reggie Miller gets it, shoots, and it's good. [long pause] Then, he passes it to the man, and," well, you know.

Amazing.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

I've watched it several times and I still lose it every time I hear the kid say "oh, no" on live television.

Hey, that's Ohio University, my alma matter!

You mean the "oh, no" that occurs 20 seconds in? I thought that was in the script. He says some team lost, and then the "oh no."

At the end, you can tell the female anchor is trying the best she can not to laugh.

Aw, man! That was almost physically painful to watch. Maybe those guys can find careers in radio.

I look at it like this: they may have just sunk any chance they had of ever working in television again, but at least their performances will continue to bring joy into the lives of those with internet connections for many years to come! I mean, come on. Most news reports are forgotten as soon as they are aired. Not so with these. That's got to count for something.
