There was a suggestion on deadspin.com that the Vernon Wells guy I linked to was actually a paid employee of the Blue Jays. I . . . don't really have the words to express how disappointed I am to live in a time where everything needs a fucking hype machine attached to it. Not to get Yoda on you, but things either are, or they are not. Having some dumbass faux-enthusiast giving your event or news broadcast or whatever the monster truck rally treatment doesn't make it anything but what it is.
I can totally see your thinking yerfatma. But I think this is cool. This guy isn't harming anything. He hypes everyone up, helps people have a good time, get's people into it, helps people laugh. And it gives a seemingly cool guy a cool job we're all jealous of.
Mercenary cheerleading, ha ha , I wish ida thunk of it!
How bad are Americans at supporting their own teams that they need people like this? Or even people like this.
We don't have people like that in Britain... we have people like this, who go to cricket matches dressed as RAF pilots because... it was the hottest day of the year? OK, I don't know why they do it. Maybe because no one would expect it.
My old high school could use this guy. Too many noses in the air to watch the game.
I snickered when I read that the Los Angeles Kings hired this professional fan. The joke writes itself.
Upon reading this story, I have to bust my buddy Spitztengle's chops a bit.
I would have hated this guy even without learning that he actually gets paid that much money to do this.
And who needs the services of a professional cheerleader more than a fox, in his sport with the hounds?
At least Hughes admits that he has never worked a day in his life. How many athletes will admit to that?
This is what I should have done after school. Damn this 'software' crap.
Caffeine and Mountain Dew, eh? Put them together, and you'd get, er, Mountain Dew.
