Got a nice note from John from Playing for Peanuts. Â Since I’m finishing off connecting wires at Newly Refurbished Mets Police HQ and I’m about to go on a media blackout so I can watch soccer at night (never waste sunshine and warmth on television. Â Never. Oh and ABC should just stream the darn game on ESPN3.) …where was I…oh yeah John sent me a note and in the interest of time, Control-V is cut and paste:
The media reports made it seem like wally ran upstairs and assaulted the broadcaster in a rage. we had video to prove he walked up, waited for a few minutes till the postgame show was over and then he dropped some F-bombs, turned around and left. he wasn’t physically confrontational and the GM didn’t break up a fight… in hindsight it seems like a trivial thing, but that incident was misreported and no one was interested in seeing the footage of what really happened, until now.
just wanted to point that out. i agree with you – it wasn’t something i ever wanted to see or get involved in, but it happened and i feel like i should at least try to explain what was actually happening before/during/after…
i put up all the videos relating to the incident here:Â http://playingforpeanuts.com/
that video player has fan reactions (positive and negative), wally’s thoughts immediately after the ejection, etc.
keep up the great work! your blog is great.
