This Didn't Go Over Well: Iowa Sportscaster Slams NDSU Before Iowa State Game

((HT: WHO-TV/96.5TheFox))

If anyone understands the value of the face and heel relationship, it's the HQ...

So, Week 1 is always reserved for the paycheck games mostly... and a lot of folks in the midwest stared at North Dakota State visiting Iowa State as one of those games that was supposed to be chance for the Clones to get the duke. NDSU lost their head coach Craig Bohl to Division I- even as one of the powerhouse schools in I-AA they still had a lot of losses to graduation.

And this came across the airwaves in Des Moines, courtesy of Andy Fales and WHO-TV
Fales wasn't a fan of this game being played period.


A lot of good that did as NDSU pounded Iowa State by 20.

The HQ gives Fales credit for fanning the flames and waving the flag for the home team- even if he was way off...

A "Game of Thrones" Sportscast For You

((HT: Awful Announcing/WREX-TV))

Okay...

The HQ will admit that we don't get the whole "Game of Thrones" thing...
Never watched an episode, don't feel like we're missing anything because we don't get the whole magical, mystery thing- or, at least, we haven't since we stopped playing Dungeons and Dragons in high school...

But, Dan Cohen of WREX-TV in Rockford, Illinois dropped some of his GoT knowledge on us...
Didn't OD on it... just let it happen...


That'll work, sir...
May your House flourish with the warmth of those around you...

Big Frank Does Sports... Unconventionally...

((HT: The Coastal Source))

The "Big Guy," Friend of OSG Frank Sulkowski was part of a charity event the other night...

And dressed the part for Savannah AMBUCS...

So, since the winning bid for his outfit was substantial, Frank decided to go ahead and take the next step...
Since, it probably would have taken too long to get back in anchor clothes after the event was over...

Here's the sportscast...
Watch at your own peril...

Now, we introduce "Rap Cast"


Carry on, Lefkoe...
