Option 2
At some point throughout the season, Weston was invited to do play-by-play for a local basketball team as Atlantic Canada tries to re-establish itself as being able to handle a solid C or D-tier basketball league. In the process of this, he managed to make a bit of a fool out of himself. Sure, he knows the basics: what a two-pointer, a three-pointer, and what it means to 'block' something, but other than that, he knew nothing. He spent about half an hour playing a basketball game before hopping on the air. Boom goes the dynamite? Well, not quite. But, he did refer to screens as 'body checks', lay ups as 'soft dunks', and alley-oops as 'hey, isn't that cheating?' On top of that, when the rules of 'traveling' were explained to him, he went on to assume that nearly every other play was traveling. That wound up going viral, as some basketball fans found it a breath of relief -- given professional players get unusual leeway with that. Other people just found it annoying. By the time he went off the air, he was complaining about players throwing off their aim by jumping during shots, and claiming slam dunks seemed like 'showboating.' Needless to say, he was not invited back. |
