BACK THE HELL AWAY, GUY
02.28.08I don't care if he's a former NHL coach turned hockey commentator, there's no resume Pierre McGuire could have that would make it okay to stand that close to me on national television (or more accurately: TSN, which is national TV in Canadia). He just stands at a 90 degree angle from the camera and stares at his partner from 10 inches away. It comes off like an SNL skit. Except, y'know, funny.
And right when you think, "Okay, maybe he's just someone who doesn't understand personal space," (about the 1:45 mark) he comes STRONG with the sexual innuendo to his fellow commentator. Mmmm… sports and gay innuendo. Goes together like sticks and balls.

Yup. Gay.
Hoo boy…
his head is way too small for his body. I noticed this the first time he was on sportsCENTER and it has bugged me ever since. They should make him grow hair or something.
Sorry Matt, but 1:45 mark and hockey video just does not compute. Maybe 30 second mark tops.
Whatevre. These hosres can puckre up and kiss my good old American peckre.
"You're an announcer with a long stick"
ROWR!, eh?
God, that's why I love this site. easily the best exchange I have ever heard.
"You're an announcer with a long stick, from time to time."
"And you have a big mouth"
Ace and Gary couldn't have done it better
"What's everybody looking at?"
"Ah nothing"
"Does my erection make you uncomfortable?"
Whoever did the graphics should be fired, they didnt spell one name right.
They didn't spell Center right either!
He’s no Judge Reinhold.
I kept expecting the studly bald guy to cassually (and gently) cup the other dude's balls in mid-sentence.
That coont-doon to the treh'd deh'dlahn was the moost … aah fuck it. And fuck canada.
They could both use a pair of executive raincoats.
You gotta relax the jaw, don't forget to cup the balls.
hey, we didn't even homo-eroticism between fellow commentators, we just followed the examples set out by Madden & Marv Albert. After all, us Candians doon't get oot mooch (witout ar toooques), u knoo. and if we doo it's just to copy everting u americans doo, eh?
/quietly waving his Canadian flag in the corner.
we didn't invent*
FUCK FUCK FUCK…
uhh.. war of 1812? yeah.. go with that.. SUCK IT!
/promise i'm done
I always kind of hope that it when it comes to Canadian TV talking about hockey the gay inuendo is more or less searching for funny on a slow day cause otherwise.. wtf are we doing watching canada tv about fucking hockey ….
But that ….. that was way gay.
put it in the 'awkward' hall of fame
Can I ask an honest question here? Why do American TV presenters talk to the camera instead of the person that has just asked them the question? That just doesn't happen in the UK. It's called a conversation and I'm watching it, sometimes even nodding in agreement but I know they can't see me.
Are they looking for me to get involved? It makes me feel awkward. I didn't ask the question, stop talking to me. Makes me want to cry.
THeir eyes… STOP LOOKING AT ME!!!!
