[Snuffy]

Trying to figure out the names of the Tiger announcers.  Kirk Gibson does not talk much, but love his content.  He is NEW - was drafted a few days ago to finish the season the the booth.

....Reportedly, a disagreement erupted over a chair in the broadcast booth. Allegedly, Impemba turned around to leave, and Allen violently choked him from behind.....

I've gotten pretty mad at people at work. I can't think of a time when I ever contemplated chocking a guy from behind when he turned his back to leave the room.

How do things get *that* tense calling a baseball game on the radio? What possible stress could that involve to get you worked up to the point of assault?

[Knoxbanedoodle]

They’re the TV guys. Detroit’s radio guys are contentless yokels who loooooove each other and spend most of every game enthusiastically agreeing.

Fuck Kirk Gibson.

Lumbar support is very, very important to some folks.

I read an article about this a week or two ago. I believe it said they had been working together for 17 years... I wonder in which year their relationship started going south.

So once upon a time there was a weekly conference replete with presentations and question/answer sessions with the big wigs.

The was one flash drive shared among many.   That day's presenter had his slides on the drive , but the drive was in the possession of another guy who needed it the preceding day.  Tense messages exchanged, clock is ticking,  and hothead 1 arrives with the flash drive in hand,  hothead 2 immediately stands,  hothead 1 goes nose to nose and says "here,  now stick it up your ass!!"  Hothead 2 is a Miami native of Cuban descent,  about 6 feet tall and played linebacker at his high school in Miami.  Hothead 2 is of Irish descent and was a boxer growing up probably 5'10" 180#.

They were both beet red with anger and their knuckles were white from clenched fists. They were separated,  cooled down, and things went on as normal.

All that happened with about 30 people in the room.

I've seen a few punch ups in the workplace, things get tense when you're railroading.

At a previous job we had a hard time convincing the execs to sponsor a company softball team.  They finally did, and when we got pretty good we were constantly encouraging these same folks to come out and enjoy a game or two.  Finally, the CEO and a veep decide to come on out, only to watch as two of our players got in fistfight literally right in front of the bleachers.

there had to be underlying problems leading up to the tiger fight.   sounds like a simpsons episode
