The world's sweatiest Canadian TV reporter gets funky with the Saints. |
Well not to worry, ignorant and uninvited masses. Riptide is here to shatter those dreams.
Imagine, instead, an airless room packed way beyond fire code with grotesquely sweaty camera men and TV reporters pancaked with makeup screaming hysterically for attention, while dead-eyed football players recite dull cliches they memorized on the bus.
There are mustachioed hand puppets, airports-at-Thanksgiving-level security lines and insanely dressed Telemundo stars. Chris Berman is in attendance.
Be thankful, then, that we braved the ninth circle of NFL hell known as Media Day at Sun Life Stadium and came away -- barely -- with these photo lowlights. Click through if you dare.

Britto teepeed the stadium! Call the cops! I think he hit the mailbox out front with a bat on the way out.

There is apparently something called the "Hawaii 5-0 News Network." This man works for said network. Yes, the ponytail is in the job description.

Is this the equivalent of Spring Training hazing, but for camera guys? Or do we just have a Hello Kitty fan in the house?

And reporting for High Times ... (Hey, they gave us a press pass.)

Signs you are not attending the height of journalistic achievement, non-Ochocinco Division: This mustachioed puppet got ten times more interviews than we did.

Should Saints fans be worried that their kicker looks exactly like that stumpy lead singer from Sum 41? Let's go with "YES"

When your moustache-growing puppet can't land the interview, it's time to send in the sexy cowgirl reporter. We love you, Telemundo.
