Andy's Nuggets on Hiatus, SNY Broadcasters are No Good, and The Time Lapse Clip Guy

A quick note from Andy:

"Andy's Nuggets of Wisdom is in 'Operation Shutdown' while all my TV shows finish up, and I get ready for the [Eric] Steinberg to invade Pennsylvania. I'm sure I'll get some good stuff from that visit!!!"

Speaking of Eric, he mentioned to me that he, too, would like a weekly feature... something along the lines of "Things I Don't Understand". Hopefully, we'll see something from him in the near future.

I enjoy that I can watch the Phillies when they are playing the Mets, but the broadcasters on SportsNet New York (SNY) drive me nuts. They are the biggest "homers" I've ever listened to. I believe that a sportscaster can be passionate without being terribly biased. And when the bias is toward the teams I don't like, that makes it worse. I'll admit that Merrill Reese (the Eagles radio broadcaster) is a bit of a homer, but at least he's a great radio voice. I don't have much of a point here, but now that the Phillies/Mets game is in the 15th inning (and still going), I've had my fair share of these two TV clowns...

- Follow up on the time lapse clip from the Apple Store. I was curious, and I slowed the clip down to the frames where the guy shows up with several posterboards. First one says, "Uschi Lang" and then "I Love You", and finally, "Will You Marry Me?" I want to know how this guy knew that there was, what seems to be, a discrete camera outside of the store, and why would his girlfriend be watching this thing at an early morning hour? Looks to be about 6-7am when the guy shows up. Gotta wonder...

That's it for tonight...
