This from Glen Gower’s blog….to funny not to post:
The Scoreboard Laws
Eight rules for video scoreboard operators, from scoreboard guru Paul Shubin:
- When your team is losing, everything on the scoreboard is unacceptable.
- A commercial of 15 seconds duration takes longer than 15 seconds to produce.
- Agencies only deliver their material on the day of the game.
- The more bulbs there are in a scoreboard, the faster you will spot the one that is burnt out.
- The only time a game goes to triple overtime is on the evening you’ve scheduled a special outing.
The more outrageous the activity, the more cameras there were that failed to capture it.
- The crazy fan who’s dancing like a fool will stop as soon as you put him on camera.
- The better the replay, the more likely you can’t show it.
I love number two.
