yep long bump.kinda interesting how the social media aspect has moved on since the thread was started.The final nbc fan event is in Philadelphia april 4th 5th,Dilworth park if ya know the city? It'll be mobbed we play city! Oh yeah wonder if the guy who started the thread still works at NBC!
Only with this post did I notice the whole deal wasn't new. Yes there is a strong audience-participation theme for NBC and it's typically the same thing each week: pics of babies in club gear, pics of a group, pics of beans on toast. It is beyond cliche. Whenever I see a video of fan celebrating or raging about a particular moment in a game (any sport), I always suspect it is re-created. I do scream at the TV set from time to time, usually in celebration, but I don't know why it would be entertaining unless I stand up too quickly and lose my trousers or something (in that case it would probably win an award for Biggest Achievement captured on camera).
When things go bad I'm more likely to just get totally quiet with a look of shock on my face (think Karius throwing it against Benzema or Lucas tapping it straight to Vardy a couple of years before that, or Karius letting the shot go through his hands). So it wouldn't be great TV, and I'm not interested in filming myself watching a game anyway.
But did these videos ever happen?
