Hero deemed ‘revolting,’ ‘disgusting’ for enjoying pork

This is everywhere today, but it’s not here yet:

I can say from experience that people will do some outrageous, bizarre things when they see a news camera. Believe me, I’ve been on both sides of the interaction.

Most of the times it’s plain jackassery from people who are way too excited at the prospect of getting on TV. We filmed a segment in Philadelphia in 2008 and had to shoot our wrap about 15 times because idiotic Phillies fans kept interrupting. It was annoying, mostly because no one did anything funny, they just harassed us and gave us the finger and such.

But eating a pork chop out of a reporter’s hand is funny. Not revolting or disgusting, funny. And Jones and Michael Kay only made it funnier by getting so broken up about it. “OH MY GOD!”

Apparently that guy was pestering Jones all game — which really makes you wonder why she’d keep doing standups from right in front of him — but there’s just nothing gross about an hour-old pork chop. Pork chops are delicious, and Kim Jones got what she deserved for waving it around in that guy’s face for so long.

Also, I’ve got to get to Target Field. Pork chop on a stick!

  1. Lost in the enjoyment of the pork chop is that that fan had a broom (a very lame one at that) but didn’t get to use it because the Yankees LOST!

  2. There are clowns everywhere. There was some idiot Mets fan lifting up his jersey and slapping his belly while K-Rod was warming up last night captured by the SNY cameras.

  3. Left out of this is Kim Jones saying “Pork phop. Stick” is two words.

    That guy is the one Yankee fan with a redeeming quality.
