STU-GOTZ and Matty
The dustup was evidently my fault. The Score was broadcasting from inside their RV, and we couldn't see or hear them. So, when we arrived on site, I turned on our speakers at what seemed to be a reasonable volume. Well, to them it was a little disturbing and they turned on their PA really loud. I thought "OK, point taken." I turned our speakers off, and one of our promotions guys walked over to ask them to turn down and apologize if we had disturbed them.
The Score went on to do a 20 minute segment without breaking, so at one of our breaks, I walked over and turned their speaker down. I know their engineer Mark Zerang really well, so it wasn't a huge issue. Anyway, our promotions guy hung around until their break and told them what happened. He came back and said their were some ruffled feathers over there and someone called him a name.
After some CSI work later in the day, I found out that Mark Zerang was just "busting the kid's balls", and Mully and Hanley said "We'd started it" (meaning ESPN). There was no hard feelings on anyone's part, and it got blown out of proportion. In fact, I can honestly say that when they all left, there were smiles and waves. Still don't know who called Brian a dick.....
All I can say is that I'm sorry if we disturbed anyone. I'm a reasonable guy that would have turned it down if they even just waved to us that is was disturbing them. Like I said, we didn't know they were there. It didn't have to turn into a pissing contest with speakers. I certainly didn't mean to disturb anyone's work, or disrespect Mully and Hanley or anyone at the Score. Some of those guys are my friends. I was not trying to "start" something, and I hope there is no hard feelings. I could have been handled better, that's all.
I hope that's the end of it.
As of this writing, I'm forgetting it.
I echo what Miska is saying....it was actually all in good fun. We were in our final hour of our show and we heard the monitor of W&S program outside. So we figured if they're piping out sound of their show when there was no one allowed in the gates yet, why not us too. So, we had a little fun setting up speakers and jackin em to 11 like da 'tap. According to what I heard, we had a little fun with the promotions intern not even recognizing him for 20 mins while he stood outside our RV......having some fun with the kid. But they touched our equipment....damn you people!! j/k.
All in good fun....we'll be back in early Aug. for another round boys!!!
