Yeah, the title sucks. I didn't really know how to title this. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/sports/bk/bkc/men/1299526 CHICAGO -- CBS broadcaster Eddie Fogler apologized to the father of Georgia players Jarvis and Jonas Hayes after scrawling profane remarks on a telestrator during the Bulldogs' second-round loss to Southern Illinois on Sunday. During a commercial break late in the second half, Fogler -- in his first season at CBS -- drew a circle around a camera shot of James Hayes, who was sitting with his wife, Yvonne, and other Bulldogs supporters. Fogler also scrawled two profanities on the telestrator, along with "me" and circled them. CBS said the national television audience never saw the remarks, which were removed before the network got back from commercial. But they were seen on dozens of United Center monitors throughout the arena. When the broadcast resumed, Fogler praised the Hayes' parents, calling them great disciplinarians and people. "I have great respect for the Hayes family. I even know Mr. Hayes," Fogler said after the game. "I made a mistake. I was referring to myself when I wrote (the profane comments)." The Hayes twins played their first season for Georgia after transferring from Western Carolina after the 1999-2000 season, leading the Bulldogs to a share of the SEC East title. Jarvis Hayes led the conference in scoring and Jonas was a valuable reserve for the Bulldogs. Fogler -- who was coaching at South Carolina at the time of their transfer -- said he wrote the comments in jest because James Hayes didn't call him to let Fogler know the brothers were available. Fogler said he talked to James Hayes after the game, and that Hayes was "disappointed, and I understand his disappointment. I agree with his disappointment. But why would anybody do that over national TV? Come on." James Hayes declined comment to the Associated Press. Neither Hayes player knew anything about the incident after the game. Fogler, who coached the Gamecocks for eight years, resigned after last season when the university didn't extend his contract.
I'm not really sure. I just find it odd that anyone would scribble profanities onto a TV screen. I then find it funny that he didn't know that said scribblings would be shown throughout the arena. It would have been funny if he had written things like "she's hot!" and pointed an arrow at someone in the stands.
