FlipBoardPretend you’re the producer for a local news affiliate. You have an overweight reporter at the skate park, and the man he wants to interview is on the opposite side of the half-pipe. As the reporter announces his intent to cross the half-pipe (his metaphor: “human Frogger”), you have to take a moment to say, “Yes, doing this segment live was an excellent decision.”
So what happens? Well, what do you THINK happens? Some kid gets taken out by 220 pounds of breaking news. And it’s awesome. I especially like that our portly reporter asks the kid FIVE times if the kid’s all right before realizing that the victim’s chin is bleeding. “Are you all right? Are you all right? Sorry. Sorry. Are you sure you’re all right? Hold on, I’m going to use my eyes, then ask you again.”

Tackling skateboarders is doing the Lord’s work, fat guy. Well done.
The last time an adult plowed a child like that, it cost R Kelly a crapload in legal fees.
220 pounds? Matt, you are too kind. That guys can’t be a pound under 250.
The half-pipe gods demanded blood. Portly news reporter was just doing his duty to appease them.
@UU — He’s got skinny legs. Kinda built like the Syracuse Orange. He’s probably somewhere above 220, but certainly below 250.
Matt, I will trust your blogging expertise here. However, I think we cam all agree that the bearded hobo in charge of the skate park is creepy as fuck and most likely lives in a van.

Jesus, Dinah Lohan wouldn’t let her kids hang out near that guy, even if he was made out of cocaine and liquid fame.
