Stop standing up at the games to say hi to the camera

I was watching the Detroit San jose game yesterday when there was one guy who kept standing up with his cell phone waving to the camera while play is in action.

Yes, we see you, now sit down!!

Okay.

[Chadd 916]

Anyone who does that should be ejected from the game.

Eh, I don't mind it... if you're watching the game, it shouldn't really distract you and I must say, as sad as it is, every seat with a butt in it counts.

[Fletch 219]

I agree....it drives me nuts when people pull that stupid crap.

I didn't notice that, but when I watch baseball on TV, there's always at least three people sitting behind home plate doing that through the whole game. It makes me hope they called in sick to work to go to the game, and their boss sees them.

I think most people would consider it distracting to have to peer around the guy standing in front of them hoping to get a casting call.

I saw that guy and thought the same thing too... doing it once or even twice is cool, but every goddamn time. What was he on his phone the whole game?!

Wudda Dumbass!

The worst part was he had decent seats. I'll bet that was his first Red Wings game.

Haha, now rad the thread by Vapor (i guess it was him..) about his visit in NJ.

Oh, right. I misunderstood, I thought we meant from a TV spectators point of view.

I think every rink should have a team of snipers in the rafters armed with tranquilizer guns to drop those cell phone toting idiots.

You could print the warning right on the back of the ticket. "If you choose to pose with your cell phone and make an ass of yourself, not only may you be struck by a puck, you may be rendered unconscious by our team of snipers and transported to a back room inhabited by Bob Probert who is just coming off a 3 day bender. Have a nice day."

My brother and I went to TD Banknorth Garden for a Bruins game vs. Montreal.... great game, come from behind victory for Montreal, etc.

During intermissions, they let people ride the zamboni. This one knob sat on his cell phone, and called everyone he knew... people were hollering "GET OFF THE PHONE, D*CKHEAD!" and screaming profanities at him.

I just don't like it when you're sitting on the glass, and people 10 rows back feel the need to rush up to the glass, lean on it and get their picture taken. My fiancee got my 1st row for the Bruins/Penguins.. and this one jerk kept trying to catch Crosby in the corner (basically next to him) every single time he skated around in warm-ups, and pre-game... I wanted to punch the guy in the yambag.

You have to expect folks to jam the glass during pregame and warmups. That is just the way it goes.

i have to agree with you. it drives me nuts as well

Especially since Recchi throws several pucks over during warmups.. We sat about ten rows back and my little brother went down, he was 13 at the time. He waved and stood there the whole warmup and Recchi tossed a puck over the glass to him.
