Sportsmeat

Via Awful Announcing, the clip below is the winner of the Sportsmeat Award (the "Meaty") for Best Awkward Silence in a Sports Related Clip:



While I'm blatantly stealing from Awful Announcing, I might as well include this entertaining transcript from the Dan Patrick Show of Bruce Pearl discussing his full court press on Erin Andrews:

DP: [During the Memphis game], you can't be putting your hands on Erin Andrews at halftime, Coach.
BP: Erin is a terrific sideline reporter, she knows the game, but she's also very engaging. I actually called her and texted her back, and I apologized if in any way that was unprofessional.
DP: Is texting her an NCAA violation?
BP: No, she's not a prospect.
DP: Oh, yes, she is.
BP: She's way out of my league when it comes to that category.
DP: You're not even a mid-major?
BP: Absolutely not. I'm D-II.
DP: When is the last time you accidentally broke an NCAA rule?
BP: Probably sometime in this conversation.

And just 'cuz:
