When you're in the production truck, do you guys zoom in on hot bitches in the crowd?

You notice on some broadcasts, they keep on panning to the same hot chick over and over again. haha. not blazer games only, all of the ones, pretty funny stuff. like in the coaches huddle and if there's a hot chick in the pic, they kind of re-pan the image so she's in it.

That's just good marketing.
 
HCP, are you going to be working the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight?
 
What does Cinnamon, the red head girl next to the Mikes do exactly?

What's the most enjoyable/most infuriating part of your job?

Enjoyable- The fact that I get paid to watch basketball and see places I'd never be able to if I wasn't in this line of work. I guess getting a chance to meet some very interesting people along the way has been cool as well.

Infuriating- That I can't sit back and enjoy what I'm covering. Whether it's hoops, golf, boxing, football or soccer. I'm so busy during our games, I NEVER even know the score. The other is if I mess up, a TON of people see my mistakes.

Just got crewed for it this past week. I work for HBO, and this is kind of a "joint" broadcast with Showtime. Very excited that I will be kicking off my boxing season with this HUGE fight. Will probably be flying out right after game 6 if there is one of the first round. Game 7 if there is one, would be picked up by ABC and we wouldn't cover it. 4-0 sweep over the Clippers in the first round would be perfect for The HCP!

She is our Stage Manager. She is in constant communication with our Producer in the TV truck. She makes sure the Mikes know what promos and other type of business we are doing. Keeps the Mikes in check since we can't be out there.

What kind of hooks up do you get when you work a Vegas fight? Will you be staying at the MGM Grand? How many replay guys work a fight like that?

What is your favorite strategy employed in taking food home from the Team Buffett while on the Road?

We actually get fed on the plane or at arenas most of the time. It's all about those free PB&J sandwiches from the plane FAMS!. I know you won't be happy with that answer cause you are a food snob!

Does he say that a lot during the game? Funny thing is, I never get to hear those guys.
 
Besides the Blazers Broadcasting team what other NBA local coverage crew do you like? Which crew don't you like?

HBO swag is about all I get. Other than getting to have lunch with Roy Jones Jr., Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman on the regular.

Where we stay depends on who the promoters are of the fight. Stayed at 5 or 6 different hotels down there. MGM isn't that nice to be honest.

Big PPV fight like that we will have about 4 or 5 guys doing my job with me. Huge shows!

You saw that a lot more a few years ago. Now all the camera feeds go back to the NBA and we probably wouldn't want to do that anymore. Baseball crews do all the time though.

Greg's knee was tough to replay and Joels a month later. But some of the super slomo punches I do in boxing are brutal. I do my first UFC fight this June...... actually not looking forward to that!

Couple of my boys worked the Team USA game in Vegas last summer and said they almost got sick looking at 10 different angles of the Paul George injury!
