Congrats to HCP for winning an Emmy!

[SlyPokerDog]

HCP and the rest of the Blazer broadcasting crew won an Emmy last night for something to do with sports broadcasting and lawn mowing.

Congrats!

 

[Strenuus]

I don't think they give an emmy for the taco server.

 

[MARIS61]

Don't you have to show government ID to collect one?

 

[chris_in_pdx]

I am fucking busting a gut right now. Congrats John, but damn... you bring all this stuff on yourself.

 

[THE HCP]

Thanks for the shoutout guys. It's a NW regional Emmy......so obviously we weren't up against MNF or the Masters, but in my industry it is kind of a big deal. Last night while working a big HBO Pay-Per-View fight in NYC, they gave me some love about it, so I can say I'm a bit proud of all the hard work put in to get acknowledged for this.

As for the Mexican jokes, I hate all you! If one of you photoshop wizards could make something with me holding an Emmy, I'd tweet it out!

[THE HCP]

Thanks man. I work with a lot of crews around the world, and these guys are like family to me. Proud of everybody.

 

[THE HCP]

I am better looking than that FAMS!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

HCP, do you get an actual Emmy trophy or does it just go to the Blazers?

Nah, it will go on the shelf down in our studios.

 

[THE HCP]

Best part is, I think we beat out the Mariners and Sounders broadcasts for the award.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Congrats, John. Barrett specifically called you "the best in the business" on the last playoff game. Must.Feel.Good.

Nice Work! Congrats.

Congrats! no jokes attached

 

[jlprk]

I always wanted an Emmy myself!

 

[jlprk]

With my luck I'd get an Oscar.

 

[NWDJ]

Congratulations John!

On the reals, congrats. And yes, Barrett did say you were the best in the business, I remember that.

Also, the M's broadcast isnt as good as the Blazers, that's for sure. The Sounders I have no idea.

 

[KingSpeed]

Congrats John. Are you still in NYC?

 

[jlprk]

In this sad time, we should all console KingSpeed.

King, I know how embarrassed you must be. But you're still Hollywood to me. You just keep your chin up, keep muddling through the obstacles, and someday you'll arrive. Not everyone in show biz can get to HCP's level, but if you become known for effort, you can be our very own J.J. Hickson to us locals.

With HCP's natural talent it was inevitable. But look at Nick Collison. You can last for years and walk away with some coin in your pocket. So make yourself a lifesize cardboard cutout of HCP and box with it everyday.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Great crew.

Maybe they can get some TNT-esque cameras! The difference in picture quality between local broadcast cameras to TNT is night and day IMO.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Felicitaciones. El honor bien merecido!

Back-to-Back?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Much stiffer lawn mowing competition here in Texas

 

[Pinwheel1]

Felicitaciones. El honor bien merecido!

Back-to-Back?

Hopefully. He is now only one behind fellow Grant High alum Sally Struthers in the Emmy department. Come on John you can pass her!

 

[riverman]

Congrats Big John! It's no small accomplishment and you guys deserve it! Post a link of the trophy here maybe?

 

[Denny Crane]

They give emmys for fetching coffee and sweet rolls?

Congrats anyways

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, in all seriousness.

 

[BlazerWookee]

What does EVS stand for? El Vato Siesta?

 

[jlprk]

I don't know much about Emmies. Is this the famous Emmy that's on national TV? Will HCP give a speech thanking us all?

Or is this the plastic trophy...Best Video Guy in Oregon, or Best Supporting Gaucho in Baja California, or Best Laker Turncoat Effort From a Blazer Employee, or something.

You really beat every TV station in the U.S.? Or was it Best 10 Watt Transmission Within 500 Yards of the Rose Garden.
