Weatherman Figures Out Double-Entendre of Jared's Jersey

Posted by Eric Barton on Fri, May 2, 2008 at 10:20 AM

By ERIC BARTON

Kansas City weathercasters missed their chance to make on-air, off-color jokes about Jared Allen's jersey number. But Twin Cities weatherman Chris Shaffer wasted no time going right for the tasteless, joking on air that Allen coming to Minneapolis was an omen that somebody was "gonna get 69 sex!"

Shaffer quickly realized he'd gone too far. He corrected himself by saying, "I don't know about that. That's a little aggressive."

Aggressive? To his viewers? To the future the Mrs. Shaffer? Certainly not to Allen, whose Jared Allen's Sports Arena & Grill makes good use of the 69 reference with the slogan "Wine 'em, Dine 'em, 69 'em." Now that's aggressive.

Have you realized yet that he actually said "gonna get 69 sacks," as in Jared Allen, a defensive end whose primary responsibility is to tackle ("sack") the quarterback, will do so 69 times?

Where were the censors when that weatherman started spouting off about sex?! I hope that was the nightly broadcast. What a foot-in-the-mouth moment!

You don't need a weatherman to tell you which way he blows.
