Around SBN: The Reemergence of Barry Bonds

The Bronn / Braun Conspiracy or TC on TV

Midgame on April 7th a mystery was born on Fox SportsSouth... A mystery that remains to be solved.

Star-divide

April 6th wasn't a great day for the Braves, but in the sorrows of a game where nothing was going right we here at TC found a little glimmer of sunlight in a classic zinger directed at Prince Fielder by the veteran poster Bronn. That classic moment is captured here:

Braunonbronn1_medium

The quote easily gained a spot in the comments of the thread section and deservedly so.

The mystery, though, did not begin until the next day... TC fans were enjoying a day game on Fox SportsSouth when Chip Caray produced a humorous quote apparently from the mouth of one Ryan Braun. That classic quote is captured here:

Braunonbronn2_medium

But wait... the classic TC moment produced by Bronn, and classic Ryan Braun quote are remarkably similar, and so the mystery was born...

I'll start us out with these possible explanations:

1. Pure coincidence, but that's no fun.

2. Bronn is in fact Ryan Braun.

3. Someone at FSS saw the quote on TC and mistakenly attributed it to Ryan Braun after hearing it was from "Bronn."

4. Ryan Braun reads TC daily.

Please... discuss.

I wouldn’t mind having Ryan Braun in our line-up

The quotes are identical, it must have been lifted from here. Most people wouldn’t use the word “stash” in that sentence.

This thing is friggin' hilarious.

David Huzzard’s blownsavewin.com is how I got here. This Nats fan hasn’t been around TC much lately. You’re back on my radar even if I was annoyed as all get out at the Tomahawk Chops in Nats Park. If only I didn’t have to defend the Deadskins….

If it doesnt show in the preview, then it wont when you hit post.

The url you used was: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://towleroad.typepad.com/towleroad/design/Brawny1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://towleroad.typepad.com/towleroad/2004/03/has_anyone_noti.html&h=200&w=203&sz=62&tbnid=9fIku5cNuwv8TM:&tbnh=103&tbnw=105&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dbrawny%2Bman%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=brawny+man&usg=__qKTHMokUdJF5dd4QfnCe_1R_giI=&sa=X&ei=ksKgTc_fFarm0QHYu4CnCw&ved=0CCQQ9QEwAg

That points you to a google preview page containing the image and not the image itself. What you needed was the direct url to the image itself: http://towleroad.typepad.com/towleroad/design/Brawny1.jpg

Yeah they said the quote should have been attributed to TC but they haven’t said how it got lifted.

by yondaime4 on Apr 10, 2011 6:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think the story from the Yahoo Sports blog is that the graphic was created as a joke (nice to know that the production team reads TC and shares some of our humor) and accidentally ended up on the air.

by Bronn on Apr 10, 2011 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

Not sure if anyone else noticed

But the FSS broadcast team was talking about “a stir created by Craig Kimbrel not having any music coming out of the bullpen,” and as far as I’ve been able to tell, such debate hasn’t been anywhere but in the OTs here.

At this point, it’s fairly safe to say that FSS people aren’t just sharing our humor and borrowing out conversations, but they’re one or more on the site more often than a one-shot.
