Big congrats to our Compass Point recording buddy Devin Hester, who just set an NFL all-time record for most touchdowns on kick returns with 14!

...What...? -You think it's EASY being on that tiny island?

-I was just there, and it was HELL.

-Why, I even got drafted into solving an audio problem with HUNDREDS of time-pressed people looking on.

Here's a pic:

Terry, I'm assuming your Miami T-shirt is from my alma mater, Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.


Go Redskins!

Ha ha, it's just s generic city of Miami T-shirt.

I wore it that day for Devin, because of course he was a Hurricane in college.

...Whereas nowadays, he's a tornado in the pro's!

Innocent question: What does 'touchdown on kick return' mean? -I'm ASSUMING it refers to when a team 'kicks off' after scoring, and the catcher manages to take it to the other end-zone...? -Is that right, or am I misunderstanding? (Apologies... I'm really not a follower of the game)

Is that the same thing as the Giants thing the other day? or was that something else?

Oh, and that's not actually me in the earlier photo (though it is a friend of mine, and it is where I stayed while I was on the island last month); -merely included for amusement, to show that it really looks like a 'fantasy island' at times!

Keith, you are correct as to what a "touchdown on kick return" means.

A kickoff to a receiving team is a method of transferring possession of the ball, but it is an open field.  That is, the receiving team is free to run the ball back as far as the kicking team allows them to do so.

Mr. Hester often makes the most of those situations.

Terry, if you don't mind, can you elaborate as to why Nike cut those voiceovers at your place?  Not to insult or anything, I'm sure the quality was off the charts, but was it at all a matter of convenience?  (i.e., Devin was in town?)

There HAS to be a great backstory to this!
Title: Re: Congratulations Devin Hester!
Post by: Tidewater on January 05, 2011, 02:29:15 PM
I bet he wasn't. I bet he flew there for convenience.

Damned Terry Manning taking all the work, undercutting us with awesomeness.

Crap.

I'm thinking more of a perk. Nike wants happy, well-treated endorsees.

Hey guys.

Devin was here at Atlantis on NFL business, and they took advantage of his location to come in for the Nike VOs.

Best regards.

And said business explains your proximity to gaggles of NFL cheerleaders as well me guesses.

<sour grapes> Mr. Manning's tan is sadly deficient in contrast to the other subjects. As a matter of fact, his raster tan has blown out the whole contrast ratio of the photo. </sour grapes>

Terry, I can only imagine you are driving a red 308, and your pal flys a freaking brown helicopter.

I am not jealous that you can get beautiful women to pose with you in pictures, it's that you don't have to use knock-out drugs, and duct tape. (like us lessers)

Some guys.. shishh..
