The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Buffalo Bills 34-21 on Sunday to remain one of the NFL’s five undefeated teams, and one of only three teams to make it to 6-0 so far this season.
After the game, NFL Network’s Albert Breer had a chance to talk with Adam “Pac-Man” Jones in the Bengals’ locker room. Before watching the interview, let’s try to envision how the set up went.
Breer: “Let’s do it here. Lighting is good. Jovial atmosphere in the locker room. Ready when you are, Skip.” (Note: Let’s call his cameraman Skip.)
Cameraman: “Butt…butt. Albert—”
Breer: “But nothing, Skip. This is a perfect angle. Let’s give America a real sense of what it feels like to be inside.”
Cameraman: “Butt, butt. Albert…There are wieners everywhere…”
Breer: “Winners, indeed, Skip. This place is full of ’em! Big winners all over the place! Now get rolling.”
The NFL Network studio crew absolutely lost their, um, composure after the interview, giving those watching a side-splitting moment on cable TV on a Sunday afternoon while everyone else is watching actual football games on other channels. It’s good to see this taken with the ridiculousness it should.
That said, we would be remiss without mentioning that just last week three female reporters were kept out of a locker room in Indianapolis while an event staffer guarding the door tried to verify if they were allowed in because, as he said, “I’m sure you know how guys are.”
Oh, we know. Now everyone watching NFL Network knows too.
For those unable or unwilling to watch a Pac-Man interview with a few Bengal butts—and perhaps blurry flashes of other parts—at work, here is a cleaner version. You’re welcome…I think.
